One of many emotional quests in Dragonflight.
The pain of losing a dear pet is so great.... Despite having multiple pets along the years since I was born, this pain is as strong to this day.... Especially when my first dog died, I tried to cope his loss by getting the Jaina mount ( which I got it before SL). Quite the "prepare to cry" this questline.

What to do
Description
I do not know what to say. I had no idea that the chieftain's pain ran so deep. It makes sense. Ottuks are not pets to our people--especially not to hunters like our chieftain. They are our friends, our companions... and members of our families. Ipko was Tutaqan's first and only ottuk. Uktulut hunters hold this bond to be sacred. I will see that her passage to the place of our ancestors is a peaceful one.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- All But One
I have seen what you've done for the village. In easier times, I would have handled it, but... <Tutaqan glances towards the river, then back to you.> Some of our ottuks went missing recently. We believe they swam too close to the djaradin's territory. Several were recovered. None of them alive.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In Mourning
This did not need to happen. Those cowardly djaradin... slaughtering our ottuks and leaving them for their twisted beasts to pick clean... I do not take Tutaqan's grief lightly, but I worry for the future of our people if he dwells in darkness and grief for too long. We need to act.
