Frostfire Ridge storyline

The Frostfire Ridge storyline is the Horde starting experience in Frostfire Ridge after getting through Warlords of Draenor intro experience. Here, players quickly set up their Garrison at Frostwall in the south-center portion of the zone, then work to help shore up the Frostwolf clan's defenses.

The progression of the storyline is tracked in the achievement You'll Get Caught Up In The... Frostfire!

In addition to the overarching zone storyline, a huge number of vignettes can also be found all over Frostfire Ridge. These vignettes are one-time events: killing rare or rare-elite mobs, finding out-of-the-way treasure chests, or small events like fending off waves of attackers.

After landing in Frostfire, players need to get settled, and quickly set up their Garrison at Frostwall. This portion of the quest chain serves as an introduction and tutorial to the garrison system.

Farseer Drek'Thar continues the quest chain outside with Den of Wolves.

Drek'Thar sends players to Wor'gol to begin the siege of Bladespire Citadel, outpost of the ogre empire.

Once taken, Durotan sees to the defense of Wor'gol, starting with Moving In (Frostfire Ridge).

After claiming Bladespire Citadel, and some loot from the sack of the citadel, the news comes that Wor'gol is under attack by the ! Along the way are several side quest chains.

After repelling the invasion and delivering Drek'Thar's vision to Durotan back at the Citadel, he forks the storyline, beginning both the "Ga'nar's Vengeance" and "Thunder's Fall" chapters.

Once "Ga'nar's Vengance" and "Thunder's Fall" chapters are both completed, the Thunderlord Clan will launch an invasion (Thunderlord Invasion!) on the Garrison. When this is repelled, the chain continues with The Battle of Thunder Pass.

All of these side quests are optional to the main zone storyline, but reward plenty of gold, faction standing, and maybe a follower or two:

Rokhan at the garrison has ordered a small camp set up on the Cracking Plains to the north to gather some supplies. It's up to the commander to actually do the gruntwork, though.

After winning the Battle of Thunder Pass, a short quest chain takes place at the Bones of Agurak, south of the Iron Siegeworks.

During both "Ga'nar's Vengance" and "Thunder's Fall" chapters, you can run into an ogre in the cage called Dagg. Releasing him from the cage in both cases causes him to appear in your garrison, where he joins as a follower. This can be done as both Horde and Alliance.
