Flutterflies are normally docile and calm, but rub them the wrong way and sometimes they'll surprise you.

We are holding them off for now, but they have greater numbers and our fighters are starting to get tired. We need to do something to break the stalemate, and do it fast.

I will make the cult pay for every drop of druid blood they have spilled this day.

I... am very sorry to hear that my nephew is dead. I thank you kindly for recovering this, and bringing it to me. It's not common that such capable young shen'dorei come down from the highlands. If you need work, please speak with Valennia Stormfist, the captain of the peacekeepers here in Valanaar. These days we need all the help we can get.

I have a small matter that requires just the kind of assistance that an adventurer like yourself can provide.

I'm glad you made it back. That group of Al'Aketh looked like stone cold killers. Thank you for your aid, I'll include your assistance in my report when I return to Valanaar.

We fought hard to get this far but it isn't over yet.

They were here for the pylon? But to what end? We were not the original reason for their attack? <Elegael trails off shaking with rage as she reads.> They murdered my people because we were an inconvenience! I shall tear apart every cultist with my fangs! I will make sure none leave this place with their lives. Go, swiftly! If the orders truly originated in Valanaar, it means it is likely a traitor hiding there. Give the missive to Lotheluum in Valannar and tell him what has transpired.

We could try and send peacekeepers to directly engage the cult forces, but we would not fare well against them in open battle. We are going to need a different approach.

I watched you take down those bandits from the window. Not bad.

<Elegael's face pales as you relay the fate of Jorel and the condition of the rest of the druids.> No... no! This is far worse than I had-- <Elegael chokes back a sob, and grits her teeth letting out a pained snarl.> They will pay. They will ALL pay. Anyone who allies with the Al'aketh will feel my wrath! This I swear.

We are as ready as we'll ever be.

This stuff can be a bit messy and it tends to get everywhere. You'll probably be shaking this out of your trousers for weeks, unfortunately. I do appreciate it, though. I've had this on my to-do list for weeks, but getting too far from the house when it's just me on my own with bandits lurking everywhere is a big risk. Don't bother asking me what I use this stuff for. Things. Stuff and things. Don't worry about it.

<Valennia looks gravely wounded.>

Windsong Crawler meat is common enough here but it was something of a delicacy on the islands of Anvilas and Siroccas. Was a time, back when the skystreams were open that the locals would mob me for the stuff when I'd make the trip to Shen'dramar or New Eldre'naar. Not been able to visit those places in... well... a long time.

The construct? It's been wandering around the fields for decades. Since the wind elementals left us, I think. Alvarion suspected that it used to haul harvests to market, or maybe tend to livestock back before this was an orchard. That could have been a thousand years ago though. In the old days, the Windshapers used to maintain these constructs. We've talked about petitioning them to come and take a look at it, but it's never been a pressing concern to us. Mostly we just ignore it these days.

Excellent work. Only good things can happen by eliminating the cult. Hopefully this sends a message that the Nightclaw are not to be trifled with and that our resentments run deep. I suspect you have your work cut out for yourself, taking on the cult. If you gather more ears bring them here.

What is that you have for me? Oh... oh no.

I'm sure there are more of these critters around Valanaar, but every enchanted skyhopper we stomp out makes the city just a tiny bit safer.

Thank you for returning these weapons, adventurer. I will get to work repairing them for the next wave of recruits.

Are our brethren's lives truly worth so little to you, Haalien?

<Elegael grimaces at the severed head, but nods curtly.> Thank you, adventurer. No matter how much rage I have within me, it would have been difficult to strike down my own cousin. Do not mourn for him. His ignorance and malice has killed many innocents this day.

Thank you for these. I will be sure to use every feather so their sacrifice will not be in vain.

It deeply saddens me to ask you to kill the young shrieklings, but with the rise in their aggression it is for the best. We can only handle so many emergencies at a time.

Have you found the Lady's Tear?

<Elegael takes the sticky mound of moss from you with a weak smile.> Thank you, adventurer, you have done well. This is exactly what we need.

Thank goodness our message got to Lotheluum. Wait, where are the rest of the reinforcements? Surely it is not just you they sent? <Elegael pales as you relay your conversation with Lotheluum.> So the message did not get through. We are in dire straights indeed then. It seems we must handle this on our own. Time is of the essence.

