Brood of Nozdormu Reputation

• Get the flight path at Cenarion Hold
• Accept What Tomorrow Brings from Baristolth of the Shifting Sands

The Brood of Nozdormu is not in your reputation list until you meet Anachronos. Baristolth of the Shifting Sands, in the main building of Cenarion Hold, sends you to him. Meeting him sets you at Hated, 0 of 36,000: Neutral is 42,000 reputation away, and almost all of it comes from raids. Blackwing Lair and the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj are not among the first raids Blizzard has announced for Forever: until one of them opens, the 100 from Baristolth's first quest is all the Brood reputation there is. The Legacy perk Diplomat adds up to 10% to every gain; the numbers in this guide are without it.

• Complete What Tomorrow BringsMeet Anachronos

Anachronos, a bronze dragon in elf form, stands at the mouth of the Caverns of Time in eastern Tanaris, south-east of Gadgetzan. Walk up to him.

• Turn in What Tomorrow Brings at Baristolth of the Shifting Sands100
• Accept Only One May Rise from Baristolth of the Shifting SandsOptional

Only One May Rise wants the head of Broodlord Lashlayer, the third boss of Blackwing Lair (a 40-player raid in Blackrock Mountain). Everything after it needs the head, the fragment turn-ins included: until you have it, What Tomorrow Brings is all the Brood reputation there is, solo or not.

• Collect Head of the Broodlord Lashlayer for Only One May RiseOptionalHead of the Broodlord Lashlayer: raid of 40

Blackwing Lair is a 40-player raid at the top of Blackrock Mountain. Broodlord Lashlayer always drops his head.

The Path of the Righteous wants 200 Silithid Carapace Fragments. Every hive silithid drops one to three on most kills: the Hive'Ashi Workers, Stingers, Swarmers and Defenders north and north-west of Cenarion Hold, and those of Hive'Zora in the west and Hive'Regal in the south. Almost all of them are elites of level 57 to 60: one at a time solo, faster in a group.

• Collect Silithid Carapace Fragment ×200Optional
• Turn in The Hand of the Righteous at Baristolth of the Shifting SandsOptionalThe Hand of the Righteous: 200 fragments, 200
• Reach Neutral with Brood of Nozdormu

After The Path, Baristolth takes 200 more fragments for The Hand of the Righteous: 200 reputation, again and again, but only until Neutral. From Hated 500 that is 208 turn-ins, 41,600 fragments, 20,000 to 30,000 elite kills: the only way without the Temple, and a very long one. With the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj open (a 40-player raid) it is far quicker: every Temple trash mob gives 100 until 2,999 of 3,000 Neutral, about 9,500 a full clear, so four to five clears reach Neutral. Save every Ancient Qiraji Artifact and Qiraji Lord's Insignia you loot until the trash stops counting: they pay the same later.
