Durotan: Orgrim! Brother, what have you done?

Orgrim: Brother? You have allied with enemy invaders, Durotan. You've chosen your side.

Durotan: Can you not see it? The Iron Horde will destroy Draenor!

Orgrim: My visions show me otherwise.

Durotan: See reason, old friend. You must stop this lunacy!

Orgrim: War is not a time for reason. Lieutenant, deal with them.

I cannot believe Orgrim would continue to do Blackhand's bidding after all the destruction he has wrought. We must confront him. Join me at the village along Orunai Coast and we will confront my oldest friend.

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.
