Description
Master Mathias Shaw is the leader of the Alliance intelligence organization known as SI:7. And apparently, he is now a dreadlord. Or rather, a very clever dreadlord has taken his place while he is being held captive somewhere. It is imperative that we reveal this imposter to the new king of Stormwind. If we fail to do so, then the Alliance will surely be eaten alive from within and the Burning Legion will win this war for a certainty.

Where this quest fits
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pruning the Garden
In a very real sense, the Uncrowned are gardeners. We snip and trim here and there. One clipping of a single branch may seem nonsensical until you step back and look at the garden as a whole. On the greater theater of the Broken Isles, we must act decisively.
