Chieftain Swiftspear and Frostfloe Deep

A friend on another realm was telling me today about a new thing that hackers are doing. A buddy of his had been hacked and when he had regained his account, one of his characters was dead in a strange cave in Stormpeaks. After looking around for a bit, he noticed what appeared to be several horde bots (characters being run by algorithms) running around and killing the elementals in the cave, Wailing Winds. Apparently they're a pretty good source of crystallized fire. What hackers have been doing is taking geared toons on accounts they've hacked up to this cave and just farming crystallized fire and putting stacks of eternal fire on the AH. What my friend found more interesting was the fact that neither he nor the buddy who had been hacked, had seen this cave before. After talking with some friends on the horde side (Camp Tunka'lo is pretty much directly south of this cave) they found out their friends didn't know anything about the cave either. Since checking wowhead.com would make too much sense for them, I did it ;)

The cave is called Frostfloe Deep. Inside the cave is the spirit of a Tauren named Chieftain Swiftspear. As a Horde member only, you get a quest from Xarantaur at Camp Tunka'lo to find Swiftspear and ask him about his memories. Turns out, the cave is a burial ground for the ancient warriors of Tunka'lo that has been taken over by a strange, elemental force. This force has been disturbing the spirits in the tomb as well as erasing Swiftspear's memories from life. He asks you to take his totem and close the rifts that have opened inside the tomb to restore the peace. You get sent back to Xarantaur after that to finish up the quest lines. It's really an interesting bit of lore, almost makes me wish I played Horde. Almost ;)
