Objectives

Speak with Joanna Blueheart at Marshtide Watch.

Description

Regardless of whether you assist me within the temple, your people must be told of what is brewing here.

North of the temple, humans of your mortal Alliance have built what they call Marshtide Watch. They war with the Horde across the swamp, a raging conflict that I foresee only worsening.

It is not my role to interfere in mortal affairs, <name>. I simply ask you bring warning to your people of what lurks within the temple.

Rewards

You will receive: 40

Completion

Trouble within the temple... I wish we could spare forces to deal with it. The war with Stonard is already raging, and we need every man we can get.

Notes

Exit the temple and swim north to reach Marshtide Watch.

Joanna Blueheart has some interesting gossip text:

This land is where orcs and humans first spilled each other's blood. Not a mile south lies Stonard, where the orcs first grouped to invade our lands.

It was here they amassed their armies before we even knew they existed. It was here that they started the first of three wars with their attack on a small Alliance town to the west.

My town. The town where my parents died to save me.

But I'm not here to settle a grudge... I'm here to win a war.
