This is perfect -- just the thing! Well, here's the shipment.

Though the Crossroads seems to be the center of activity in The Barrens, I prefer the quietude of Camp Taurajo. Where shall I send you?

Keep an eye out, skyborne. The elves are often hiding in the shadows... We must always be watching. We have worked very hard to claim this land, and the elves are looking for a chance to take it from us. I assume you have my next orders from Kadrak?

Much danger lies along this path, adventurer. You'd do best to remember this while traveling in these lands. The threat of the alliance is quite near. We are faced by enemies on all fronts. The satyr are a formidable and prevalent force in eastern Ashenvale. I have also discovered that the naga have taken over a large area of the land of Azshara. It's good to see that we are still bolstering our numbers -- be ready for what lies ahead, adventurer.

So you're here with my orders? Always good to see a new recruit with an exuberant nature and a strong will. You'd best learn fast if you expect to keep up here. The threat of the naga grows, adventurer. I have observed and have taken up defenses against several attacks on this outpost since I arrived here. But if you'd like to pitch in with that effort, speak with one of the others here at the outpost.

If we are to make these new lands ours then we must have places to rest our battle weary bodies. Lay your axe by the fire and share the stories of your mighty battles.

There are three legendary creatures that make up the Ashenvale Hunt; you may seek them and test yourself against their cunning and might. In the process, you will hopefully learn something about yourself. The creatures are: the bear Ursangous, the nightsaber cat Shadumbra, and the hippogryph Sharptalon. The creatures of the Ashenvale Hunt are powerful, and you may find that you'll need aid in bringing them down. If you should best them, bring me proof of your deed.

I'd train you if I could, but you're too much for me. Tell you what: go talk to the tauren Una in the northwestern shops of Thunder Bluff's central plateau. She's got some real talent.

Where would you like to fly to?

You are the one that the Cenarion Circle in Moonglade sent, yes? This is most fortuitous for us! We are stymied in our effort to bring balance to the sickly gazelles that wander the northern Barrens; we're happy for all the help we can get. Do you have the sample of water that Dendrite Starblaze said you'd have? He notified me that you'd draw one so we could work on a cure together...

By my ancestors, this water is disgusting! No wonder the gazelles are sick. Something is polluting the water, and in turn beginning to wreck the northern Barrens ecosystem. Sick gazelles have been sighted all north of the east-west road here. While this water is most likely a primary source of the sickness spreading, there's something else at work here. This water, believe it or not, will help us formulate a cure. While I research this water, I have need of some items to formulate a cure...

I walk this road alone, seeking ways to defend my honor and rid this land of our enemies. What can I do for you, adventurer?

I thank you, adventurer. Your dedication to my plea gives rest to my lost wife's spirit, and for that I could never repay you enough. I cannot say that my hatred will ever cease for the quilboar, but it is satiated for now. Now I must begin to rebuild my life.

You have snort aided Mangletooth more than I would have dreamed, skyborne. Thank you. As long as I remain a captive here, you may bring me blood shards from the Bristleback quilboar and I will bless you with Agamaggan's power.

My hatred is strong snort, but the time is right to tell you a tale, skyborne. Long ago a battle took place between gods. Agamaggan, our great boar god, fell to the earth after being defeated in the War of the Ancients, his blood raining down and his bones torn asunder. snort Great thorns reached up out of the earth where his blood touched the ground, and his skull adorns one of the caverns to the south.

Which trainer do you seek?

Dirge Quikcleave of Gadgetzan is a master of the culinary arts. To better yourself you will need to seek him out.

Only the renowned Doctor Gregory Victor can improve your skill now. He can be found in Arathi Highlands at Hammerfall.

I am an orc of medicine, skyborne. If you have come here to learn, I shall do my best to teach.

Would you rather trust your goods with a goblin?

Where would you like to fly to?

How may I be of service?

You will need to find Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh to get any better than you are currently.

Besides the Grunts outside, my brothers and I fought at the battle of Hyjal. Any who seek to steal from the bank must face us first.

I guarantee this bank's security with my own blood, is that good enough for you?

adventurer, how may I further your training in the eyes of the Earth Mother?

Why you would want to leave these sunny shores and crystal blue waters I have no idea. It's like paradise down here. But don't tell my brother Zapetta that, he's bitter enough already about getting stuck up there in Tirisfal all day long. This Zeppelin here drops off at Orgrimmar so you shouldn't have to worry about having to listen to him whine. But if you are in Tirisfal anytime soon, heed my warning and don't get him started.

