“The Venture Company’s on its way out of Grizzly Hills. They used to run logging operations here, but things got a little too dangerous for them. Their abandoned sites are up for grabs and we sure as hell can’t let the Horde get their hands on them. The Blackriver Logging Camp is the smallest of the three logging sites in this zone, but we still need it. Do your part and fend off the Horde forces.
Any lumber they get here will be made into weapons to be used against us elsewhere.”

Walkthrough
Scout Captain Carter is located down the winding trail that leads west and downhill from Amberpine Lodge. She can be tricky to find if you don’t know the path. From the lodge, head southwest toward the river.
After picking up the quest, cross the river southwest to the Blackriver Logging Camp. Kill 10 Conquest Hold Raiders or enemy players. The Raiders are the primary NPC targets here and are easy to find throughout the camp. Return to Scout Captain Carter to turn in.
Efficiency Tips
Lore Context
The quest text explains that the Venture Company is pulling out of Grizzly Hills because things got too dangerous. Their abandoned logging camps are now contested between Alliance and Horde forces.
Blackriver is described as the smallest of three logging sites in the zone, alongside Blue Sky Logging Grounds and Venture Bay.
The three-way conflict over logging resources (Alliance vs. Horde vs. Venture Company) is a recurring theme across the Grizzly Hills PvP dailies, tying the faction war to practical resource control rather than just territorial pride.
Explore Grizzly Hills’ hidden easter eggs, lore mysteries, and connections across Warcraft history in Vikstone’s Grizzly Hills Chronicles, along with the complete quest storyline.
Vikstone's War JournalScout Captain Carter laid out the situation. The Venture Company had fled Grizzly Hills, leaving their logging camps up for grabs. Blackriver was the smallest of the three sites, but lumber was lumber. Any wood the Horde claimed here would become arrows and siege engines elsewhere.

“Do your part,” Carter said. “Fend off the Horde forces.”
I did my part.
The camp fell quiet afterward. Carter nodded when I returned. “Nice work. We could use a few more folks like you up here.”
Blackriver is held, but the Horde doesn’t stay down for long. The next daily pushes south, and the name says it all in Kick ‘Em While They’re Down.
