Looks like someone going to kick warchief-ass!

Will horde also siege Orgrimmar in order to defeat Garrosh? Or this is an Alliance-only quest? (which probably isn't...)

I hope this is going to be something you have to do as a raid, and not some easy way scenario...

In response to 5.4's item from the legendary, I believe that Breath of the Black Prince will still be used!

Pure speculation to 5.4 legendary quest items and their uses, as well as the motive behind it all. beware spoilers!
This is a compilation of my guild and the most logical information we have come up to as to the raid in 5.4:

With the escalation of 5.2 and 5.3 with Garrosh becoming ever so "Prideful" as well as the willingness to use the sha to his advantage, we are under belief that he is under the influence of the Sha of Pride(multi-phase fight possibly ending with the sha itself, leaving Garrosh).

With the 600 ilvl cloaks from the legendary 5.3 quest chain, it is safe to assume, after upgrading, that the ilvl will be 608 and still be useful into heroic progression<possibly> I doubt a change from 496(normal t14) to 522(normal t15) we will see an 86 ilvl increase instead of a 20-30.

That being said, The cloaks *should* still be usable for endgame. With the new sha being a part of the raid, we are likely to see sha touched items again, including a shield or two this time around. Allowing for the prismatic socket, and the sha touched gems to be used again, as well as the meta from 5.2's chain, letting us use every available item so far in a clash of the titans so to speak.

Lastly, what is the legendary for this patch? well...remember the data mining from when 5.1 came out? I know i do!
Legendaries for every class!
shows that each item can have a legendary "upgrade" If those were to be sha-weapons/shields, it would make sense that the last portion of the chain actually increases your sha-items iLvL and makes it orange quality with an enhanced ability.

Those are my thoughts on it, what do you guys think?

Next: A Timeless Discovery, via Wrathion

I completed Cloak of Virtue/Chapter IV: Celestial Blessings and obtained the cloak during 5.3 - perhaps if you do it during 5.4 or later you get Meet Me Back at the Inn instead of this quest.

Preparing to Strike

This quest is no longer available within the game.

Return to Wrathion at the Tavern in the Mists in the Veiled Stair.

Description

Events are in motion, <name>. We have one final task to complete before we are ready to move into the final act of my plan.

My agents tell me that King Wrynn has reassembled a naval fleet after his losses at Theramore, and Vol'jin is marching north across Durotar in open rebellion against the warchief.

Speak with me again as soon as they are ready to converge on the gates. We will bring this war to a glorious conclusion!
