Description

We've been attacked before. But this time... <Walker shudders.> This was different. They didn't want livestock, grain, or money. They took torches and some barrels of tar we use to fix our roofs. I don't know what they're going to do with it, but... I can guess. They're going to burn something down. You need to stop them before they do another homestead harm!

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.

    Both Geya'rah and Danath have received word of unrest in the Arathi Highlands--civil unrest in Stromgarde, and raids on Mag'har and Stromic outposts. Danath and Geya'rah are returning to their homes, Stromgarde and Hammerfall, to defuse tensions. I asked to accompany them.
