IMPORTANT INFO:
- End of the Supply Line and Harrying the Hunters can be done by both factions, but "The Voice of..." followup requrement is different.
- Goldrinn's Ferocity and Howling Mad allows other players to share you quests next on line, but Lycanthoth the Corruptor{H} will let you be in same phase as npc.
- Into the Maw!{A2;H;H2}. There are 2Alliance and 2Horde variants, for each faction one from wolf spirit and one backup from main quest guy in Shrine of Goldrinn.
- Whole Firelands Forgeworks(8) chain doesn't have any pre-quests. You can get first time to Hyjal and ask warlock to summon you there and do the quests. However Lightning in a Bottle{H} is needed to use the standart teleport.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Forgemaster Pyrendius
A terrible evil squats in the heart of this cavern, <name>. Forgemaster Pyrendius has personally crafted many of the cursed weapons that Twilight's Hammer is using in their conquest of the realms above. Before we leave these lands of flame... Pyrendius must die. He will not go down easy.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Disrupting the Rituals
The firestorms up ahead are unbound elementals in the purest form - something I didn't think could exist outside their own plane. Only very skilled summoners could unleash something like this. <name>, head into the Inferno and seek out Twilight Inferno Lords.
