Objectives

Use the [Bark of the Walkers] to strengthen 3 Lothalor Ancients and then return to Sarendyrana at Stars' Rest.

• Lothalor Ancient strengthened: (3)

Description

It's not only the <race> race that has been impacted by what the blue dragonflight forces have done. The ancients of Lothalor Woods to the southeast have been affected as well.

Some have been corrupted-- avoid them at all costs--but most can still be saved. However, the treants of the woods seem to be immune to the magic seeping through the land and the arcane wyrms that have come with it.

Ask the treants for their bark and feed it to the ancients. Hopefully that will be enough to save them.

Progress

An added benefit of saving the ancients may turn out that they will consider assisting the Alliance with its hardships. Regardless, it is the right thing to do.

Now, how many were you able to strengthen, <class>?

Completion

Thank you, <race>! We've lost so much already. You've ensured that we won't lose the most majestic of Northrend's children.

I'll soon leave to speak with the ancients you saved and see if they will help us in our time of need.

Notes

Talk to a Woodlands Walker. They may just give you the bark, or they may turn hostile. Kill them and loot them if they attack. Use the Bark of the Walkers on friendly Lothalor Ancients. Watch out for Arcane Wyrms and the elite Corrupted Lothalor Ancients.

For the Horde version of this quest, see  [15-30] Rifle the Bodies.

Rifle the Bodies starts the main blue dragonflight questline in Dragonblight.

There are three breadcrumbs pointing to Stars' Rest: from Wintergarde Keep ( [15-30] A Disturbance In The West) and Moa'ki Harbor ( [15-30] Your Presence is Required at Stars' Rest) in Dragonblight, and from Death's Stand ( [15-30] The Lost Courier) in Borean Tundra, all of which are optional.

Objectives

Find the Moonrest Gardens Plans and return them to the Image of Archmage Modera at Stars' Rest.

•  [Moonrest Gardens Plans]

Description

The Moonrest Gardens to the southwest were the final resting place of a noble group of Highborne elves. It was also a powerful ley line nexus.

The blue dragonflight used a magical device they call a surge needle to destroy that nexus, freeing the power to redirect at their will.

I need more information and I hope that you will get it for me.

After the upheaval at the ruins, the ghosts of the Highborne rose up and decimated half of the mage hunters present. Go rifle their corpses for clues.

Progress

You have returned. What did you uncover?

Completion

Curious. They seek an accord with the ethereum. The ethereals could prove a powerful ally for Malygos and his madness.

This will not do!
