What to do
Description
It tries my patience, defending against creatures who can disappear into the sea at will and emerge where they please. But I will not back down until their like has been wiped from Azshara. Spitelash Naga have slithered up the cliff walls and are besieging this post from the east. Destroy them, {name}. Gut them head to tail, so that they may know the full fury of my Horde.
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.
- Mortar the Point
The Naga started making a move on the peninsula here after we finished building this rocketway terminal. But there's no problem in this world that can't be solved with gratuitous firepower! That's what my daddy used to say. Before the accident. I'm running short on supplies, though.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Investigating the Sea Shrine
The Naga invaders have set up a series of shrines along the cliffs. I don't know their purpose, <name>, but I believe they're strengthening our foes. I need someone to get in there and root out this threat.
