Description

No threat here will go overlooked. If we are to secure these lands under the Dark Lady's rule, we will tear from them everything living, inch by inch, piece by piece. To the northeast, not a stone's throw away from this camp is an ogre mound. The Boulderfist ogres that dwell in it must be eradicated, {class}. They are in the way. Show no mercy or hesitation.

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.

  • Alina's RewardArathi Highlands · Level 10-30

    The tale of Trol'kalar ends here, then. It will be a weapon to bring death to the living, in the name of the Dark Lady. Leave me now, <name>. My job is once again to guard the blade. Tell Alina of your victory, I'm sure she will have a reward for you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Call to ArmsArathi Highlands · Level 10-30

    Our next strike against the ogres will bring you further east to Stromgarde. The living consider these gutted ruins worth clinging to. Their sentimentality is disgusting! All that Stromgarde holds for us is a foul den of more ogres, waiting to be struck down.
