The subject of this article or section took place during the War of the Thorns, the Battle for Azeroth pre-launch event.

Objectives

Find Saurfang in the Northern Barrens.

Description

Silithus. That has been the name of the game... or rather, that is what I wanted the Alliance to believe.

Make no mistake, Azerite is just as powerful as it is rumored to be but I have bigger plans in mind.

High Overlord Saurfang is leading an army towards Silithus. By now, he should be in the Northern Barrens. I want you to intercept him and notify him that the preparations are complete.

Preparations for what, you ask? Why, we are going to capture the World Tree.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 1 94
• 1,650 XP
• +10 reputation with Horde

Completion

I have been awaiting your arrival, <name>

Notes

Sylvanas' gossip

You would ask a question of me, <name>?

 Warchief, may I ask why we want to capture Teldrassil?

Time is not a luxury we possess, but I respect your desire to know more.

<Sylvanas points to Silithus on the map.>

THIS has forever altered the balance of power in Azeroth.

Deposits of Azerite are being located across the world, <name>. Though we do not yet understand its full potential, it is clear that this substance has vast destructive capability.

What will war look like in twenty years? In a hundred?

How can the Horde hope to defend its borders if the Alliance controls the flow of Azerite?

 It is uncertain, Warchief.

What IS certain is that the Alliance will use Darnassus as a safe harbor for funneling Azerite into the Eastern Kingdoms. Anduin Wrynn will build powerful new weapons, and sooner or later he will turn them upon our homelands. First he will strike at the Undercity and Silvermoon, then his gaze will fall upon Kalimdor.

For the sake of the Horde's future, we must be the first to act.

By occupying Darnassus, we will control the flow of Azerite and ensure it cannot be used against us. The Alliance will dare not attack its own city for fear of harming civilians.

With a single stroke, we will guarantee generations of peace.

 The night elves will fight us at every step.

The kaldorei will defy our occupation... unless we break their spirits.

We must inflict a blow that will show them what is at stake. They need to lose something... someone... in whom they have absolute trust and faith. A symbol of hope.

<The Dark Lady narrows her eyes.>

Malfurion Stormrage must die.

The quest does not provide a shortcut to get to Saurfang, so get to Orgrimmar or Ratchet by any easily-accessible means, then head west to the Gold Road, just north of the Crossroads in Northern Barrens to find Varok Saurfang and a huge war party composed of Orgrimmar Grunts, Kodo Beast Riders, and Demolishers.

If you have completed the quest chain up through  [110] A Looming Threat on another character, you can choose to skip that same portion on your alts and begin doing the Darkshore world quests.

Saurfang

 I've heard this tale before... <Skip the scenario and begin your next mission.>
