Rewards21g, 5,150 XP

Description

The cultists of the Twilight's Hammer use their powers to draw elementium metal from deep beneath the earth. They coax it out into twisted spikes to form their buildings, rooted right into the defiled ground. The ogres here seem to be in the middle of weaving the stuff, and we need to strike while they're still twisting it into shape. Tear the spikes right out of the ground while they're still pliable, and bring them back to me! We're not going to give these curs a single inch of our land.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fight the HammerLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    You've done what I thought was impossible! I'm done moping around here. It's time to gnome up. I've got to find my father. But you! Don't bother yourself with me any longer. You've got to keep fighting these cultists. Go talk to Ashlan Stonesmirk to the east.

After this quest

    The Twilight's Hammer started as a clan of the savage Horde. Their leader, Cho'gall, slowly turned his band of ogres into a death cult, welcoming anyone insane enough to wish for the end of all existence.
