Through the Gates of Hell

Pass through the portal atop Nordune Ridge and help Malfurion secure a Foothold on the Molten Front.

• Secure a foothold in the Firelands

There will be time to mourn for Hamuul later. His is the first of many inevitable casualties in this war.... but our attack cannot wait, nor should the momentum we have gained over the last several days be wasted.

The portal atop Nordune Ridge is now open. Our reinforcements are prepared, and they await only my order to pass through the portal.

We will meet again on the other side of the portal. Once there, we shall ensure that our foothold is secure.

You will receive: Mark of the World Tree x15 and

Very well done,. We've managed to take a foothold in our enemy's realm without their notice. Our armies are moving to establish a front as we speak.

We have a long, brutal war ahead of us. It is my hope that you'll be around to help us see it through.

You will receive:

• 86750 XP (or at max level)
• +350 reputation with Guardians of Hyjal

Fly up to Nordune Ridge, where at is the Portal to the Firelands, which has finally been activated. Take it!

Malfurion and General Taldris Moonfall are tanking the Obsidian Slaglord, a level 85 elite with ~550k health remaining. Help them out, as they will not complete the fight on their own.

The slaglord has the following ability outside of basic melee:

The slaglord is fixated upon Malfurion, so unload as it is impossible to pull aggro. Occasionally an Obsidian Monstrosity will join the fight, aggroed upon the player. Kill it, then go back to the Slaglord. Malfurion also channels Tranquility on occasion, healing for roughly 40,000 health a tick.

Once the slaglord is dead, Malfurion runs off: He runs into the Sentinel Tree off to the left. Follow him and speak to him to continue.

Three dailies open up from Rayne Feathersong and General Taldris Moonfall, on either side of Malfurion's position outside the tree. Captain Irontree also offers a daily quest. Head out on those four. When returning to the breach, the phase has advanced slightly. Malfurion now also offers the opportunity to recruit the Druids of the Talon and the Shadow Wardens to the fight. Gather 150 Marks of the World Tree and it will be possible to unlock that faction's quests.

Back at the Sanctuary of Malorne, Matoclaw offers The Fate of Runetotem. Shockingly, Hamuul did not die in Leyara's attack. Additionally, another daily quest is up at the sanctuary as well.
