Okay, major problem: Started this quest, and Vizier Vorgorsh was not there. Dropped the quest and picked it up again, logged in and out, hung around for 15 minutes, checked the place on the map, did /tar Vizier V—he just was not there. Finally dropped the quest and hearthed and did a couple other quests, hoping it might help. Now, cannot find the damn quest giver. >.<

Also, for some reason I can't open a ticket. Has anyone else had problems with this quest?

If you get stuck like I did, perhaps you hearthed because it was bugged, or something along those lines, and can't figure out how to get back in, there is a rope on the opposite side of the first one that you can right click to climb up.

Description

To secure the fortress we need to kill Witch Lord Morkurk, but I don't think we should go straight after him. His three lieutenants - Vorgorsh, Zulmork, and Cromaug - are all powerful mages, and all of them are fiercely loyal to Morkurk. I suspect that if we engage the Witch Lord that they will rush to his aid. Let's take them out so that cannot happen.

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.

  • Prized RepossessionsTalador · Level 20-40

    The Gordunni were given copies of my blades as a gift from the Iron Horde. But what do they use them for? Toothpicks! Sure the blades are low grade copies but it's still MY design and I can't stand to think of them in those ogre hands for a moment longer!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Lord of the GordunniTalador · Level 20-40

    Witch Lord Morkurk is the leader of the Gordunni. He's the one that set up the Iron Horde trade and, even worse, my former boss gave him one of my best maces! We got to get my mace back! I mean... we need to kill him to secure the jovite for your arsenal!
