Description

Delber's technicians have been up day and night helping us prepare for this strike. Aside from building and tuning the personnel launcher, his men have prepared the covert operations air wing for a strike on Frostmane Retreat. They'll be waiting for a signal to begin their strikes.

Take this flare with you, and set it off near the cluster of buildings at the northern end of the village, and the buildings at the southern end of the village. The flying machines will make a quick strike at each site.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Eliminate the ResistanceDun Morogh · Level 1-30
The Frostmane chieftain died in the initial trogg onslaught, but they've been led by a well-respected warrior ever since. Battok the Berserker was the one who organized the Frostmane retreat, the construction of the new village, and the strikes against Kharanos and the mountaineers.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

It's Raid Night Every NightDun Morogh · Level 1-30
The reports I'm sending Captain Tharran can't really convey the amount of trouble the Frostmanes have created for us. Your assault on the village has started to relieve some of the pressure. The raids are still frequent, but the trolls don't have the numbers they once did.
