Description

Turalyon is thinking like a battlefield captain and not like a leader! My people, the sin'dorei, have suffered much in these past few wars. How many must die in the name of his victory? Please, {name}. Rescue any citizens you can and help guide them safely to the boats at the Silver Landing. Every life saved is a victory for the blood elves.

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.

  • Where Heroes HoldIsle of Quel'Danas · Level 80

    We have stopped the Devouring Host's initial attack. This battle will not be won if we go on the defensive, not even to safeguard the innocents of Quel'Danas. Focus on culling the Voidfront. Without their invading force, the Devouring Host cannot maintain a foothold!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Safe PathIsle of Quel'Danas · Level 80

    We must rescue the civilians and get them to the ships, yet the path to the docks is barred by a vile, hungering creature. If we are to save my people, then we need to clear an evacuation path. We cannot leave them to fend for themselves.
