Description

Here we are deep within the realm of the fire god and what do we find? The little puppets of Ragnaros, scurrying around to do his bidding. These Dark Iron laborers are finishing and packaging the weapons Twilight's Hammer hopes to use in their conquest of Hyjal. I don't care if they're here of their own free will or if they've been brainwashed or kidnapped... They're a foe of our beloved wolf ancient and they should pay the ultimate price.

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.

  • Forged of Shadow and FlameMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    The weapons the Twilight's Hammer uses against us are crafted by Forgemaster Pyrenduis within these very halls. The metal slices through armor like cheese in the hands of its wielder. Yet, when captured, the steel turns brittle and shatters. So be it, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crushing the CoresMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    These searing guardians are murderous! We destroy them, and within minutes, they reignite from the ashes. I think there's a way to destroy them permanently, but we'll need someone who can fight through the front ranks.
