StorylineThe Waning Crescent, step 8 of 13
RewardsEnchanted Nightborne Coin, 20g 22s, 6,150 XP

Description

This is as good a chance as we are going to get to rescue Verene's daughter. Here is how this is going to work. You are going to wait here for the guard to pass by on their way to their guard shift. Look for something to hide in. <Silgryn marks a spot on your map.> You will know the guard by their bright red armor. Follow closely, but not so closely that you are seen. It may be necessary to kill the guard when you reach your destination. The child's name is Korine. Good luck.

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.

  • All Along the WaterwaysSuramar · Level 45

    I've noticed some wandering eyes, lately. I am more than happy to continue delivering the goods to Vanthir, but it is getting increasingly dangerous to do so. The Duskwatch that walk the bazaar are by far the most observant. Find and slay the Orbitists so that I may deliver the goods safely.

After this quest

    <Korine stomps her foot and refuses to move.> They put my friends in cages! Make the bad men stop hurting them! They take them out the garden and they never come back! <Korine gestures stubbornly toward the door.> I am not going home until they do!
