Really, this former English major nearly peed herself laughing at all of the hilarious references to both Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now. This is honestly one of my favorite things about WoW, and I really ought to make a point of telling Blizzard I appreciate it.

Description

We sent troops with Captain Conrad ahead to Nazmir to gain a foothold in that hellish jungle. The reports we've been receiving of the local troll population are... disconcerting. They're in over their heads, {name}. I have Brann Bronzebeard prepped and ready to head out. Accompany Brann to Nazmir so we can secure our position. The Wind's Redemption is at your disposal.
