What to do
Description
When we hauled up here to get away from the raptors, we put ourselves right next to a whole slew of Dragonmaw orcs! I've heard the stories in Menethil, how the Dragonmaw are even cruder barbarians than other orcs, how they strangle black dragons with their bare hands... I don't know how much of it's true, but I know we can't just let 'em sit up here in the hills. You've got the chops for it, {name}. Head east to the Angerfang Encampment, take care of those orcs, and make sure you get their leader!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tooling Around
I'm in charge of supplying this dig. It's not that bad, but having to pick up and move out so fast wasn't exactly ideal! Archaeologists need tools, you know. You can't run around pulling up priceless antiquities with your bare hands.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mired in Hatred
The mirebeasts to the west are not my brethren... they are symptoms of the earth's disturbance, a foulness of rot given form. You would not understand... they take the shape of my kind, infested within with decaying spores, forcing out flourished life in the swamp. They take all and leave only rot.
