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.

  • This Ain't MineWar Campaign - Horde · Level 50

    Sylvanas's loyalists have collapsed part of the canyon path to Orgrimmar. Our forces are now cut off from each other. We need to reinforce our front line or the Banshee will pick us off at her leisure. We have come too far to be slain by a thousand cuts.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Already Among UsWar Campaign - Horde · Level 50

    Sylvanas still commands the loyalty of many within the Horde. The war she started has blinded them with rage and hatred. She exploits that to maintain her support. <Saurfang scowls.> They do not yet see she will lead us to ruin, that her so-called victories are all hollow.
