Exploiting an Opening
Level: 80
Thassarian
Captain Kendall
XP: 11050

Exploiting an Opening begins the long quest chain involving Matthias Lehner. Before Thassarian will offer it, players must complete The Shadow Vault.

Objectives

Speak to Captain Kendall below Icecrown Citadel.

Description

I've got an interesting assignment for you, <name>. If you're up for a challenge, that is.

We've been tipped off about an opening below Icecrown Citadel. Our engineers have studied the layout and have decided it's a structural weakness.

We've sent some men there along with some "borrowed" saronite bombs. They're under Captain Kendall's command.

With a little help we could deal a huge blow to the forces of the Scourge. What do you say, <name>?

Completion

Hail, <name>. Thassarian mentioned you'd be dropping by. Any friend of Thassarian's is my friend. Well, any living friend of Thassarian, that is... He does keep odd company.

Notes

Kendall is below the citadel at ^{[51.7, 86.6]} but not down the hole (Naz'anak: The Forgotten Depths^{[54.0, 87.8]}).
