Description

{name}, if we don't stem the tide of nerubians climbing up to us, nothing else will matter. Their numbers are just too great. We need to delay their onslaught to buy the people of Hallowfall time to prepare. The wall still serves as a very effective chokepoint. Do what you can to thin their numbers.

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.

  • Igniting HopeHallowfall · Level 75-78

    One dawntower has fallen, but a faint glimmer of hope remains with the smaller keyflame atop the wall. The shattered remnants needed to sustain that light were taken by the nerubians. Gather the remnants from nerubians you slay, and help ignite a beacon of hope!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rekindled MemoriesHallowfall · Level 75-78

    Good people died here today, <name>--a lot of them. Every Arathi soldier carries a tinderbox. It represents their devotion to the Sacred Flame. Many use it as a focus to bring forth the Flame's light. In the dark places beyond the light of Beledar, the Sacred Flame brings hope.
