Description

Of course! Lakota Windsong! Why didn't I think of this before? Arnak kidnapped Lakota years ago and tried to force her into being his bride. She managed to escape, but in the chaos of the recent attack on Freewind Post, he took her again. She has to be around here somewhere. She's become quite the mystic in recent years. I'm guessing she'll know what to do with these tauren artifacts.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Grimtotem Chiefs: The Chief of ChiefsThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    The time has come to deal with the leader of the Darkcloud Pinnacle Grimtotem: Arnak Grimtotem. He is the disgraced nephew of Magatha Grimtotem, the Elder Crone and matriarch of the Grimtotem clan. His indiscretions have left him in a state of disfavor with her. None of that matters now.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Invoking the SerpentThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    I am familiar with these artifacts. I believe that they were brought here by Magatha Grimtotem herself. But she's not amongst the Grimtotem on Darkcloud Pinnacle. She disappeared right after she arrived, and no one knows where she is now. Maybe we can find out.
