Am i the only one who thought that this was somewhat anticlimatic?

Comment by Necropos

Ugh. So much hippie dippy nonsense. I can remember when the Horde used to have some cojones, and not so long ago either. Hopefully we can get back there someday.

Comment by Undeadwarperson

Anyone know how to start this quest? Im in orgrimmar and dont see anything. I haven't done it yet. I completed the entire war campagin and the raid.

After completing the quest, the Horde leaders are outside discussing other matters. In particular, Thalyssra seems to be trying to woo Lor'themar!

"Thank you again for leading our forces in Nazjatar alongside me, Thalyssra. Your insight and courage were key to our victory."
"It was an honor, Lor'themar. I am relieved the war is finally over. Now you have no excuse to refuse my invitation to visit Suramar."
"Well, uh... I have been away from Silvermoon for some time. No doubt my people require-"
"Halduron has assured me that Quel'Thalas is quite secure. And Rommath said that if you put up a fuss, he will teleport you to the Nighthold himself."
"(jokingly) It seems my closest allies are conspiring against me!"
"Would it really take a conspiracy for you to spend some time alone with me?"
"No... my lady, it would be my pleasure."
"A sutiably chivalrous answer, Regent Lord. There may be hope for you yet! Perhaps I can even teach you to relish the... simpler joys in life."
"Perhaps you can, First Arcanist. Perhaps you can."

Hey, after being trapped in the Suramar bubble for 10,000 years, can you blame her? Also, Baine is giving some council to Rokhan.

"Since da death of Vol'jin, da Darkspear been lookin' ta me ta guide dem. I been fightin' for dem a long, long time... but dat don't mean I deserve ta be their chieftain."
"I felt much the same when my father died. It happened suddenly, and I feared that I was unprepared to take his place. But I was ready, just as you are. You prove that in Zuldazar and at Stromgarde. The Darkspear have faith in you, and so do I."
"Heh. Ya best be stoppin da flattery, Baine, before it be goin to me head. But... da Darkspear do be needin a leader. A voice on da council. And if it gotta be me... den it be me."
"Trust your judgement Rokhan. It has led you this far."
"It be havin a lotta help. From da Darkspear, from da loa... and from da Horde."

Thrall is also talking to Gazlow out back.

"Gallywix has fled the city along with the rest of Sylvanas' inner circle. That leaves the Bilgewater Cartel without its Trade Prince. Gazlowe, it was your cleverness and ingenuity that built the walls of Orgrimmar. I can't think of anyone I would trust more to take over as leader."
"A cartel ain't a clan or tribe, Thrall. Steamwheedle, Bilgewater... it don't matter who supplies the cash, so long as the pay's good. 'Under new management' is just another way of sayin' 'oppurtunity's knockin.' So, sure... you got yourself a deal!"
"Can you be sure that none of the goblins here are still being funded by Gallywix?"
"Oh, I guarantee they are. That's why I'm gonna pay 'em MORE than that cheapskate!"

Finally, Overlord Geya'rah is confiding in Lilian.

"The Mag'har have never known life without a warchief. I will be hard for them... and for me. But it seems your people have lost a queen as well."
"The Forsaken are torn by turmoil and doubt. Many still love Slyvanas, even after all she has done. Others believe their home remains in the Horde."
"And you? Where do your loyalties lie?"
"Where they always have- with the Forsaken. To be raised into undeath is to be forever haunted by the ghosts of your past. A caring hand can offer comfort through the pain."
"I see no crown upon your head. Are you the new queen they seek?"
"No. I'll speak on my people's behalf, but I won't rule them. There is another I believe will prove better suited to that task... when the time is right."
"The love you hold for your people burns as bright as my own for the Mag'har. I wish you good fortune, Lilian Voss."
"To us all, Overlord."

