<The young courier gulps.>

We found him. We found the Blightcaller.

I was on patrol like I'd done a hundred times before only there he was sitting on the front porch of that old house with those terrible dogs and I swear he smirked at me and stared with those fiery red eyes and--

<The young courier wipes his brow.>

He's at the Marris Stead. Our forces have him surrounded, but, uh...

You should probably gather your friends. I don't think he plans to surrender.

Notes

This is a breadcrumb to the N [50EEWQ] Nathanos Blightcaller world quest in the Eastern Plaguelands.

A cinematic plays when Nathanos reaches 10% health, "For Teldrassil":

Nathanos laughs as he fires several arrows at his foes, his Darkhounds leaping into the fray.

Nathanos Blightcaller: Come on! Is this the best you can do?

A change in the air makes Nathanos stop. Looking to the sky, the sun is suddenly eclipsed. A familiar white owl is circling overhead. Nathanos lowers his gaze as a thick fog falls upon the Marris Stead. An arrow flies through the fog and slams into Nathanos' shoulder, sending him flying back and pinning him against the wall of his home. Nathanos hisses in pain, then chuckles darkly. He spots Tyrande Whisperwind walking through the fog, her twin blades at the ready.

Nathanos Blightcaller: Ah, now... Now it's getting interesting.

Nathanos snaps off the end of the arrow pinning him to his house, then pulls himself forward with a grunt. As he staggers, Plaguefang and Blight-Howl charge from the fog behind Tyrande. With no apparent effort, Tyrande vaporizes them both with a blast of Moonfire. As she gets close, Nathanos narrows his eyes, reaches down and picks up his twin handaxes. After a moment of locked gazes, Nathanos charges. Despite his skill, Tyrande blocks his attacks easily, and quickly overwhelms him before delivering a vicious slice across his midsection. Nathanos falls to his knees, but Tyrande holds her blade against his throat. Dori'thur flies over and lands on a nearby fencepost. Nathanos gasps, but still finds the energy to chuckle.

Nathanos Blightcaller: Your power... has grown.

Tyrande presses the blade further against his throat.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Where is she?

Nathanos Blightcaller: With him, of course. In the darkest place. Along with every soul burnt to ash in your precious tree--

Tyrande pushes her blade into his neck again, enunciating every word with a growl.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Where is she?

Nathanos Blightcaller: Go on. Kill me. You'll send me right to my lady. Beyond the veil she shattered. Oh, Tyrande! High Priestess. Night Warrior. Completely powerless to stop the com--

With a scowl, looking away from Nathanos, Tyrande thrusts the blade. Nathanos gives a single gasp before going limp and slumping to the ground. Dori'thur gazes at the display for a few moments before taking flight. Tyrande gives the corpse of Nathanos Blightcaller one last, bitter look before walking into the fog.

Tyrande Whisperwind: For Teldrassil.

On complete:

Genn Greymane says: I have faced the Blightcaller before. A pity I wasn't there to help end him. At long last, one of the architects of the Fourth War has been brought to justice.
Genn Greymane says: I envy Tyrande for landing the killing blow. Though I fear it did little to bring her peace. The power within her seems to be growing stronger. More... insistent.
Genn Greymane says: Our hunt for Sylvanas continues. We must find where she's taken Anduin, Jaina, and the others. Do not relent, champion. Bring them home.
