What to do

StorylineDustwallow Marsh, step 74 of 83
Rewards2,050 XP

Description

Stonemaul Village was invaded by the brood of Onyxia. But why would the daughter of the black dragonlord, Deathwing, descend upon our lands? This is most troubling. Surely, Onyxia was driven here for a purpose beyond laying siege to a small band of ogres. Notify Mok'Morokk at once! Action must be taken.

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.

  • Raze Direhorn Post!Dustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    There's no scrying necessary to see the trouble my new "neighbors" are creating. And if this is the band that burnt down the Shady Rest Inn, as you claim, there's no reason to tolerate their presence any longer. Take this torch and raze their camp to the ground!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Justice DispensedDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    I doubt the Grimtotems will give up their campaign to drive humans from the marsh, though I get the impression you probably don't mind that. At least we have dealt with the perpetrators of the crimes at the Shady Rest Inn. Go tell your leader that his vengeance has been sated.
