Man, it was like pulling teeth to get these teeth! I finished In Defense of the King's Lands and long before I was able to finally loot enough teeth.

What to do
Description
{class}, you may or may not be aware of the trogg threat looming over dwarven lands. With the Ironforge Reserve called up to the Alliance Front, we're left with a fraction of the defense forces needed to keep these lands safe. My regiment is assigned to watch over the town here and we cannot leave our post for fear of invasion. But we need some pressure put on those damned troggs lurking in the hills. If you're up to the task, wage an assault on the troggs. Bring me back eight trogg stone teeth as proof.

Due to the poor dental hygiene of the Troggs, you must have damaged alot of the teeth trying to pull them. I suggest attending dental school prior to the quest to ensure you extract the tooth more completely.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In Defense of the King's Lands
We need to protect the Loch, <name>! With so many of the King's soldiers fighting valiantly on remote battlefields, we've become overwhelmed on the home front. Troggs are tunneling up from every crevice! The trogg infestation poses the largest threat to Ironforge.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bigger and Uglier
The Mountaineers tell me you are quite brave and capable, <name>. We need a <race> like you around here. The Trogg problem isn't getting any better. The reserves have been called to the front and we're all alone out here. But now that we have a seasoned <class> here, let's see what you can do.
