Description
There is but one task left for you to complete. Edwin VanCleef must be assassinated. While it saddens me to condemn any man to a death sentence, it is for the greater good of the people of Westfall that VanCleef is laid to rest once and for all. Bring me the villain's head once the deed is done.

Read from the World of Warcraft: Forever beta: the quest's own text, level, objectives and rewards come from the quest cache the beta client writes, the item names, icons and qualities from the client's tables, and the two ends of the quest from the quest's own wording where it names them, with the title under the name where the creature cache knows it, or from the beta log, with the spot on the map, where the game has shown the hand-over. 61 quests have a page here so far.
