Description
The Rites of the Earthmother are the steps a young tauren needs to take to gain respect in Thunder Bluff. First you must pass the Rite of Strength. In this test you must prove your bravery by slaying enemies of the tribe. Bristlebacks of Brambleblade Ravine to the east are encroaching on our tribal lands. They ambush our hunting parties and steal from the village by dark. Show your valor by slaying these villains and return to the Chief in Camp Narache with their belts as proof of your deeds.
