Quick Facts

• Type: One-time handoff quest (Alliance only)
• Location: Silver Covenant Pavilion, Argent Tournament Grounds, Icecrown
• Rewards: 10 reputation with Exodar and Silver Covenant. Grants the Argent Valor achievement (if not already earned). Places an Argent Lance in your inventory (if not already obtained).
• Prerequisite: Complete The Aspirant’s Challenge (first time) or The Valiant’s Challenge for a previous city (subsequent times).

Walkthrough

Walk to Colosos, the draenei grand champion, inside the Silver Covenant Pavilion and speak with him. Quest complete.

For draenei characters, this is your default first Valiant quest offered after the Aspirant’s Challenge. For other Alliance races, this becomes available after you’ve championed your own racial city, as one of the four remaining cities to champion on the road to Crusader.

What This Unlocks

Same Valiant daily structure as any other city: 5 dailies per day awarding Valiant’s Seals. Collect 25 seals (5 days), then complete the Valiant’s Challenge jousting duel to become Champion of the Exodar. See The Valiant’s Charge for the full daily breakdown.

Lore & Secrets

Colosos

Colosos is the draenei grand champion representing the Exodar at the tournament. He’s a dual-wielding warrior who carries two alternately colored versions of Honed Voidaxe, a nice visual detail given the draenei’s connection to void-touched weaponry through their history with the naaru and the Burning Legion.

Colosos later appears as a boss in the Trial of the Champion dungeon when fought by Horde players. He’s one of the five Alliance grand champions that Horde groups face in the dungeon’s first encounter.

The Exodar’s Place in the Tournament

The Exodar’s participation in the Argent Tournament is notable from a lore perspective. The draenei are relative newcomers to Azeroth (having crash-landed on Azuremyst Isle just before the events of The Burning Crusade), yet here they stand alongside the established Alliance races as equals in the tournament.

Their delegation’s presence signals how fully the draenei have integrated into the Alliance since their arrival, and Colosos’s enthusiasm in his gossip text (“We have come to compete for honor, renown, and the right to fight the Scourge alongside the brothers of the Argent Crusade”) reflects a people eager to prove themselves.

Cross-Expansion Connections

• Shadowlands (Death Rising event): Colosos was present at the Argent Tournament Grounds during the pre-Shadowlands Death Rising event, when the Scourge ran rampant after Sylvanas shattered the Helm of Domination.
• Title: Completing the full Exodar champion path and reaching Exalted with the Exodar faction awards the title “of the Exodar” (e.g., “Vikstone of the Exodar”).
