Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Hunt for YennikuNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

  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 KnowNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

  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.
