Description
Lok'tar, {class}. My name is Eitrigg, of the Argent Crusade... formerly of the Warchief's Honor Guard. Before that, of the Blackrock orcs. I trust my son has briefed you on our plan. He hasn't? That is probably for the better. The next part of the plan is going to require a bit of subtlety. Speak with Thelaron Direneedle, the tailor here in town. I've already given him the hides and mud that you've collected. He's going to need to size you. That's right, {race}: you're going undercover.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Chiselgrip, the Heart of the Steppes
We're headed to Chiselgrip, right in the center of these steppes. We'll rendezvous with the Thorium Brotherhood there, as well as with my father. Are you familiar with the Brotherhood? Those dark iron dwarves have helped me out more than once. We may need their help again.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Perfect Costume
Judging by your weight, build, and size, we're going to dress you as an orc. Their army is made mostly of orcs, so you'll fit right in. Do you know much about tailoring? If not, then consider this your first lesson. My crafting table over there has all the necessary supplies on it.
