Description
Listen, {name}. We need to learn more about what we're up against. To the southwest, beyond the Master's Glaive, there is a group of dwarven prospectors who were excavating the nearby ruins. Perhaps they have uncovered knowledge that is useful to us in this matter.
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.

Rewards rep with Ironforge and Alliance, but believe it is part of the Darkshore storyline so keep going if you need to complete and maybe more Darnassus rep to follow.

This Alliance capital is the pride of the Dun Morogh dwarves. Home to King Magni.
