Description

<Vice Admiral Keller rolls up the battle plans.> We've got all the information we need to keep Valgarde protected. You must take these battle plans to Westguard Keep, located on the western fjord cliff wall. Speak with the flight master assistant, Emilune Winterwind. She will put you on the back of a gryphon headed towards Westguard. Once there, find Captain Adams. He's the one in charge. Adams will know what to do with these plans.

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.

  • Dragonflayer Battle PlansHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    While we were able to gather very little information as to the whereabouts of Ingvar, we do know that Yanis resides in a cave next to the worg pit inside Wyrmskull Village. Intelligence gathered from the rescued soldiers indicates that Yanis guards Dragonflayer battle plans.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Meet Lieutenant Icehammer...Howling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Do you see those vrykul buildings on the bluffs to the northeast? The vrykul call that place Nifflevar. It's where most of their harpoon attacks on our frigates originate. Well guess what? The time for payback has come, <name>.
