Matters at the Cenarion Refuge have only gotten worse since you left.


I was gone for no longer then two minutes to fly over and warn the emissary and things here have gone down the toilet?
You really know how to hold it together.

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.

  • Warning the Cenarion CircleZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    The Cenarion Expedition has become a large organization with a good degree of autonomy. These events are important enough that we need to warn the Cenarion Circle. Do not worry, I will not ask you to travel back to Moonglade; we have emissaries as nearby as Hellfire Peninsula.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Umbrafen TribeZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    The naga are terrible, yes. But even more terrible are the traitor tribes of Broken and Lost Ones that helped them! The worst of all are the Lost Ones of the Umbrafen tribe; they use dark magic to trap and enslave others.
