OMG! Could this be reference to Modest Mouse?

“Nothing can be created out of nothing”
Lucretius

“Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing.”
Persius

“You come into the world with nothing, and the purpose of your life is to make something out of nothing”
Henry Louis Mencken

Alas, the general phrase has been around just a tiny bit longer than Modest Mouse.

Edit:

Hell, even Air Supply used it.

What to do

StorylineZul'Drak, step 8 of 79
Rewards4,100 XP

Description

Prince Navarius must be stopped. We can't let the Scourge continue to use this area as a zombie factory. If we can get the tank operational we might stand a chance. What I need right now are spare parts. Northwest of here is an area called Thrym's End. The Scourge armies are using the area as a base of sorts. Spread out across the base is the wreckage from their arrival. Bits and pieces of Scourge scrap metal litter the landscape. Get that stuff to me and I'll try and put it to good use.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • That's What Friends Are For...Zul'Drak · Level 20-30

    We were attacked by Prince Navarius and at least a dozen Scourge. I told Dargath and the twins to stay inside the tank, but they wouldn't listen. Dargath looked me in the eyes and said, "If somebody doesn't get out of this tank, they'll kill us all." He then made Reed cut the engine and charged.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Light Won't Grant Me VengeanceZul'Drak · Level 20-30

    They... They killed my brother. <Gerk fights back tears.> Slaughtered him like he was some sort of animal. Now they got him laid out on one of their tables on the other side of the camp, ready for their grisly experiments. Dargath's dead too.
