Protecting the Herd
We heard the cries in the middle of the night. Then this morning, sure enough, the herd was missing two rams. That dastardly beast known as Vagash has been preying on our livelihood. With Ironforge's troops already spread thin, there is no one to keep Vagash at bay. Perhaps you are brave enough to seek out the beast and slay him. Bring me one of his fangs and I will reward you. Vagash lurks just above the ranch here, but be warned, he is deadly.

- Мы услышали шум среди ночи. Поутру не досчитались двух баранов в отаре. Эта подлая тварь Вагаш покушается на наш скот. И поскольку армия Стальгорна уже невелика, приструнить этого Вагаша некому. Может, тебе хватит отваги для того, чтобы найти и прикончить эту тварь? Принеси мне его клык, и я тебя награжу. Вагаш рыщет как раз вон над тем выгоном, но будь осторожен, он смертельно опасен.
