At level 103 two Champion questlines are available:

1. Recruiting Rexxar, Survival Skills & Survive the Night, which give Champion: Rexxar that grants the Champion follower [champion=743].

2. Calling Hilaire Home and Bite of the Beast, which gives Champion: Beastmaster Hilaire that grants the Champion follower [champion=744].

To unlock these, you'll first need to complete a seemingly unrelated short quest chain in Val'sharah, offered by [npc=107317] at Trueshot Lodge at 41.7 59.99 who gives you the breadcrumb: Lending a Hand. Turn this in to [npc=107372] and do Rising Troubles and Assassin Entrapment. At this point, [npc=113325] should appear beside [npc=107372] and offer you Urgent Summons.

Note that [npc=113325] didn't appear for me until I'd obtained all three artefact weapons.

[npc=107425] is in Highmountain at Cliff's Edge, which is 200 yards NW of The Witchwood flight point at 36.73 35.39. For those without coordinates, that's on the first E of Edge on the map. Hints: You only need one piece of wood per quest to light the fire, berries aren't necessary, you only need four pieces of cooked meat to survive "overnight".

[npc=107316] is Stormheim, just North of Weeping Bluffs, about 300 yards North of the nearest flight path at Skyfire Triage Camp. Hint: Deliver Zoarg's Head to [npc=107460], as [npc=107316] really doesn't want it!

Description

Black Rook invaders are still targeting our farms and homes, even though there's not much left to pillage. We had hoped that once they cleared us out that the attacks would stop, but it seems those mindless ghouls will follow any orders given by their commander. We'd take him out ourselves, but he's a sneaky fella. The only way we're going to catch him, is if someone lays a trap. I can provide the supplies if you're willing to help.

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.
