Powering the Defenses (Horde)

Powering the Defenses is a Horde-only quest for level 20-40 in Talador. It is step 4 of 24 in the In the Shadows of Auchindoun storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Talador at 61.6, 64.1. It rewards 2,750 experience and money.

Description

It's good to see a Horde champion joining the fight.

Auchindoun's defenses are faltering quickly. The few Auchenai soulpriests not on the front are working fervently to maintain them.

Soulbinder Tuulani went inside the nearby Tomb of Lights to retrieve a backup power pylon and hasn't returned. If you can find her and get her and the pylon back here safely it would help greatly.

The question mark on the map is slightly deceiving, the NPC is in fact down inside a tunnel. The entrance is at 59 , 65. After you enter, go down the stairs, make a right and continue down, then go left in the first hallway.
