Quest text
The defenders on The Bulwark protecting Tirisfal from the Plaguelands are on constant alert. But sometimes Scourge will slip past them.
Our success at the Bulwark depends on a one-front battle - we cannot allow an attack from the rear, nor can we allow our defenders' supply line to be cut.
Assist the Bulwark. Patrol east and slay any Scourge you find. Spend particular effort at the Balnir Farmstead to the east. It has become a haven for interloping Scourge.
Completion
Very good. Your efforts do much to keep the Scourge at bay. A commendation will be sent to my superior, Executor Zygand.
