This is a straightforward quest, just walk Lokra to Karg on the north side of Grom'gar.

During the trip Lokra shares some information about the location.

Lokra says: Grom'gar. Built in the corpse of a colossus. Look at the size of that thing...
Lokra says: Can you imagine a live colossus? They say this was the last one, and the Thunderlord clan took it down generations ago.
Lokra says: There he is! Karg!
Karg Bloodfury says: Lokra! My love! What are you doing here?
Lokra says: What's it look like? Saving your hide!

What to do

StorylineThunder's Fall, step 5 of 10
RewardsKarg's Hunting Horn, Asha's Fang, Lokra's Fury, 16g 98s, 5,450 XP

Description

Asha has passed, but we share a bond that cannot be severed by death. Even now, her spirit urges me onward to Grom'gar. The Iron Wolf claims our attachments make us weak... that love makes us vulnerable. He is wrong. Karg is my strength, and I his. I will free him from his chains, and together we will show the Thunderlord clan the strength of our bonds.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Moving TargetFrostfire Ridge · Level 10-40

    Karg's captors are moving east - probably retreating to Grom'gar with their tails between their legs! They think they outrun me, but Asha here is the fastest thing on four legs. We'll run them down in the Icewind Drifts.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where's My Wolf?!Frostfire Ridge · Level 10-40

    My frost wolf, Nerok, was captured with me and the others. I do not know where they are keeping him, but I'll bet the so-called "beastmaster" who dragged us here does. He is at the beast pens nearby, boasting about his catch to the younger hunters. We'll see how he boasts with my axe in his skull.

Thunder's Fall has 10 steps, from Securing the South to Return to the Pack.
