After you turn this in, a scene will play out:
Prince Liam Greymane yells: You will come no further, Forsaken scum! By the war banner of the ancient Greymane clan, I expel you from our ancestral lands!
Captain Asther yells: Worthless mongrel. I will order our outhouses cleaned with this rag you call a banner.
Koroth the Hillbreaker yells: Corpse-men take Koroth's banner! Corpse-men get smashed to bitses!Funny thing... Why would forsaken need outhouses?
This quest cracks me up. I always stay by the side of the road dancing while Koroth slaughters the Forsaken.

What to do
Description
The Forsaken are right on our heels and now these ogres are trying to flank us, {name}. They're servants of the ettin Koroth -- the meanest, most destructive force in all of Gilneas. If we can bait Koroth into charging the Forsaken's forward force, we should be able to cover our retreat and buy some time. The only way this can work is if we make Koroth furious. It won't be enough to just kill his minions. We need to swipe his most prized possession, a tiger-skinned banner.
Where to go
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.
