Description

Your skills have not gone unnoticed by the vrykul of Jotunheim, {name}. Thane Banahogg has taken a personal interest in you and has insisted that he be your next match. If you thought Carnage was bad, then you might want to go home now. Thane Banahogg's nickname is The Deathblow. I think you can guess how he earned it. Do you accept the thane's challenge?

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.

  • Battle at Valhalas: Carnage!Icecrown · Level 25-30

    You've been successful up to this point, <name>, but what you must face to continue to battle within Valhalas is a gigantic horror beyond imagining. I must warn you to turn away now. Carnage is a mountain of flesh constructed by the Lich King's most fiendish minds.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Battle at Valhalas: Final ChallengeIcecrown · Level 25-30

    I'm afraid that your success is going to be your undoing, <name>. <If the val'kyr could turn more white, she would.> Word of your success in Valhalas has reached deep into Icecrown Citadel, stirring one whom you have no desire to meet. Prince Sandoval himself is on his way at this very moment.
