A Sacred Burial

A Sacred Burial is a Horde-only quest for level 1-30 in Mulgore. It is step 16 of 24 in the Mulgore storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Mulgore at 49.5, 17.1. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 3,100 experience and money.

Description

Only the most valiant tauren are laid to rest at Red Rocks, our sacred burial ground. It is an honor bestowed upon the great warriors who helped found and defend Thunder Bluff and those who have given their lives for the greater good of their tribes and chieftains.

But it appears a foul menace has made its way onto our holy land. A band of Bristleback Interlopers is ravaging the grave site and I am too old and past my prime to drive them away.

They must be driven off with force, <name>.

Red Rocks is just north-east of the quest-giver. The camp is quite tightly packed, so if you're doing this at the appropriate level, you might want to pull cautiously.

The quest is available to other races, and gives credit for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Supervisor FizsprocketMulgore · Level 1-30

    According to the documents you salvaged from the caravan, the Venture Co. created many plans to attempt to drive us from our lands here, so that they could have free reign to plunder our lands. The depths that they would sink to accomplish their goals disgusts and appalls me.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Preparation for CeremonyMulgore · Level 1-30

    <name>, my brother soon stands before Chief Bloodhoof, and it is my honor to make his headdress for him. I want to ask a favor of you while I finish tanning these leather straps. There is not time for me to find enough feathers, and I was wondering, would you gather more for me?
