Etamsin staggers into Stonard with poisoned Alliance arrows in his back, and the Grin's medics fight to stop his worsening internal injuries. The thread ends while Vord is still calling for Felora and Yalim's help.
Etamsin leaves Ratchet by ship to search for his missing brother, then returns to Orgrimmar two months later to find the Grin changed by a new Warchief and the arrival of Death Knights.
Convinced reports of Gorfrunch's return are an Alliance deception, Yagyu dispatches hunters while Dawnmist, Eydrana, and Bok'theg pursue clues through contacts and dangerous soul magic. The search deepens distrust within the Grin and culminates in a confrontation that tests whether the clan belongs to its legendary former chief or its present Warchief.
Orphaned Etamsin is raised and trained by Zamarack before finding a place in the Blacktooth Grin. A recurring dream reveals that his older brother, Etomsin, was slain and raised by the Scourge—and may now be coming for him.
The warlock Etamsin confronts his resurrected brother Etomsin, a death knight intent on revenge for his earlier death. A magical explosion leaves Etamsin’s soul inside his brother’s body, where Stonard’s guards mistake him for the attacker.
