TheWoWDBThose of you who are using Zygor's guide, and its telling you to do "The Foot of Fortress" note that the guide is wrong there, appearently you can't do this quest chain unless you chose the arcane tower to build. Source down there VV!

Description
Your forces are at the ready and the scroll is prepared. It's time for phase two - stealing a nexus crystal from a fortified ogre compound. We'll save the scroll to bring in reinforcements in our confrontation with the Gordunni Witch Lord. Let's meet at the base of the Gordal Foothills to head into the fortress proper.

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.
- Next Steps
We did it! We have all of the reagents for the scroll. Your arcane sanctum will be the talk of Draenor before long. I'll go back to Fort Wrynn to finish it and gather your men. Meet me there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dropping In
Witch Lord Morkurk, the leader of the fortress, has catapults set up along the road into their compound. That won't be a problem for us. Take out the ogres around the catapults and mark them for me. This vortex spell I have prepared will handle the rest.
