Swear Fealty to Lich King, then you will get: Alliance: Defender of Azeroth or Horde Defender of Azeroth. Speak to [npc=29246] and report to duty, he will create Death Gate, you'll be in Org or SW.

If you have recently race changed to an allied race and you see this on your class order hall when you open your map, this quest is NOT at the Legion order hall but in the og Acherus in the plaguelands. If you go/fly there, you will be able to accept it from Mograine.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Defender of AzerothLevel 10-90

    An excellent choice. Troubling times come. As one of the chosen few, it is both your burden and privilege to defend our world. It is a great honor. But also know you will be met with the scorn of the ignorant. Oftentimes, mortals are incapable of seeing past our fearsome appearance.
