What to do

StorylineSwamp of Sorrows, step 11 of 36
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

Just killing ogres won't be enough. The ogres themselves are being summoned onto the battlefield far too rapidly. I need you to go far behind the enemy line and seek out their summoners. The orcs are using warlocks to bring their reinforcements in. Cut down the warlocks, and the portals should close. There aren't many of them; a quick, surgical strike should cripple the enemy.

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.

  • Tides of DarknessSwamp of Sorrows · Level 15-30

    The battle's proceeding just the way I wanted it. With their warriors nearly exhausted, I've sent in our cavalry. What I wasn't expecting was ogres. Our knights are well matched against the brutes, but they're going to need help. I need you back on the field right away, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Marking the FallenSwamp of Sorrows · Level 15-30

    We've taken more than we've lost, but we've still lost too much. Too many brave have given their lives for the Alliance out there. I want to make sure they're given proper honors no matter how fierce this battle gets. Take these flags out with you and place one on any fallen soldier you see.
