Description

You are now, and forever will be, a Knight of the Ebon Blade, {name}, but know this: you were once a hero of the Alliance. <Darion stares at you.> This order must establish allies for itself if it is to survive. You must represent the Knights of the Ebon Blade to the Alliance. On the platform, southeast of me, is a portal to Stormwind City. Take this letter, given to me on your behalf by Lord Fordring, and deliver it to King Anduin Wrynn. Use the portal.

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.
