Description

The shrine has been taken, <name>. We need the tenacity of Lo'Gosh now more than ever.

These defilers - the lice-ridden wolf-men running rampant over the shrine - dishonor the memory of the wolf god. They arrived with the Twilight's Hammer, howling with their own twisted religion. They seek to corrupt noble Lo'Gosh to fit their own warped pantheon.

Kill them! Kill them and bring me the tools of their worship, a kind of polluted incense. I must understand what they want with the shrine...

IMPORTANT INFO:


  2. End of the Supply Line and Harrying the Hunters can be done by both factions, but "The Voice of..." followup requrement is different.

  4. Goldrinn's Ferocity and Howling Mad allows other players to share you quests next on line, but Lycanthoth the Corruptor{H} will let you be in same phase as npc.

  6. Into the Maw!{A2;H;H2}. There are 2Alliance and 2Horde variants, for each faction one from wolf spirit and one backup from main quest guy in Shrine of Goldrinn.

  8. Whole Firelands Forgeworks(8) chain doesn't have any pre-quests. You can get first time to Hyjal and ask warlock to summon you there and do the quests. However Lightning in a Bottle{H} is needed to use the standart teleport.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Goldrinn's FerocityMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    The beasts you see here, they're no longer my brothers from Gilneas. They've been corrupted by some kind of madness, and they've taken over the shrine. They came when the Twilight's Hammer arrived in Hyjal, and they howl the name of some blasphemous mockery of our beloved Goldrinn.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lycanthoth the CorruptorMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    I think I understand what's happening here. The Twilight's Hammer fears that the ancients may someday rise up to oppose them. They'll do anything to stop the return of Goldrinn. This "Lycanthoth" is a twisted version of our beloved wolf god, summoned by the Twilight's Hammer to replace him. Bah!
