It's a rite of passage... Gotta cut one off!
Collecting ears? Just like old times, Blizzard! Just let me get my Godly Great Sword of the Whale (Duped, natch) and then I can go show my new "friends" the first basement level of the cathedral!
That is every comment on this page.

Description
Sorrem has made no secret of his disdain for the Burning Blade at Thunder Axe Fortress. Surely, proof of their demise would be of value to him.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Peace of Mind
We are a forward post, charged with monitoring potential adversaries. Once the Horde launches its Desolace campaign, our work here will ensure that nothing takes us by surprise. Recently, one of our scouts was caught and sacrificed by the Burning Blade at their stronghold to the east.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- You'll Know It When You See It
With his dying breath, Kohor mentioned the summoning of a demon that could threaten the entire region. He may have been bluffing, but that's not a chance worth taking. This cannot wait for the Horde's invasion of Desolace to take shape.
