What to do
Speak to Elementalist Ortell at Darkwhisper Pass.
The quest giver's words
Only once has there been a leader capable of commanding demigods and mortals alike.
His name was Jarod Shadowsong and his ability to lead in battle was such that Cenarius and the other ancients placed themselves under his command.
He disappeared for years and his whereabouts were unknown. Until now.
He is being held captive inside a Twilight camp in Darkwhisper Gorge.
Your job is to infiltrate their ranks and free Jarod. Speak to the one known as Ortell at Darkwhisper Pass to the southeast.
Completion
Hey there. I'm glad to see they sent someone of your caliber for this operation.
This here's going to call for some subtlety. We can't risk Commander Shadowsong getting killed.

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 (Mount Hyjal), 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.
