These two at once: Warlocks Have the Neatest Stuff and Shadow Boxing

Then:
Return to Keeshan
Chiselgrip, the Heart of the Steppes

Enables these quests, which must be completed before General Thor'izog in the main chain:
Prove Yer Allegiance

with "You don't meet the requirements for that quest". Don't panic.

You must by this time have finished Stebben's quests, listed above.

Blackened Ashes
A Heap of Delicious Worg
Latent Demons of the Land

A Deal with a Dragon

Given when third one above is completed: Placing the Pawns

Description

I suppose I'll make the most of this situation. These goblin mercenaries brought this enormous fire elemental to my stronghold as a "thank you" for hiring them. What am I going to do with an elemental here in the steppes? That's like bringing sand to the beach. If you're looking for work, then prove yourself. Talk to this goblin here, and challenge his elemental to a fight. The victor earns my respect, and my time.

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.

  • General Thorg'izogBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    Kaoshin turned out to be more helpful than I expected, but we're done with him. It's time you spoke with the General. I think you're ready. General Thorg'izog is one of the "Big Three" that run the Blackrock forces here in Burning Steppes. He leads from the Blackrock Stronghold to the northwest.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Abuse of PowerBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    <name>? Troteman here. It sounds like you have earned Thorg'izog's trust, and he's assigned you to discipline duty. This is fortunate. We need you to take out his sergeants. You'll find them on wolfback, outside of the Blackrock Stronghold in the Fields of Honor.
