Description

We owe you our freedom, and more. I have spoken to the others, we are willing to return with you to your garrison and teach those pitiful creatures you call "soldiers" how to properly fight.

We will also do our best to impart our knowledge to you, Commander. Should you have need of us when in the wilds of Gorgrond, simply call us.

You may wish to warn Rangari Jonaa of our coming.

Bugged as of 13/11/2014 - he isn't where the quest said he should be. Also tried using Champion's honour, but it doesn't let me hand the quest in.

Reported as a bug.

EDIT:

I got DC'd a few times and about an hour later Rangari Jonaa was where the quest marker said he would be.

People have reported this bug on official forums during the beta, seems to be an issue with phasing.

So keep trying to maybe leave the area and come back and see if he appears.

Good luck.

  • The Axe of Kor'gallGorgrond · Level 15-40

    Time for vengeance! We are going to kill Kor'gall and you are going to take his axe. Shatter this feeble barrier, follow the bridge beyond until you reach the chieftain's throne. You freed us, so the honor of first blood is yours. Strike the first blow and we will join you in the cutting.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Chapter III: Ritual of the CharredGorgrond · Level 15-40

    I have seen a strange ritual performed by ancients. They step into fire, burning the leaves from their branches and charring their bark. I call it the Ritual of the Charred. If we want to weaken the ancients, we can get rid of them before they become even stronger. - Frenna
