Description
We definitely DO NOT have the kind of gold that the Alliance is offering. {name}, we have to do something or we're not going to be able to get those drilling rights! Wait a minute! There was this report from an underwater survey that we did right after the Cataclysm struck. Something about some gold-looking ore that was pushed up from underground. That's it! Head west to the old stomping grounds of the centaur, Splithoof Crag and Splithoof Hold, and dig some up.

What do we have here? A <race>? Come to steal our land with your honeyed tongue and promises? You do not fool me. I have lived a long time, and I know what dealing with your kind means. But the khans do not listen to their elders like they used to. Since you are here, I will put you to use.
