Whispers from the Dark

Whispers from the Dark is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-45 in Stormheim. It is step 3 of 8 in The Secret of the Shieldmaidens storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Stormheim at 71.5, 59.8. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

We still have little knowledge of the Horde's activities in the region, but I'm hoping you can help change that.

Lately the woods have been crawling with Sylvanas' agents. The few we have taken out carried orders from her Dark Rangers, who are no doubt in command of her forces here.

While you're on the hunt, keep an eye out for any scouting orders. They may help us pinpoint Sylvanas' objective in the area.

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.

  • Combustible ContagionStormheim · Level 10-45

    It is true that we may have a lead on Sylvanas. Though I want nothing more than to get my hands on the Banshee Queen, the situation here at Greywatch requires immediate attention. Yesterday, a regiment of guards returned with word of Forsaken forces in the woods.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cut Out the HeartStormheim · Level 10-45

    This map points out the strategic locations of the Forsaken forces around Greywatch. A marker to the east indicates an apothecary camp where Dread-Riders are being supplied from.
