This quest has the same task as One Day at a Time and Continuing the Cure quests. Every part of Insurrection starts from the same quest, only titles are different. So, you have to choose one npc in Shal'Aran and give him / her [item=143597] to cure. Get back to Thalyssra then.

By this point in the quest chain many were wondering why this seemingly menial quest kept being repeated, and why it was spaced out the way it was. Yes, there was gating in the original Insurrection questline, but there was also a symbolism in the story. The quest was meant to be symbolic in two ways: 1.) Thalyssra said the Arcandor produced fruit only slowly, meaning only a few Nightborne could be freed from their addiction at a time. This had to be agonizing for the rest, having to wait for their own freedom. 2.) You, the player, the Champion, the Hero, are actively participating in not only freeing the Nightborne from the tyranny of Elisande and The Legion, you are literally freeing them from their addiction and helping them become a truly independent people.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

We are as ready as we will ever be. Once we put Valtrois' plan into action, we can attack the Sanctum of Order and put an end to Andaris. She will never expect us to have trained our withered against fel magic, and her hubris will be her downfall. Come, let us feed the people one last time.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
