Description

We've already lost half a dozen men to a hail of bullets and arrows coming from atop this fortress. I haven't seen the face of the enemy that's firing, but I don't need to. I know the name of the man up there. Leopold. That's right, there's only one man up there, picking off my men one-by-one. And from what I can see, there's only one of you. Sounds like a fair fight to me.

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 WrathcasterEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    One of the more vile members of the Scarlet Crusade, Mataus the Wrathcaster, lurks within the barracks' dungeon. Undeath suits his dark manner. Were I younger and on the front lines, I'd run him through myself. As things are, I'm left behind to lead our forces from the rear.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The CommanderEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Scarlet Commander Marjhan is cunning, shrewd, and willing to do anything to win a battle. Before all these things, however, she is loyal. I have no doubt you'll find her in the barracks' central chamber, fighting under a crimson banner, until she either wins or dies. Make sure it's the latter.
