Also likely to be a reference to the movie of the same name about the Maori of New Zealand. Like the Hawaiians, the Maori have a history of great warriors before being eventually overcome by European invaders.

31, 42 Is spot on. It's the Sunspring Post camp. Just kill everythign you see :)
this movie does NOT display the heritage of new zealand or polynesians in general. being a kiwi ive seen the movie several times, and its about domestic violence and the ongoing chain it creates. VERY brutal but true movie about what happens all over the world, should watch it.-when i saw the quest name however-i instantly thought "cool, just like the movie back home"-lol

What to do
Description
I do not know you, stranger, but I ask for your help. I feel shame for this, but I am only one orc. Emotions have surfaced that I have never felt. I... I seek vengeance. Blood for blood. Do your people ever feel this? I wish to pick up my axe and split my enemies in two. To swing the weapon until my arms fall lifelessly at my sides, exhausted. Sunspring Post is directly south of this procession. It is there that you will find our enemies... Kill them... Kill them all...

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.
- Murkblood Leaders...
We have lost many friends in recent weeks. For decades we have dealt with the ogres of Nagrand but now a new threat has arisen. The Broken tribe of Murkblood attacked our fishing village to the southwest, Sunspring Post, and managed to kill or evict all of the orcs that inhabited the town.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- He Will Walk The Earth...
Will you do me one last honor, <name>? I do not wish to return to Garadar. I believe that my destiny lies elsewhere - that I will serve a greater purpose someday. Please, return to Farseer Corhuk and tell him that I will not be returning. That I cannot return. I must walk the earth...
