Rescue Effort is an Alliance-only quest for level 10. It is step 20 of 25 in The Warchief's Command storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Darkshore at 50.4, 19.7. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,400 experience and money.
The suddenness of the Horde's attack gave citizens here little time to flee. Many are hiding in Lor'danel, waiting for help.
Locate these civilians and send them to safety. We're counting on you, <name>.

The Horde must have scaled the mountains of Felwood in the North. The wisp wall is failing, it is only a matter of time before the Horde breaks through. They will attack us from both sides. We must weather this attack together.
