Unfamiliar Waters

Unfamiliar Waters is a Horde-only quest for level 30-35 in Orgrimmar. It is step 53 of 236 in the Twilight Highlands storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Orgrimmar at 47.9, 71.0. It rewards 3 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

The Warchief has designs to launch an all-out assault on the Twilight Highlands. Once there we hope to ally with the Dragonmaw orcs.

Through my own sources I've discovered that a Dragonmaw orc resides here, in Orgrimmar. He is known as Herezegor Flametusk, and once he commanded legions of their warriors.

His insider knowledge is precious to us. Find Flametusk and obtain for us a chart of the Twilight Highlands waterways.

Last I hear, Flametusk was washed up at a bar in the Valley of Honor...

Herezegor Flametusk is located under the stairs to the right when you walk into the Wyvern's Tail Inn in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar.

As you enter the inn, "You sense that you are being followed."

When you speak to him, you will get jumped by 3 - Twilight Nightblade

Kill them and speak to Herezegor again to collect the quest item.

  • Weapons of Mass DysfunctionOrgrimmar · Level 30-35

    <Glibbs mops sweat from his brow with a greasy handkerchief.> Saurfang isn't happy with our work? This is very bad. My boys need to step it up. Maybe you can help set an example. A set of Hellscream Demolishers just rolled off the blocks and are ready for inspection.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where Is My Warfleet?Orgrimmar · Level 30-35

    The Highlands are the home of the Dragonmaw orcs. If we show them our might they would ally with us against the Twilight's Hammer. I am certain! The fleet is gathering at Bilgewater Port in Azshara but there are reports of delays.
