The breadcrumb for this quest is missing/bugged/unavailable, still, 24th of June 2025, patch 11.1.7 (The War Within). The NPC is not always marked on the map either, even when tracking low level quests - or being level appropriate.

Description

Care to make a quick trip to the south? I've three friends that I haven't heard from in a while. With these strange tentacles popping out of the ground to the north, and all of the demonic activity, I don't dare leave my family. Bolyun set up his camp in the southwest corner of the forest, just to the northwest of that damnable Fire Scar Shrine. Alenndaar and Harlown joined him, so they should all be okay, but you never know. Thanks, {name}.

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.

  • The Goblin BraintrustAshenvale · Level 7-30

    If we could just stop the damned bombing from the goblins' creations we'd be able to launch a counter-offensive to take back Silverwind Refuge! It's been my experience that goblins are either lazy and unproductive, or too productive and end up killing themselves with their own explosives.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In a BindAshenvale · Level 7-30

    <name>, you must be cautious. Kaliva is still about and when she captured us, she specifically mentioned your name. Only her heart can free us from these chains, but I think it's all a trap for you!
