Find the Tauren of Highmountain, then borrow their ancestral artifact to mine ore.
That request sounded excessive.
But the Hammer of Khaz'goroth, one of the Pillars of Creation, had never belonged to the Highmountain Tauren in the first place.
It was a tool the Titan Khaz'goroth had given Deathwing to fulfill his duties as Earth-Warder.
After discovering the secret of Deathwing's corruption, the Highmountain Tauren and the Drogbar had joined forces to steal it, then used the sacred hammer to banish Deathwing.
So their so-called ancestral artifact was, in fact, stolen property through and through.
Was borrowing their ancestors' stolen property really so excessive?
Highmountain lay at the northernmost end of the Broken Isles.
It was one of Azeroth's tallest mountains, with rugged and magnificent scenery.
Several major Tauren tribes had lived here for generations.
The Tauren on Kalimdor were actually only a small portion of the Tauren race.
However, the Tauren of Highmountain differed greatly in appearance from those of Kalimdor.
The enormous antlers on their heads were truly extravagant in shape!
Originally, these Tauren of Highmountain had grown ordinary bovine horns on their heads too.
Huln Highmountain, a Tauren of legendary renown, had received a blessing from the White Stag God Malorne and grown a pair of enormous antlers.
His bloodline had spread over more than ten thousand years, until every Tauren in Highmountain had become a Tauren with enormous antlers.
These enormous antlers did not affect the Tauren's physical balance.
The Highmountain Tauren had even developed ways of fighting with their enormous antlers.
When Herad arrived at their seat of power atop the mountain, with an introduction from the Night Elf envoy, they were holding a Headbutting Contest.
Watching the Highmountain Tauren shove one another with their enormous antlers, Herad was quite speechless at their behavior.
