- Tast can be summoned at the forge in the Orc Camp in Povus. To learn how to summon him, you must have at least level 25 in the Orcish language and complete Tremmond Blackhammer's Secrets of Orcish Armor (part 2) quest. (The summoning requires you be touching the orc camp forge and say "Gurkah, Tast!" in nearby chat. However, it will not work until you have completed Blackhammer's quest.)
Note: When you summon Tast, a powerful semi-elite Barghest will appear instead and you must defeat it before he will appear. Also take note that every orc in the immediate area will be called to beat you down for your insolence.

History of Tast and His Foes
“A complex book written by an orcish sage. It documents the known history of Tast, the god of war and armies. It depicts Tast as a giant orc, taller than a building, riding atop a horse so dark that it seems to be made of shadow. The most interesting portion of the book documents "Old Tast," the first version of the god, who loved chaos. Over thousands of years, Tast changed. He now despises chaos for its own sake, and prefers organization, structure, and planning. Why the change? It's impossible to say, but this book explains all the popular theories.
