Stemming the Irontide is a quest for level 70 in Morqut Village. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Forbidden Reach at 34.6, 57.7. It rewards 3 reputation rewards and money.
Description
Unfortunately, we are not the only ones who took notice of opportunities in the Reach.
Our scouts have sent word of pirate vessels moored offshore. The first longboats have apparently come ashore on our northeastern beaches.
Our history is not theirs to plunder. If you come across these pirates, send them swimming back to their little boats.
I found it easier to kill the pirates on the way to completing Wings of Mercy. Head northwest, to approximately /way 34.8 45.8 to get started. The pirates are surprisingly inclusive. Killing a parrot counts as killing a pirate. (Someone must have mis-heard the requirements.) 🤪
Centered in their most ancient city, the Valdrakken Accord is the unified might of all dragonkind, seeking to protect not only their island home but all of Azeroth.
Led by the stalwart Scalecommander Azurathel, the Obsidian Warders were trained to be the shield of the black dragonflight. Today these dracthyr use those skills to defend those most in need against overwhelming odds.
Led by the brave Scalecommander Cindrethresh, the Dark Talons were trained to be the secret weapon of the black dragonflight. Today, these dracthyr use their skills to turn the tide of any battle regardless of how outnumbered they are.
The essence of fallen foes imbued with the power of a primal storm. Used to procure items from Mythressa in Valdrakken and various vendors in Morqut village.
Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on The Forbidden Reach, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
Getting there

Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.
We are by no means ready to relax, but at least our encampment here is stable... for the time being. I should be able to handle the rest of our operation from here. Emberthal arrived while you were in the field. She and her allies are surveying the area from the cliffs above.
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
