Description

With the guards drunk at their posts, and others out of position, Saurfang would have had little trouble passing Three Corners undetected. The path splits just south of town. The back roads of Redridge are poorly patrolled, and are infested with gnolls and spiders. In other words, perfect for an orc trying not to be noticed. His most likely path is Lakeridge Highway. We should continue our investigation there.

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.

  • Corner CrossingLevel 50

    If Saurfang was headed in this direction, it would have been difficult for him to avoid the Three Corners watchpost. We could simply walk in there and demand information, but I have a feeling that they would not part with it willingly. So we will take another approach.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ever EastwardLevel 50

    All signs point to our quarry heading farther east. To what end, I am not sure. But I have my suspicions. I am going to scout the area from the air. Let's meet up at Redridge Pass.
