What to do
Bring the Defias Docket to Elling Trias in Stormwind.
The quest giver's words
Whoa, this looks way too complex to be something to just lead you astray. I shouldn't even be looking at this stuff. Take it to Trias--he'll be able to make sense of it. And DON'T let anyone get in your way. This is bigger than me. It might even be bigger than him, but we'll see.
And do me a favor, <name>, don't tell anyone I helped you. If my superiors found out I knew about any of this and didn't share it with them they'd probably hang me.
Progress
I see you're back, and in one piece. We both know you're not here for cheese, so let's cut out the pleasantries. Was Backus any help, or have you even left for Duskwood yet?
Completion
Yeah... this is an interesting read. Jorgen and DeLavey were smart to bring me in on this.
Seems the Defias have been trying pretty hard to complete this plan of theirs. Hmm... what's this? "Fist"? That's a familiar name.
Category: Stormwind City.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Duskwood), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
