Description

When the Hal'hadar attacked, we quickly learned about their history with the Army of the Light. Commander Tala'saan has been providing us information on these ethereals. His soldiers stand ready to join our cause. I've requested their expertise in establishing a forward camp for our mission. Aid them in their preparations and inform the commander we mobilize soon.

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.

  • Stalkers of the StarsLevel 80-90

    With the help of Belath Dawnblade and Decimus, we've learned our enemies orchestrate their attacks from former Legion worlds. I've requested the demon hunter's aid in navigating these worlds and fortifying our defenses. Seek them out and lend them any assistance they need.

  • To the Voidstorm and Beyond!Level 80-90

    It may not seem like many, but the allies we've secured will have to be enough. It's time we move out. Our forces are gathering at the Howling Ridge. The energies of the Voidstorm will allow us to open the way to these worlds. I will meet you there.
