What to do
Description
With the Naxxramas war machine stopped dead in its tracks the time has come for you to help our forces at Angrathar, the Wrathgate. Nestled against the mountain in northern Dragonblight is our base of operations, Fordragon Hold. It is there that Lord Fordragon awaits your arrival! Go now, {name}! Take the north gate out of town and travel north by northwest until you arrive at your destination. Light protect you!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An End And A Beginning
Every good story has a beginning and an ending, <name>. While your story is far from over, I'll be damned if it's not already turning out to be the stuff of legend! No matter what happens to us when this is all over, what you've done at Wintergarde will be a tale told for years to come.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Audience With The Dragon Queen
Our assault against Angrathar has staggered the Scourge, but they remain unrelenting. From overhead they send their frost wyrms to strafe the field of battle, making an advance upon the gate itself impossible.
