Changed in Forever. Gives 5,450 experience instead of 4,350, 1.25 times as much. From Wowhead’s Forever database.

Quest Objectives

Defend Gor'shak.

Description

I was sent here under the auspices of Thrall. Do you actually think these buffoons could capture me? I allowed myself to be captured so that I could gather intelligence.

<Gor'shak whispers.>

The Princess of Ironforge has been kidnapped by Emperor Thaurissan. Princess Bronzebeard is in this very city! I bet old Magni's heart almost stopped when he heard that news.

<Gor'shak laughs.>

Shhh! Do you hear that? Guards coming! DEFEND YOURSELF!
