Description

For years, the Barrens have been the heart of the Horde presence on Kalimdor, a vital link between the orcs of Durotar and the tauren settlements in Mulgore.

In the chaos of the cataclysm, floods, earthquakes, and even a quilboar invasion threaten to separate us from this vital grassland.

You look ready for a challenge. Report to Kargal Battlescar at Far Watch Post and ensure the route to the Barrens remains clear! Head west from nearby Razor Hill and cross the Southfury River to find him.

If you are having problems finding this quest, and have not completed any quests that would block you (Warchief's Command: Northern Barrens, or the followup quests for the Conscript Breadcrumb - Defense of Far Watch and Far Watch Offensive), you have a possible solution.

Change your Chromie Time to CATACLYSM and he should have the quest for you! (as well as a few others in that room you might not have picked up).
