Into the Breach!

“Ready yourself, Warrior. I’m dispatching you to Light’s Breach, northeast of here. I’ve received word that the Scourge are making a push to take over Zul’Drak.

<Valus stares you dead in the eyes.>

This will not come to pass. See to it that you assist in the destruction of the Scourge there. The light demands it.

Dismissed.”

-Crusader Valus

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Crusader Valus — Light’s Trust, Dragonblight [84, 27]

Objective: Report to Sergeant Riannah at Light’s Breach in Zul’Drak.

 

Quick Facts

  • Quest Type: Breadcrumb (to Zul’Drak)
  • Quest Zone: Classified as Zul’Drak (not Dragonblight)
  • Faction: Both Horde and Alliance
  • Prerequisites: The Cleansing Of Jintha’kalar
  • Exclusive With: Reallocating Resources (from Grizzly Hills) and Shifting Priorities (also from Grizzly Hills). Only one of these three breadcrumbs to Light’s Breach can be completed.

 

Walkthrough

After completing The Cleansing Of Jintha’kalar, Crusader Valus dispatches you northeast into Zul’Drak.

Light’s Breach is a small Argent Crusade encampment located north of Drak’Tharon Keep, at approximately [31.9, 75.1] in Zul’Drak. Head up the stairs from Jintha’kalar into Zul’Drak and continue northeast to reach the camp.

Speak with Sergeant Riannah to complete the quest.

 

Efficiency Tips

  • If you haven’t discovered the Light’s Breach flight path yet, be sure to grab it when you arrive. It serves as the southwestern flight point for Zul’Drak.
  • This quest is exclusive with two other breadcrumbs from Grizzly Hills. If you’ve already completed one of those, Into the Breach! will be unavailable. This doesn’t block you from questing at Light’s Breach; it just means you miss the breadcrumb XP.

 

Lore Context

Valus’s briefing underscores the urgency of the Argent Crusade’s campaign: “I’ve received word that the Scourge are making a push to take over Zul’Drak. This will not come to pass.”

Light’s Breach is the smaller of two Argent Crusade bases in Zul’Drak (the larger being Argent Stand further north). Riannah’s forces are isolated between the Scourge and the hostile Drakkari trolls, setting the stage for the zone’s main storylines.

From Light’s Breach, the Argent Crusade works alongside the unlikely allies of the Knights of the Ebon Blade at nearby Ebon Watch and eventually the Zandalari trolls at Zim’Torga, all trying to stop the Drakkari from destroying their own Loa gods in a desperate bid against the Scourge.

“Ready yourself, warrior. I’m dispatching you to Light’s Breach, northeast of here,” Valus said. “I’ve received word that the Scourge are making a push to take over Zul’Drak.”

He stared me dead in the eyes.

“This will not come to pass. See to it that you assist in the destruction of the Scourge there. The light demands it. Dismissed.”

The climb into Zul’Drak was a gradual thing. Troll architecture loomed larger with each step, ziggurats half-visible through the mist. The empire that had stood for millennia, now crumbling under a war it hadn’t started.

Light’s Breach was exactly what it sounded like: a fortified wedge driven into Scourge territory. Argent banners snapped in the wind and soldiers manned barricades that looked recently built and recently tested.

Sergeant Riannah looked up from a map as I approached.

“Excellent. Valus must have received my report.” She rolled the map and tucked it under her arm. “Let’s get to work, night elf.”

 

The breach was made and the Scourge were pouring through it faster than anybody could plug the hole, which means somebody upstairs is Reallocating Resources and it is not going to be enough.
