Unadulterated Awesomeness2009-09-21 00:00:00their people. I go kick some ass, set some Orcs free, you know the drill. I'm starting to think that being a Mag'har Orc sucks, by the way.
Of course, this entire time I'm also accomplishing quests from that ol' Nesingwary. No longer content with asking
players to kill 12 or 15 of a creature type, Hemet and Pals ask for a hefty 30 kills per quest in their drive to make everything on Outland extinct. Well, not everything-just the Clefthooves, the Talbuks (think antelopes) and the Windrocs.
Far to the southwest, there's a large mountain called Oshu'gun, surrounded by Voidspawns, various Ethereals, and at least one gigantic Gronn called Durn the Hungerer that gives me a bit of a scare. 10g say I have to kill him at some point. Any takers? Didn't think so.
I wonder what the point of Oshu'gun is, but talking to NPCs in Aeris Point helps clear it up. Apparently, Oshu'gun is the most massive diamond in the known universe, and the Ethereals from the Consortium are out to mine it. So, they want me to help by killing some of the other Ethereals who are looking to get it first, getting rid of the Voidspawns, et cetera. They mention that the Naaru aren't very happy with their plans to mine Oshu'gun, but figure that they can take the Oshu'Gun Crystal Fragments off the corpses of the renegade Ethereals that were already mined. Yay, a quest!
Another Ethereal asks me for three Ivory Tusks from the Wild Elekk (elephant-creatures and the Draenei mount) that inhabit Nagrand. He assures me he has an "understanding" with the Draenei and the Orcs, but I'm not entirely sure I trust him. There's something fishy about the Consortium... but since it hasn't been explicitly said in a quest yet, I suppose I got nothin'.
Incidentally, almost every mo...
