The Blackrock orcs have travelled from the Burning Steppes and claimed Stonewatch Keep to the north. From there they maraud the areas north of Lakeshire and keep its citizens in town, penned like cattle. Help rid Lakeshire of this menace. Kill these Blackrock orcs and bring me ten of their Battleworn Axes as proof. And although Blackrocks threaten us from the north, we've received reports of more in the southeastern pocket of Redridge. If you find any there, then they too should be hunted.

Thank you, adventurer. Our knowledge expands through your efforts. If you discover more magical works that might benefit the library, please bring them to me.

Hmm... Looking for something specific, are you?

Show me those explosives, adventurer!

Led by Admiral Proudmoore, the humans of Kul Tiras encroached on Durotar, violating the Warchief's pact made with Jaina Proudmoore in order to defeat Archimonde years ago. The human aggression was repelled and Tiragarde Keep fell. But recently, the Admiral's reserves, led by Lieutenant Benedict, have retaken the keep and once again pose a threat to our homeland. These humans show no respect for diplomacy. Prove your honor and travel south to Tiragarde Keep to eliminate the human invaders.

Hmmm, not bad, adventurer. But don't let it get to your head...you'll fight tougher than boars in your career. Nonetheless, you've proven yourself well, and your next trial will be against a considerably more dangerous opponent, so you'll need some extra protection.

The first order of business will be to put a little strength in your backbone. I could send you out to the Barrens to hunt kodo, but well, in all honesty, you're more useful to us alive than dead. I believe you would find a good match with the mottled boars you'll find to the north of here.

There is an important lesson that you must take away from fighting scorpids. The smallest or largest of opponents can still send you to your doom. In fierce combat, any number of things can prove your downfall. I have no more to teach you, adventurer. You have done well, and I will watch your progress with interest.

Ahhh... my father always said I would never amount to much, and here, lying beneath a tree as life seeps away, I'm afraid it looks like he was right. At least I wish to die knowing that my last enemy in life lays dead.

Powerful warrior and awkward novice alike have fallen to the venomous sting of the scorpid. You will find large numbers of scorpids northwest of here. Bring me ten of their tails as proof of your prowess in battle. The antidote for their sting is actually made from venom extracted from their stingers. We keep large quantities of antidote for scorpid venom on hand to heal young bloods just like you... But I'm sure you won't be needing any of that, will you?

The carapace of a scorpid isn't so thick that the strength of a determined warrior will be deterred. Strike strongly and without doubt, and the scorpids should prove easy prey.

My blow was not enough to kill him, but looking at the damage I inflicted gives me some small measure of pride. That small measure will be all I have to sustain myself if I die, and in that light, the short list of my life's accomplishments fills me with anger.

Warlock! I thought I would die out here with none to know of it. While I was hunting the scorpids of the Valley, I came across a particularly vicious-looking one. Hurling myself at it, I managed to inflict a massive blow to its claw before it closed around my leg. I wasn't ready for its stinger though, and it sliced down and into my chest, cutting into my flesh and letting my blood. Please, you must kill the scorpid for me! My honor must be upheld! I fought it up on the plateau to the south.

Great, you're back! Did you get the shoes?

You have just glimpsed the power that can be yours. The feeble and foolish among us are afraid of the path that we tread, but with boldness and cunning we can decide our own fates. Guard your powers closely. The fearful lash out against that which they do not understand. Now you are one of us. If you need training in spells then return to me.

Are you heading to the south? To Lake Al'Ameth? If so, then I have a task I might ask of you... My colleague Denalan has a camp along the eastern end of the lake, where he is studying and experimenting on the plant life of Teldrassil. He requested a package of rare earths from Darnassus and it was late, only recently arriving here in Dolanaar. Can you take the package to him?

Ah good, now this will hit the spot. Allow me to take a small break while I enjoy this scalding mornbrew!

Ah, while you were gone a tablet came for you, adventurer. I usually avoid dealing with warlocks if I can help it, but I think you should read it when you have time. If I'm not mistaken, it came from your newly-appointed trainer, Nartok. He would have words with you when you're ready.

