Description

<The communication console hums.>

Those worgen you killed were the scouting party. There are hundreds more incoming! Looks like Crowley and Bloodfang made the blood offering to every human in Lordaeron.

Get in one of those Horde cannons and send them all back to their makers. Let the waters of Lordamere Lake run red with their blood!

Go down to the dock and the cannons are there to fire upon worgen. Interesting note as you're killing them, body parts go flying. Why they felt they needed to add that is beyond me. Though the screen-shot shows turn in at the rear guard area, the Admiral is at the Sepulcher. (I wasted a good 7-10 mts. going where the map showed the ?).

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Reinforcements from FenrisSilverpine Forest · Level 5-30

    Those that survived your assault on Fenris managed to drink the blood of the wolf. They turned into ferocious worgen, hell-bent on vengeance. Now they paddle across Lordamere Lake and assault my sea dogs. Many have already been killed. The worgen monsters must be stopped!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Excising the TaintSilverpine Forest · Level 5-30

    It looks like a group of the ambushers stayed behind. Make them pay for their insolence! Kill all of the Bloodfang stalkers at Olsen's Farthing. For Sylvanas! For the Horde!
