What Secrets Men Hide

What Secrets Men Hide is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Dragonblight. It is step 118 of 149 in the Dragonblight storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dragonblight at 79.2, 47.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

After the betrayal at the Forgotten Shore, Prince Arthas - with Muradin in tow - began his quest for Frostmourne. Could the location of the cavern where Frostmourne was found be near? What secrets could it hold? While the orb has no answers for these questions, it does show me something.

To the northeast of Wintergarde Keep is an outpost built by the Scarlet Onslaught. Somewhere within that outpost is a map. The orb tells me that this map will be of great use to us.

Retrieve it!

There are numerous mods that offer co-ordinates either as part of a bigger mod (like Titan Bars for example) or are very small mods like Simple MiniMap Coords which just adds the co-ords to your minimap screen. You don't need a "ton and a half" of addons - something that simply plots your x,y co-ords is not going to interfere with your gaming. Any arguments about mods being "cheats" or whatever are null and void given you are on this site looking for the location. You could even simply read the quest tex

    They have labeled the cave as Frostmourne Cavern. Why the Scarlet Onslaught is interested in such things is unknown, but by the look of things, the area surrounding the cave is heavily guarded. Nonetheless, we must proceed!