Good, good. Maybe they'll think twice before slacking next time! Thanks for the help!

I'm Rezlak, one of Gazlowe's boys. Boss sent me to help the orcs here in Durotar. Things'd been going good except for the caravans. Can't manage to keep them safe! Makes my job a little harder, you know? The last shipment--they promised it'd get through!--was snatched by the Dustwind harpies of...where was it...Razorwind Canyon? I gotta have those supplies or I'll never get anything done! Follow the big canyon to the south, you'll find the ravine cut right into the west and east sides of the walls.

What have your studies revealed?

Look at you, bright eyed and ready for adventure! We've been awaiting your arrival and anticipating your much needed help here in Thendal Village. I imagine you are brimming with both nerves and excitement for what is to come. After all, you only get to come of age once in a lifetime. <Ailee smiles kindly.> Go, seek out our village leader Rorian the Dayseeker at the entrance to the greatfather tree just west of here. He will get you started on your journey.

Your actions show you are one who respects knowledge. The library is open for use in your studies.

Ah yes, the delivery of herbs from Shadowglen. It is a shame Porthannius could not bring it himself, for we have much to discuss, he and I. But I am glad to get the herbs nonetheless, and I am glad you came. While you are here, please, rest yourself. Heroes must keep their strength and spirits high, and must find rest and solace whenever they may. For to neglect one's peace of body and mind is a sure path to failure. So... rest.

With an influx of new recruits like yourself, it's been hard to keep our weapons supplied. Our weaponsmith, Kzan, is running low on training weapons and I'd like to see what kinds of skills you possess to get an idea of what I have to work with. Luckily for you, I have a solution to both. While you're out there cutting your teeth on boars, salvage six abandoned training weapons. Our failed recruits left them laying on the ground. Once you do, return them to our weaponsmith Kzan behind me in the Den.

A fresh specimen from a beast of this size is quite a find. Perhaps someone in Aldrassil familiar with the study of spiders would be interested in the fang.

When we fled the isles that Zalazane and his ilk now inhabit, we left behind many precious idols that help us commune with spirits we worship: our loa. They are of grave importance to our tribe. The followers of Zalazane show no reverence for our loa and have scattered these idols across the largest of the isles. This is an action that will not go unnoticed if we are not able to collect these idols, and offending a loa is a grave matter. Go, find as many loa idols as you can and return them to me.

A disturbance has been reported at the Blue Recluse tavern in the Mage Quarter. Strange, invisible creatures now wander the tavern, and I fear a mana rift has formed there. I want you to investigate the tavern and capture those creatures. Use the cantation of manifestation in the tavern to make the creatures visible, subdue them then use a containment coffer to capture them. When you have enough, return to me with your filled coffers, your empty coffers and the cantation.

As a Windshaper, you have the ability to use the sacred skysight gifted to us by the elemental spirits. Travel to the standing stones to the northeast of the village. Find the elemental convergence there and use your gift. You'll find that you may draw upon the skysight anywhere, but its boon is much more powerful if you do so in the presence of an elemental convergence. You may at times receive other bits of wisdom from the spirits that are drawn to such places of power, as well.

Our hunters and fishers bring back plenty of savory food for our troops - but it's rare that they get a sweet treat. I've seen a cactus that produces a prickly, tasty fruit. But it only grows in the hills to the west, where the wretched quilboars make their camps. Make your way past the quilboars and bring me some of those fruits. And be careful - the fruits are as spiny as the quilboars!

We lost many brave warriors of the Horde when we sacked Tiragarde Keep. Now that the humans have reinforced the ruins, we cannot collect their remains to properly honor their deaths. Go to the ruins surrounding the keep, and search for the weapons left by our fallen kin. We will display them in a place of honor.

<The journal appears to be quite plain, detailing the life and adventures of someone you've never heard of. There are multiple entries mentioning camping. It seems to be quite... fun.>

Is that my journal? I've been missing this for a while. Thank you, warlock. Hey, you've got the look of an adventurer yourself. How would you like to learn about camping?

