Yes, I can tell this will do nicely, let me just work with it for a moment... Takar is a resourceful fellow to have around, isn't he? If only I could persuade him to move back to civilization.

Checked in with Rathiril then? Great. Lots of tension between the High Order and the Windshapers these days, but they keep things civil here in Shen'dar. Well, at least in the village anyway. What happens out in the wilds stays in the wilds. Now that that's done, you look like someone who might be looking for something to do with their hands. I've got a few things that need doing, if you are game for a bit of work?

Greetings child, my name is Sania Silverstream and I am a junior priestess in the Order of the Al'Aketh. Do you wish to learn more of our sovereign, the Windlord Al'Akir? There is always room at the Windlord's table for the righteous and the repentant.

The High Order's mission is vital to the survival of our people. We hold our elemental benefactors in the utmost regard, but we must face reality; they are gone now, and we are on our own. Between threats from within such as the Al'Aketh, and uncertainties of our security on this plane, it is our destiny as Highborne descendants of our ancestral home of Eldre'Thalas to use our gifts to ensure that the shen'dorei can stand on our own once again.

Very well done. You've felled beasts and laid low cultist interlopers. You have shown great promise but your path must soon take you beyond the relative safety of Thendal Village.

The ursera have grown far more aggressive of late. I wonder what has changed to cause this shift in behavior?

Thanks hero. This should help us get by for now. If we can't get the supply routes squared away soon though, a few stolen windstones will be the least of our worries.

Hello there, hero.

With this, you'll be able to set up a camp anywhere out in the wilderness. What you've learned is just the basics, so you won't be able to place too many furnishings around it. Raise your cooking skill and you might just be able to learn to make even bigger fires. You can also learn the basics of furnishing your campsites from other tradeskill trainers if you're savvy in their skills.

So now that we've learned the basics, why don't you go and learn a tradeskill from the trainers in the village nearby. They will also teach you how to create a camp fixture suitable to your new profession.

Well met!

It was all I could do to stop myself from going over and joining you from my position here. I can only hope that these louts got the message and clear out of here soon. Thank you, hero. You have the gratitude of the Rangers of Thendal Grove.

Well done, well done, adventurer. I see we've done right in deciding to train you. Your performance certainly does not disappoint. I've no qualms in showing you the way to control your newly bound succubus. Observe carefully.

These sneakthieves have likely been breaking into our supplies for months. I tried to convince Aonda to put a raid together to clear out that bandit cave for good, but she didn't want to pull the few peacekeepers we have away from the village. With the cultists at Falaath Village to the south growing in numbers, I suppose I can't fault her for that.

You will need a powerful reagent to tempt an incubus -- an object that represents great devotion and love. With my scrying, I have located a small figurine that should be suitable for your ritual. Thousands of years ago, the figurine belonged to a young couple. The original owners are no more, but their keepsake has survived to the present day. Follow the road north into Ashenvale, then west and past Maestra's Post. You will see a house nestled amongst the trees. There you will find what you seek.

Well done, hero. The Rangers of the Grove are in your debt.

This tome appears to be about the Valor family. I believe I've heard of a few of them. Good folk. Not sure they merit an entire book about them. I'll make you a copy of the tome. If you see anything else related to them on your travels, I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

My gift is simple, and mundane. I cannot peer between worlds such as those with the skysight, nor can I draw upon the magic of the ley lines beneath Zephras like others can. But a gift it remains and I am grateful to have it. Appreciation of what you have is the key to happiness. Yearning for what you may have, or what you have lost, only leads to despair.

Hops and Barley, yeast and malt The taste-buds feel a virtual assault, No need to plead, no need to beg For Thunderbrew Lager comes in a keg!

Do you feel it? Yes? Good! You have taken your first steps. You'll find that with your abilities, you will be able to tap into latent magical energy in many locations. Doing so will provide a myriad of benefits, some profound, others more subtle. You won't know until you tap into them, But that's the best part of the gift... making the unknown known. If we are to survive these dire times, we must be unwavering in our search for knowledge... and power.

Was your crossing difficult, adventurer? You have come a long way to speak with me. But fear not, I know why Gakin has sent you, and he was wise to, for I can help you in your search.

