The famous conversation between Gul'dan and Grommash.
Grommash - And what, Gul'Dan, must we give in return?
Gul'dan while pulling back hood - Everything.During the Iron Horde storyline he turns the cup down and we all know how that went.
This alternate scenario points fun at the fact that Gul'dan should not have said Everything.Tauren 1 - What must we give in return?
Tauren 2 - Everything!
Tauren 1 - I guess that isn't so bad...To see this conversation head slightly north of the cave entrance.
If, like me, you didn't have a clue where to go, when you're facing the tent, you follow the path ahead and down.

Description
All Bloodtotem and distinguished guests must go through a trial of blood in the cavern beneath this outpost. I hope it's a good sign that they wish you to participate in this rite of passage. You will need to show proof of your deeds, defeat a Warmonger in single combat, then perform sacrifice at an altar deep in the cavern.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Audience with Torok
I should warn you that Torok is easily displeased and is hateful of outsiders. Be on your guard. We will seek an audience with him at his tent at the Cliff's Edge. As the Rivermane Emissary here, I am afforded some protection against aggression, but they have made no such promises about you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rite of Blood
Oakin Ironbull vouches for you. He's capable, for a Rivermane. You also brought with you proof of your own strength, albeit rather inconclusive proof. Before we allow you to move freely within our territory, you must complete the Rite of Blood, which you have already begun.
