War is Hell

War is Hell is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Howling Fjord. It is step 39 of 162 in the Howling Fjord storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Howling Fjord at 78.7, 31.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

We're slowly finishing off the remnants of Stormwind's North Fleet stationed on this coast. The bodies to the west are a testament to how brutal this confrontation has been.

This does not happen to bother my refined aesthetics, but it does present a danger to our lives.

In the lands of the Lich King, the dead are a weapon that can rise against us at any point in time. Take this torch - you're going to make sure that doesn't happen.
