The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
Olum's sacrifice was tremendous. I would never have asked him to give up his life myself. But it is done.
If we're to lure Illidan back into a false sense of security, we need to do his bidding - at least for now.
I command a vast army of Ashtongue, but - aside from the Deathsworn - none can be trusted.
You are to perform the deed that Illidan demands. Take this cowl; it is magical in nature. You will appear to be one of my men to any who see you slaying Kael's phoenix, Al'ar.
Progress
Is the deed done, <name>? Illidan is not a patient master!
Completion
You've done well, <name>. This will bring us a step closer to shifting Illidan's focus away from us and from...
More work remains to be done, <name>.

Relevant locations
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

Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Shadowmoon Valley), 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.
