Description

The time has come to put an end to this unnatural situation, {name}. For the Winterfin murlocs to have a chance at a future, Claximus must die! I want you to take my spare murloc suit and enter the Winterfin Caverns under the pretext of surrender. With the white flag in hand, the murlocs won't attack you. You'll find him in the southwestern most corner of the caverns. Once you get close enough, deal with Claximus. Bring me one of his claws as proof that the grisly deed has been done.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Spare SuitBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Very well, your king's secret is safe with me as long as he continues to help us against our enemies. Here, take this to him. I cleaned it up nicely, though I have no idea why he needs a second disguise. Maybe he has something in mind for you?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Keymaster UrmgrglBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I have to get out of these caverns! There's magic stuff seeping in from Coldarra, above, and affecting everyone's minds. I don't intend to be controlled like these others! Keymaster Urmgrgl is in the cave below and to the south. He holds the key to my cage.
