Quest Objectives

Description

The Defias didn't pay me well enough to die for their cause. They took the king. Yeah, the king of Stormwind, not some lowly diplomat. He was on his way to Theramore to meet with Jaina Proudmore--it was a big deal apparently, and a big secret. But it's not just the Defias that are involved. They're working with someone. I think they knew this was bigger than them.

My part was just to get their man on board the king's ship while it was in the harbor. The guy's name was Hendel. That's all I know. I swear!

When you hand it in

THE KING?! I mean... the king? The real king? Are you joking? You didn't mention you were looking for the king's kidnappers. I didn't even hear he was missing--that would explain his son being crowned some.

I'll send word to Elling right away. He'll want to know you're on the trail.

I would never have guessed Jahn would sell out Stormwind for some lousy coin. Even a rogue's got to have honor when it comes to some things.

The key now is to find this Hendel. And I think I can help with that.
