  +
And now the time has come to take out the leader of all of the [[Darkcloud Pinnacle]] Grimtotem: Arnak Grimtotem.
   
  +
It is said that he's the disgraced nephew of {{NPC||Magatha Grimtotem}}, the Elder Crone and matriarch of the [[Grimtotem clan]]. Supposedly, his indiscretions have left him in a state of disfavor with her.
−
"It is history... A history of [[Silithus]]... of [[Ahn'Qiraj]]... of [[Titan]]s and [[Old God]]s... I read from the Prophecy of C'Thun as written by the Qiraji Prophet [[Skerram]]. A prophecy that portends a cataclysm...
 
   
  +
But none of that matters right now. All that matters is that we kill him. For good this time.
−
In the time before time, when the world was still in its infancy, a battle between a Titan and a being of unimaginable evil and power raged on this very soil. The prophecy is unclear about whether or not the Titan was vanquised in this battle but it illistrates that a Titan fell. An Old God had also fallen - or so it was thought.

== Rewards ==
−
The land of eternal starlight, [[Kalimdor]], was a nurturing mother to all of its creatures. The magic of the [[Well of Eternity]] permeated the land and empowered the multitude of flora and fauna that would make the world their home. From this magical ether were born the [[Silithid]]. It was through the Silithid that the brooding Old God would reach and attempt to sunder the world that it once held in its unmerciful grasp.
 
  +
You will receive: {{cost|1|20}}

== Progress ==
−
The Old God would create avatars from the Silithid in its own image. These avatars were to be known as [[Qiraji]]. Sentient and with purpose, the Qiraji would name their creator: [[C'Thun]] was born... For many thousands of years the Qiraji worked feverishly to build a force capable of laying waste to the world that would betray their god. The great fortress city of Ahn'Qiraj was created to house their growing armies and prepare fo the coming of C'Thun.
 
  +
We have to kill Arnak, <name>, if we are able to win the battle for the tauren of [[Freewind Post]].
   
  +
== Completion ==
−
The moment that C'Thun had so patiently waited for had finally arrived. His children had spent thousands of years building an army capable of exacting revenge upon the whole of Kalimdor and now the prize was withing their crasp.
 
  +
For some reason they all think that you've been sent by Magatha Grimtotem. I know it must have something to do with that [[wind serpent]] that's been hanging around.
   
  +
Doesn't matter. Their leader is dead. It's only a matter of time before the tauren of Freewind Post regain their home.
−
The Titans had long since vacated this world. Only the [[Night Elves]] that once inhabited this area were here to defend. A mighty Qiraji known as [[Rajaxx|General Rajaxx]] would command the initial incursion into Silithus. Only one would stand in his way: A Night Elf known as [[Fandral_Staghelm|Staghelm]]. They refer to him as [[Kar'sis]] or 'hand of the earth' in the native Qiraji tongue.
 
   
  +
If I were them, I'd push back a little to teach the Grimtotem a lesson, but they probably won't. They're tauren.
−
Staghelm and his armies were clearly overwhelmed as the endless flow of Rajaxx's troops poured into Silithus. Ir would seem as if Staghelm, however, was more than just a nuisance to the Qiraji. Under Staghelm, the whole of the Night Elf armies had come together to defend Kalimdor, greatly slowing the Qiraji forces.
 
   
  +
== Rewards ==
−
Unfortunately, the Night Elf defense was untenable and Rajaxx knew that they could not hold out much longer. Their tenacity, however, was causing great frustration to Rajaxx and causing even more frustration to his king.

[[Vek'nilash]] and [[Vek'lor]], known as the [[Twin Emperors]] of Ahn'Qiraj, watched the war from the sanctuary of their temple. The clever brothers devised a plan to demoralize and divide Staghelm's forces.

Make sure to loot the Drums of War from the building south of the bridge heading north before leaving. Head north, take a right, then a left to reach the north cliff face. Arnak can be found at {{co|37.8|26.6|Thousand Needles}} out on the surface (and not in the cave). He is a level 43 elite with 8850 health. Don't let the health be a deception... he will cast [[Commanding Shout]] and summon assistance with each 25% of health lost. First, two stompers, then two reavers and finally two geomancers.

[[Valstann Staghelm]] served as the right hand of [[Fandral_Staghelm|Fandral]]. A proud and noble warrior, his dedication and adoration for his father unielding.. and the Twin Emperors sensed this as weakness. A weakness that could be exploited. The Qiraji forces were commanded to fall back and hide the bulk of their numbers beneath the sands of the desert. A small attack was ordered upon [[Southwind Village]] while the front lines of Staghelm's army were kept occupied.

Valstann, eager to please his father, convinced Fandral to allow him to take a small battalion to the defense of Southwind. Surely with the tide of battle turning their way, no harm could come to his beloved child. The trap was missed. Valstann was captured by the hiding Qiraji and Southwind Village obliterated. Rajaxx himself would take the captive Valstann to the front lines of the battle where - in front of Staghelm and the Night Elf forces - he would brutally execute the young Night Elf.

The war continued but the will of the great leader was sapped. The whole of Silithus was soon engulfed by the Silithid and their Qiraji hosts. The Night Elf army was pushed back through [[Un'Goro Crater|Un'Goro]], to the borders of the [[Tanaris]] desert. Something in Un'Goro prevented the Qiraji from being able to take the land. I do not quite understand this word but I believe it to mean 'God Lands.' It is stated that they could not 'take the God Lands.' This coincides with theories of Un'Goro being the home of the Titans when the inhabited Kalimdor. Perhaps [[Aman%27Thul|Aman'thul]] himself watched over 'The God Lands.'

Hrm, curious.. This ends abruptly. In Tanaris the Qiraji document facing a [[bronze dragon]]. There is much missing from this... More information must be found! Surely they are planning to invade Kalimdor once more!"
