I originally posted this under Hero of the Mag'har, the former end of the chain. Since this is the final quest I'll repost it here. Please rate me up(original was up to +222)

This Quest Chain starts in Hellfire with The Assassin. This requires you are able to speak to Nazgrel which means you will have to have done at least some of the level 58 outland Quests*.

1. The Assassin
2. A Strange Weapon
3. The Warchief's Mandate
4. A Spirit Guide
5. The Mag'har
6. Messenger to Thrall
7. Envoy to the Mag'har

Also given at this point are the following, but is not necessary to complete the Hero chain. They are very nice rep rewards for each so you may want to do them since you’re there anyway.

1. A Debilitating Sickness
2. Administering the Salve

The next part leads you to Jorin Dead Eye in Garadar, Nagrand.

1. The Impotent Leader
2. Don't Kill the Fat One
3. Success!
4. Because Kilrath is a Coward
5. Message in a Battle

1a. Armaments for Deception
1b. Ruthless Cunning
2a. Returning the Favor
2b. Body Of Evidence
3. Message to Garadar

You will also need to complete The following Unrelated Quests.
1. The Totem of Kar’dash

which is a simple escort quest beginning with the Mag'har Captive in one of the buildings of Sunspring Post.

The second part involves Altruis the Sufferer who is right by the Mag’har captive so these are good quests to do together.

1. Survey the Land
2. Buying Time
3. The Master Planner
4. Patience and Understanding
5. Crackin' Some Skulls
6. It's Just That Easy?
7. Forge Camp: Annihilated

This unlocks the final sequence which returns you to Garrosh . He sends you finally to visit Greatmother Geyah .

5. A Visit With The Ancestors

*War drums echo in the distance.
Thrall yells: At long last, I am home...

(About 6 minutes later)

Thrall says: Greatmother...

Greatmother Geyah says: I have been expecting you, young one. Come closer - my eyes are not as sharp as they once were.
Greatmother Geyah says: Yes, you move like my son. You have his broad shoulders - ahh, and your mother's fierce eyes.

Thrall says: Greatmother...Am I...

Greatmother Geyah says: There is no doubt - you are the heir of Durotan... my grandson. Draka told me she was with child before she and your father left our world, but I never dared dream that they would survive...

Thrall says: They... did not, Greatmother. They were killed shortly after I was born. I never knew them. I was raised as a slave. To this day, I carry the name of Thrall.

Greatmother Geyah says: Thrall? You've been a slave only to the past, grandson! But no more! When last I saw him, Durotan told me the name he would give his unborn son... He was... so proud...
*Greatmother Geyah wipes a tear away.
Greatmother Geyah says: Go'el. You are Go'el, son of Durotan - rightful chieftain of the Frostwolves. This day, grandson - you are the great joy of my heart.

Thrall says: I have dreamed of this moment all my life, Greatmother. 'Till now, all I've had were Orgrim's stories about my parents and their adventures on Draenor. He was my greatest teacher and dearest friend. He died a hero... They all died as heroes - and for all of them, a song of honor remains.

Greatmother Geyah says: I see that you hold the Doomhammer. Have all of our greatest heroes fallen, grandson?

Thrall says: They died honorably, Greatmother.
Greatmother Geyah says: What of Grommash? What of Hellscream?

Thrall says: He died our greatest hero. It was Grom who freed us all... I was by his side when he struck down Mannoroth and ended the curse forever.

Greatmother Geyah says: Blessed spirits! For twenty years, all we knew was that Grom was the first to drink from the cursed chalice and bring damnation down upon our people... It is the only truth his son, Garrosh has ever known.

Greatmother Geyah says: Grandson, will you... Will you tell Garrosh what you have told me about his father?

Thrall says: Tell him? Greatmother, that boy's father died so that all of us could live free of the blood curse. I will tell him nothing. I will show him! Show him and any that would doubt Hellscream's resolve exactly what Grom Hellscream did for all orcs!
Thrall says: Please excuse me, Greatmother. I will return soon.

(Thrall walks down to Garrosh, then leads him to the spirit circle)

Thrall yells: Spirits give me strength! Take from my soul these old wounds and expose them for all to see! Let this child know his father! Let these people know their savior!

(Thrall summons a sort of miniature version of the fight with Mannoroth in the spirit circle)

*Mannoroth laughs.
Mannoroth says: So predictable. I knew you would come. And I see you've brought the mighty Hellscream.
Mannoroth says: His blood is mine, as is your whole misbegotten race.
Thrall roars in defiance.

(Mannoroth strikes down Thrall)

Mannoroth says: A worthy effort, but futile.
*Mannoroth laughs.
Mannoroth says: The boy believed you could be saved, but he didn't know what burns within your soul when in your heart, you know we are the same.

Grom Hellscream says: NOOOO!

(Hellscream and Mannoroth strike each other down, Thrall gets back up)

Grom Hellscream says: Thrall... The blood haze has lifted.
*Grom's eyes go dim as the blood curse is lifted.
Grom Hellscream says: The demon's fire has burnt out in my veins. I have... freed myself.

Thrall says: No, old friend. You've freed us all...

Garrosh collapses.
Garrosh says: For my entire life I have thought my bloodline cursed. I have lived beneath the shadow of my father's greatest failure.
Garrosh says: I hated him for what he had done. I hated him for the burden he left me. But now...
Garrosh says: You have shown me truths that I would have never known. You and your allies have gifted me with something that cannot bear a price: Redemption. Thrall, redeemer of the Mag'har, you honor me as none ever have...
Garrosh says: On this day, a great burden has been lifted from my chest. My heart swells with pride. And for the first time, I can proudly proclaim who I am. I can finally unleash the fury in my heart.
Garrosh yells: I am Garrosh Hellscream, son of Grom, chieftain of the Mag'har! Let the battle call of Hellscream give you courage and strength! Be lifted by my rallying cry.

(Everyone gets Hellscream's Warsong buff)

Garrosh says: Thank you, son of Durotan.

Thrall places a hand on Garrosh's shoulder.
Thrall says: You need not thank me, Garrosh. Your father was a brother to me. I would do anything for you and the Mag'har. I must now return to the Greatmother.

(Thrall walks back to the Greatmother)

Thrall says: I have returned, Greatmother. Garrosh has found his heart and his fury.

What to do

Description

You are an honorable {race}, {name}. You have done much for the Mag'har. No one could ever deny your service to my people. Alas, the time of the Mag'har is at an end. You have shown me, more than anything, that I am unfit to lead these people. My cursed blood runs too deep. I will not... I cannot become the second Hellscream to damn the orcs. Please, {name}, return to the Greatmother and tell her what I have told you. I am too ashamed to see her... to look into her eyes.
