Borean Tundra (Alliance Quest Guide)  

Borean Tundra is one of the two "starter zones" for Northrend. It contains a wide variety of areas, including the completely separated region of Coldarra where The Nexus is located. This guide is focused on Alliance questing. For Horde quests, see Borean Tundra.

Valiance Keep

• Enlistment Day - From the docks, the recruiters will send you to General Arlos. Valiance Keep is split into a north and south half, with a boat dividing the two. You begin in the north and the barracks are in the south. Arlos is in the main command center.
• A Time For Heroes - Arlos sends you to Sergeant Hammerhill near the exit to town. (There are technically two exits to town, but the more obvious one outside the barracks is where Hammerhill is.)
• The Siege - Kill 6 Crypt Crawlers on the Sands of Nasam outside of town.
• Death From Above - Kill Scourged Flamespitters just outside of town on the Sands of Nasam. Throw nets at the mobs if you can't kill them from range. Leads to Plug the Sinkholes.

• A Soldier in Need - Board the Stormbreaker (the boat in the center of town) and grab the supplies from below deck.
• Cultists Among Us - Begins from the ring of candles on the lower deck of the Stormbreaker, and suggests you talk to the captain by the wheel.
• Notify Arlos - This quest also sends you back to General Arlos.

The Riplash Strand

Completing the preceding quests will unlock Enemies of the Light and A Diplomatic Mission. It is not known if these prerequisites are reputation-based or quest-based, but the two quests are available in the command room of the barracks.

• Enemies of the Light - Leave town by the western exit and travel north toward Farshire. There are several summoning circles around the outskirts of town where cultists summon ghouls. Kill them until they drop the communique.
• Plug the Sinkholes (requires Death From Above) - On the ridges above the beach head, there are two large holes in the ground. One is to the north near Farshire, and one to the south. Use your explosives in each.
• A Diplomatic Mission - This quest from the barracks asks you to speak to Karuk by Riplash Strand in the southwest.
• Karuk's Oath - Kill some of the ghosts on the beaches to the south.
• Gamel the Cruel - Slay Gamel the Cruel in his cave on the Riplash Strand.
• A Father's Words - Speak with Veehja at the Shrine of Scales.
• The Trident of Naz'jan - Enter the Riplash Ruins on the southern islands, travel to the northeast corner of them, and slay Ragnar Drakkarlund.
• The Emissary - Spear Leviroth in the waters off the northern coast of the ruins, and finish him off. Return to Karuk when completed.

Farshire

Before leaving town:

• Further Investigation (requires Enemies of the Light) will ask you to locate Vindicator Yaala on the upper stories of the inn.
• The Hunt is On will give you an item that reveals the shadowy nature of cultists-in-hiding. Approach Tom Hegger on the docks, Guard Mitchells in the barracks basement, and "Salty" Jon Thorpe in the inn's kitchen, and kill them.
• Word on the Street will have you speak to Leryssa on the inn balcony. She will want you to find her brother Thassarian.
