After turning in the quest, Thrall and Draka have some fun dialogue:
Draka: You fight with much experience, Thrall. Why do you not have a mate?
Thrall: *stammers* I do! I saw that my mate remained behind to care for our little ones.
Draka: You... wanted her to stay? This is war! More than ever, this is when family belongs at your side!
Thrall: I... never looked at it that way.
Draka: What a strange green orc you are.
For several of my beta toons this was the quest that unlocked upgrading the garrison to level 2 (Bigger is Better) before I reached level 93.

Description
Part of me agrees with Karg - we COULD challenge the Iron Wolf right now. My fists clench at the mention of his name. My muscles scream for vengeance. But then, in my heart, I feel Asha. Calming me. Guiding me. I do not deserve her wisdom, but it is a gift I will not waste. <Lokra squints at the sky.> Durotan and the others will be gathering at your garrison about now. We should meet them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Master Siegesmith
Not long ago, the most advanced weapon a Thunderlord could make was a really, really big spear. The Blackrock orcs must have shipped in a fearsome master to have them producing cannons so rapidly. We need to find that master.

Thunder's Fall has 10 steps, from Securing the South to Return to the Pack.
