Description
Our brothers and sisters across the water are now our mortal enemies. They have kidnapped our tadpoles, driven us out of our village, and killed more of us than I can count. Prove yourself, {race}! Swim across the rift and slay them! Despite the favor that the new king has shown you, only then will we consider accepting you here. Fail to do so, and you might as well leave now and never return!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Oh Noes, the Tadpoles!
Oh good, you're back! When the landslide at the village across the water exposed the caverns, a malevolent lobstrok, known as Claximus, came out of the caves and stole the Winterfin tadpoles away.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- I'm Being Blackmailed By My Cleaner
I have something embarrassing to admit: I'm being blackmailed! Mrmrglmr agreed to clean some of my things, and got hold of my spare murloc costume. He's threatening to reveal my true nature to the other murlocs. I need not explain to you what a disaster that would be!
