  • A Decisive StrikeLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    It appears that these beasts in Loch Modan are following the lead of a chieftain named Grawmug. He's the biggest of all the troggs here, lurking deep within the darkness of the caves to the north. If you feel yourself worthy, <name>, I want you to lead the assassination mission on Grawmug.
