This quest's name is a reference to the phrase "The War of Northern Aggression", which is a name used predominantly by certain Southerners to describe the Civil War.

The Valley of Trials plans spawn in the camp to the immediate left of entering Northwatch Foothold, in between the navy blue tent in the back and a canvas one. The Sen'jin plans spawn on a crate in a camp further into the valley on the right, and the Orgrimmar plans spawn in the very last camp, inside the navy blue tent.

Description

These humans in the west, they don't just wanna camp out in Durotar, mon. They got bigger plans, and those plans involve takin' our home and leavin' our skulls on pikes. Well I'm not havin' it. Nope! Not Lar! I've got family here in Sen'jin, and I'll be damned if I let one of those brutes put my Tai'tasi's head on a stick! They've got their plans written down in there, mon. Big scrolls, real important-lookin'. We gonna burn those scrolls before they burn us.

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.

  • Purge the ValleyDurotar · Level 1-30

    Northwatch is a highly-defended stronghold southwest of here, across the harbor. It's a strategically-located stronghold that the Horde still struggles to overtake. We don't need the humans setting up another Northwatch here in Durotar.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Riding OnDurotar · Level 1-30

    We gotta pass the word on to Razor Hill. These humans may be defeated today, but tomorrow they'll come again, and when they do, we'll need help from the orcs. Speak with Jhash, outside the gates of Sen'jin. He'll give you a ride to Razor Hill. His wolves know the path well.
