The Front Line

The Front Line is an Alliance-only quest for level 5-30 in Darkshore. It is step 20 of 55 in the Darkshore storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Darkshore at 72.3, 19.1. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Their forces are weakened, their supplies destroyed, and their subleaders are dead. It is time for us to take this fight to their home, and their leader. I'm admittedly still in the dark as to what spurred their sudden aggression, but perhaps we will find some answers on their doorstep.

Take this arrow that Balthule prepared and report to Sandrya Moonfall deep in Shatterspear Vale to join the attack. It would be best to secure a ride on one of our nightsabers - going on foot would be dangerous.

***SPOILER ALERT*** (kinda)
This quests takes you into Shatterspear Vale, that area where you see trolls dancing around the lake when you fly to/from Moonglade. For those of you who always wanted to visit (like me) it was fun to finally get in there.
To clarify, you don't HAVE to ride the provided nightsaber, but if you don'e have a swift mount it will save a lot of time.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • On the BrinkDarkshore · Level 5-30

    I've already been working on something for breaking down their protective wards. With a focus based in their power and a bit of druidic magic, we should be able to breach their shields. Find their shaman to the east and southeast and recover several of their amulets.
