StorylineDurotar, step 31 of 33
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

Griswold, chained up over there on the cliffs, is my newest gladiator. We found him just south of here, sniffing around with Northwatch soldiers. I had my men nab him up, and now he works for me. He looks tough enough, but he hasn't really been battle-tested yet. Go pick a fight with him so I can see if he's worth keeping around.

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.

  • GhislaniaDurotar · Level 1-30

    I own a couple gladiators that I put into competitions around Kalimdor. You can see most of them chained up around here... we were lucky to rein these ones in after the cart broke down. Ghislania, that naga over there... she's lost her last three fights.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gaur IcehornDurotar · Level 1-30

    I wouldn't normally keep a taunka as a captive, due to their close relationship with the Horde... but this one is a traitor, and a criminal to boot. Exiled by his own tribe, he canoed down to Azshara and was found stealing supplies from Valormok.
