Description

Something troubles me, <name>. The Twilight dragons knew just where and when to strike our airfleet. It's as if they knew our plans.

Twilight spies cower within our midst!

I'm going to take one of our remaining ships back to Orgrimmar to roll some heads. I need you to stay behind and secure this front. The Dragonmaw shaman are powerful; I have asked them to open up a portal to Orgrimmar, and I need you to help.

So. Start helping!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Death to Mor'ghorTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    The time has come. Mor'ghor dies today. Be warned, <class>. Demon blood courses through his wretched veins, and he channels unnatural power. He will be destroyed, yes. But it will not be an easy fight. You remember where Mor'ghor resides, at the top of the camp. I will meet you there. Finish him!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Muddied WatersTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    The elemental powers are strong here in the Highlands, <name>. It is why the Twilight's Hammer chose to build their stronghold here. In the right hands, we can channel this energy into something productive... like a portal directly to Orgrimmar.
