Journeyman's Headguard, Treads of the Skirmisher, Journeyman's Helm, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
Now that we've eliminated the deserters from Theramore, it's time to complete this operation. My local contacts have reported that the deserters base their operations in a ship moored on a small island to the southeast of the docks. Arresting their leader, Gavis Greyshield, should cause the others to lose their will to fight. Find him within the ship and convince him to surrender. I wouldn't be surprised if he puts up a bit of a fight for show, but then surrenders when he understands he can't win.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Discrediting the Deserters
I've altered the leaflets you captured from the deserters' mercenary friends at the docks. Now, anyone who reads them will get an entirely different view of the deserters and their aims.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Shambling Threat
Dustwallow is Horde territory, <name>. The humans may have their little island and their precious sand bar, but the marsh belongs to us. In time, we will surely win this stalemate with the humans. For now, we must master our own territory.
