I dont know if this has always been the case but given the instructions in the text descriptions my guess is not, the quests in the chain currently attach a single use teleport scroll for each zone. They are shown as the special item for each quest. This quest however provides you with a hearthstone but does not have an icon for it on your screen. I just looked in my inventory expecting to find a teleport scroll and found the stone instead.

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.

  • Cloak and DaggerLevel 10-45

    <The cultists seem to have a base of operations in Darkshire. At least Althea Ebonlocke is a member, but it is likely that the entire Night Watch has been compromised.> <The best course of action for now is to retrieve the dark implements for their ritual and make an attempt on Althea's life.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Unseen BladeLevel 10-45

    We can't let Stormwind fall to the Legion, and I don't trust Shaw or his SI:7 goons to take care of the Hand on their own. The two of us need to handle this while there's still time. The entire city is on edge from murmurs of the cult's activities.

The Kingslayers has 7 steps, from Finishing the Job to The Unseen Blade.
