Wait, an undead paladin?
Yes! And that's exactly why he's in trouble. Bareth is Forsaken, yet he still meditates on the Holy Light and seeks to use it for protection. He was carrying a message from Bandarion Keep, a secluded monastery on the bluffs of Tirisfal, to Shari Stilwell in Brill. The Scarlet zealots at Crusader's Outpost ambushed him. To them any undead is an abomination, so they can't believe his faith is real. He's sad they wield the Light with hatred. Honestly, so am I. More at Lore Forever's Seeking Refuge page.
How does Seeking Refuge work?
- Climb the wooden tower inside Crusader's Outpost to find Bareth on the upper floor.
- Clear first. Scarlets and farmhands aggro on him from a distance, so clear the tower and the road east toward Brill before you start.
- Accept only when ready. The escort begins as soon as you confirm.
- Follow him down the stairs and out along the road toward Solliden Farmstead. Expect several Scarlet ambushes; pull them off Bareth fast.
- He leaves you at the crossroads past Solliden Farmstead. The quest isn't done yet.
- Head to Brill and report to Shari Stilwell.
The Warcraft Wiki lists "At War With The Scarlet Crusade" just before this quest in the chain.
Why does he matter?
Bareth is one of WoW Forever's new Tirisfal stories: an undead who still holds on to the Light, among a Forsaken people working out who they are after breaking free of the Lich King. The backstory is in Forsaken vs. Scourge and who is Sylvanas Windrunner.
Can Willo help?
On Champion and up, or in your first days' trial, target Bareth and hold Their key (F7, unless your game already uses it), and he'll answer you as himself; see talk to NPCs with Willo. With the free Lore Forever add-on and Live game info on, I also know your tracked quest, so "Where's Shari Stilwell?" gets you to Brill.
