Description

<The head of Nezzliok speaks.>

It is true. I know where the child of the Darkspears was taken. You have bested me and bound my spirit, but I will say nothing without appeasement!

The Bloodscalps war with the Skullsplitters. To gain my favor, steal two of their most-prized trophy skulls from the Skullsplitters across the river to the east. Place them here with us, so that my spirit will have slaves in the Nether. One skull must be from their trophy pile in Balia'mah, the other from Ziata'jai.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Nezzliok Will KnowNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Yenniku was not among the heads, and I thank the Great Serpent for it. But we are no closer to finding him. We must know the truth, and I fear that only the Bloodscalp witchdoctor will know it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Chasing Yenniku's FateNorthern Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    <Nezzliok speaks.> You have appeased myself and my chief, so I will tell you that which you seek to discover... Young Yenniku is lost to his clan. He was taken by the witchdoctor Zanzil the Outcast. Now Zanzil controls him, body and soul, and only the most potent magic could set him free.
