Quest text

Be silent and pay attention, your class.

I was sent to this position in order to survey the town of Hillsbrad. My mission is one of reconnaissance. It is imperative that you send word to High Executor Darthalia in Tarren Mill at once. Let her know that I, Deathstalker Lesh, send the following message:

"The raven's cry from the west doth beckon."

Follow the road to the east and pay close attention to the signs. Now, hurry! Off you go to Tarren Mill, and with urgency I might add!

Completion

The raven's cry from the west doth beckon?

Superb news! Hillsbrad is ripe for attack. We can carry out our plan of destruction now. Varimathras will be pleased.
