Description

The General is too preoccupied with the looters in Taurajo. Too soft! We ought to be focused on our next move against the Horde. There's valuable intelligence that might be compromised if we allow the ruins of Taurajo to continue to burn. While you're running the General's errand, dig around for any maps or notes you can find. I can speak a little of the orcish tongue - I'll be able to make sense of what you find.

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.

  • Clap 'Em In IronsSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    Our policy of conscripting non-violent criminals from the Stormwind Stockades has come back to haunt us, <name>. Some of my less-scrupulous soldiers broke ranks after our victory in Taurajo and are looting the remains of the city. This is a breakdown in discipline.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pick-a-PartSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    These bulky dwarven siege engines aren't cut out for the close-quarters fighting of the Battlescar. I've got some new designs I'd like to try out, but first I'm going to need some spare parts. There's plenty of wreckage sitting in the Battlescar.
