Quest Log

Hunt for Yenniku

Hunt for Yenniku is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Northern Stranglethorn. It is step 11 of 60 in the Northern Stranglethorn storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

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. I was sent from distant Orgrimmar, back to Stranglethorn, to search for my chief's son.

And I believe the Bloodscalp tribe has him.

If you would help me, then hunt the Bloodscalps. You may find them to the north. Gather their tusks and return to me.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Defense of Grom'gol: Murloc MenaceNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    The Murkgill murlocs have been pushed out of the ocean by the Saltscale murlocs, so they make their refuge in the Kal'ai ruins to our northeast. This was acceptable in the past, but no longer.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • HeadhuntingNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    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.
