Description

We have stopped the Devouring Host's initial attack. This battle will not be won if we go on the defensive, not even to safeguard the innocents of Quel'Danas. Focus on culling the Voidfront. Without their invading force, the Devouring Host cannot maintain a foothold! We will rally at Sunstrider Rise when ready.

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.

  • My SonIsle of Quel'Danas · Level 80

    One moment, <name>. I have a personal matter. I would like you to find my son, Arator. He is a member of the Silver Hand, an accomplished paladin. I know he must have been called. His faith is strong. The Light would want him here fighting against Xal'atath.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Hour of NeedIsle of Quel'Danas · Level 80

    Turalyon is thinking like a battlefield captain and not like a leader! My people, the sin'dorei, have suffered much in these past few wars. How many must die in the name of his victory? Please, <name>. Rescue any citizens you can and help guide them safely to the boats at the Silver Landing.
