We must find if Yenniku is dead. Slay the Bloodscalps of Zuuldaia and take from them their shrunken heads. You must gather many, many heads, and I will inspect them to make sure Yenniku's head is not among them. And if Yenniku was killed by the Bloodscalps, then may a 600-year curse fall on the spirit of their chief, Gan'zulah! Go, {name}. You will find the heads at the ruins of Zuuldaia, along the coast to the north.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hunt for Yenniku
A doom, there is. A doom on my chief's youngest son, Yenniku. As is a custom with our people, he was given to the Gurubashi Trolls of Zul'Gurub, but after my tribe, the Darkspear tribe, left with the orc Thrall, poor Yenniku was lost to us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nezzliok Will Know
Yenniku was not among the heads, and I thank the Great Serpent for it. But we are no closer to finding him. We must know the truth, and I fear that only the Bloodscalp witchdoctor will know it.
