What to do
Description
The situation here in the Highlands changes by the minute. Our objective is to storm the Bastion of Twilight, but I can't even secure a landing zone on the shore without the blasted Horde creating trouble. While I scrape together the remains of the fleet, I need men on the shore securing the beach head. Report to Lieutenant Emry on the shore and help his marines to beat back the Horde!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Naga Reinforcements
They've come slithering up from the ocean depths, <name>. The naga. I think their intent is to reinforce the Bastion of Twilight, probably by heading inland via the Verrall river. We can't let that happen!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shredderectomy
Our tanks have to pull back, and that means repairs in the field. Smash up summa them diamond-bladed shredders those wee green monsters are using to fell the trees along the coast, and bring me a heap of leftover shredder parts. We'll bang together sumthun' to get our tanks movin' again.
