For Horde: To Gilneas
Link to the entire Reclamation of Gilneas Questline in Patch 10.2.5
Genn Greymane says: Gilneas will be ours again. Let me know when you are ready.
Mia Greymane says: Thank you for offering your aid, <Player>. I knew you'd come.
Genn Greymane says: I have little experience with the Scarlet Crusade. They rose to power after we walled off Gilneas.
Genn Greymane says: My understanding is that they were originally formed to eradicate the Scourge. A noble enough cause.
Genn Greymane says: But their zealotry has caused them to turn on any who did not join their crusade.
This quest can still be picked up in Stormwind by Horde.
You will get a good kicking from the PvP guards. So need to be fast, rugged and stealthy (Bear would be good). Pick Q, mount gryphon, don't die.
That is every comment on this page.

What to do
Description
The time has come to reclaim my kingdom, champion. The Forsaken have left the land, as promised. However, in their absence it seems the Scarlet Crusade have decided to move in and use the city as their own personal stronghold. I mean to move them out. Join me in retaking Gilneas.

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.
