In World of Warcraft: The War Within, The Brotherhood in the Skolzgal Wood is one of the questlines you must complete to earn the Sojourner of Isle of Dorn achievement. This War Within questline isn’t easy to complete because it contains 12 individual quests, with the first even locked behind your campaign progress.
If you’re struggling to finish this WoW The War Within questline or you just simply don’t know where to begin, here’s everything you’re going to need to know.
How to start The Brotherhood in the Skolzgal Wood quest in The War Within
![A red arrow pointing to the dornogal citizen who gives the a sassy arathi quest in wow the war within](https://dotesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/a-sassy-arathi-quest-give-in-wow-the-war-within.jpg?w=640)
The Brotherhood in the Skolzgal Wood questline in The War Within begins with the A Sassy Arathi quest, which you get from the Dornogal Citizen at the Crossroads on the Isle of Dorn. You’ll pick it up at the coordinates 55 and 55.
In The Brotherhood in the Skolzgal Wood questline, you must complete 12 individual War Within quests. They are as follows:
- A Sassy Arathi.
- An Oddball in Dornogal.
- Found Around the Unbound.
- The Pillage of Freywold Village.
- The Abductors’ Obstructors.
- Holy Fire in Rambleshire.
- A Time to Kill at the Lumber Mill.
- Ungirthin’ the Earthen.
- Concealed in the Weald.
- A Lamplight for the Shipwright.
- Up to No Good Down in Silkwood.
- Best Friends, Same Ends.
For the most part, you’ll complete these in order. Some quests can be completed simultaneously, saving you some time. The problem most players have, including myself, is the A Sassy Arathi quest isn’t showing up. Luckily, there’s a reason it’s missing.
How to fix A Sassy Arathi quest: A Sassy Arathi quest isn’t showing up
If you don’t see the “A Sassy Arathi” quest at the Crossroads, it’s likely because you haven’t completed the Hallowfall zone campaign. If you’ve completed Hallowfall and don’t see the quest marker on your Isle of Dorn map, that’s because it doesn’t appear on your map—you have to go to the Crossroads to see the quest marker.
![A red circle showing the location of the crossword with no quest markers in wow the war within](https://dotesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/the-crossroads-in-the-isle-of-dorn-wow-the-war-within.jpg?w=640)
The Brotherhood in the Skolzgal Wood questline focuses on the Lamplighters and Peacekeepers, who are crucial in the Hallowfall storyline. Being able to complete this quest before you finish Hallowfall would spoil the whole section. Because of this, you won’t see the “A Sassy Arathi” quest until you finish the Hallowfall storyline.
Once you’ve finished the Hallowfall zone campaign in The War Within, head to the Crossroads. There you’re going to see the Dornogal Citizen with a quest marker above her head who will give you the A Sassy Arathi quest—the first step in the mission.
The reason I say to go to the Crossroads physically, rather than just opening your Isle of Dorn map, is because this quest doesn’t show on your map. When I completed the Hallowfall campaign, I kept checking the map for the quest marker but it wasn’t showing. So, I completed more of the campaign, checked the map, saw the quest still wasn’t showing up, and kept working on the campaign quests. It wasn’t until I got through a good portion of the Azj-Kahet campaign that I decided to go to the Crossroads and check. Lo and behold, the quest was there; it just wasn’t showing on the WoW map, as you can see above.
