I'm too dumb to be in a cult. Been that way since I felled off the back of the zeppelin. And hit them propellors. Landed on a rock. They fixed my head up with a metal bowl to make it round and hard.

<He thunks is fist against his skull.>

Then the lightning done come.

What to do

StorylineTwilight Highlands, step 75 of 236

Description

The Twilight's Hammer agents still lurk within the confines of Orgrimmar. I need someone I trust to collect the final evidence of treachery. <Eitrigg pulls you aside.> I suspect that Sauranok the Mystic is involved. I need you to uncover the truth, {name}. The Twilight's Hammer has placed their agents within the ranks of the workers at the airship docks to spread their lies across the land. Speak with them. If you find evidence of Sauranok's guilt then show him what happens to traitors of the 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.

  • Saurfang Will be PleasedTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    The portal is ready! It's not powerful enough to transport an army, but we can maintain the connection long enough to allow important individuals to pass back and forth. Saurfang will want to know about our progress here. Walk through the portal to Orgrimmar, then deliver the news him.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to the HighlandsTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    With Orgrimmar secure and our Dragonmaw allies behind us, we can turn our attention to the conquest of the Twilight Highlands and the utter destruction of Deathwing's forces there. I need the Horde's best on the front lines. That means you. And all your friends. The Highlands WILL be ours!
