Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

We have suffered many losses, ‹name›. Dreadmaul Hold has sent ogres from the Blasted Lands as reinforcements, but they can only send so many; the Alliance attacks them as well, even as we speak. The Alliance has countered our ogres with mounted knights, a strategy that served them well in the Second War. We will need our strongest warriors to turn the tide of battle! Return to the Bloodmire, ‹name›, and bring down those knights!
