Objectives

Talk to Kaltunk in the Valley of Trials.

Description

Blackrock - Eitrigg

Aggralan and I have decided to honor tradition. The Blessing of the Clan will take inspiration from the om'riggor.

You will track and kill a beast without your armor while acting as a Champion of the Blackrock, one worthy of testing your skills in battle.

You will hunt an unknown monster that has been stalking the residents of the Valley of Trials. The peons have taken to calling it Gor'krosh, the Long Knives.

Seek out Kaltunk and investigate. Once the beast is slain, take a trophy as proof of the deed, and paint your face with its blood, as proof for the Farseer.

Slay this enemy of the Orcs^[sic], and bring honor to yourself and the Blackrock!

Bleeding Hollow - Jorin Deadeye

The Farseer and I have decided that the Blessing of the Clan will take inspiration from the om'riggor. We of the Bleeding Hollow still see value in the old traditions.

You will track and kill a beast without your armor while acting as our champion. But we have decided that this will be a particular beast that has become a menace, and is worthy of your skills.

You will hunt and slay the unknown monster that has been stalking the residents of the Valley of Trials. The peons have taken to calling it Gor'krosh, the Long Knives.

Seek out Kaltunk and investigate. Once the beast is slain, take a trophy as proof of the deed, and paint your face with its blood, as proof for the Farseer.

I have no doubt that you will succeed in your task.

Dragonmaw - Gorfax Angerfang

The Farseer and I have decided that the Blessing of the Clan will take inspiration from the om'riggor, as a way to honor our old traditions.

You will track and kill a beast without your armor while acting as a Champion of the Dragonmaw. But not just any beast. You will be sent on something that will actually be a challenge for such a seasoned <class>.

You will hunt the unknown monster that has been stalking the residents of the Valley of Trials. The peons have taken to calling it Gor'krosh, the Long Knives.

Seek out Kaltunk and investigate. Once the beast is slain, take a trophy as proof of the deed, and paint your face with its blood, as proof for the Farseer.

Don't die on me now. I was just growing to like you.

Frostwolf - Thrall

Aggra and I have decided that the Blessing of the Clan will take inspiration from the om'riggor.

You will track and kill a beast without your armor while acting as a Champion of the Frostwolves. But it can't be just any beast, as it must be a worthy challenge!

You will be sent on a hunt for an unknown monster that has been stalking the residents of the Valley of Trials. The peons have taken to calling it Gor'krosh, the Long Knives.

Seek out Kaltunk and investigate. Once the beast is slain, take a trophy as proof of the deed, and paint your face with its blood, as proof for the Farseer.

Good luck. Bring honor to yourself and the Frostwolves.

Shattered Hand - Thega Graveblade

The Farseer and I have decided that the Blessing of the Clan will take inspiration from the om'riggor. We in the Shattered Hand still see the value of a young orc being able to take a life.

You will track and kill a beast without your armor while acting as our champion. But it can't just be any beast, as it must be a worthy challenge!

You will hunt an unknown monster that has been stalking the residents of the Valley of Trials. The peons have taken to calling it Gor'krosh, the Long Knives. A monster after my own heart.

Seek out Kaltunk and investigate. Once the beast is slain, take a trophy as proof of the deed, and paint your face with its blood, as proof for the Farseer.

You should be more than a match for this challenge, but if not, it's been nice knowing you.

Warsong - Gorgonna

Farseer Aggralan I have decided that the Blessing of the Clan will take inspiration from the om'riggor. We still value a young Orc's ability to hunt and kill.

You will track and kill a beast without your armor while acting as a Champion of the Warsong. But it can't be just any beast, it must be challenge for one as mighty as you!

We have decided to send you on a hunt for an unknown monster that has been stalking the residents of the Valley of Trials. The peons have taken to calling it Gor'krosh, the Long Knives.

Seek out Kaltunk and investigate. Once the beast is slain, take a trophy as proof of the deed, and paint your face with its blood, as proof for the Farseer.

Lok'tar Ogar! Bring honor to yourself and the Warsong!

Is that you, <name>? Look at how much you've grown! But why are you here?

They've sent you to deal with Gor'krosh? Thank the ancestors!

Notes

The Champion of the Orcs buff (Bleeding Hollow version).

On accept, the player gains a "Champion of the Orcs" buff, visually stripping them of their gear and causing their chosen clan's banner to appear on their back.

 Champion of the Orcs — You are the champion of your clan! You are forbidden from wearing armor while hunting Gor'krosh.

Farseer Aggralan says: Remember, you must bring back a trophy of your kill, and paint your face with the blood of your prey.

Farseer Aggralan says: And you are forbidden from wearing armor until Gor'krosh is slain. Go with honor.
