Challe is bizarre, unexplained, and kind of awesome.
Back in TBC we just thought she was a creepy troll lady who ran a daycare with suspicious child-sized skeletons, but no. Here we learn she's a shapeshifter who kills people to stay young and transforms into them. She can't actually be a troll since she's on Draenor and has been there for years, as Gar'rok said he knew her as a child.
Is she even an orc at all? Or is she something else?
This is the kind of mystery I've been missing.

What to do
Description
In a cave not far from here, there lives an old woman named Challe. I knew Challe many years ago when I was young; though as I have become old and grey, she has kept her youth and beauty. Challe was jealous of my love for Dahaka and I have long suspected that Challe had a part in her death. However, without evidence I could not bring justice against her. Meet with Challe and tell her that I am dying. Tell her that I wish to know the truth of Dahaka's fate before I leave this world.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Rare Bloom
Many years ago I had a life-mate, Dahaka. We were only bound a short time before she was taken from me. I have lived long, but I have never known greater pain than that day. I was young and my grief was great; the earth quaked beneath my rage. I laid her to rest upon this cliff.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Debt We Share
These mortal shells that we call bodies are not ours to keep. The body is a gift of earth that must one day be returned from whence it came. The time has come for this body to return to the elements. Know that you have lifted the weight from an old heart, <name>.
