Description

An ally of yours, Thaelin, is helping us counter the Iron Horde.

I do not trust such devices. Use it and let me know what you see.

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.
