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.

Don't be like me and disenchant the reward from this quest. You need it for the next quest: Create Your Own Strength. Had to use an item restore to get it back.
