At level 103 two Champion questlines are available:

1. Recruiting Rexxar, Survival Skills & Survive the Night, which give Champion: Rexxar that grants the Champion follower [champion=743].

2. Calling Hilaire Home and Bite of the Beast, which gives Champion: Beastmaster Hilaire that grants the Champion follower [champion=744].

To unlock these, you'll first need to complete a seemingly unrelated short quest chain in Val'sharah, offered by [npc=107317] at Trueshot Lodge at 41.7 59.99 who gives you the breadcrumb: Lending a Hand. Turn this in to [npc=107372] and do Rising Troubles and Assassin Entrapment. At this point, [npc=113325] should appear beside [npc=107372] and offer you Urgent Summons.

Note that [npc=113325] didn't appear for me until I'd obtained all three artefact weapons.

[npc=107425] is in Highmountain at Cliff's Edge, which is 200 yards NW of The Witchwood flight point at 36.73 35.39. For those without coordinates, that's on the first E of Edge on the map. Hints: You only need one piece of wood per quest to light the fire, berries aren't necessary, you only need four pieces of cooked meat to survive "overnight".

[npc=107316] is Stormheim, just North of Weeping Bluffs, about 300 yards North of the nearest flight path at Skyfire Triage Camp. Hint: Deliver Zoarg's Head to [npc=107460], as [npc=107316] really doesn't want it!

In case you don't have the Flight Path to Bradensbrook, mounting, running off the edge just southwest of the Flight Master at Trueshot Lodge and using a Goblin Glider Kit will be enough to get you there.

After that, just glide towards the village and you'll be there in 2 minutes or so! :D

At some point this quest was changed so that you have to speak to Odan Battlebow to get a flight to Bradensbrook (you don't need the flightpath). If you fly there yourself or otherwise get there without talking to Odan first, you won't actually be able to hand in the quest to Hudson Crawford; he'll just have the grey question mark above his head and will have nothing to say to you.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scouting ReportsLevel 10-45

    In the recent past, our order has spent a lot of time watching and waiting. With you at the helm, we'll be able to focus on our original calling. Take a look around us, <name>. Azeroth needs us now more than ever. The same enemy that led to our formation is threatening us once again.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rising TroublesLevel 10-45

    Our village is swarming with beasts risen from the dead! The abominations never rest! They attack night and day. We're doing our best to keep them at bay, but it's getting to be more than the townsfolk can handle. They're tired and losing their will to fight.
