As you advance from Aspirant to Valiant to Champion within the Argent Tournament, there will be dailies available for killing the Scourge of Icecrown. The Aspirant version requires 8 kills, the Valiant 10, and the Champion 15. Prior to 3.2, you could kill most types of Scourge in Icecrown for credit, but now only the [npc=32255] counts. Thus, it is no longer possible to kill the same mobs to complete both the Valiant and Champion quests.
This particular quest is for Exodar Valiants. The quests for Valiants of the other factions are:
- Darnassus
- Gnomeregan
- Ironforge
- Orgrimmar
- Sen'jin
- Silvermoon
- Stormwind
- Thunder Bluff
- Undercity

No one is saying much about the quest itself. In the target area, there are some wandering single Converted Heroes, but the majority of them move in groups of about 8. Nearby will be a Scourge Banner Bearer. This guy grants any scourge within 50 yards a damage and attack speed buff, so needless to say you will be killing these first.
The Converted Heroes are a pretty easy kill unless you get a bunch of them on you at once. Conveniently, they are not linked unless you get too close to them. Pull them and they will come, one at a time, and politely get whooped.
If you are a pet class, DO NOT SEND YOUR PET IN. Unless, of course, you want to fight all of them at once. As a BM hunter, with my tank pet out, I could do that and volley 'em down. But unless you are ready for it, take my advice and just pull them back to you.
That's about it. Whack the banner bearers first and single pull the others, or if you're up to it, fight all 8 at once.
Killing the scourge required for "At the Enemy's Gates" doesn't credit you for this quest.

Description
The tournament is a time for testing your skills against your peers, but we must not forget that the real enemy, the Scourge, will not wait. As you hone your skills against others, so should you maintain your edge in combat against the enemy. Travel to the area southwest of the Valley of Fallen Heroes and north of Corp'rethar. There, the Scourge raises dead heroes and turns them against us. Defeat these minions of the Scourge, do honor to our allies, and keep yourself prepared for combat.
