Taking a Stand

Quest 1 of 2 in the Argent Stand Chain
Both Factions • Zul'Drak • Level 75 • Ebon Watch
Travel to the Argent Stand and speak with Commander Falstaav.
Bloodrose Datura at Ebon Watch [14, 74] spots a signal flare from the Argent Crusade and sends you east to Commander Falstaav at the Argent Stand [39, 67]. This breadcrumb unlocks after completing Kickin' Nass and Takin' Manes at Ebon Watch. If you've already reached the Argent Stand through another path, this quest won't be available.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Vikstone followed a signal flare east and found the Argent Crusade holding ground. Commander Falstaav had a job ready before Vikstone finished walking through the gates.

“A few moments ago I spotted a signal flare over the treeline to the east. That can only mean that things are not going smoothly for the Crusaders at Argent Stand. I cannot leave our post here, Night Elf, but you can. When time permits, make your way up to Commander Falstaav and see if there’s anything you can do to lighten their burden.”

The Argent Stand held crusaders holding a line against Zul’Drak’s horrors while the Ebon Blade played shadow games with Drakuru.

Commander Falstaav met me at the gates.

“As it happens, there is something you can do to be of assistance.”

 

Falstaav’s briefing was short. The Argent Stand was under attack, and Vikstone had just volunteered to Defend the Stand
