||
| − | Eitrigg is an aging [[orc]] warrior who served with valor and distinction during the [[First War|First]] and [[Second War]], losing two sons to battle. After he learned the truth of {{npc||Gul'dan||Gul'dan's}} betrayal and his bargain with {{npc||Kil'jaeden}}, Eitrigg fled into the wilderness of [[Lordaeron]], forsaking his race and determined to live out the rest of his days in peace. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He was discovered years later living in the ruins of an abandoned watch tower by the [[paladin]] {{npc||Tirion Fordring}}. At first regarding each other as nothing but enemies, the two began to fight one another. Their fight caused the tower to collapse, and Eitrigg ended up saving unconscious Tirion's life by pulling him out of the ruins. From that point forward, Tirion felt he owed a debt of honor to the orc. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This was not enough to prevent Eitrigg from being captured however. It is certain that the orc would have been put to death in [[Stratholme]] but thanks to the timely intervention of Tirion and Thrall's new [[Horde]], he was saved. He regarded Tirion as his [[human]] brother after such losses to save him. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After meeting [[Warchief]] {{npc||Thrall}}, Eitrigg found that his people had rediscovered their [[shaman]]istic roots, and returned to life among his own kind. Before he left with his people, Eitrigg proclaimed that Tirion and he were brothers, bound by blood and honor. |

| − | Thrall appears to have approved this request as Eitrigg can be found at the [[Argent Stand]], the Argent Crusade outpost in [[Zul'Drak]]. He ends the quest {{questlong|Neutral|74|Pure Evil}}.

During the [[Second War|last war]] our clan chieftains fought amongst themselves over petty rivalries. As one particularly bloody battle concluded, my sons were ordered to pull back from the front lines. One of our chieftain's rivals, hoping to advance his clan's standing within the Horde, countermanded the order and sent my sons and their brethren back to be slaughtered. It was a dark day for our clan... A dark day for me. I realized then that there was no hope. Corruption and enmity had completely overshadowed my people's spirit. I felt that it was only a matter of time before the Horde devoured itself from within. |
