The [npc=73205] might de-spawn if she's rooted/snared with no targets within melee range, if this happens she will re-spawn within a minute.
Way to honor her... They asked for her to be buried at the graveyard and she gets dumped and a little snow half ass thrown over her with parts of her sticking out everywhere. What happens come spring? LMAO!

Description
I believe we have seen this demonic corruption your friends speak of. The Mother of Wolves has not been herself lately. Now, her pack has her surrounded. The wolves are protecting our hunters and will not let them near. They're not likely to stop you, though. If the alpha mother is infected with this fel-energy, then she must be put down. You would greatly honor the Frostwolves by returning with her corpse and giving it a proper burial.

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.
- Safe Passage
Being a human and a night elf, the archmage and I aren't likely to be well-received by the orcs of the Frostwolf clan. We need you to make an introduction for us with the Throm'var farseer. There is much to discuss. Shall I bring you up to speed on the way to the village?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Eye Need That
The Mother of Wolves was infected with demon magic. The Shadow Council must have hoped to spread the corruption to the other frost wolves and then to Throm'var. The hunters are reporting they've seen glowing green eyes down in the Icescar Boneyard to the west. We both know what that means.
