Part of the Horde questline for the Wrath Gate event. This quest line is very long and spans the entire length of Dragonblight. Quite honestly, I consider this one of the most important quest lines (thus far) in Wrath. A must-do for any hordeling. :)

In quite a few of these chains there are optional prequests. I will not list these, despite them being in the quest series list, because they are just that: Optional. I will list the LATEST quest available that will start the chain, or the one most likely to pick up while completing other parts of this chain.

Additionally, these quests are Horde Only. I, unfortunately, do not have an Alliance character on the Beta, so I do not have access to any alliance quests. Sorry!

Step names are purely flavor. They generalize what that part of the chain leads up to/is about.

I highly urge everyone to read the quest text. This quest line is quite possibly one of the most epic in Warcraft history and is highly worth the time. Lore lovers and haters alike should enjoy them.

I dunno, I went back and did every quest Redwoodelf recommended, and I still can't pick up this quest at level 73!

Apparently it's necessary to do a few minor quests in the refugee camp until you get the quest Angmar's Hammer. After that I was able to pick up Victory Nears.

Description

There remain only two primary threats that stand in our way. One is the dread citadel of Naxxramas, far to the east, above the Alliance fortress of Wintergarde and the other is the Pit of Narjun, exit point for the undead armies of Azjol'Nerub. It is from the Pit of Narjun that the Anub'ar Nerubians assaulted and ultimately razed the taunka village of Icemist. We will destroy the Anub'ar and close off the Pit of Narjun. Report to Senior Sergeant Juktok for your mission orders.

    The Moonrest Gardens to the southwest were the final resting place of a group of Highborne elves. It was also a ley line nexus. The blue dragonflight used a magical device they call a surge needle to destroy that nexus, freeing the power to redirect at their will.
