The Blackwald

The Blackwald is a quest for level 1-20 in Gilneas. It is step 75 of 100 in the Gilneas storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Gilneas at 63.3, 82.9. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,400 experience and money.

Description

It took a while, but I think I've put together what happened here. At least partially.

There were survivors of the Curse in this town. They joined others in the mountains, in Tempest's Reach.

Everyone left, except the man who kept the journal, old man Bradshaw. He noticed that the worgen attacks had stopped all of a sudden and decided to venture into the Blackwald.

There is an abandoned mill just northeast of town, it was where Bradshaw lived. See if you can find any clues there.

"You might not know my people, but the destinies of our two races have been linked since the Curse befell you. "

The destiny of both the Worgen and the Night Elves is obviously jumping around all the time, performing somersaults.

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.

  • Pieces of the PastGilneas · Level 1-20

    I found a journal by a man named Bradshaw. Unfortunately it's missing many pages. Especially towards the end. If you find enough of the pages I might be able to piece together what happened here after the Curse broke out. Who knows... maybe the people in this town found a way out.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Losing Your TailGilneas · Level 1-20

    You must have many questions, <name>. And they will be answered in time. I know why you're here and what you're looking for. I can't lead you there with the enemy tracking you. One of Sylvanas's scouts has been following your tracks. You can't lead the Forsaken to the place you seek.