Aetheen sent you, then? I'll confess, you don't look like much to me, but Shen'dar Village won't turn down willing aid, much less aid sent from Elder Aetheen herself.

Excellent work, adventurer. You'd make a fine ranger if this whole "adventurer" thing doesn't work out for you.

Was your search a success, adventurer?

Thank you very much for these. As elves we all have a deep connection to magic and these windstones are becoming more and more precious as the magic imbued into this island by the great anchor pylons continues to fade. Windstones aren't the only beneficial thing you can harvest from the land. Please, take one of these manuals.

With the bandits dispersed, that is one less problem for us to deal with. Though I confess that now I worry that any bandits who survived may turn next to the cult for protection, further bolstering their increasingly alarming numbers. Still though, we'll take the victories where we can get them.

A good campfire is the foundation to any good camp.

Have you found anything? I'm not holding out much hope.

Sometimes I wonder if Surena was not a succubus in disguise, sent to warp and twist my mind... Ha! I give her too much credit, I think.

This is most troubling, but unfortunately unsurprising. We've been aware of the cult's movements for some time, but we've been content to watch from afar. Their agitation of the wind spirits near the standing stones is a clear escalation on their part. You've performed a difficult but necessary service for Thendal Grove, adventurer. Thank you.

Old Borgy sent you? Always looking out for me. We could certainly use another set of hands around here. Business has all but stopped with the recent tragedy, and I think you could help set things right.

Having the skills needed to survive the outdoors is critical. A well-rested and well-prepared adventurer has a much higher chance of surviving this lifestyle.

It pains me to shed shen'dorei blood here in the grove, but we do what we must.

What I ask of you is not easy, but you must be prepared for much greater challenges if you are to survive long enough to be of service to Zephras Isle.

That turncoat risked everything to escape the cult and bring us this crystal...

Did you get the fishing supplies?

We are currently accepting donations for wool cloth. A donation of sixty pieces of wool cloth will net you full recognition by the Gnomeregan Exiles for your generous actions. Our stores are such on wool that we would only need sixty pieces from you total; we should be able to acquire enough from others in the realm to support our drive. If you have the sixty pieces of wool cloth on you and are ready to donate them, I'm able to take them from you now.

Oh what's this, then?

Thank you, stranger! You'll find that these are delicious once roasted! Please excuse me, it won't take me long to whip this up.

What have you brought from the depths, mage.

Judging by this map, it certainly looks like these Dark Irons are planning some sort of incursion into the vaults beneath Ironforge. The band ye busted up to the east must be a scouting force. Thank ye for bringing me this. If we hurry, we might be able to beat them to whatever their goal is down there.

Mmm, I think you are going to like what I can cook up with these acorns!

Ah, you've made it. Wonderful. It's going to take us some time to get ourselves established here, so you may want to take some time to explore the city. Be warned however, try not to venture too far from the safety of the city proper. As idyllic as this new land appears, it can be extremely dangerous to wander outside of Dalaran without appropriate preparation and experience.

Cirrusflies aren't to be underestimated. They might not seem dangerous, but you have to watch out for the bigger ones. The bigger they are, the meaner!

You have returned. What news comes from Stormwind?

Let's see here. Roy's Book Club, isn't it? I recognize this wrap technique. Well, if he says this is what people want to talk about, it's all fine by me. The material we receive back is always in as good of quality as we loaned it, so we know they're treating it with respect regardless of how provoking the words may be.

What do ye need, citizen?

<Lotheluum wears a look of genuine terror as you recount the events from the druid den.> I--I'm sorry, adventurer. I need just a moment. There are no words I possess that can describe the loss. This is grave news indeed. If this missive is not fabricated, then we indeed have at best an accomplice and at worst a traitor here in Valanaar. I will take this to the High Elder immediately! I will not let my fellows sacrifice be in vain.

Ah, you have returned. I do hope you have brought the relics with you?

These are them! Some of them even smell exotic! Fantastic, I can't wait for us to have lively conversations about these writings. Cellar after hours, of course. Thanks for the quick errand run, adventurer. As promised, it's on the house. We keep our word here.
