Notes

Clessington and Duncon.

During this quest, Vanessa appears with the generic name Defias Thief. During combats, she also grants Weight of a Feather and Alchemical Vial buffs.

Entering Moonbrook

Vanessa VanCleef says: Ah, the smell of straw and cow dung... this place brings back a lot of memories.

Vanessa VanCleef says: It's probably been a while for you too, huh? But then again, have you ever seen this place through the eyes of a Defias?

Entering the Defias Hideout

Vanessa VanCleef says: When my father led the Brotherhood, he followed a path of banditry and vengeance. I lead them in order to overthrow a corrupt government that abandoned us.

Vanessa VanCleef says: At least, I thought I did. But I followed the same path. I let the people of Westfall down.

Walking down the stairs

Vanessa VanCleef says: During the Legion invasion, we fought for something greater. The old king died, and it became hard to carry on old grudges.

Entering the mine

Vanessa VanCleef says: Anduin offered pardons and reparations for former Stonemasons and their families. I lost almost all of my best people that day.

Further in

Vanessa VanCleef says: The ones that remained in the Defias were the rowdy ones. The angry ones. The ones that enjoyed robbing anything in sight.

Taking a wrong turn

Vanessa VanCleef says: Ugh, I think we took a wrong turn. I've always hated what a maze this place is.

Further still

Vanessa VanCleef says: I'm also angry. I'll never forget my father's death. But in my own attempt at revolution, I hurt the people of Westfall. Like Stormwind did. Like Onyxia did.

Finally, Count Clessington is found with Duncon Ratsbon in front of a crowd of Defias Thieves.

Duncon Ratsbon yells: No reparation is enough! The Stonemasons deserve every coin in every coffer of Stormwind city! Clessington will lead us there!

Vanessa VanCleef says: Duncon?! You weren't even a Stonemason! You joined to be a thief!

Duncon Ratsbon says: So you finally show yourself, VanCleef. And with a Stormwind dog in tow! See, Defias? See how she will make us all lapdogs of Stormwind?!

Count Clessington yells: We muster in Northshire! Join us, and we march on Stormwind! For the Defias!

Vanessa VanCleef says: The amulet!

Count Clessington charges the powers of the amulet and opens a portal to Northshire Valley.

The present thieves all run through the portal.

Defias Thief says: For the Defias! (11x)
