Description

I have it on good authority that SI:7 is concerned about collaboration between Twilight's Hammer and the Dark Iron dwarves in Blackrock Depths. We can act on this information, prove our value to the Alliance, and gain something for ourselves at the same time.

The report mentions that the Twilight's Hammer followers have placed a number of elemental binding stones throughout Shadowforge City, the Domicile, the Shrine of Thaurissan, the West Garrison and the East Garrison. Find and capture those stones!

Warrior: A Dangerous Alliance(A)/A Dangerous Alliance(H) - Rewards with blue quality lookalike of Helm of Might.

These rewards are also quite good at their level if you don't have a heirloom helmet for your alt(s). I also have no idea why the horde priests get race specific quests.
