FYI for anyone returning to this during Lemix:

If you accidentally take a death gate or portal back to the Infinite Bazaar, you can take the Karazhan Portal in Dalaran and fly back to the quest.

You'll get a warning that you're leaving the timeline, but nothing will happen.

As a note, I think the timeline warning about being sent back to Dalaran is bugged, so this may not be an option once they fix it.

Description

Galen Trollbane is a fool if he thinks that he can betray the Ebon Blade. I have had enough of his games. The fallen prince wastes our time playing the king of a ruined throne, while heroes sacrifice their lives to save this world. If Galen Trollbane will not open the tomb of his father, then we must take the sword and do it ourselves. If he chooses to resist, so be it.

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.

  • Death... and DecayLevel 10-45

    My family has fought the Witherbark trolls for generations... their presence in Arathi has always been a curse upon the land. I want to drive them out of Stromgarde for good! Destroy their supplies and we shall give them no incentive to return. Blight their supplies...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The King RisesLevel 10-45

    King Thoras was one of the greatest warriors this world has known. His people loved him and his enemies feared him. He only ever spoke truth, often saying the words others were afraid to speak. King Thoras lived a life of war and he certainly deserves the peace of death.