Well, my update will explain all of this to Kadrak. You must return this to him as quickly as possible.

Muln Earthfury has told me much of the Windshapers and I am proud to open the lands--and skies--of Mulgore to your people. The Tauren and the Skyborne are both children of this land. Kalimdor. I hope that your people are able to find what they are looking for here and that you are able to save your homeland. In the meantime, it is my hope that you are able to learn more of the land that your ancestors used to call home. Please make yourself at home here in Thunder Bluff, and may the Earth Mother bless your journey.

Take my update to Kadrak. Swiftly, adventurer.

Thank you, adventurer. These supplies will help get us through until the next shipment arrives.

The skycutter that arrives here will take you right to Dalaran City.

All those who snort enter battle have need of protection. Their bones must be strong. Their skin tough. snort My tribe knows this as well, and to add to the natural protection our quills and hide give us, snort we often call upon Agamaggan to protect us from harm before we go to war. Bring me 4 blood shards snort and I will grant you the same protection.

Warriors of all types snort have need of a strong spirit. It drives you to greater feats when all hope has been lost. This is not unknown to the snort Razormane. We are a spiritual tribe--we are more proud of our connection to Agamaggan than our prowess snort in battle. Bring me 4 blood shards and I will bless your spirit for battle. snort

The offering stone is ominously still.

The tortured soul lets out a foul energy in the presence of the offering stone. It appears you are closer to fulfilling the ritual.

Our greatest warriors, and our greatest snort shamans would envy your will, skyborne. Defeat more of the Bristlebacks knowing that they cannot stop you! snort

My tribes greatest scouts are said to be unrivaled in their accuracy, and no rogue snort could measure up to their quickness in battle. Bring me 4 blood shards and I will make you even more agile than any quilboar born.

The shaman and geomancers of the quilboar tribes snort call upon the strength of Agamaggan to help them in battle and in their rituals, skyborne. If you too wish the added power of Agamaggan's blessing with your spells, then bring me 4 blood shards and Mangletooth will aid you. snort

The solution is quite simple however. Using wood pulp as an absorbent, we can combine traces of nitroglycerin with sodium nitrate to develop a strong blasting charge, capable of breaking through even the most dense masses. The work will be noisy and disruptive but our search is of far greater importance than the comfort of the local inhabitants. In fact, we've already had to drive a band of bull-men out of the area who were proving to be a nuisance.

May your aim be unerring, and the mark of your weapon be true, skyborne. Agamaggan's spirit is with you. Return snort to me if you wish. Mangletooth will bless you again if the great boar god deems me worthy. snort

I will need 4 blood shards if you wish Agamaggan's strength, skyborne. Your foes will cower before your strength were you to be given this blessing. snort The Razormane's greatest warriors are infused with such power!

Gales greetings, friend. Is there something I can help you with?

If only Mangletooth were free to see you decimate those who betrayed him! snort I thank you for destroying more of the Bristleback by gathering these shards. Please, continue to do so, and I will continue to aid you. snort

The Excavation of Bael Modan The original survey crew sent by the Explorers' League was indeed correct in their findings. The ground here holds artifacts of unlimited value to our people. No doubt we will find many answers in our quest for knowledge beneath the sand and rock of Bael Modan. The geology of the region dictates we use extreme measures however. Many of the sand deposits have solidified under the harsh conditions and varying climate.

The fact that we are dealing with various rogue elements out here leads me to believe we will need support from the King's Army. Not only will the excavation require military support, it would seem to my novice eye that the location of Bael Modan might be of strategic value to the Alliance considering the volatility of world politics in their current state. Alas, I have digressed. There is much work to be done beneath the rock. I have spent too much time writing and not enough digging...

What can I do for ya, skyborne?

You have come to me in hopes of learning to take a shape of strength. I have a task for you, though it lays heavy on my heart. My mate, Ur'endra, has lost herself to madness and has begun to attack her own kin. Without the magic of the winds, many creatures have begun to lose themselves... Ur'endra included. She makes her lair in a cave to the west of here, in the bluffs along the border between the Shen'dar Highlands and the Gustberry Lowlands. End her suffering and I shall grant you my blessing.

Let Kadrak know of the success we have had here holding off the night elves. Our plans are going well.

Greetings, noble druid. This humble servant of the Cenarion Circle wishes blessings and bounties be given unto you and yours.
