Description

While your commander has his focus diluted by his loathing of your Alliance rivals, you can depend on me to direct my attention squarely on the real enemy here - the Lich King and his minions. In order to hold any hope of conquering him at the citadel, your people must take and hold each gate. For now, let us focus on the first. Return to the front and prod their defenses. Look for any sign of weakness that we might exploit. I'll await your report, {class}.

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.

  • Takes One to Know OneIcecrown · Level 25-30

    While we should never miss an opportunity to strike out against the Alliance, we mustn't forget about the Scourge. We won't have the numbers here to make a proper assault in the glacier for weeks, but that won't keep us from learning all we can know about their defenses.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • That's Abominable!Icecrown · Level 25-30

    Abominations... They can be a very capable enemy. I've seen them turn the tide of battle more than once. What few realize, is that they can also be very capable friends. They are not deep thinkers.
