Description

If you're going to be an asset to the Forsaken, you need to learn how to fight. And there's no better target than the Scourge minions that continue to pester us. The wretched ghouls and Rattlecage skeletons that roam the north and to the east are former troopers of the fallen Scourge. They should prove to be an even match for a fledgling {class} like you. Do not tarry - when you are done, speak to me again.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shadow Priest SarvisDeathknell · Level 1-10

    Are you still here, <name>? You know, I'm only a deathguard. I don't have many tasks I can hand out to passers-by like you. I'd recommend that you talk to Shadow Priest Sarvis. I remember, he helped me get on my feet after I was plucked out of that tomb. I'm sure he'll do the same for you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Novice ElrethDeathknell · Level 1-10

    Why don't you go speak with my novice, Elreth? She serves me, and will have some tasks to which you can apply your new abilities.
