Chapter 1: The Survivors of Auberdine
The alliance hero arrived in Lor'danel in disarray. The Shattering destroyed Auberdine to the south and Lor'danel's residents were attempting to locate and resettle as many of its residents as possible. Dentaria Silverglade said there was one more boat unaccounted for and asked the hero to search the beach for survivors. The hero found and rescued Cerellean Whiteclaw, Gershala Nightwhisper, Shaldyn and Volcor.

The survivors made it to Lor'danel but many of them had grave wounds that were stubbornly not healing even after treatment. Serendia Oakwhisper determined that there was some kind of toxin hosted by the elementals on the shoreline that was inhibiting her healing efforts and asked the hero to cull some of the clams to develop an antidote.

Meanwhile, Wizbang Cranktoggle asked for the hero's help unraveling the corruption of the local wildlife. He sent the hero to collect samples from the local fauna for analysis by his machines and they ultimately determined that Zenn Foulhoof, a satyr that had taken up residence nearby, was the source. The hero killed Foulhoof and released the uncorrupted animals.

After recovering from his injuries, Cerellean Whiteclaw asked the hero to travel south to Bashal'Aran and destroy the spirit of his deceased lover Anaya Dawnrunner who now haunted the ruins. Before leaving, Ranger Glynda Nal'Shea also asked the hero to extinguish a memorial brazier in the ruins. The hero did both. Anaya's spirit, freed from the grips of undeath, thanked the hero and Cerellean for seeing her to the next world.

Volcor, slowly succumbing to his injuries, made the hero a final request-- to locate his friend Grimclaw, a bear. The hero found the bear in the care of Keeper Karithus and the dryad Seraphine. Karithus told the hero that Grimclaw was also gravely injured and too weak to travel. Karithus tasked the hero with humanely collecting fur, hair and whiskers from nearby animals and toadstools from the Ruins of Lornesta. to speed Grimclaw's recovery. Seraphine asked the hero to summon a number of treants to eliminate the leader of the naga poachers that hard injured Grimclaw: Lady Janira. As Grimclaw finished recuperating, Karithus and Seraphine provided the hero with a blessing that would empower them whenever they visited Darkshore.

When Grimclaw was well again he bolted towards Lor'danel to reunite with Volcor. When the hero arrived thereafter, Serendia sadly informed the hero that her efforts were not able to stop the toxin. The poison had claimed Gershalla, Shaldyn and Volcor, but Volcor died with a smile on his face after seeing Grimclaw alive and well.

Chapter 2: Ruins of Mathystra/Shatterspear Vale
Glynda then asked the hero to head north to the Ruins of Mathystra and rendesvous with Lieutenant Morra Starbreeze. The nearby Shatterspear tribe of trolls had recently begun attacking night elf scouts and the Sentinels needed a hand pushing them back. While Morra worked on her counterattack plans, the hero thinned the troll labor force, recovered some of the Highborne artifacts the trolls were trying to extract from the site , destroyed the trolls' reserve supplies and killed their Horde allies
