'''Bone crushers''' are mostly [[Orc]]s and [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] who thrive on pain (their own and others) and focus on the purity of combat. Already confident in just how powerful they are, a bone crusher trains to become a living, unstoppable force. Bone crushers use their heads in combat, literally. No brains needed here. Indeed, some bone crushers claim that they enter an almost meditative state in combat, focused on the smooth motion of their muscles, the speed of their reflexes, noting (occasionally) the blades that bite their flesh, but feeling nothing from them.

==Description==
−
They are roaring giants that wade through their enemies, their foes unable to stop them. They do not need weapons; their fists are enough. Arrows and blades bounce off their impervious hide, as they simply ignore any attack aimed at them. Each blow sends their opponents flying into the air. They are bone crushers.
  
  +
[[Wildkin]] are quite unpredictable creatures, <name>. Capable of incredible gentleness, these creatures will show extreme ferocity if something they deem important is threatened.
   
  +
These beasts are rumored to have been created by [[Elune]], and I am interested in finding if this is really the truth.
−
The bone crusher's abilities are, like everything about them, obvious and blunt. Bone crushers are beasts in combat, the ultimate manifestation of strength and raw power. A bone crusher is most dangerous when he charges or overruns an opponent, trampling lesser creatures into the ground or slamming them so hard they are sent airborne. A bone crusher's punches may become strong enough to shatter stone and bones with equal ease. A bone crusher's hide toughens as he grows in strength, and his mind pushes away pain, until he is able to ignore many wounds. Many a foe has lost a battle with a bone crusher when she dealt the beast a blow that would have felled any other combatant, only to have the bone crusher shrug and strike at her once again.
  
   
  +
Recently, I heard about a population of [[wildkin]] living in the [[Hinterlands]] -- Vicious, Primitive, and [[Savage Owlbeast]]s. They can be found amongst the wildlife there. Will you gather some [[Wildkin Feather]]s for me?
−
A bone crusher is easily recognizable, even from afar. The bone crusher's body is littered with scars from battle, and he remembers receiving few, if any, of them. He forsakes armor, relying on his own personal strength and toughness to carry him through battle. Few bone crushers bother with weapons, relying instead on their massive fists. The few who choose to wield weapons prefer massive, two-handed weapons, most often bludgeoning or cleaving weapons. Finesse is a foreign word to these behemoths.
  
   
  +
== Progress ==
−
The average bone crusher is not much of a conversationalist, either, and is quick to put up his fists in any argument. A bone crusher is more at home in a bawdy tavern prone to bar fights than quiet discussions in a library. Bone crushers are reckless and hard to control, and even harder to stop once they start moving. Bone crushers balk at rules, or literally anything that holds them back. "Less talking, more smashing" is a motto to bone crushers, one that most others learn quickly.<ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 38</ref>
  
  +
Try to avoid them if you can, <name>. The Wildkin may misread your interest as an intent to do them harm...
   
  +
== Reward ==
−
As a character grows into a bone crusher, he learns to shrug off previous concepts of strength, lifting objects that would balk others. A bone crusher learns how to use his fists in combat to deliver powerful, ringing blows. The bone crusher shrugs off wounds that would cripple other characters. Once a skilled bone crusher starts moving, he becomes almost impossible to stop. The highly skilled bone crusher becomes almost invincible in battle, able to fight far longer than seems possible.<ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 40-41</ref>

Most bone crushers reside in the [[Horde]]. The [[Horde]] respects raw strength, and most of the Horde's races show the raw power that a bone crusher needs. Two races are particularly likely to be bone crushers: [[Orc]]s and [[Ironforge]] [[Dwarf|Dwarves]]. Bone crushers appear often among [[Orc]]s and occasionally among half-[[ogre]]s. Strength is respected among the [[mok'nathal]], and becoming a bone crusher represents the trial to never give up, to never die. Like all [[mok'nathal]], half-ogre bone crushers wander the forests of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], seeking to prove their strength against increasingly mightier challenges, proving to be the greatest creatures of the wild. Among [[Orc]]s, bone crushers are brutal shock troopers, whose battle lust exceeds their immense strength. [[Forsaken]] are rarely bone crushers, but occasionally an exception emerges, becoming a front-line warrior.

