Description

We cannot hide here forever, {name}. We have to deal with Azshara. We will need to assault her palace but we do not know what defenses she has in place. I dispatched a scouting team while you were gone and they have not reported back. I cannot afford to lose any more people. Speak with Spiritwalker Ussoh. His abilities will let us see where the scouts are.

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.
