Patch 8.1 - The Fate of Saurfang Quest Chain
The quest chain that continues Saurfang's story is available in Patch 8.1. Spoilers ahead!

  • The Dark Lady Calls and The High Overlord - Dark Ranger Alina on the docks of Dazar'alor has you go see Sylvanas in Orgrimmar. She sends you to Elwynn Forest to meet with one of her rangers as reports have surfaced that Saurfang has escaped custody.
  • A Way Out, On Track, and Eastern Escape - You meet Dark Ranger Lyana outside Stormwind and investigate the area for signs of where Saurfang went. Following tracks and a recently used lock points to an escape through the sewer.
  • Corner Crossing, Signs of Saurfang, Ever Eastward, and Tracking Tipoff - The search leads you to Redridge Mountain where you disguise yourselves as humans and question the local guards and townsfolk. After taking out a giant spider that Saurfang had injured, you question Hunter Mcalister, but kill him when his dogs identify you.
  • Grim Tidings, A Warrior's Death, and Queen's Favor - Lyana leaves to report to Sylvanas and Zekhan appears, revealing that Saurfang is hiding in the Swamp of Sorrows. You arrive as the Dark Rangers prepare to capture or kill him and help defend Saurfang. Afterwards, he wants you and Zekhan to remain in the Warchief's favor and bruises you as a ploy to convince her that you didn't help. He then runs off after saying you will see him again. You return to Sylvanas who is irritated, but insists he will be found.
  • Completing this quest chain rewards you with Worn Cloak.



Alternative Choice
When you reach the point in the quest chain where you talk to Zekhan, you can choose to side with Sylvanas instead of continuing the quest and helping Saurfang. If you choose this, several things happen:

  • You receive the quest For the Queen and head straight to Sylvanas instead of continuing the quest and helping Saurfang.
  • A message tells you that you will not receive the Worn Cloak, will start an alternate quest, and Zekhan will remember your choice.

    you make no sense, she is a suicidal and maniac, if you don't member she already did once, she is dooming the horde

    there is nothing wrong in defy someone who should not be warchief, do not embodied what a warchief is, don't give a flying fuck about the horde and was put there by intervention of an unknown evil entity
    But she is the Warchief, and we must follow her, thats how an horde works, unless she privileges her own race over the others like Garrosh did, then we can.kick her out. But until now, she has done nothing wrong. Every single action of Sylvanas has been done to advance our faction goals since day one, (eliminating the alliance), and she has been a better Warchief than Thrall.

    The real problem here, is the big amount of sjw that do not understands whats is The Horde, and confuses real life political values with the azerothian ones, and well... the bad writting that caracterizes WOW since vanilla.

    thats bullshit, the whole post, or you follow the warchief or you don't follow, if you are putting "unless" then the whole thing is not true in the first place, and you can use others unless every time you want, you do not decide what are the exceptions, and before the rebellion Garrosh never privileges his race over others, he always privileged loyalty, something the others barely had.

    nothing wrong? advance our faction goals? thats even more bullshit, she did wrong, she commit a genocide, she kill her own soldiers, she resurrect then as mindless zombies, she kill her forsaken loyalists because they had hope, she blackmail Baine, etc, she again, she don't give a flying fuck about the horde, she start a war in the worst moment when we were exhausted and without resources because the war against the legion, nothing for horde goals but her own goals alone, who we don't know about, she is just using the horde as meat shield and tools and would sacrifice it any day

    not really, the real problem are the edgelords undeads and elves fans who blindly follow their waifu, and think everyone who think different is just an alliance loyalist or peace lover

    if they understand what the horde is, they would not follow her, she is exactly against, what the horde stand for and was created since warcraft 3, not real horde political values, horde values

    The horde exist as an political entity since Warcraft I, and the values of the horde created by Thrall (in year 20) dissapeared when he put Garrosh in charge (in year 28).

    8 Years of Thralls rule didnt created the horde, in fact, only weakened it, the Horde was created even before the crossing of the Dark Portal (compare 33+ years of history to 8). Being a sjw do not make you right, it makes you look ridiculous because trying to bring rl post-modern politics is what makes bad writing, and thats the principal problem with Warcraft these days.

    And your entire post is a sjw rant about modern values, genocide is a modern term, heck, the Romans are considered a great people and they wiped out entire cultures and civilizations to create their pax romana. With Sylvanas we are creating our own order, and after this war, if she wins, we will have true peace.

    But as you are a SJW, Blizzards writers are too. So we will have something like "Azeroth is free!!11!" at the end anyways. SJWs cannot into writing. Imagine Tolkien or Martin being sjws, lol, their books would suck.

    And im dont even a Sylvanas fan. I like the OLD HORDE, you know, burning Stormwind, dealing with demons, killing humans for fun, the old good stuff, before all this sjw nonsense. I do not want the horde being like the alliance, boring and plain, i want the Horde being the Horde, and Sylvanas have done a better work being a warchief that SORRY-FOR-BEING-AN-ORC-I-WILL-STARVE-MY-OWN-PEOPLE-THRALL, or the two clowns that came after him.

    the horde created by thrall is another political entity

    8 Years of Thralls rule didnt created the horde,
    except it did

    in fact, only weakened it
    not rly, since this horde is way more sucesfull

    the Horde was created even before the crossing of the Dark Portal (compare 33+ years of history to 8).
    this was the first horde, 2 different things with the same name

    Being a sjw do not make you right, it makes you look ridiculous because trying to bring rl post-modern politics is what makes bad writing, and thats the principal problem with Warcraft these days.
    the heck is wrong with you and your fetish with sjw? nothing i talked about is sjw or post mordern politcs, are you even for real? im tallking about horde values, honor, loyalty, brotherhood, shamanism

    And your entire post is a sjw rant about modern values
    sure, cause, again, honor, loyalty, brotherhood, shamanism are post-mordern values, i can't even know if you are joking or being real here

    genocide is a modern term
    it is not, is used in wow many times, and its not well seing

    heck, the Romans are considered a great people and they wiped out entire cultures and civilizations to create their pax romana.
    but we are not roma, we are horde, we fight with honor, like always, we kill our enemies personally, enimes who can put a fight, we die in the battlefield with glory, not sitting around and plaguebombing everything.

    With Sylvanas we are creating our own order, and after this war, if she wins, we will have true peace.

    thats pure gold, creating our own order, maybe we can call 3.5th Reich, obiously she will not win, since by 8.1 we are losing in every font, and the only true peace was the pace of arthas want to give us, and i preffer him over a lame elf

    But as you are a SJW
    ayyyy
    And im dont even a Sylvanas fan.
    sure, i buy that

    I like the OLD HORDE,
    no you don't, someone who like the old horde following and undead high elf? thats fucking hilarious

    you know, burning Stormwind, dealing with demons, killing humans for fun, the old good stuff, before all this sjw nonsense. I do not want the horde being like the alliance, boring and plain, i want the Horde being the Horde, and Sylvanas have done a better work being a warchief that SORRY-FOR-BEING-AN-ORC-I-WILL-STARVE-MY-OWN-PEOPLE-THRALL, or the two clowns that came after him.
    newsflash: there are not just retarded warmongers genocidals and peace lovers options, Garrosh era was much better than this red-scourge you are praising, and he use the horde values, not sjw

    i think you have a complex, you just ignore every argument, every thing i say wrong about sylvanus, to do a spin and call me a sjw, bring arguments next time please
