The Foot of the Citadel
Force-Commander Gorax is training Shattered Hand captains at the base of Hellfire Citadel, honing them to a bloody razor's edge. You must kill him, adventurer, for his loss would be a mighty blow to the fel orcs. However, that is not all you must do. Take this banner. Place it atop Gorax's corpse. Gorax's commander, the Hand of Kargath, must answer your challenge if he has even a drop of true orc blood within him! His head, the head of the hand of Kargath, is what I seek.

- Командир армии Горакс сам тренирует капитанов клана Изувеченной Длани, оттачивая их смертоносные умения. Его гибель станет непоправимой утратой для орков Скверны, {name}, и именно поэтому мы должны убить его. Но это еще не все. Возьми этот стяг. Положи его на труп Горакса. Если в начальнике Горакса, подручном Каргата, осталась хотя бы капля чистой орочьей крови, он ответит на твой вызов. Мне нужна его голова, голова прислужника Каргата.
