11. A Display of PowerEdit: If you're looking for the Saurfang Loyalists quest chain, please see: Righting Wrongs.
If you're thinking about not turning in the quest because you want to keep [item=167228] for future use. Forget about it. After you teleport, the item will tell you that you are not in the right zone, even if you stand close to the harbor. Making the item useless.
I was kinda hoping for a reward that could teleport you to the harbor from anywhere. But nop. :(

Description
If we wish to stay the executioner's axe, we'll need to throw Sylvanas off of our scent. You'll need to have your men take the ship to Chandlery Wharf, where they can disguise it as a pirate's bounty. Your task will be to ensure that Sylvanas' forces find the ship there. You must report to Nathanos that you spotted a stolen Forsaken vessel in that area. You have no connection to Derek Proudmoore, so it should raise no suspicions.
