Description

Kilrath sends news of the Boulderfist leader: He is an orc! An ancient orc that passed through the Dark Portal in the time of our fathers and has since returned to his homeland. I wish for you to track down this orc and try to convince him to pull back the Boulderfist ogres. He resides on an upper platform in the Burning Blade Ruins to the southeast near the border of Terokkar. Good luck, <name>!

Be warned, he is a blademaster...

If you're working on the Nagrand Slam achievement and can't find this quest The Impotent Leader to begin the series, try this, to pick up the quest line again.

Because I didn't read the quests, I missed the fact that this quest chain takes you out of Nagrand to Terokkar Forest and then back to Nagrand again.

You will find the NPC you need, [npc=18273] to progress this quest chain in Terokkar Forest at location 19.8, 60.8 (Tom Tom: /way Terokkar Forest 19.77, 60.85).
If you don't have a co-ordinate finder, he's on the far western side of the Terokkar Forest map directly above the first 'o' in Bleeding Hollow Ruins at the base of the hills and west of the 'y' shaped road intersection.

Speak to him and you can pick up the next quest in the chain Don't Kill the Fat One and continue.

Good luck