Tensions between the Windshapers and High Order are high right now, but we couldn't hope to carry out this plan without both groups on board.

So the rumors were true! I expected as much, tensions have been rising along the eastern coast for some time. I knew it would only be a matter of time before conflict crept into our territory. However, I am skeptical that we played a role in the tavern's destruction. Too many Horde civilians rely on that route for trade and travel. Perhaps you could investigate further if you find the time. In any case, today's deed is a victory for the Horde, and a stern warning to the Alliance!

Your return to Thunder Bluff is not without heralding, though I will need proof of your lessons learned in Moonglade before I will teach you your aquatic form. Do you have the Pendant of the Sea Lion?

Impressive, druid. None will doubt my tales when I return to Orgrimmar with this grim proof of the existence of these abominations. Rest assured this glory is yours however, and I will speak loudly of your deeds. Lok-tar!

It took the strength of six skilled fighters to defeat one of these creatures, and it still managed to fell four of us before we could put it down. If these monstrous beasts were to appear in greater numbers, the damage that the qullboar could inflict upon the land could be catastrophic.

Within the underbelly of the mage city to the north is a traitor to our kind. A necromancer of disturbing talent. He raises an army of undeath right under the Kirin Tor's nose. I care not for the fate of the mage city, adventurer, but this grave knight spits in the face of everything we Forsaken stand for. Put an end to him. Show him no one is beyond the reach of the Dark Lady.

With the city of Dalaran under siege by their own constructs, this is the perfect opportunity to, let's say, borrow a few samples. Imagine an army of arcane-powered abominations. The Dark Lady would have no choice but to recognize my alchemical prowess. Maybe even grant me head of the Royal Apothecary Society? Go to the city and find the constructs' cores. They are unlikely to give them willingly, so do what you must.

To complete the Trial of the Lake, you must use the Shrine Bauble within the boundaries of this shrine. Until you do so, your trial remains unfinished and it is at risk of failure.

Thank you for your hard work, adventurer. There has been an uprising in bandits and thieves intercepting trade routes as of late. If you find other crates lying around, please bring them here and we'll handle the rest. Here is your payment.

Take my update to Kadrak. Swiftly, adventurer.

Truly, this is a fascinating object. It shows indications of being much more than a mere carving or sculpture. While our elders may be interested in observing this artifact, the Earthen Ring are who would carry the most wisdom for our buried ruins and forgotten lands. Seek out Muln Earthfury, a direct approach is fitting for the gravity of what you carry. You can find him and other elders of the Earthen Ring council at the Skywatcher Plateau in northwest Mulgore.

Thank you, adventurer. These supplies will help get us through until the next shipment arrives.

Welcome back, adventurer. I can sense you have met with the Great Cat Spirit and have successfully completed the trial. All druids must pass a trial given by this spirit, though the trials vary by generation. I am proud you have passed and have heeded the wisdom of the Great Cat Spirit. It is an ancient spirit that is as deadly as it is playful, though I can sense you understand the spirit's nature already. I will now instruct you on how to take the shape of the cat.

Go to war, skyborne.

What can I do for ya, skyborne?

Those wretched harpies! They attacked the last caravan I had scheduled to deliver supplies to Freewind Post. We have enough supplies for the moment, but without more supplies, we'll run short soon. I'm not sure what the harpies plan to do with the extra supplies, but I would be grateful if you would recover them for me. They make their lair west of here. They can be found both at the base of the cliffside and inside a cave at the top.

This is wonderful news! I will send word to our suppliers that the harpies have been dealt with. At least that is one less threat the future caravans will need to worry about.

Thank you for your hard work, adventurer. There has been an uprising in bandits and thieves intercepting trade routes as of late. If you find other crates lying around, please bring them here and we'll handle the rest. Here is your payment.

Another delivery! Fantastic. Set it over by the pile and we can discuss your compensation.

Have you been able to recover the supplies the harpies stole?

Another delivery! Fantastic. Set it over by the pile and we can discuss your compensation.

Bring Mangletooth 10 blood shards and I will bless you with great speed. You will run with zhevra and the wind will be jealous of you. It will not last long, but it should be enough to help you travel throughout the Barrens.

The tortured soul lets out a foul energy in the presence of the offering stone. It appears you are closer to fulfilling the ritual.