What did you learn of the Wildkin?
−
Among the [[Alliance]] races, only [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] and [[Furbolgs]] show the strength to become bone crushers. [[Dwarf]] bone crushers are rare, but some seek the path, seeing the life of a bone crushers as the ultimate challenge. Many [[Ironforge]] [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] also view the challenges of becoming a bone crusher as a connection to their titan strength, unlocking further mysteries of the universe. [[Furbolg]] bone crushers are guardians of their tribes and creatures bearing the strength of nature.

Perhaps these feathers will tell us more. Ferocious monsters, or simply misguided pets? One day I'd like to know the truth...
−
Among [[Ogre]]s, bone crushers are seen as the living avatars of [[Nath]], the [[Ogre]] war god. In a society that prizes strength above anything else, a bone crusher is as close to a god as an [[Ogre]] can get. Once an [[Ogre]] achieves the power of a bone crusher, he soon rises to great political power as well, ruling his own clan and leading them to greater glories in battle. Only the strongest may lead the [[Ogre]]s, and no one is stronger than a bone crusher.

Outside of the [[Horde]], bone crushers are most often viewed as brainless muscle-heads, creatures who think only with their fists. [[Alliance]] bone crushers do not receive nearly as much respect as [[Horde]] bone crushers do. A bone crusher prefers to answer conflict with a head-on charge, which disgusts more thought-minded races, most noticeably [[Human]]s and [[High elf|High Elves]]. Despite this, even the wisest and calmest of races of the [[Alliance]] cannot deny the sheer power that a bone crusher possesses, and those few bone crushers allied with the [[Alliance]] are used as guided bombs. A commander simply points at a target, and watches the bone crusher run through all opposition and demolish the desired object. Crude, but effective.
  
   
  +
== Notes ==
−
Most bone crushers are barbarians or [[warrior]]s, and respect anyone else who shows great strength and martial prowess. As [[Shaman lore|shamanistic]] cultures view bone crushers as spiritual champions, and as [[Shaman]] keep bone crushers strong and healthy, bone crushers look favorably on [[healer]]s. They are especially proud of divine [[casters]] choosing to enter close combat, such as [[Orc]] [[Shaman]] and [[Far Seer]]s. Bone crushers despise [[arcanist]]s and [[rogue]]s however. [[Arcanist]]s are book-bound cowards who hide in the back of the lines and fling [[spells]] instead of risking their hides, while [[rogue]]s are craven backstabbers who never stick their necks out for anyone. The only magic a bone crusher respects are those spells that make him stronger, allowing him to cause even more destruction and chaos. While a bone crusher tends to respect the strength of a [[paladin]], most bone crushers consider [[paladin]]s pompous and melodramatic.<ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 38-39</ref>

Objectives

Collect 15 Wildkin Feathers from the Hinterlands for Erelas Ambersky in Rut'theran Village.

Description

Wildkin are quite unpredictable creatures, <name>. Capable of incredible gentleness, these creatures will show extreme ferocity if something they deem important is threatened.

These beasts are rumored to have been created by Elune, and I am interested in finding if this is really the truth.

Recently, I heard about a population of wildkin living in the Hinterlands -- Vicious, Primitive, and Savage Owlbeasts. They can be found amongst the wildlife there. Will you gather some Wildkin Feathers for me?

Progress

Try to avoid them if you can, <name>. The Wildkin may misread your interest as an intent to do them harm...

Reward

  • 1g 35s
  • 420-6050 XP

Completion

Thank you for bringing these to me, <name>.

What did you learn of the Wildkin?

Perhaps these feathers will tell us more. Ferocious monsters, or simply misguided pets? One day I'd like to know the truth...

I am going to continue my research -- please come back and talk to me again after some time has passed.
