Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

<Mortuus sighs.> Peons... We may as well post up a sign offering the Nerub'ar a free meal. See, the problem with a peon is that: (1) they're dumber than dirt; and (2) they're weaker than a leper gnome. Of course they're the first to be taken by the Scourge! This puts me in a bit of a predicament, you see. Without peons, manual labor comes to a halt. No peons, no construction. Find and release my peons, ‹race›. If they're alive, you'll find 'em spun up in webbing throughout Mightstone Quarry.
