Description

Many in Hallowfall will call you "outsider". I would call you friend. I would also ask for your help, if you are no stranger to combat. Desperate times forge strong friendships. General Steelstrike ordered the army to fall back from the nerubian onslaught. In doing so, she abandoned a Lamplighter and many troops to the darkness. I may not be able to save them on my own, but with your help I may succeed. If you're willing, ride with me or meet me there.

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.

  • The Hallowed PathHallowfall · Level 75-78

    <name>, I'm glad our paths have crossed. Adelgonn has been telling me about a cavern called Hallowfall. She's told me the people there are called the Arathi. I cannot imagine that they are related to the ancient human kingdom, but it can't be a coincidence.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tunnel TroubleHallowfall · Level 75-78

    It's good to have new allies here. Together, we have much better chances of protecting this tower. The nerubians have overwhelmed us. If we're going to have any chance against them, we need to destroy the burrows they're using to come under the Wall.
