IMPORTANT INFO:


  2. End of the Supply Line and Harrying the Hunters can be done by both factions, but "The Voice of..." followup requrement is different.

  4. Goldrinn's Ferocity and Howling Mad allows other players to share you quests next on line, but Lycanthoth the Corruptor{H} will let you be in same phase as npc.

  6. Into the Maw!{A2;H;H2}. There are 2Alliance and 2Horde variants, for each faction one from wolf spirit and one backup from main quest guy in Shrine of Goldrinn.

  8. Whole Firelands Forgeworks(8) chain doesn't have any pre-quests. You can get first time to Hyjal and ask warlock to summon you there and do the quests. However Lightning in a Bottle{H} is needed to use the standart teleport.

When you first find this guy, or when you have the key and are returning to complete the quest, he's further down the road to the east than shown in both this map and on the in-game minimap.

You will find him north of the road, just above the 'CI' in the word 'Circle' on the map.

Description

I'd been scouting behind enemy lines for nearly a day when they caught me. This attack on our frontlines is not what it appears, {name}. I'll give you all the details, but first let's find a way to get me out of here. Only the overseers carry keys to these cages. From what I recall, they're in the middle of the crater, in the thick of it. See if you can get a key off of one of them.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Captured ScoutMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    I've heard about you, <name>, and the news you brought from the south. The battle has reached a stalemate. One that I fear is about to be broken by the Firelord's reawakening. That is unless we tip the scales in our favor in some way. There is a scout that was captured by the Twilight's Hammer.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to AlysraMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    I thank you for freeing me, <name>. I will tell our allies of my findings. I suggest that you return to the emerald dragon that sent you. The Twilight's Hammer does not just seek to gain territory with this particular attack. They're also after a prisoner.
