Description
Agents of the Forsaken uncovered an Alliance plot to establish new bases here in the Eastern Plaguelands, at abandoned towers throughout the area.
It is imperative that we not allow them to establish a significant presence on our eastern borders, and so we must stave off this Alliance incursion. Our current plans are to drive them out of any towers they may have already seized, and occupy those that we have under our control against further attacks.
Rewards
You will receive: 90
Progress
They must be fools to think that we would allow them to establish bases so close to one of our capitals.
We will bleed their numbers until they turn tail and retreat back to the south.
Completion
This is good news, <name>. It will be a constant struggle here in the Plaguelands until we have fully driven back the forces of the Alliance.
Until that day, I hope that we will have your continued assistance.
Bonus For The Factions
Each tower gives a 1% damage increase against undead to all members of the controlling faction in the Eastern Plaguelands. If one faction controls all four towers, then it gets a 5% damage increase increase.
Northpass Tower
When you control Northpass tower and click on the Shrine of Lordaeron you get a 5% health increase buff in Stratholme, Eastern Plaguelands and Scholomance.
Eastwall Tower
When you capture the Eastwall Tower ghost guards appear and ride directly north to the Northpass Tower. They will help you take the tower over.
Plaguewood Tower
When you capture the Plaguewood Tower you will have the ability to fly to any of the other towers from the Plaguewood Tower.
Crown Guard Tower
When you capture Crown Guard Tower your faction gains the use of the nearby graveyard.
