Optional breadcrumbs:
Hero's Call: Burning Steppes or Mouton Flamestar

Do anytime before leaving to Chiselgrip:
Done Nothing Wrong

Keeshan is back with either:
Burning Vengeance if you did the Redridge chain or Burning Vengeance if you did not.

These three at once:
Stocking Up
A Future Project
Mud Hunter

Then:
The Sand, the Cider, and the Orb

These two at once: Warlocks Have the Neatest Stuff and Shadow Boxing

Then:
Return to Keeshan
Chiselgrip, the Heart of the Steppes

Enables these quests, which must be completed before General Thor'izog in the main chain:
Prove Yer Allegiance
Scrapped Golems (leads to Golem Training)

Main chain continues:
A Needle in a Hellhole
A Perfect Costume (4 versions) Read the quest carefully. What creature disguise do you need?
---> Orc (given to Humans and Dwarves): 2 Hides, 4 muds, 2 thread
---> Goblin (given to Gnomes): 1 hide, 3 mud, 4 thread
---> Troll (given to Night Elves): 3 Hides, 2 mud, 1 thread

The Kodocaller's Horn
Taking the Horn for Ourselves
Until Blizzard fixes it, when you turn in this quest, you will get a failed quest sound
with "You don't meet the requirements for that quest". Don't panic.

You must by this time have finished Stebben's quests, listed above.
General Thorg'izog
Trial by Magma
I Am the Law and I am the Lash [I think this completing this one is optional]
When you accept the above, look for Abuse of Power in your quest log

Then:
Enough Damage for One Day
Morgan's Vigil

Completing that quest allows for these four together:
SEVEN! YUP! [rewards Tiny Flamefly]
Blackened Ashes
A Heap of Delicious Worg
Latent Demons of the Land

Then these three together:
Blood Tour
Draconic Vanguard
A Deal with a Dragon

Given when third one above is completed: Placing the Pawns

Then these three:
A Delivery for Thorg'izog
A Delivery for Neeralak
A Delivery for Zi'lun

Auto-accepted when above three are done:
Locked and Loaded

And the epic conclusion:
Assault on Dreadmaul Rock
Glory Amidst Chaos
The Spoils of War

Description

Judging by your weight, build, and size, we're going to dress you as an ogre. The firegut ogres have always worked for the Blackrocks, 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. Go ahead and grab whatever you think is necessary, then bring it here. Thelaron will fix you right up.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Needle in a HellholeBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Prove Yer AllegianceBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    Yer welcome to stay in Chiselgrip for a time, but I need to know that yer a friend. So I've got a task for ye. We of the Thorium Brotherhood're not the only dark irons here in the steppes. Far from it. We're pretty badly outnumbered by the dark irons of Blackrock Mountain.
