Description

Now that Felstone is ours, we can use its acreage - and any dead bodies we find - for our own purposes. I've received orders from higher up that you are going to be helping out in this process. You may have met Lindsay Ravensun on the battlefield in Andorhal. I've never met her before, but she seems to have made some friends in high places, because she's taking over operations at Felstone. You're to meet her at the charred Scarlet camp... the one you scouted out earlier.

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.

    Derrington and his men don't know it, but it was I who ordered the plaguing of Felstone Field. We need this area for practice. If we're to win this war for Andorhal, we need to use our newest, most versatile weapon: Val'kyr.
