Description

The Vilebranch trolls here used to drink the corrupted blood of the god Hakkar himself for power. They boiled it in crude pots before drinking, dark vessels full of unholy strength.

Hakkar was killed long ago, of course. But the interesting thing... I still see some cauldrons bubbling up there. Bring me back a few and we'll see just what they've got cooking.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Death to the VilebranchThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    We won't give them a chance to react. You must re-enter Jintha'Alor and charge all the way to the upper tiers. The Vilebranch berserkers and shadowcasters are dangerous enemies, <name>. When the others see their bodies thrown across the walls, they'll know we mean business.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ongo'longo's RevengeThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    Ongo'longo was one of us. What outsiders called a Dire Troll, but he was a Revantusk, and a proud warrior like all of us! Then the Vilebranch took him. They keep him chained up in a pit at the top of Jintha'Alor, made to dance for their sick amusement. No chains can hold Ongo'longo.
