StorylineThunder's Fall, step 1 of 10
Rewards1g 69s 80c, 675 XP

Description

We have an outpost to the southeast that was boxed in by Thunderlord forces as they marched through the canyons to Wor'gol. I have sent reinforcements to secure the outpost and press east to Grom'gar. We will push the Thunderlords out of our lands completely, and pursue them all the way back to that reeking corpse they call home. Draka's sister, Lokra, was among the orcs who volunteered to clean up Stonefang Outpost.

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.

  • They Who Held FastFrostfire Ridge · Level 10-40

    The siege has been broken - they underestimated the resilience of Stonefang, and our reinforcement wave from Bladespire caught them completely off-guard. Once we finish cleaning up here, we rally anyone who can still fight and prepare to march for Grom'gar.
