TheWoWDBI personally prefer to double dip this with Blood of the Chosen, the Warsong Offensive daily to kill 20 Ymirheim vrykul. All the vrykul actually in Ymirheim count for this quest too. You can't triple dip with Assault by Ground, as the vrykul blocking the ascent count for Blood but not for this quest, but you can double dip in rapid succession. If you have requirements for this quest left over after completing Blood, consider double dipping with Slaves to Saronite, as the Val'kyr guarding the mine also count toward this quest. You can get all these quests by flying from the tournament grounds southwest to the bombardment, into Orgrim's Hammer, grabbing Blood and Slaves, continuing southwest, grabbing Assault, and continuing from the end of assault southwest into Ymirheim. Once done, feel free to do King of the Mountain on your way to Battle Before the Citadel. On your way back you can turn them all in without dismounting from your flier.
I've just completed the first valiant stage, so I find out tonight whether taking this with the valiant version(troll version linked for maximum awesomeness) allows me to triple dip, completing this quest, its valiant version, and Blood all at once. I will report back when I find out. If so, that is some efficient money/reputation generation for something that's not terribly boring to do.

As you advance from Aspirant to Valiant to Champion within the Argent Tournament, there will be dailies available for killing the Scourge of Icecrown. The Aspirant version requires 8 kills, the Valiant 10, and the Champion 15. Prior to 3.2, you could kill most types of Scourge in Icecrown for credit, but now only the Cult of the Damned counts. Thus, it is no longer possible to kill the same mobs to complete both the Valiant and Champion quests.
This particular quest is for Horde Champions of all classes but death knights. As for all the Champion quests, the Writ reward is for purchasing reputation for the individual city factions from their quartermasters, while the Purse pays out a flat 10g reward. Thus if you are an Ambassador of the Horde, always go for the purse. The other champion versions of this quest include:
- Alliance
- Horde Death Knights
- Alliance Death Knights
As of this morning at least the one I have after being exalted with The Sunreavers doing all of the other faction quests, this had me killing 15 Cult of the Damned members (i.e. Dark Zealots, Dark Ritualists, etc. up around 62, 20.

Description
The coliseum is perched in the most dangerous part of the world, {name}. The territory we've taken from the Scourge has been paid for in blood and misery, yet the enemy continues to strike back with a seemingly limitless army. To make matters worse, this undead army is supported and assisted by mortal sympathizers, the Cult of the Damned. Go forth into Icecrown and slay any cultists you encounter.
