TheWoWDBI felt terrible turning this quest in, especially as a tauren druid myself. The tauren didn't deserve this.

Ugh, I suddenly hate the krom'gar. Killing is never right but I have chosen sides: The tauren didn't deserve this.
Too bad this horrible quest gives XP :P
I agree. As a Tauren warrior it just didn't feel right. I was really blown away by what I saw when I got back to Cliffwalker Post.

Description
Perhaps if you spoke to Overlord Krom'gar, {name}. Maybe he would listen to what you had to say? You are a Champion in his army, after all. You saw everything. Please help us, {name}. We simply wish to be left alone - in peace. Talk to Overlord Krom'gar and try to help him see that we did not mean for any of this to happen.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Is This Justice?
He was a good boy, <name>. Young, loving. He would have never killed any of the young druids. They were his friends! No... Not Orthus. The General must be called to answer for this crime. I will have justice!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Might Makes Right
You have done well to report this crime. The perpetrators of this heinous act will be punished. There will be blood. I will need a new General now that Grebo is dead. You shall take his place. Meet me at Cliffwalker Post, General. Together we will end this nonsense.