Is that my journal? I've been missing this for a while. Thank you, rogue. Hey, you've got the look of an adventurer yourself. How would you like to learn about camping?

So, Stoutmantle sent you? Well, I owe him.

First, let me tell you more of the task you must complete. The druids in Darnassus use the water of the moonwells of Teldrassil, and their moonwell must be replenished from time to time. Using these specially crafted phials, you can collect the water of the moonwells. Take this vessel to the moonwell outside of Starbreeze Village to the east, and fill it with some of its waters, then return to me. When you have completed your task, I shall continue the story where Tenaron left off...

Oh no... I'm in for it now! I heard about the harvesters terrorizing the fields of Westfall, so I traveled all the way from Ironforge to see if I could recalibrate them. But they're far more aggressive than my calculations anticipated, and they chased me into this stable! If I had some isosprings and gyrostabilizers from the harvesters, I could build a device to cover my escape. Could you gather the parts for me?

I must warn you, adventurer, this matter must stay between us. The satyr are enough of an embarrassment to us already, and this one is much too close to home. He is called Lord Melenas. He resides in the nearby cave of Fel Rock where he has gathered a large group of grell warriors. His heart is black as night, and he plots something most foul. You must find him within his nearby cave just to the north of here, and bring me his head.

You have done well, adventurer. Although the vile familiars were merely pets of the darker powers within the Burning Blade, your success against them foretells greater deeds ahead.

For me? You're a true hero, adventurer!

The corruption affecting Westfall's crops may have seeped into the ocean as well. If the local fish are affected too, it could doom Stormwind to famine. Collect gills from the murlocs along the shoreline and bring them to me. Murlocs are quite hardy, but their physiology is extremely sensitive to contaminants. Any toxins in the seawater will be readily apparent in the gills you find.

The well samples you collected contain toxic metals! If we do not put an end to this corruption quickly, it will be decades before crops can grow in this soil again. The Defias have seized the mines of Westfall and use creatures as labor to strip their resources. Disrupt them by slaying their miners in the Jangolode Mine to the north, and the Gold Coast Quarry to the west.

Strange - the poison does not seem to originate from the mines you investigated. I am told the Deadmines under the town of Moonbrook are the largest, deepest mines of Westfall, but they have been abandoned since the First War. Could the Deadmines be active again? Please travel to Moonbrook, adventurer, and look for evidence of mining or industrial activity. This is the last lead we have!

The supplies you found point to a massive industrial operation somewhere in the Deadmines. There's no question that this is the source of the toxins plaguing the farmland of Westfall. We need to stop it, quickly. Whatever's down there will be difficult to destroy. Go to the Dwarven District of Stormwind, and find an engineer who can supply us with some explosives.

While there is more I could speak to you of the moonwells and of Teldrassil, I must send you along. Corithras Moonrage will be expecting you. I have poured the phial of water you brought to me into this vessel to bring to him. Seek out Corithras. You will find him at the moonwell in Dolanaar. Follow the road south from Aldrassil out of Shadowglen, and continue to follow the cobblestones as the road turns west. Mind you stay on the road though, adventurer. There are dangerous beasts in the forests of late.

We must determine the source and nature of the poison corrupting this land. Let us begin with the groundwater under the farms in the area. Go to the Jansen Stead in the north and the Molsen Farm northwest of here, and collect samples from the wells there.

Those warlocks who came before us have earned the distrust of the Horde, and while we are tolerated, we are not loved. This has not brought the warlocks closer together, however, as many choose to live reclusively, dabbling in their magics alone. I will not seek to lead you down one path or the other, but only help you in your maturation. Before I teach you the art of summoning, bring me six heads of the vile familiars from the cave to the northeast.

Ah, you received my message. Excellent. We orcs have a long and turbulent history with the entities of the Nether, but now we forge our own path, in command of our destiny. You, too, can seize the power to shape the future for your people. Where our leaders falter, we are ready to press forward and claim our rightful place. You will be of eminence among the trolls.
