Description
I have witnessed the relentless advance of the Scourge firsthand. It is only a matter of time before they swarm our gates. The fate that befell Silvermoon must never be repeated. Death knights from the Ebon Blade have stepped forward to combat the threat, but even they will need reinforcements. The Argent Crusade has answered the call once more. I ask that you aid them in keeping our people safe, {name}. Their commander awaits your arrival.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cause for Distraction
The Horde has come under siege, <name>. The undead Scourge rises like a grim tide, in numbers not seen since Arthas Menethil sat upon the frozen throne. And as if that were not concerning enough... something terrible has occurred. What I am about to tell you, I share in the strictest confidence.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Field Reports
We cannot anticipate where and when the Scourge will strike. In order to mount a defense, the Argent Crusade has set up outposts at several key locations. But we have yet to receive word from them. Seek out my field officers along the southern road. I expect a full report when you return.
