If you are truly a <class> of the Horde, you will relish the chance to demonstrate our strength.

This reminds me of another thing an NPC said in a Blizz game. Diable II, Blood Raven quest.

"If you are truly our ally, you will help us destroy her!"

Description

Preparations for war are underway in the vrykul village of Voldrune to the southeast. Voldrune's thane cannot field a large army, but with our forces spread thin, we are still at risk. We cannot risk giving the thane and his men an opportunity to attack, so we must take the battle to them. If you are truly a {class} of the Horde, you will relish the chance to demonstrate our strength. Cut down the huscarls and prove to this Dragonflayer clan that the Horde is not to be trifled with!

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.