EDIT: Missed one. You can also speak to Dark Ranger Velonara, who shares the view of a former Banshee Loyalist.
"These are interesting times. We dark rangers were fiercely loyal to Sylvanas. We trusted her... followed her commands.
It is clear that our loyalty was never truly reciprocated.
Some of my sisters and brothers have chosen to remain at the Dark Lady's side. I, and many others, have not.
<Velonara's expression becomes steely. Determined.>
I refuse to be a slave to this torment."
Both the sin'dorei and Forsaken are my kin. I stand with them, and with the Horde."

So, why is Sylvanas still in Grommash Hold? She should be phased out for players that progressed through the part of the story where she left. Whoever is in charge of Orgrimmar should be there instead, whoever that is.

Comment by Wylyth

Now the question is, who will be the leader of Ratchet?

Comment by Wyr3d

So in the end looks like there won't be a new WarChief..

Not sure I agree with that idea. Each faucet appears to establish their individual leaders though, some old, some new, discussed in a few conversations throughout the area after the quest is handed in. The transcript has already been mentioned in another post, so I'll just list them below:

Orcs >> Your guess is as good as mine. Thrall doesn't want it, and Saurfang is dead. saying that, most of the notable orcs are dead by this point. Currently Eitrigg is a stand-in in Grommosh Hold, but he doesn't have the credentials to become leader. High Warlord Cromush I guess. Who else is there? Maybe Rokaro and Samuro will come home to Orgrimmar :P
Undead >> Lilian Voss, apparently. At least, for now. She seems to hint at someone more fitting, and I can think of a few myself. I swear if it's that bint Calia Menethil though, I'll not be happy. Even Galen Trollbane is a better choice than her..
Tauren >> Still have Baine as chieftain. I do not approve given the guy is a &*!@#. Stands to reason being friends with Anduin.
Trolls >> Rokhan likely to become the new leader. I approve.
Blood Elves >> Lor'themar may be retiring, given the push for him to visit Suramar. I'm banking on Liadrin, although Valeera has been showing her face a fair be too.
Goblins >> Gaz'lowe. Not unexpected to be honest. Never understood why Gallywix was tollerated back in Cataclysm given the fact he was a giant asshat and screwed over both your char, and his the whole Bilgewater Cartel in the starter zone!
Panda >> Ji Firepaw. As Master of Houjin, he's the de facto leader of Horde panda...since apparently every panda who choose Horde was this school

Nightborne >> Thalyssra won't be going anywhere any time soon.
Highmountain >> I'd say Mayla, but she's not really appeared at all in BFA. Lasan Skyhorn has been around a fair bit though.
Mag'har >> Geya'rah >> Currently the Overlord, since you-know-who hasn't made his way through yet.
Zandalari >> Talanji, but she's busy with things at home. I'm guessing she'll settle on a Horde ambassador soon.
Vulpera >> Probably Dot and Dolly, right? None of the main NPCs seem to fit. Kiro supposedly, but he'd rather play his flute by the watering hole. Stupid furries...

For a little fun, after you've heard all the stories, run about on your mount past them all for a cacophony of voices XD

Comment by Takezow

So now that 9.0 hit and this quest (and apparently the cutscene attached to it as well, since it did not appear during the 16th anniversary event) have been removed from the game, there is no way for peopled who haven't done this during 8.3 to effectively witness the end of the Blood War/BFA besides watching it on YT? Or am I missing something?

What's the reasoning here besides denying people who like to follow the story (but haven't played during BFA) to have a chance to witness the expansion epilogue in game?

Comment by Lazmik

This quest is not available to me. Finished all the so called prerequisites and now they are saying that they ain't required anymore but that doesn't change the fact that the quest is a no show in game for me as of Wednesday 18th nov.

Comment by Nulgar

Sigh, so many other quests have irrelevant play-through videos attached, why not this one, which would need it?

I found this video of the cinematic and the Geya'rah / Lilian Voss conversation, and a full transcript can be found on Wowpedia.
