Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Favored Skull
Your pet raptor seems to have found a new toy: a skull, from a nearby troll skull pile. What sets this skull apart from the rest is beyond you, but for some reason, she won't put it down. Osborn Obnoticus, the gnome you saved from Kurzen's Compound, is an expert in troll history and physiology.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Physical Specimen
The soul is ready, but the body is not. For a skull as well-formed, as marvelous, as beautiful as this... we will need a suitable body. The chief of the Bloodscalps, Gan'zulah, won his throne with brute force. If he still lives, you'll find him in Zul'Kunda, to the west.
