Description

There's nowhere to hide up here. We need to keep moving, and to do that, we need to pass right through the heart of the Iron Horde. It's time to turn this unarmed group of prisoners into an army.

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.
