Total War is a Horde-only quest for level 30-35 in Twilight Highlands. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.
Some of the Wildhammer still cling to the hope of reclaiming the Thundermar Ruins to the north, across the river. Burn them out! Smash open kegs of Thundermar ale. That wicked brew is potent enough to explode when set aflame.
Don't ask me why.
And don't ask me how they drink the stuff.

you destroy the ale?
you savages!
This is why the rum is gone.
the most annoying part of this quest is that:
A: you cant smash the barrels if you are in combat for some stupid reason (OJO: not if you're being attacked, just being in combat makes it imposible to smash them untill you are out of combat entirely)
B: Smashing even 1 barrel automatically puts you in the aggro list of EVERY SINGLE DWARF IN 50 YARDS, meaning..... yep, you guessed it, places you in combat. IN fact, 1 dwarf WILL go directly to attack you, and after you kill him/her, the others will still have you on their aggrolist, so you wont be able to smash more untill those are dead too.
This makes it very annoying, because after killing all dwarfs in the area, you got at most 15 secs to loot at the food, medals, and smash all the barrels before they return. Plus once you are in combat, you cant smash the other barrels, but other players can, forcing you to find others to smash, and the last insulting touch is that the alliance players can just drink from the barrels without aggroing a single,orc. So while u're there serving as a piñata for all the dwarves in the aera, a single alliance player can swoop in, smash all the barrels, get a nice damage buff, and fly out.
Unfairness is unfair.
