The Search for Bovan Windtotem

Search the surrounding area for the missing tauren.

• Bloody Axe found
• Unique Headdress found
• Tauren Necklace found
• Windtotem Survivors found (3)

According to this survivor, the centaur took them completely by surprise. Bovan led many of the braves against the centaur, hoping to buy time for the others to escape.

He succeeded, but Bovan and most of the braves have not returned. We must find him,.

I need you to search the surrounding area. If you find survivors, tell them to make their way back here.

If you find fallen tauren... take something recognizable to bring back to their families.

You will receive:

• 9,500 XP

What have you found?

I have spoken to the survivors, and no one has seen Bovan since the battle.

This headdress you found on the deceased tauren does not belong to him, so he is either still missing... or captured.

The relevant items and objects are marked on the map. The Bloody Axe is next to a dead Pack Kodo in the north of the quest area:

• <This distinctive looking axe appears to be tauren in origin.

• A flower is engraved on the hilt. The handle itself is covered in blood, but the axe head is clean.

• It seems whoever wielded this axe lost their fight.>

A dead Unidentified Tauren is immediately to the southeast of the Watering Hole itself:

• <This tauren fell in battle. Given the number of wounds on the body, he clearly fought to the bitter end.

• The tauren is wearing a unique headdress. The other tauren might be able to identify their deceased kin with it.>

A Discarded Necklace lies on the ground at the southeastern corner of the quest area, not far from the river:

• <A tauren necklace lies in the dirt next to this hut. The cord is severed, as if it was snapped off.

• Tauren and centaur hoofprints lead from here to the nearby river. It is likely these tauren were captured and moved somewhere else.>

The northwestern Windtotem Survivor is lying on the ground:

• Ugh... who is there?

• <This brave is hurt but alive. He should be able to make it back on his own.>

• say

The northeastern survivor is sitting next to a fallen tree and a dead Nokhud Raider:

• Have we not suffered enough at the hands of the centaur?

• <The brave is covered in blood but has no serious injuries.>

• say

The southeastern survivor is cowering in fear in some bushes behind a rock near a big bloodstain:

• <The brave has no injuries but seems overwhelmed. He keeps whimpering what sounds like a nursery rhyme.>

• If dust shall rise, Above the skies, Run, my children, run...

• By beat of drum, The centaur come, For mercy, they have none...

• When hoofbeats sound, Upon the ground, flee, my children, flee...

• To find the land, Where tauren stand, Do not come back for me...

• say

On return, the fires have been put out and Baine and Tomul are wrapping up a conversation:

Baine has gossip after completing this quest:

• Bovan... my friend, I will find you.
