Just a simple delivery at Thrallmar(Nazgrel)
If you drop this quest, (like I did) then you must head back to the dead orc to reclaim it. I spent quite abit of time pondering about Thrallmar hunting down the questgiver until I realised this.

StorylineHellfire Peninsula, step 12 of 103
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
You pull the stone axe out of the body to examine it more closely. There's something unusual about the craftsmanship of the weapon. Its origin appears orcish, though the materials aren't like anything you've seen before. Nazgrel might be interested in seeing the weapon.
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.
- The Assassin
<name>, we recently uncovered a plot to assassinate our envoy to Falcon Watch. Hellfire Citadel learned of our plans to send an expedition there earlier this morning and set up an ambush.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Warchief's Mandate
As you know, the warchief put his power behind this expedition for one reason. This is the world we came from. This is where our roots lie. This journey means different things to orcs and blood elves. To them it's a search for the promised land. To us it's more like returning home.
