Description
During one of our recent battles, my brother, Lohrumn, was slain. His armor was taken by the drogbar. You would honor his memory by retrieving what has been stolen. I will make it worth your while, leatherworker.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tauren Tanning
Have you heard of the Highmountain tauren tribes? They're not unlike the tauren we know on Kalimdor. I've heard they have a leatherworking master there who might be able to help us come up with some new patterns.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Drogbar Durability
We are currently at war with a race known as the drogbar. We have long maintained peace with the drogbar, but lately, they have no respect for anyone but themselves. Slay them. Prove your worth as an ally of the tauren. Do this, and I will reward you with knowledge.
