What to do
Deliver the Admiral's Commendation Letter to Lady Sylvanas Windrunner at Forsaken High Command in Silverpine Forest.
The quest giver's words
< Admiral Hatchet hands you an envelope sealed with the mark of the Horde.>
This is your commendation letter. It's the least I could do for you given the circumstances.
Return to Lady Sylvanas Windrunner with the letter and inform her of our status. Let her know that we will be ready to march on her command.
Goodbye, <name>. You are an excellent soldier.
Northeast, <lad/ma'am>. To Forsaken High Command!
Progress
And the orcs?
Completion
<Sylvanas raises an eyebrow.>
So the orcs are in order?
<Sylvanas reads the commendation letter.>
Recovered their supplies? Killed a dozen worgen? Toppled an ettin? Freed their soldiers and destroyed the Skitterweb matriarch?
I say this rarely, <name>, but I am impressed. Perhaps your ability matches your aspirations. We shall see, for now you will be tested!

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 (Silverpine Forest), 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.
