“As you all well know, the path of our people has not been an enviable one. Blood elf and draenei alike have been tested. Conflict and strife have been our constant companions for as long as any of us can remember. For countless years, and across the faces of many worlds, draenei have yearned to better embrace the Light and put an end to darkness. So too have our Scryer brethren held such ambition. At last my noble brothers and sisters, our time is at hand!”

Grand Anchorite Almonen

The Shattered Sun Offensive (abbreviated as SSO) is an army of the Scryers and Aldor rallied by the naaru to combat Kael'thas Sunstrider's mad bid to use the Sunwell as a portal to summon his master, Kil'jaeden.[1] Their operations are centered around the Isle of Quel'Danas, where the Sunwell is located. The Offensive is the culmination of a plea for unity between the draenei priests of the Aldor and the blood elf wizards of the Scryers in an effort to prevent Kil'jaeden's summoning.

The Offensive's main base is located on Quel'Danas in an area called Sun's Reach, on the island's northwestern corner. The first efforts of the Offensive are to retake Sun's Reach - first the arcane sanctum, then the armory, then finally the harbor - from the Dawnblade blood elves loyal to Kael'thas, as well as the demonic forces of the Burning Legion who have come at the evil Prince's call. Members of the Offensive will also be called upon to enter the Magisters' Terrace and do battle with the elite of Kael'thas' forces, eventually facing the lord of the blood elves himself in a final showdown.

History[]

Stub Please add any available information to this section.

Battle for Sun's Reach[]

Bc icon This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade.

Main article: Battle for Sun's Reach
Both sides of the Monument to the Fallen

When the first adventurers reached the Isle of Quel'Danas, the Shattered Sun Offensive's base of operations at Sun's Reach only consisted of elven ships and a small camp, the Shattered Sun Staging Area. As the heroes completed their daily missions, the Shattered Sun Offensive progressively took over buildings on the island, unlocking more resources and missions.

The first building to be reclaimed was the Sun's Reach Sanctum, and upon retaking it, their next step was to recover the Sun's Reach Armory. At the same time, Exarch Nasuun in Shattrath City created a portal to the Isle of Quel'Danas, and asked the adventurers to help him complete it.[4] Once the portal was activated, Exarch Nasuun regularly asked the heroes to find mana cell in order to maintain the portal, while Astromancer Darnarian sent them to test the island's ley lines.[5] Sun's Reach Harbor was the third and final location to be reclaimed, along with the Silvermoon's Pride.

The Shattered Sun Offensive later began to accept donations of gold to construct a statue in honor of the fallen.[6][7]

Assault on the Sunwell[]

Following the demise of Prince Kael'thas at the hands of the Shattered Sun Offensive and the blue dragon, Kalecgos, the Offensive's troops procured a foothold in the Sunwell Plateau itself. However, an Arcane guardian twisted by the Burning Legion blockaded their advance, and threw them back to the entrance. Heroes were tasked with fighting their way through the blood elves' sacred fount of power, and the Shattered Sun captain Selana debriefed new troops on the situation.

The Shattered Sun troops entered the Sunwell's room shortly prior to Prophet Velen and Lady Liadrin's own arrival, and were present to witness its rebirth from the heart of M'uru.

Aftermath[]

Wrath-Logo-Small This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich King.

Though their work was done, it appeared that the Offensive had not been entirely relieved from duty. With the Isle of Quel'Danas back under complete control, the blood elves of Quel'Thalas fortified the defenses of their sacred Sunwell, while the remnants of the Shattered Sun still hold a small presence around Dawnstar Village and its surrounding areas, a few members of the Shattered Sun Offensive could be seen assisting the blood elven builders in reconstructing the area.

Dragonflight[]

Dragonflight This section concerns content related to Dragonflight.

Years later, following the rediscovery of the Dragon Isles, Dranarus was sent to Orgrimmar on behalf of Velen for a matter of great importance, and could be seen with a tabard of the Shattered Sun Offensive.[8]

The Shattered Sun Offensive is a new faction that was added in patch 2.4.0, with the opening of the Isle of Quel'Danas and its instances. In addition to the NPCs on Quel'Danas, several new quest givers were added in Shattrath City, and the majority of the NPCs around the Terrace of Light are now marked as members of the Offensive, with blood elves mingling with the draenei (prior to 2.4, all of the NPCs around the Terrace were draenei affiliated with the Aldor).

Quests[]

The Shattered Sun Offensive storyline is unique in WoW as far as gameplay is concerned, as most quests are added or removed based on the completion of server-wide objectives like retaking locations on the Isle of Quel'Danas or activating the Portal to the Isle from Shattrath, and not based on reputation.

Most quests take place solely on the Isle, but a few involve activities elsewhere in Outland. Quests not taking place on the Isle are marked with their zone information below. Once the final phase is reached, there are Shattered Sun Offensive quests taking place in every zone of Outland excluding Zangarmarsh.

Sun's Reach daily quests[]

Quests are first introduced in the phase designated by their column and either last until the beginning of the phase introducing their replacements if marked by a dagger (†), or are permanently added to the game. The dagger notation is kept throughout the wiki for all links pointing to the removed quests.

Only the quests in the rows designating an objective count towards completing that objective. So, only the quests N [70 Daily] Intercept the Reinforcements (IR) and N [70 Daily] Taking the Harbor (TH), as part of the Sun's Reach Harbor objective, will advance the realm towards Phase 4.

Alternate rows under the "Portal", "Anvil" and "Monument" headers are introduced at the same time as their parent phases (Phases 2, 3 and 4, respectively), but track completion separately from the parent phases. Realms on average will complete the alternate (Phase nB) phases before advancing to the next major phase.

Nearly all of the quests in this table are both daily quests, and available at all reputations starting from neutral with the Offensive. The exceptions are N [25-30 Daily] Your Continued Support (YCS), which is a daily quest available until players reach exalted reputation with the Offensive, and N [25-30] A Magnanimous Benefactor (AMB), which is a one-time only quest, available starting in Phase 4, but requires exalted reputation with the SSO to be eligible. These two quests also have a negative amount listed in the ΔGold column, indicating their status as donation quests.

Due to the rather large amount of information in this table, all of the quest names and rewards have been abbreviated to limit the visible size of the table. Simply hover over the link to bring up a tooltip with the full name of the quest and reward information if javascript is enabled. Additionally, the column headers for the phases link to their relevant sections in the Reclaiming Sun's Reach section of the article.

Players performing these daily quests after the Wrath of the Lich King expansion will now see a lower gold return in exchange for experience granted for completing the quests while still under the level cap. The total for all 19 quests (including YCS but not AMB) will grant 208800 experience, 69g, and 4450 reputation.
