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 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.
