Description

Lo'Gosh granted me a vision while you were in the hovel, <name>. I saw you striding across the Lightning Ledge, with lightning bolts in your hand. The vision was powerful: Lo'Gosh feels this is of utmost importance. We must not fail the ancient.

Upon the Lightning Ledge, Twilight's Hammer has been experimenting with devices they call "Lightning Channels."

Investigate one of these channels, then use this totem to summon the Spirit of Lo'Gosh and learn what the ancient is planning...

So, you get the jar, which are just these tiki light looking things on lightning ledge. Then you have to use the emblem to summon the wolf - Goldrinn to turn in the quest. Took me a minute to figure out where the hell you turn in the quest once it is complete.

  • Cleaning HouseMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    We are well on our way to returning the shrine to its former glory, <name>. But there is some housecleaning to take care of. On the other side of this meadow, some ogre squatters are setting up camp, led by a thick-headed chunk of ugly by the name of Gar'gol.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gar'gol's Gotta GoMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    <Kristoff cranes his neck, trying to look you in the eye.> Listen, you gotta get me outta here. They're either going to eat me or turn me over to the Twilight's Hammer. Maybe both. They've padlocked me in, and Gar'gol keeps the key in his personal treasure chest.
