Description

This is going to take a while, but I'm sure we'll beat them back.

You're more good to Thousand Needles elsewhere. We have reports that the gnomes and goblins out on the flooded salt flats somehow survived on a giant barge! Rendow is on the dock. She'll get you a boat to go there.

Mind helping us out a little on your way to her?
