Description

Listen, <name>. I found out what they're doing with Jarod Shadowsong. He's scheduled to be sacrificed by the ogres of the Twilight's Hammer as part of this year's initiation.

I heard that the initiate charged with delivering the speech ahead of the sacrifice is an ogre named Okrog, but get this: you were a close second.

We need you to deliver that speech if we're to free Jarod. Don't worry -- I'll write you some cue cards -- just make sure Okrog has an "accident" as he leaves the Seat of the Chosen.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Twilight TerritoryMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    The demons of the Burning Legion think they can just walk up here and take whatever territory they want. Sure -- the territory was previously theirs, but that's beside the point. We'll teach them not to cross the Twilight's Hammer.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Head of the ClassMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    That settles it, "<name>damus!" You are head of your class! You will get a chance to address a crowd of the most fanatical, bloodthirsty and certifiably insane people on this planet.
