Preparations for War (Horde)

Preparations for War is a Horde-only quest for level 25-30 in Icecrown. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,050 experience and money.

Description

You there!

You look like you have some wits about you. We could use some more able bodies in Icecrown.

The Alliance scum rushed into Icecrown ahead of us, unprepared, and got just what they deserved for their impatience. We took our time, we made ready, and soon we will mount a true assault from one of the most advanced pieces of engineering known to Azeroth - Orgrim's Hammer. The Alliance don't stand a chance, and neither does Arthas.

Speak to me when you're ready to depart and lend a hand.

I believe it's getting Cold Weather Flying. I could be wrong, but I saw the "!" pop up when I bought it.
