Description

<You hear a buzzing in your ear.> {name}. It sounds like you and Ariok have finished with your tasks. I've also finished mine. Return to Flame Crest. I've prepared a few packages to deliver to the Big Three: Thorg'izog, Neeralak, and Xi'lun. You've already met General Thorg'izog. This will be your chance to meet the other two. That is, before you kill them.

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.
