Warlord Gorchuk
Last wiki revision 2023-03-07
Warlord Gorchuk is an orc located at the Scarab Dais in Silithus alongside Senior Sergeant Kai'jin during the Call of the Scarab micro-holiday. Gorchuk, along with his Alliance counterpart Field Marshal Snowfall, is a callback to the massive item funneling that took place during the War Effort to open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. As his gossip text hints at, players on the entire realm ended up focusing their efforts to get a single player his or her The Scepter of the Shifting Sands to bang the gong and start the war.

- Throm'ka, Horde <Class>, stand proud! I am Warlord Gorchuk, commander of the Horde's war effort. There are trying times ahead of us, but we shall prevail, as always.
- If you have questions, you should ask them.
- We stand together with the Alliance, . An evil, so old that the world has forgotten it, seeks to engulf us all; first on Kalimdor and then the rest of Azeroth. It is driven by a hatred of all things born of the great Shapers: The eternal Titans.
- We are all that stands in the way of C'Thun's armies. We will strike first and bring down the forces of Ahn'Qiraj. Let all of Azeroth quake at the combined might of the Horde and Alliance.
- The war effort needs you!
- Of the 90000 copper bars that we'll need, we have . The number for tin bar collection sits at out of 22000 needed. And, there have been of 18000 mithril bars smelted for the cause.
- I just received word on that. We currently have out of 96000 peacebloom, of 19000 firebloom, and out of 26000 purple lotus herbs requested.
- Give me a moment; there are a lot of numbers to remember here. It looks like we have of 60000 heavy leather skins collected. As well, we have out of 80000 thick leather, and of 60000 rugged leather stockpiled.
- Bandages? Why, do you intend to survive long enough to need them? Har! Very well,, I will tell you. Of the 250000 wool bandages needed, we have collected . Also to date, we have taken in out of 250000 mageweave bandages, and of 400000 runecloth bandages asked for.
- Food, now there's a subject I can sink my fangs into! I am told that we have of 10000 lean wolf steaks, out of 17000 spotted yellowtail, and of 10000 baked salmon on ice and stored away.
<Class>, the Horde has gathered all that it needs for the Ahn'Qiraj War! Now we wait for the puny Alliance to catch up. When they do, we'll begin transporting everything to Silithus. It should not be long after the buildup there is completed that the war will begin!
- Horde war effort completed before Alliance
The time for war is almost upon us, ! Both the Horde and the Alliance have finished with their preperations [sic]. All of our war materiel is being shipped to Silithus as we speak. I'd expect it all to arrive within 5 days. When all is assembled there, the one who has completed the arduous task of reassembling the Scepter of the Shifting Sands will bang it agains [sic] the Scarab Gong and open the gates to Ahn'Qiraj. Then battle shall be joined as has not been seen in ages!
- Both war efforts completed
Lok'tar Ogar!
- On this day, many years ago, a hero by the name of Kalahad rang the Scarab Gong, opening the gates to Ahn'Qiraj and beginning a war the likes of which Kalimdor had never seen.
- Today, we celebrate the heroics of those past adventurers by returning to Silithus and walking in their footsteps.
- What's more: this is a competition between of [sic] the Horde and Alliance. Whichever group can earn more credits over the next 24 hours earns the right to fly their flag next to the gong for the rest of the year.
- Disrupt the Twilight's Hammer camps, and strike at their Abyssal High Council!
- Slay the mighty silithid colossi that dwell in each of the three large silithid hives.
- Gather silithyst, a valuable red spice, for our faction.
- Venture into Ahh'Qiraj itself and deal with the qiraji and old god menaces that dwell inside!
- Even adventurers that prefer not to fight can participate by donating war supplies, in the form of meat, to our cause.
- Yes, both the Medallion of Station and Ring of Lordship are expensive - far too expensive for any one person to purchase on their own.
- I suggest you team up with other adventurers and select a champion. Only one medallion or ring is required to summon the high-ranking members of the Abyssal Council - but many heroes will be required to defeat them.
- Good luck.
- Twilight Cultist Medallion of Station (Call of the Scarab)
- Twilight Cultist Ring of Lordship (Call of the Scarab)
