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.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Report to Scout Knowles
<name>, now that those damnable proto-creatures have been dealt with, I've another task for you. One of my scouts has reported back some suspicious activity by the Forsaken to the south. It looks like they're up to no good at the vrykul village known as Halgrind.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reports from the Field
Our mission in Northrend is to destroy Arthas. The Alliance are but an obstacle that we'll crush wherever we find them. We've managed to destroy their easternmost fleet; but the survivors have barricaded themselves on the Derelict Strand, south of here.
