What to do
Deliver the Note from the Grand Admiral to Lord-Commander Arete at Death's Rise.
The quest giver's words
At first this note looks like any of the other intel that you've been looking for. However, a quick perusal of its contents disabuses you of this notion.
The letter conveys that Grand Admiral Westwind is present somewhere on the island, but that he is keeping himself secluded for now. He speaks of a glorious day that is coming soon in which the Scarlet Onslaught will wash over first the Lich King and then the rest of world to finally bring order to Azeroth.
The lord-commander will want to see this!
Progress
Scarlet Onslaught intel is to be delivered to Aurochs Grimbane.
<The lord-commander gives you an expectant look by way of a dismissal.>
Completion
A note written by Westwind? Why didn't you say so?
<Arete tears the letter from your hand to read it.>
The fool! He's actually here?!
<The lord-commander laughs.>
This is new information. I wonder how he imagines that he's going to conquer the world once he's taken down the Lich King? Not that he could accomplish either task in his wildest imaginings.

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 (Icecrown), 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.
- Pick up
