What to do

StorylineThe Bloodtotem Tribe, step 2 of 14
Rewards20g 22s, 6,150 XP

Description

You saved me at Riverbend not long ago. It is the reason I vouched for you as emissary to this tribe, and the only reason you're alive here now. I consider my debt to you paid. You must prove yourself to the Bloodtotem chieftain before he will speak with you. Within the forest is the Witch of the Wood, a harpy mother who recently descended into this territory. If you are able to defeat her and show her carcass to the Bloodtotem, they might allow you an audience with Torok.

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.

  • The Bloodtotem TribeHighmountain · Level 10-45

    The Bloodtotem are led by Torok, a volatile but useful tauren chieftain. He is wary of outsiders, but I believe you have already met an emissary to their tribe--Oakin Ironbull--whom you rescued at Riverbend. Use that small thread and you may be able to bring the Bloodtotem back into the fold.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hags of a FeatherHighmountain · Level 10-45

    The drogbar you freed me from were unusually aggressive. The tribe in the nearby caves seems to be apart from the rest of them, but that didn't stop the Bloodtotem from going on the offensive just in case, capturing some of their number. That move left the woods exposed to the harpies, however.
