Note that this quest is TAUREN ONLY.

This is the only "Tauren race required Mulgore quest" as of 9.1 as far as I know.

I wasn't able to pick this up with my Highmountain Tauren.

So if you're not a "traditional tauren" this is where the questline ends for you unfortunately.

    <name>, my brother soon stands before Chief Bloodhoof, and it is my honor to make his headdress for him. I want to ask a favor of you while I finish tanning these leather straps. There is not time for me to find enough feathers, and I was wondering, would you gather more for me?

    There is but one water well left to cleanse, named after the Wildmane clan. For this well to be pure, the land must offer the teeth of a fierce predator, the prairie wolf alpha. Find the alphas to the north, then return to me when your hunt is finished.
