A People in Need of Healing

A People in Need of Healing properly begins the Heritage of Draenor questline, after the optional A Summon to Orgrimmar breadcrumb. The quest mostly place in the single-player scenario The Future of Our People in Alterac Valley.

Travel with Eitrigg to Alterac Valley to discuss the future of the orc people with Drek'Thar.

• Portal to Alterac Valley taken
• Complete Scenario "The Future of Our People"

It is strange,. Despite the years of peace, I am restless. Despite having the Horde and my son, I am lonely. You feel the same, don't you? I see it in your eyes, and in the eyes of many orcs.

I feel perhaps that while we have found our way on Azeroth, we have lost our way as orcs.

Come with me. I wish to speak with an old friend about these troubles, and I would like you by my side.

You will receive:

• Money
• XP

This was meant to be a quiet family visit with Drek'Thar, and perhaps a conversation with Durak about his future.

Instead, we have set off on a path that will affect the orcish people as a whole!

Do not misunderstand me. I think this is the best course of action. It is just surprising how quickly it happened. I am to be a Farseer...

There is much for us to do. We had best get to it.

On accept, Eitrigg walks out of Grommash Hold into the Valley of Strength, where Arcweaver Kashra is waiting with a Portal to Alterac Valley.

He takes the portal and disappears. Arcweaver Kashra has some gossip text:

• Greetings,.

• When you are ready, this portal will take you to the Frostwolf lands in Alterac Valley.

Using the portal places the player in the scenario "The Future of Our People".

• You have arrived with Eitrigg in the Frostwolf lands. You should follow him to your audience with Drek'Thar.
• Follow Eitrigg to the Hall of the Frostwolf
• Talk to Drek'Thar

The player arrives at the base of a tower in Frostwolf Village. During the scenario, invisible walls are present around the village to prevent the player from going too far. At the tower's northern entrance, two Frostwolf Guardians are holding off Yaelika Farclaw, Smith Regzar, Shrye Ragefist, and further back some Frostwolf Legionnaires. One of the Guardians says:

• Everyone is excited to see Thrall, but we don't want them to crowd his family!

The other says:

• More important guests? Frostwolf Keep hasn't been this busy in years!

Usha Eyegouge, the Frostwolf Quartermaster, and Jorek Ironside are standing on the backside of the building, but don't offer their normal services. Captain Galvangar is standing halfway up the stairs. His gossip text:

• Alterac Valley hasn't seen this much excitement in years!

• What's so special about today to warrant such prestigious visitors?

• That's all? A party?

• I thought you were here to tell us about a new Scourge or Legion invasion or some other world-ending threat!

Somewhat hidden away at the top of the stairs are Palkar and Whiteclaw. Palkar's gossip:

• Who are you, stranger?

• <You explain that you are here with Eitrigg to talk to Drek'Thar about bringing back the Kosh'harg.>

• Ahh, . I have heard tales of your exploits on the battlefield. You have made quite the name for yourself.

• I am Palkar, steward of Drek'Thar. It is my duty to tend to all the Farseer's needs. Your quest seems worthy, but I am afraid even if the festival returns, I will not travel to see it.

• Drek'Thar's health is fading. Powerful he may be, but he is mortal. I must stay by his side while he is still with us.

Eitrigg is waiting at the tower's southeastern entrance. On approach, he starts walking up the hill toward Frostwolf Keep.

Outside the Keep are Aggra and Rehze, along with Moonpaw, Ryala, Spring, and Winter.

Standing around in the upper level of the village around Frostwolf Keep are some generic Frostwolf Bowmen, Warmaster Laggrond and Jotek, Wing Commanders Guse and Mulverick, Yazra and Teeka Bloodsnarl, Commander Mulfort, Voggah Deathgrip, and Primalist Thurloga and her Frostwolf Shaman. Thurloga is the only character to have gossip text:

• Though the valley has been relatively quiet in the last few years, we tauren who served alongside the Frostwolf in battle have decided to stay.

• Alterac Valley has become our home, and we have even grown to prefer the colder climate.

The characters inside the Hall have dialogue as well. Aggra:

• It is good to see you, . I hope you will be as good a friend to my children as you have to Go'el and myself.

Thrall:

• It is good to see you, my friend. We brought the children to meet Drek'thar [sic] and the other Frostwolves.

• Please, say hello to Durak. He has heard many, many tales of your victories.

• <Thrall grins.>

• You have a fan.

Durak:

• Oh, ! I've heard all about you from my father! It's an honor to meet you!

Rehze:

• <Rehze blushes and looks away as you approach.>

• ...Hi.

Speak to Drek'Thar to advance the scenario:

• We Frostwolves haven't had many visitors in years. Now we have so many, and all at once! My day has been blessed.

• What brings you and Eitrigg?

• <Drek'Thar's expression changes, suddenly reminded of something long forgotten.>

• I foresaw this moment long ago, . Today will define the future of our people.

• Do an old orc a favor, hm? Take my totems, and place them around the room.

• The elements should be present for what comes next.

• You have assembled in Frostwolf Keep with Eitrigg, Thrall, Aggra, and their children. It is time to discuss the return of the Kosh'harg.
• Discuss the Kosh'harg with Drek'thar [sic]
• Totems Placed (4)

The player gains 4 stacks of the Farseer's Totems buff, with a visual of a totem placed on their back:

• Talk to Drek'thar [sic] to Begin
• Duros Defeated
• Drakan Defeated

Talk to Drek'Thar:

• Eitrigg has placed his faith in you. Will you prove yourself worthy of this honor?

Duros and Drakan walk into the center of the room while Drek'Thar briefly rises from his chair to channel elemental magic in his hands. The other orcs back away to the edges of the room.

• say

He empowers Duros with a Boon of Storm and Flame and Drakan with a Boon of Frost and Earth, giving them elemental-themed abilities. Both wolves then attack the player.

Upon being brought to 30% health, the wolves turn friendly again and lie back down in their old spots. Defeat both to complete the stage.

• You have defeated Drek'Thar's wolves, but he is not finished with you yet!
• Defeat the Elemental Projection

• say

• He rises from his wheelchair again and channels elemental magic to create an Elemental Projection of himself.

The Projection turns hostile and attacks. Each of the four totems turn hostile as well; each one channels a buff into the projection. Destroy them to remove the buffs. Drek'Thar keeps separately channeling magic into the Projection.

• Totem of Water:
• Totem of Fire:
• Totem of Air:
• Totem of Earth:

• You have proven yourself worthy of being the first to complete the new rite. It is time to begin preparations for the Kosh'harg!
• Talk to Thrall
• Use Thrall's Hearthstone to return to Orgrimmar

Upon the Projection's defeat, Drek'Thar sits down again and the other orcs walk back into the center.

Drek'Thar gets new gossip text:

• Aggralan is nervous, but I know Greatmother Geyah has taught her everything she will need. She will serve as both your judge and your guide.

• Good luck on your om'gora, . May the Kosh'harg bring our people together.

Talk to Thrall:

• Everything has been decided, then. Go with my family to Orgrimmar to prepare for your rite. Eitrigg and I will gather the clans and meet you in Durotar.

• Here, take my hearthstone. It will take you to the Broken Tusk. I will see you soon, with the assembled clans!

The player receives Thrall's Hearthstone, both as an item and as an extra action button:

Use either one to leave the scenario. On arrival, Aggra is waiting in the inn with Durak and Rehze.
