Description
Our elders say that these vrykul may be able to rise from the dead; not unlike the walking dead you call the Scourge, but a different kind of undeath. We should not take any chances. Here, take my machete. As we move through this place, carve up the remains of the vrykul that we slay. I spent the morning sharpening it, so it should cleave even through their thick bones.
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.
- The Rune of Command
Can you feel the power emanating from the runes I've carved on this tablet? They're smaller versions of the runes that the Iron Dwarves are using. We'll use it to shut down their operation. Take it to Giants' Run and use it on a stone giant that the dwarves have not altered.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Burn Skorn, Burn!
Chieftain Ashtotem ordered me to destroy many buildings here. However, you are in charge, so it falls to your hands, <name>. I suggest that we burn down the two longhouses and the barracks that are in the lower area of Skorn. All we have to do is get inside each and set them ablaze with this torch.
