TheWoWDBThis quest is picked up from High Warlord Cromush located in the middle of Tarren Mills.
Do note that this quest will not be available until you have done the questline starting with Kingslayer Orkus. He is in the Ruins of Southshore, south of the town at the docks. He can be found splashing around in the water, drowning. He will give you the first quest "*gurgle*Help!*gurgle*"
If you continue doing the quests given by Orkus, you will eventually end up in Tarren Mills handing in the last quest to High Warlord Cromash. He will then make this quest available.
A fun questline to do :)

Description
I will study the Stormpike battle plans and prepare for an assault. I need you to go to Alterac Valley and enlist the aid of the Frostwolf Clan: the very clan of our former warchief, Thrall. They will help us battle the Stormpike dwarves! Together, we will crush the invaders and see them driven out of Lordaeron for good! Go now, {name}. Alterac Valley is northeast of Tarren Mill. Find Voggah Deathgrip and tell him that the Horde requires the aid of the Frostwolf! LOK'TAR!
