Did you get the fishing supplies?

If you need training as a cook, I have a few tips and tricks I could pass on! Ho ho! Throw on an apron and let's get started!

What do you need directions to?

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?

"The skyseer elders among the Windshapers, by contrast, place implicit trust in the wind spirits and regard any questioning of their designs as an affront to our benefactors. They hold that our patrons in Skywall have already sacrificed much to bring us here and sustain us. They assert that if any further knowledge was vital to our survival, they would surely reveal it in due course. This difference in belief has given rise to no small measure of tension between the two orders. Whatever the truth may be, it is plain that we are not alone in this realm, and that many mysteries yet remain beyond our present understanding."

<You touch the small white crystal and you can hear faint sounds on the wind. This is an audio recording of some sort.> "On The Windlord."

It is vital that we learn more about what the cult is planning, and with the turncoat dead the information may have died with him...

Greetings, hero. Do you come seeking the blessings of the Windlord?

Ten thousand years before the orcs and humans clashed in their First War, the world of Azeroth cradled only one massive continent surrounded by the infinite, raging seas. That land mass, known as Kalimdor, was home to a number of disparate races and creatures, all vying for survival amongst the savage elements of the waking world. At the dark continent's center was a mysterious lake of incandescent energies.

The Wildhammer dwarves might have fast steeds, but can those Aerie Peak gryphons stand the heat of The Great Forge? I think not!

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.

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.

After you've become acquainted with the other leaders of the alliance, Lord Fordragon has requested that you report back to him here in the keep. I wish you good fortune in your journeys, Skyborne.

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.

The Council of Silvermoon, which ruled over the elves of Quel'Thalas, entered into a secret pact with the Magocrat lords of Dalaran. The elves told the Magocrats about the history of ancient Kalimdor and of the Burning Legion, a history which still threatened the world. They informed the humans that so long as they used magic, they would need to protect their citizenry from the malicious agents of the Legion.

Rorian has told me much of you. I am likely unknown to you, but I am a member of the Council of Elders here on Zephras Isle. I've come to read the flow of the winds here in Thendal Grove. I'm also here to assess young shen'dorei such as yourself that are coming of age. So tell me, are you ready to take your next step? Are you ready to serve Zephras Isle?

Hello there, hero. I am High Tinker Mekkatorque of the exiles of Gnomeregan.

So ye see now, mage? Thick as cockroaches they are, and that's just the ones we can see from the sky. Ye look like a sturdy enough sort. How's about a bit o' violence?

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

What do ye need, citizen?

Where would you like to fly to?

Which profession trainer would ye be looking for?

What do ye need directions to?

Friend - Stormwind needs your assistance and your generosity! Our once large stockpile of textiles has run critically low. Stormwind is now engaged in a multi-pronged effort to rebuild those stocks for the manufacture of textiles and bandages! Your donation of cloth would help Stormwind immensely, as well as earn the respect of the citizenry!

The agony I feel over her loss is immeasurable, but it is what is necessary for the balance. You have demonstrated a resolve to persevere, even when a terrible price is asked. You have done well, druid. I shall grant you the blessing to take on the shape of my kin. Be a beacon for those that lack the strength to persevere and a defender of those in need. Go now, and embrace the way of the claw, child.

Where would you like to fly to?

It gladdens me to hear that we have High Elder Shadowsong's blessing for our expedition. Now that the cult has been defeated and preparations have been made, I think it's finally time. Ansirem has worked diligently to help us get stable skycutter transport going between the city of Dalaran and Zephras Isle. We've done as much testing as we can, and the time has come for our vanguard to depart.

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.

Greetings, young shen'dorei. I have come to you because I sense you are ready to undertake the trial to determine if you understand my spiritual nature or not. I will have you take the trial of the Great Cat Spirit of Azeroth, but as you are from Zephras, I wished to oversee your progress myself. After all, it is my shape you would take, not that of a Azerothian cat spirit. Let us begin.

If you've come looking for the finest craftsmanship on this or any other continent in the world, then you've come to the right place! Grimand Elmore, at your service!

The clothcraft of the Shen'dorei is a harmonious imitation of the flowing, carefree currents of the winds. While the spirits have left us, and I know not when I may see them dance once more... I find great comfort in my art, if only as a distraction. I can teach you to work the cloth as well, if you'd like to learn?

Where are you going? Well if you're looking to get there quickly, then look no further!

...that's about all I have to say about it. I was--um--somewhere else before I was here. Now I'm here and I have my friends, and my things. T-things I built, I mean. That's about all I need. I think that's all I need, anyway. I have to say though, it is nice to talk to someone who will talk back. The forest spirits try, but they just end up singing at me. That's nice in its own way, but not exactly s-stimulating conversation.

Lord Lothar rallied the remnants of Azeroth's armies after their defeat at Stormwind Keep, and then launched a massive exodus across the sea to the northern kingdom of Lordaeron. Convinced that the Horde would overcome all of humanity if left unchecked, the leaders of the seven human nations met and agreed to unite in what would become known as the Alliance of Lordaeron.

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.

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?

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.

Hi there. I'm Gubber Blump.

I sell only the finest arcane gear, made by the crafters and mages here in the city of Stormwind.

You have returned. What news comes from Stormwind?

To maintain our link to the mainland, we have hippogryphs constantly flying between Rut'theran Village and Darkshore.

Greetings, As a guest of the Alliance, you have been given leave to travel freely throughout Alliance lands. This document will serve as a guide to help you reach the other member cities of our alliance.

Rorian sent you? Good. I could use your aid.

Your first stop should be Ironforge which can be reached via the technological marvel known as the Deeprun Tram. You can find the entrance to the tram in the Dwarven District here in Stormwind, just to the southwest of the keep. The tram will transport you safely to the heart of Ironforge City. Once you arrive, explore the city and locate High Tinker Mekkatorque and King Magni Bronzebeard in Tinker Town and the Great Forge, respectively. Introduce yourself as an agent of the Skyborne and they will show you their hospitality.

The city of Darnassus can be found across the sea, off the coast of northern Kalimdor. The city itself rests at the top of the great tree, Teldrassil. The safest route for you currently is via the harbor on the west side of Stormwind. Take the ship departing from the southernmost dock to the port of Auberdine. Upon arriving, proceed to the north side of the Auberdine docks and take the ship there to Ru'theran Village. This village contains a magical transporter that will take you into the city itself. Explore Darnassus and seek out Tyrande Whisperwind, the High Priestess of Elune.

I sent a few of our remaining mages to ensure that Valennia and her forces were able to escape as well. She should be resting at High Elder Shadowsong's residence now. Ansirem had to return to Azeroth, but he and I discussed the next steps for the High Order before he departed. We survived the day, but Zephras is dangerously vulnerable now and we must make plans for what is to come.

Greetings, young hero. Welcome to the hall of the Tradesman's Guild. Resources are tight on Zephras right now, but you should be able to find a variety of materials and wares here to keep you in top adventuring form. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ah, you are back. I hope your adventures have given you a sense of the scale and wonder of our world. I know it must seem overwhelming to you, but if you are to help your people, you must be prepared for whatever may come your way while you are on Azeroth. While you wait for your order to establish itself in Dalaran, I suggest you turn your attention to the lands around Stormwind. Westfall in particular can always use more strong adventurers to lend them aid, if you are willing.

The sinister agents of the Burning Legion, who had been banished when the Well of Eternity collapsed, were lured back into the world by the heedless spellcasting of the magicians of Dalaran. Though these relatively weak demons did not appear in force, they did sew considerable confusion and chaos within the streets of Dalaran.
