Shattered Sun Offensive

A Shattrath City faction, taking the fight against Kael'thas onto his home ground: the Sunwell on the island of Quel'Danas in the north of Azeroth.

Dailies with Shattered Sun Supplies as part of the rewards

Some of the Shattered Sun Offensive daily quests have Shattered Sun Supplies as part of their quest rewards. And each one you open has a chance of containing a Badge of Justice. As badges of justice now seem to be the key to getting high-end gear, you may want to concentrate on these quests. They are:

• Blast the Gateway
• Maintaining the Sunwell Portal
• Sunfury Attack Plans
• The Multiphase Survey

Content rollout

With the Shattered Sun Offensive, Blizzard have adopted the strategy of rolling out the new content over time, and the motor for that roll out is players turning in quests. Their invasion of the isle of Quel'Danas is therefore structured into stages.

1. Initial situation.
   • Shattered Sun Offensive forces control the ship at the north-west end of the harbour and the small round building just inland from it: the Shattered Sun Staging Area. This is the basis for further attacks.
   • NPCs available are: Archmage Ne'thul, Theremis (Keeper of Lost Artifacts), Yrma (Transmuter of Sin'dorei Relics), Vindicator Xayann, Eldara Dawnrunner, Exarch Larethor and Captain Theris Dawnhearth.
   • The next objective is to capture the Sun's Reach Sanctum, the slightly larger, two-storey round building just south of the Shattered Sun Staging Area.
2. Sun's Reach Sanctum.
   • NPCs newly available are: Harbinger Inuuro, Battlemage Arynna, Astromancer Darnarian and Tradesman Portanuus (Trade Supplies).
   • The next objective is to capture the Sun's Reach Armory, the even larger, three-storey round building south south east of the Sanctum.
3. Sun's Reach Armory.
   • NPCs newly available are: Tyrael Flamekissed (General Goods), Smith Hauthaa, Vindicator Kaalan, Karynna (Exotic Gear Purveyor), Magister Ilastar, Soryn (Exotic Gear Purveyor), Kayri (Exotic Gear Purveyor) and Olus (Exotic Gear Purveyor).
   • Smith Hauthaa has a set of quests of her own which eventually, when they have been completed enough times, result in her building a forge and an anvil. Once she has done that, you can repair on the island instead of having to return home.
   • The next objective is to capture the Sun's Reach Harbor, the enormous, four-storey round building on the water's edge at the south-east end of the harbour.
4. Sun's Reach Harbor.
   • Once in friendly hands, the harbour building becomes an inn. Hurrah! There is now a mailbox just outside the entrance! Hurrah, finally you don't have to leave the island just because your bags are full of valuable loot!
   • NPCs newly available are: Anchorite Ayuri, Caregiver Inaara (Innkeeper), Mar'nah (Alchemist), Sereth Duskbringer (Poison Supplier), Anchorite Kairthos and Captain Valindria.
   • The next objective is to ...
