Description

I have no time for my brother's whimpering. We hunt for vengeance or death.

The Thunderlord chieftain slew my father and left me for dead, so I shall take his three sons, the first of which is this runt in my hand.

This filth has revealed the number and positions of the Thunderlords in the ravine beyond.

Join us, if you dare, and you will witness how real warriors of the Frostwolf clan fight. Get in my way, and I will end you.

Figured it out..

1. Accept the quest.
2. Then talk to the quest giver, let him know you are ready.
3. Do not go down , wait for quest giver to go down , then his followers will go down
4. Now go down , trailing his followers.
5. Near bottom, you'll get that 1/1 and that you confronted him.
6. At this point, don't walk away or anything as this is the most important part to finish quest.
7. After a small scuffle (which you have to JOIN IN and get in combat), he will take the head
of the guy holding the banner and drag him across the floor (quite gruesome ) . Follow him
and he will stop ahead a few hundred yarts and curse him and his father, etc. At this point
A battle will ensue as adds will rush in, fight them off with quest giver and his followers.
after a few bum rushes youll get reinforcements part finished...
After a few MORE bumrushes, you'll get the 2nd part of the reinforcements quest finished.

Voila, finished.. Good Luck

While working through this questline, it all seemed a little familiar, and it wasn't long before I realized why.

Ga'nar is basically Achilles, who runs out recklessly to avenge those slain in the Trojan War. Achilles drags Hector's body face down, much the same as Ga'nar does during his quest line in Frostfire Ridge. A lot of the things he says are very similar to what Achilles says in The Iliad.

If I get a chance to do this quest line over again, I'll write a more in-depth post, but this entire questline was basically an Orc retelling of The Iliad.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ga'nar's VengeanceFrostfire Ridge · Level 10-40

    My brother's head is as thick as his axe and he is as stubborn as a gronn. When Ga'nar left he took with him some of the finest warriors in the clan and headed north to the Daggermaw Ravine. If they are still out there, you must find them. Ga'nar will not listen to me.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Leave Nothing Behind!Frostfire Ridge · Level 10-40

    The Thunderlord clan has become a thorn in my side I will no longer tolerate. Go east and leave none alive! Burn their supplies! Leave them nothing to cling to. Converge on the Savage Crag to the east when it is done.
