All Apologies can now be turned in at the seat of power in the valley of strength. The new warchief has not been awarded the throne as of yet so [npc=14720] has assumed command and all quest giving potential for the time being.

Dread Head Redemption
Fly back out to Splintertree post, go into the mines and talk with [npc=33760], after confronting him follow him to the rear of the mine, he will change into a demon and attack you, fight and kill him. due to the massive changes to the warchief position your map won't show where to turn it in. the quest ? will be there when you get back to Org and into the throne room.

BOOM! you are the proud owner of [item=119326], [item=119327], or [item=119325].

New quest for Cataclysm. Given by a quest giver called Kadrak(loc 42,15) located near the watchtowers on the border of Northern barrens and Ashenvale.

Pass through the gate and head in a NW direction. Gorat is lying down mortally wounded at loc 64,84. He is surrounded by a ring of dead Nightelves.

Description

Gorat is one of the Horde's most adept assassins. The mere mention of his name strikes fear into the hearts of our Alliance foes. He is reliable, fiercely loyal, and - until now - punctual. Something's not right, {class}. Gorat's mission was to find and eliminate the elf in charge of this assault on the ramparts. He should be somewhere in the region of Fallen Sky Lake. Find him!
