Belt of Affront, Silent Huntress, Skullslasher, 21g, 8,250 XPDescription
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! We do not suffer ogres or traitors on Forsaken land. Bring me this ogre's head and I will make sure it's burned properly this time.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Call to Arms
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 Gold
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?
