this quest is triggered by finding an Illegible Orc Letter as an alliance adventurer in Stonetalon Mountains.

<Minx takes the letter from you and begins to read it.>
Uh oh...
<Minx smells the parchment.>
Disgusting!
<Minx folds the paper in half and looks at you.>
The good news is that this isn't toilet paper. The bad news is that the ink on this paper is a mixture of kodo poop and blood. That's not the worst of it, though...

that letter was written by an Overlord of the Horde. he was no peon, so he could for sure buy some ink made of herbs or something. instead: blood and kodo poop

ok, we always knew orcs didn't exactly smell like flowers. but going as far as to use kodo poop as ink is too much.

what's next? devilsaur poop lipstick?

Maybe he needed to write it that moment and was in a dire situation. Also note he used blood. Who else but a Warlock uses blood to write?

Orcs, it would seem.

Orcs have been known to resort to cannibalism and love killing everything that moves I thought? I would have assumed they would have jumped at the idea that to write a letter then get to go and slaughter something.

Also, I do hope this is a reference to Jim'll Fix It, seeing as he died a while back. Brb gona go see if anyone has decided

maybe he wrote the letter in middle of the battlefield? maybe he was wounded and had no other stuff to write with except a mix of kodo poop and blood? maybe it was an emergency?

I was gonna say devilsaur sweat lipstick. Then I remembered they're reptiles

Maybe he didn't have inscription or herbalism. I give him points for creativity.

the guy who wrotte the letter was overlord krom'gar. except for this kodo poop thing, he never got his hands dirty in stonetalon. he'd always have his underlings or his... gigantic bomb to do the job for him.

magic sweat! a sweat-debuff or -curse maybe? magic will fix everything, trust me - i know what i'm doing. *casts flame strike onto himself*

on topic:
cool ink! blood and kodo poop. why didn't we have that idea earlier?! *makes notes*

that was a typo. I meant he could "buy" ink, not by. he wouldn't need to be a scribbe to buy ink

[Snorkle]

You guys lack imagination. Krom'gar was just punishing a lazy recruit by making him write a letter for him

[RawrPala]

I think that as an overlord of the horde, you wouldn't really need to buy anything, you'd just take it

I guess you're right

anyway, if a mere overlord uses kodo poop as ink, I wonder what disgusting crap garrosh himself uses to write his letters.

I also wonder if he knows how to write lol

[Trassk]

one of garrosh's command using crap to write his words.

Well given how thats what garrosh himself speaks it makes sense.

The only clan of orcs that were cannibals were the Bonechewer who stayed behind on Draenor. After BC most of them were wiped out.

Gross. Orcs are disgusting. "BLOOD AND FECES!"

No no, some of us orcs like to bath and keep our tusks clean. Its the few rotten apples that give us a bad rep.

[Zoma]

I wonder what Orcs used before joining up with Tauren.

probably wolf poop, ogre poop or maybe even orc poop lol

[Trassk]

I think it was one commander being an a-hole, basically using crap to write to the foreman in a mocking childish sense.
