Could see where this was going a mile away. Even before you place the third totem.
I like this questline, though. Helps that, unlike some heritage questlines, you have Jani's wonderful piles of trash to take you where you need to go, quickly. But overall I think the Darkspear Trolls have interesting elements that don't get explored enough, especially with the death of Vol'jin and the introduction of Zandalari Trolls to the story and Horde.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Rush'kah
When we make de rush'kah, we recreate de shape of the loa as we be seein' dem in our mind. By knowing the shape of de loa, we better understand who dey are. But de mask be shaped by our hands, so when de loa sees it, dey know what we expect dem to be.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Retraining the Trainees
Your witch doctor is trying to twist the trial to empower Mueh'zala. Many will be enthralled by this power, but we still stand with the Darkspear. I had a different trial in mind. Now, we adapt. Free your fellow trolls from his sacrificial magic.
