Description

My people know many secrets about this place. If you prove yourselves worthy allies, you will be privy to them. First, we must regroup in Mezzamere. There, we at least have a foothold against the tide.

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.

  • Up Against ItNazjatar · Level 50

    We must move quickly if we are to find safety for our people. This cave is barely defensible, and much of our army is in an even more precarious position. Let's search deeper.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Way HomeNazjatar · Level 50

    We are only alive thanks to the ankoan and Azshara's desire to toy with us. We will learn more of Okani's people in the times ahead, I am sure. For now, we must establish a portal home.
