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.

  • Damned IntrudersLevel 50-60

    It is imperative that these reports reach Commander Throgg, but we are hard-pressed to defend the Crossroads. Before you depart, I ask that you aid us in thinning the Scourge's numbers. It may grant us the reprieve we need.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Message from IcecrownLevel 50-60

    Our forces in Northrend have sent word. Justicar Trueheart requests our immediate assistance. We must respond to this summons at once, no matter what terrors await us in Icecrown. A <class> like you would do much to bolster our chances on the battlefield.
