First it was just Black Blood, now ethereals?

I don't know how all this squares, but we need help if we wanna find out.

Orweyna left to get Alleria a while ago. We should head over to Slam Central Station to see if they've made it down here yet.

Funny quest. The tall, thin Amazon-like elf, wielding a pair of glaives....... held up at customs by three corrupt Goblin bureaucrats and a dumb but pedantic hobgoblin holding a crate.

As a Goblin. I LOL'ed at Alleria and cheered on our heroic customs agents.

And for extra Goblin special sauce........

If you are Goblin then you get to "negotiate" in your special Goblin way with the Goblin custom agents.. The Common negotiation involves reasoning & bribery, the "Goblin" way involves subtle leave-nothing-to-the-imagination intimidation.

Cool quest Blizz!

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.

    I don't like thinkin' that Noggenfogger's part of this, but the only way we'll know is if we go and talk to him. Steamwheedle's headquarters is probably a good place to start lookin' for him. We'll give him a chance to explain himself.
