If you have raised your rep with Ogril'a, these ogres will appear neutral to you. However, you can still kill them and you will NOT lose rep.

They just say "King *name*, me die now" and other lines like that.

Description

There is a threat to Thunderlord Stronghold worse than the Alliance at Sylvanaar. I speak of the ogres of these mountains. Just to the west, down in the ravine, lies the Bladespire clan. While they aren't the only ogres, they are the closest and they're the ones that we defeated to take this place. Head north through the Jagged Ridge, and then down the path, which leads to their hold. Slay as many of the Bladespire ogres and their raptors as you can at Bladespire Hold and the Bladespire Grounds.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Protecting Our OwnBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    With the magical dust you recovered, I have fashioned a magic ointment that will aid in our own defenses. Our dire wolves are the perfect combination of mount, sentry and friend, but the Alliance scum have been poaching them in the Jagged Ridge.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Thunderlord Clan ArtifactsBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    The artifact bears markings that indicate its origins as being created by the Thunderlord clan orcs. These orcs used to live at Thunderlord Stronghold before they were changed into fel orcs. For a time the Bladespire ogres inhabited the stronghold until recently when the Horde pushed them out.
