Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• The Firewing LiaisonTerokkar Forest · Level 15-30

  Over the past couple of days, I've observed a blood elf woman traveling to and from the fel orc stronghold and conversing with the fel orc leader. From her body language, she's clearly issuing orders. But why? Whose orders is she conveying?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Fel Orc PlansTerokkar Forest · Level 15-30

  The writing on the plans is far too delicate and precise to have come from any of the fel orcs. You can't make out what the text says, but the implications are pretty clear: the fel orcs are taking orders from the blood elves at Firewing Point. Why would the two forces be working together?
