The scourge's best weapon here in Andorhal can be found in those lumbering brutes that are throwing my deathguards around like ragdolls.

Oh, ho ho, but I believe you are mistaken, miss 'Ravensun'. These Deathguards belong to Sylvanas.

Description

You fools will never defeat the Scourge with those abominations running around. Koltira blathers on about reducing their numbers, but the Scourge's best weapon here in Andorhal can be found in those lumbering brutes that are throwing my deathguards around like ragdolls. I won't have it. {name}, enter the battlefield and destroy those monsters.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scourge First... Alliance LaterWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Darkmaster Gandling of the Cult of the Damned leads the Scourge offensive here in Andorhal. My old counterpart, Thassarian, leads the Alliance forces. If we're to win Andorhal, we'll have to defeat both, but we will certainly fail if we take on both at once.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Endless FlowWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Araj the Summoner is bolstering the Scourge defenses with simple skeletons... an army of weaklings that will overwhelm you before it overpowers you. He has assembled animi within Andorhal's northern towers that spew these skeletons out at an alarming rate. But I've got the solution!
