The only thing I hate about this quest is that you don't have enough time to loot the corpse before the Val'kyr changes the dead Alliance Laborer's corpse into an undead. I even had auto loot on and still couldn't target a corpse and my character got stuck in an awkward position after trying to loot a corpse.

Description

Derrington and his men don't know it, but it was I who ordered the plaguing of Felstone Field. We need this area for practice. If we're to win this war for Andorhal, we need to use our newest, most versatile weapon: Val'kyr. Take my enthralled val'kyr with you, {name}, and kill the simpering Alliance scum that remain on Felstone. Once they are dead, she will bring them back to this world... as one of us. The Forsaken shall not die out!

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Strange New FacesWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Now that Felstone is ours, we can use its acreage - and any dead bodies we find - for our own purposes. I've received orders from higher up that you are going to be helping out in this process. You may have met Lindsay Ravensun on the battlefield in Andorhal.

    A val'kyr's only purpose is to serve, and this one serves you. I am now giving you full control over her abilities, <name>. Roaming around the farm's outskirts, you should find several of the Forsaken that you just created. I want you to use your val'kyr to gather at least five of them.
