Here is a good spot.

I received the quest after I was done questing in Azsuna. I was a bit tired of killing demons alone without a combat ally -- I am the Highlord and I have to do everything on my own? What are the underlings for? -- so I went to the Illidari Stand flightpoint. Several Illidari demon hunters are holding the line against demons nearby. The demons that come to be slaughtered by the Illidari even have reduced health.

Description

Anger seethes within me like smoldering coals. One stoke, and that anger will flare into a roaring flame. The Legion's attack on Exodar was just the motivation I needed, Highlord. I've watched my brethren die for the last time. Now, I will be the one who does the killing. I WILL have justice! Help me, Highlord, and slay any demons you encounter in lower Faronaar.

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.

  • To FaronaarLevel 10-45

    We are keeping a close eye on Legion movements at Faronaar in Azsuna. Our intel suggests that a high-ranking lieutenant, possibly the dreadlord Balnazzar himself, masterminds the attacks in that region. This may be our chance to strike a blow at the Legion's leadership.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Communication OrbsLevel 10-45

    We have important work at hand, Highlord. Spread out across the legion camp are orbs that are vital to the Legion's planning and strategy. Destroying them will severely damage their efforts. I will go with you, Highlord, to see this through.
