with "You don't meet the requirements for that quest". Don't panic.

You must by this time have finished Stebben's quests, listed above.

Description

{name}, it's Troteman. I want you to hold onto that horn. I'm sure we can improvise and find a way to work it into the plan. I'm more than a little concerned about what Kaoshin said about attacking Redridge. We knew another attack was imminent, but our timetables were off by several days. Return to me, with the horn. We will talk again here, in Chiselgrip. And try not to ruin that disguise. You're not done with your undercover work yet.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Kodocaller's HornBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    Alright, I've got some actual, legitimate, important work for you. We've got to call the kodos in from the grazing lands to the south. General Thorg'izog says we'll be moving out into Redridge soon, and I won't be caught with my kodos down. Use this horn near a kodo.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • General Thorg'izogBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    Kaoshin turned out to be more helpful than I expected, but we're done with him. It's time you spoke with the General. I think you're ready. General Thorg'izog is one of the "big three" that run the ground forces here in Burning Steppes. He does so from the Blackrock Stronghold to the northwest.
