Quest Log

The View from Down Here

The View from Down Here is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Dun Morogh. It is step 11 of 30 in the Dun Morogh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dun Morogh at 62.5, 53.8. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

We need to halt the construction on this Frostmane village. If we let them get too entrenched, it will be more difficult to keep them from settling here permanently.

It's time to give those brutes a gnome's-eye view of the world! Take this gnomish viewpoint equalizer and use it on the Frostmane builders to bring them down to our level. They won't be able to lift their tools and construction will come to a standstill.

While I applaud the gnomes in employing a dose of karma in their plans against the Frostmane, I'd argue it's a simpler solution to kill them instead. Can't lift their tools if they're under six feet of snow and dirt!
