Between the Horde and the naga, our fleet has been decimated. We can't do anything to bring back the men who gave their lives to the sea, but sink me if I allow all of our supplies to be lost forever.

    It looks like the attack stopped, <name>. Which is a shame, 'cuz we never got to use the <class>-rocket. Anyways, Kurdran Wildhammer is up in the top of the keep an' I'm sure he'll be wantin' to gives ya a hero's welcome. Yeh earned it! Go talk to 'im! I'll move on ahead and scout out the beach.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Naga ReinforcementsTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    They've come slithering up from the ocean depths, <name>. The naga. I think their intent is to reinforce the Bastion of Twilight, probably by heading inland via the Verrall river. We can't let that happen!
