Description

Here, I'm too slow to get these laggards to safety. Take my horn and sound the evacuation.

We need to get the people out of here before the drogbar arrive. The warbraves can take it from there.

For now just send them over to Spiritwalker Ebonhorn. That fool can watch over them until it is safe.

If you get to this quest, but the village is already in its destroyed phase, make sure that you have turned in your allied race starter quest that sends you to Orgrimmar and gives you the tabard. I tried all kinds of things like relogging and leaving the zone, but that was the only thing that worked.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • High WaterHighmountain · Level 10-45

    Riverbend! Is that what the Underking said? That is my home and the place where we store our winter supplies. We must make it there at all speed and warn them. Meet me there.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Grasp of the UnderkingHighmountain · Level 10-45

    If we have one good fortune in this it is that Dargrul has no knowledge of how to use the hammer. He keeps thinking of the hammer as a weapon instead of a tool of creation. Even so, he has imprisoned our tribesman in fists of stone summoned from the earth.
