StorylineBorean Tundra, step 178 of 182
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

To the northeast looms the Temple City of En'kilah, the Scourge's seat in Borean Tundra. From behind its walls, the Scourge commander has sent his Nerubians to surround us. Remaining on the defensive would doom my people, but my advisors differ in their strategies. Durm would charge in blindly, while Sage Aeire favors stealth. The Temple City has blighted the nearby lands and the native creatures. Aeire believes the pelts of the scourged mammoths can serve as a cloak that may hide an infiltrator.

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.

  • Defeat the GearmasterBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Clearly this Gearmaster Mechazod creature is not in his right mind. If his offer of a cure and immortality means all of us becoming robotic slaves then he must be stopped! The winds that guide me whisper that he's atop the pumping station out in the middle of the pools to the west.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Bad EarthBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    By curing the hides with the blighted earth outside the Temple City, Sage Aeire believes she can create a cloak which will cause most of the Scourge minions to ignore your presence. You should blend right in, she says. She'd best be correct.
