Efficiency Tips
Lore Context
The Argent Crusade is actively recruiting adventurers of both factions to unite against the Lich King. This quest introduces Light’s Trust as a forward operating base at the edge of Drakkari territory.
Crusader Valus’s completion text establishes the dire situation: the Drakkari troll empire, which had remained isolated for thousands of years, has been devastated by the Scourge.
Drak’Tharon Keep lies in ruin, and the entire first tier of Zul’Drak has been destroyed. This sets the stage for questing in both the Light’s Trust hub and eventually Zul’Drak itself.

Vikstone's War Journal“Warrior!” Tilda Darathan’s voice cut through the noise of Wintergarde. “The Argent Crusade is looking for able bodied soldiers that are willing to set aside their differences and join forces to battle the forces of the Lich King. Will you take up our cause?”
Former Silver Hand and Argent Dawn, merged into something new, something that didn’t care whether you were Alliance or Horde. Only whether you could fight.
“Should you be interested, venture north to Light’s Trust and speak with Crusader Valus. You will find Light’s Trust amidst the ruins of the sacked troll city of Jintha’kalar, bordering Zul’Drak.”
Jintha’kalar was a troll city, destroyed, and the crusaders had made their camp in its corpse.
The journey north took me through landscapes I’d bled across, past graveyards I’d helped fill. Light’s Trust occupied the bones of Jintha’kalar, Argent banners snapping in the cold wind where troll totems had once stood.
Crusader Valus met me at the camp’s edge.
“Mere footsteps from here lies the Drakkari empire,” he said. “For thousands of years the Drakkari remained isolated, preferring to keep within the boundaries of their sprawling temple cities and ziggurats. It was surprising then, to come upon this wreckage. Further up, beyond the foreboding stairs leading into Zul’Drak, Drak’Tharon Keep lies in ruin. The entire first tier of Zul’Drak, destroyed…”
He trailed off. Whatever had broken the Drakkari, whatever had shattered an empire that had stood for millennia, it was still out there. The Argent Crusade was marching toward it.
Valus pointed east at the ruins of a troll empire and the stairs leading up into Zul’Drak, because the Scourge had already been there and the proof of it is The Cleansing of Jintha’kalar.
