Quest text

Me and some other warriors were sent by the Warchief to retrieve an object from Durnholde and to investigate this so-called Syndicate.

We went to Durnholde to take a look around, but we were taken by surprise by a large number of the humans. We fought bravely, but their sheer numbers were enough to defeat us. They took a few of us captive, but I was able to escape.

Durnholde is just southeast of here, across the river. Drull and Tog'thar are being held there, you must go and rescue them.

Completion

So the humans thought to turn our warriors into slaves, did they? We'll show them!

It would seem that they have taken Gol'dir, our leader, to another location. We must find him and rescue him. But we currently have no clue where he is...

When we have a lead, I will be sure to tell you, your name.
