Quest Log

The Grimtotem Plot

The Grimtotem Plot is a Horde-only quest for level 15-30 in Dustwallow Marsh. It is step 68 of 83 in the Dustwallow Marsh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dustwallow Marsh at 36.4, 31.9. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

With the activities of the Grimtotems in Thousand Needles brought to light, many tauren now regard them with suspicion. We've seen high-ranking Grimtotems engage in murder and kidnapping to advance their interests and I fear we may become their next target.

Blackhoof Village, to the northeast, near Bluefen, is a large new Grimtotem settlement. Their leaders, the elders, will all have orders from Thunder Bluff. See if you can capture the orders and piece them together to learn the Grimtotems' plans.

Although Duskwallow Marsh has had some of its lore updated, this quest remains out of date. Specifically it makes no mention to Magatha's treachery or the Grimtotems attempted siege of Thunder Bluff, which is a shame as I would have enjoyed more lore on that. :-)

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to KrogDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    I hope I've been helpful to you and I'm sorry I can't offer more information. My apprentices and I produce such a large volume of arms and armor that it's almost impossible to recall details about any individual piece.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • More than CoincidenceDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    We've gleaned as much as we can from the ruins of the inn. I'm concerned about where the investigation will lead us from here, but we must know the truth. Between the hoofprints and the shield with Mosarn's mark, I'm led to believe that the Grimtotems may have been involved.
