Removing Obstacles

Removing Obstacles is a quest for level 45 in Suramar. It is step 1 of 11 in the Jandvik's Jarl storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Suramar at 70.6, 48.8. It rewards 1 reward item, 6,150 experience and money.

Description

<class>! Interested in earning some coin?

The jarl of Jandvik is missing and two headstrong whelps are vying to take over leadership. I should be the next jarl, not them!

I want you to enter Jandvik and defeat Calder and Eynar in mortal combat.

I would not normally put my trust in an outsider, but this situation requires the aid of someone like you. Jandvik would condemn me if I were caught with their blood on my hands.

Meet me in the center of Jandvik when the deed is done.

Rewards

You will receive:
