Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

Aruuna burns. The arakkoa swooped down from their spires and are turning everything to ash. Draenei, talbuk, even orc; they care not for allegiances. They merely want to watch the world burn. I barely escaped with my life, but my best friend, Barum, stayed behind to find his daughter. The others all say you are a great champion. Please, I beg of you, go to Aruuna and find them.
