Description

Turalyon was no doubt hoping for better news, but I fear I cannot provide it. Attempting to drive into the heart of the Legion now would cost us everything. There must be another way. I do not know what it is, but I trust that we will find it. Best not keep Turalyon waiting. We must move forward.

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.

    The foothold you established allows us to check in with our field operatives. On our last mission here, we set up a bastion to the northeast. It should be defensible for now, but that could change at any moment. Illidan has gone ahead to assess the situation.
