Description

We now have several separate confirmations of unusual activity up on the Shadow Ridge. This is disturbing; we thought that the scouting missions already undertaken had been thorough. One of my scouts hasn't reported back yet. {class}, I need you to head southwest to the other side of Silverline Lake and find Tolaan, and see what has delayed him.

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.
