Description

You probably think most Broken are evil, don't you? In reality many just lack guidance.

Before I met the Omenai, I too was lost.

Our minds suffered terrible pain from the orcs' demonic magic. We are easily confused and taken advantage of.

Demons allied with Illidan raid Hellfire daily and capture our kind as slaves. With the Omenai we now have hope. Travel to the Ruins of Sha'naar, southwest of here, and slay the Illidari taskmasters so my people may be free!

The taskmasters can be found at Cenarion Post (15, 54).
Each Taskmaster (lvl 63) has between 2 and 3 Dreghood Brutes with him. When you attack the Taskmaster they will help him fight you. Don't kill these guys, there being forced to attack you, as soon as the Taskmaster is dead they are free.

Focus all your attack on the Taskmaster. The Dreghood Brutes do only trivial damage and will stop attacking after the Taskmaster falls. Infact they will attack another Taskmaster when freed if one is closeby.

If you pull two taskmasters simultaneously, all of the adds of both of them will despawn immediately after the first one is killed.
