I have asked you here to discuss a matter of great importance to the Horde. Varok Saurfang is no longer in Stormwind. Let us discuss this turn of events.

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.

  • The Dark Lady CallsLevel 50

    Champion, the Dark Lady has need of you. We cannot speak more of this here. Make haste to Orgrimmar at once. Best not to keep her waiting.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Way OutLevel 50

    My spies report that our High Overlord did not leave the way he entered, nor any other way we know of. No signs of him were seen at any of the known exits from the Stockades or the sewers. He simply was in his cell one moment, and gone the next. Begin your investigation around the city of Stormwind.

Lost Honor has 13 steps, from The Dark Lady Calls to Queen's Favor.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Redridge Mountains (5), Orgrimmar (4), Elwynn Forest (2), Swamp of Sorrows (2).
