Obviously, Saurfang will only say this is you have the Scarab Lord title. The reason he would recognise you is because Saurfang was the supreme commander of the forces in the AQ War Effort, so he won't be forgetting the guy who rang that gong.

Description

It seems that we always meet in the direst of circumstances, Scarab Lord. Were you not saving the world from certain destruction the last time we met? <Saurfang chuckles.> Your assistance is most welcome in Northrend, despite what the young chieftain might say. If we had even a dozen more soldiers with your power, we would be sitting in Orgrimmar right now, hunched over a warm fire. Report to Overlord Razgor, right outside the main entry to Warsong Hold, to the south.

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.

    Throm-Ka, <race>! Welcome to Warsong Hold. My heart swells with pride to see that such a distinguished hero of the Horde has answered the call of duty! This impregnable fortress is a testament to the tenacity of the Horde. Through much we have battled to establish this foothold in Northrend.
