Description

Or'Kalar leads the ogres here. He has evaded slaughter for years. His very presence is an affront to the Dark Lady; Mug'thol, traitor to the Forsaken, commands him from afar!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Call to ArmsArathi Highlands · Level 10-30

    Our next strike against the ogres will bring you further east to Stromgarde. The living consider these gutted ruins worth clinging to. Their sentimentality is disgusting! All that Stromgarde holds for us is a foul den of more ogres, waiting to be struck down.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Worth Its Weight in GoldArathi Highlands · Level 10-30

    Archmage Malin sent me here to collect reagents for him. I was at a loss as to how I was going to collect the items, but now that you're here, I think my problem's solved. I need Witherbark tusks and Witherbark medicine pouches. Could you find those for me?
