Good work, <name>. We can use this artifact against the Iron Horde when the time is right.

Notes

Roll east-northeast through the Valley of Destruction to reach Grom'kar Gulch.

Captain Brak yells: Don't let them take the artifact!

Rexxar yells: The object we seek is here!

Let Rexxar handle most of the fight - he can take it:

Captain Brak yells: Gronnlings, break their bones and bring them back to me!

Three Dominated Gronnlings all attack at once. Once they're all dead, two Dominated Gronn jump into the arena!

Captain Brak yells: Gronn, gnash them in your teeth!

Rexxar yells: I've always enjoyed killing gronn.

Take them out.

Captain Brak yells: Impossible!

Rexxar yells: Nisha, get her down here!

Nisha flies up, grabs Brak in her talons, and unceremoniously drops her in the middle of the arena.}}

Captain Brak yells: Aggghh!

Finish her off.

Rexxar says: Well done. The artifact is yours to take.

Follow Rexxar to the north and interact with the  [Heart of the Magnaron]. After picking it up, take Nisha back to camp:

<Nisha playfully flicks out her tongue and licks your cheek.>

 Ride Nisha to your outpost.

This completes the "In the Land of Giants" chapter of  [Putting the Gore in Gorgrond]. The Gorgrond storyline continues with Strike While the Iron is Hot.
