i wanted to slap this guy.
"See, he's a Death Knight... and I know they're on our side and all... but it wasn't too long ago they were servants of Arthas."
I was a Death Knight when i did this. THE NERVE! blizz should do like they did with Darion Morgraine in Icecrown and have a different dialog.

Description

Well, {name}, you helped us out... so I figure it's only fair that we help you out as well. You're looking for Thassarian? He disappeared this morning. We think he went off north to the Wailing Ziggurat. If we hadn't fought side by side by him we'd even think he was a traitor. See, he's a Death Knight... and I know they're on our side and all... but it wasn't too long ago they were servants of Arthas. But not Thassarian, he's a good guy. Go to the Wailing Ziggurat, see if he's doing okay.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Surrounded!Borean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Our situation is nearly hopeless. We were ordered to take the Wailing Ziggurat with a handful of men. We'll be lucky if we can hold this position against the Scourge. We're outnumbered, injured and have no escape route.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Finding the PhylacteryBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    No time for small talk, <name>. I was sent on what was to be a suicide mission to take this ziggurat. I've accomplished my duty as a soldier, now is the time to get some answers. This lich has knowledge I seek, yet I cannot inflict pain to his physical body to obtain that knowledge.
