Description

We are getting strange reports of an orc attack on a nearby draenei settlement called Eventide Landing. I'm hearing these particular orcs are unlike any we have encountered before. They seem... sickly, and are pale in color. The locals could use our help, commander. This seems like the perfect opportunity to test our garrison's capabilities.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ship SalvageShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    Commander, we are running low on supplies. Maybe we can salvage materials from that ship you arrived on? At the rate folks are coming through the portal we are going to be out of everything by sundown... or moondown? I'm still getting used to this place.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Keeping it TogetherShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    So much work to do... I don't even know where to start. Making sure this garrison is operational is not an easy task. Shelly still hasn't reported back to me, my assistant Brightstone and her crew are who knows where, ugh... I'm so caught up I haven't even had time to check our cache for resources.
