Quest · Thousand Needles · Level 30
Test of Strength
The Test of Strength is the third trial overseen by the tauren mystic Dorn Plainstalker in Thousand Needles. To prove their physical prowess, Horde champions are tasked with hunting down Rok'Alim the Pounder, an ancient, free-roaming rock elemental, and returning with remnants of his shattered form.
Quest text
During the time of the Old Gods, elementals inhabited much of this world. They worshipped the Old Gods, and the Gods, through their power, kept the elementals bound to this world. When the Old Gods were banished, the elementals faded from our world and now only return at the bidding of powerful mages.
There are exceptions though. Some elementals were powerful enough to remain here on their own. One such elemental is Rok'Alim.
To test your strength, find Rok'Alim in Thousand Needles and slay him.
Progress
Rok'Alim is also called the Pounder by the centaur tribes in Thousand Needles because of the thundering his fists make as he pummels the creatures brave, or stupid, enough to stand in his path.
