TheWoWDBFinally-after years where there were only a few safe places to sneak into the Silver Enclave-this quest allowed me to accomplish something I had wanted to do for years. Namely, hang out at the Beer Garden on my Horde toon!

Is this quest bugged out for anyone else? I am in the "phased" Dalaran, and I am horde, but everytime I try to go to the mob i need to kill "Arcanist Rathaella" I get ported out because she is in the Alliance area and when i get ported back to the entrance it takes me out of the phased Dalaran so I have to go all the way back to Krasarang to get re-sent to Dal. Even a GM couldn't figure out the problem and gave up, saying "maybe it's something they will hotfix in the future"...

Description
I have it on good authority that Archmage Aethas Sunreaver is being held in the Silver Enclave, home of the Silver Covenant. Arcanist Rathaella holds him in captivity. Most Covenant agents are out slaughtering Sunreavers right now, which means our chance is ripe. Slay Rathaella, and spring Aethas from his prison.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Tactical Assault
If we're to survive up above ground, we're going to need a base of operations. I'm going to try to take the center of the city. It's risky, but hopefully Jaina and the Silver Covenant won't expect it. Stay by my side now, <name>.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Kirin Tor's True Colors
Any pretense that the Kirin Tor might have had at being a "neutral" group can officially be discarded. I'm now hearing that Jaina's got Alliance troops stowed away near Antonidas Memorial.
