Just a heads up to anyone not able to see the "!" for the rune to start the quest, click on the tracking icon next to your minimap and be sure to check the box for "Trivial Quests". Seems if you outlevel the zone some quests won't be shown to you anymore.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • While We're HereTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    You know, while we're here, we might as well take care of the Twilight's Hammer intruders. This place used to be ours, after all! I'd help, but with my totems and weapons broken, I'm pretty helpless.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Fiery ReunionTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    That's Magmatooth, my estranged fire elemental. <name>, you gotta kill him or he's gonna kill me! It was all just a big misunderstanding. How was I to know he'd be mad about me "borrowing" his heart down in Deepholm? He can't die... not permanently anyway!
