World of Warcraft: Your Place In The World Quest Guide

Your Place In The World is the first quest a Horde character picks up in the Valley of Trials, handed out by Kaltunk. It has a single objective and no combat, so it takes under a minute to finish once you know where Gornek is standing.

Quick answer: Accept the quest from Kaltunk, then walk to Gornek and talk to him to complete it. He is in The Den in the Classic version and seated at the fire near Kaltunk in the retail version.

Quest basics

This is a level 1 Horde quest that begins and ends in Durotar. The only thing it asks you to do is find and speak with Gornek. There is nothing to kill and nothing to collect.

How to complete Your Place In The World

Talk to Kaltunk in the Valley of Trials and accept Your Place In The World. Click through his dialogue until the quest is added to your log. The objective reads to meet Gornek.

Open your world map to see your location in the Valley of Trials. The quest text tells you to follow the path to the Den, where Gornek is waiting.

Head along the dirt path, passing the fire pits, toward the large cave entrance set into the cliff. Entering it discovers The Den and gives you a small amount of exploration experience.

Move through the camp toward Gornek. He has a yellow question mark over his head to mark the turn-in.

Speak with Gornek and select Complete Quest. That finishes Your Place In The World and awards your experience and reputation.

In the current retail game Gornek sits at the fire directly behind Kaltunk, so you only need to turn around. In Classic he stands inside The Den to the north, which is the longer walk shown above.

Rewards by version

The experience and reputation you receive depend on which version of the game you are playing.

Version	Experience	Reputation
Classic (Original)	40 XP	+50 Orgrimmar, +50 Darkspear Trolls
Classic (Season of Mastery)	45 XP	+50 Orgrimmar, +50 Darkspear Trolls
Retail (Cataclysm onward)	100 XP	+75 Orgrimmar

There is no item reward. Entering The Den in Classic also grants a separate 25 experience for the area discovery.

How to confirm it is done

You will see a completion message in the chat log reading “Your Place in the World completed,” followed by your experience gain. The quest also disappears from your quest log.

If you want to check later whether your character already turned it in, type the matching command in chat. Use the first for retail and the second for Classic.

What comes next

As soon as you finish, Gornek offers the next quest in the starting chain. Accept it and keep going to work your way out of the Valley of Trials.

Cutting Teeth — kill Mottled Boars near the camp. Classic asks for 10, retail asks for 6.
Sarkoth — a Classic follow-up available alongside the boar hunt.

From there the Valley of Trials chain continues with quests such as Invaders in Our Home and Sting of the Scorpid, gradually leading you toward Sen’jin Village and the wider zone of Durotar.
