The centaurs have plagued the tauren for years. And recently, the Kolkar centaurs of the Barrens have grown into a real threat. Normally they were disorganized in these lands, but new leaders have risen among them. Rallying them. To preserve our holdings here, these centaur leaders must be destroyed. Bring me the head of Barak Kodobane. He camps west of these Forgotten Pools. Defeat him, then return to me.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fungal Spores
The oases of the Barrens hide a mystery. Life energy flows from their waters, invigorating the plants and beasts that drink it. Invigorating, and altering. There is a mushroom that grows near the Forgotten Pools to the northwest.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Growing Problem
An explosion of life from barren soil... My companion Jerrik has described similar events happening elsewhere in the Barrens. I shall have to see this for myself, but I cannot abandon my post. Here, <name>, I will loan you my 'eyes.' My eagle companion here has served me since I was named.
