What to do
Description
All the quilboars are our enemies, {name}. Some just prove to be more of a nuisance than others. The Razormane tribe has been attacking our supply caravans that roll through here from Orgrimmar. I have scouts seeking the leader of these raids, but until then, any losses you can inflict on the filthy pig men would aid us. Start just south of here, where they've been raiding our camps near the river. Seek them out, and slay them.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Pigmen running amok right on the border of Durotar? Not on my watch! It is as they say, <name>: The best defense is crushing all who oppose you. One of my scouts followed the quilboar after the last caravan raid, so we know where to strike.
