I am Deathlord Tolian, the Undying, Hand of the Lich King, wielder of the Maw of the Damned, Champion of Azeroth, and you want me to collect drums for you?
It involves you running around an irksome Thunderbluff copy, searching for the most boring of musical instruments imaginable, you will probably need to search all three of the following locations:
- Top outer ring killing the drum-wielding creatures
- Just on the other side of the bridges across from this ring
- Inside at the bottom, around the walls
This is the most boring quest in an otherwise fantastic expansion.
This quest becomes available after you complete Huln's War - The Nathrezim.

Description
Those foolish calves! They've made off with our ceremonial drums again, treating them as toys... as... common drums! Can you help me find them? They must be scattered to all corners of Thunder Totem by now, discarded as soon as the fun dries up.

- Mountainstrider Round-Up
Stranger! You are the one I have heard of? When the kerfuffle with the drogbar happened, some of the young moose ran off! I can't chase them down or the others might wander off as well. Could you bring them back here?
