TheWoWDBOn launch day, this quest really rustled my feathers. It wasn't so bad afterwards, but trust me. At the time, that quest was for the birds. It was just a boring old kill quest too, it was nothing to crow about.

Description
Do you see that? There is a gigantic raven just past the tree line. I'm not getting anywhere near that. In fact, I'm not sure any of the men are sufficiently equipped to deal with a threat like that. Do you want to handle this one yourself, commander? Once those ravens are gone we can start sending more troops into the woods. So we will be killing two birds with one stone... or should I say kill five birds with... <Confused by his own analogy, Baros scratches his head.> You get the point.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Build Your Barracks
I must say, commander, this garrison has really come along. We have enough materials, all we need now are the blueprints I drafted up and I can begin construction on your barracks. Hmm... now where did I put those blueprints?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Qiana Moonshadow
If we are to win this war we are going to need more than foot soldiers. We need champions. Qiana Moonshadow's performance in Tanaan and Eventide Landing was quite impressive. Perhaps you should speak with her about taking on a greater role in the battle against the Iron Horde.
