What to do
Description
<The finger-like branches of one of Nordu's burning limbs part, revealing an untouched, glimmering seed.> This is the Heart of the Forest. The seed of life. Take this to your Arch Druid at Aessina's Grove - Hamuul Runetotem will know how to invoke its power. I promise you, the wilderness spirit will be silent no longer. New life will bloom from the ashes of old. Thank you, {race}. My time is done.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Firefight
It is... too late for me. Burned to all but the core. I have lived eons ... yet still my end seems sudden. New life can spring from old. I still have wisdom to pass on. Please... do not let them take me before my work is done. Keep the tormentors at bay... just a little longer, <class>.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Hammer and the Key
My Nemesis. Still lives. The servants of fire still come. We must pursue. Into their den. The ogres know the way. Slay the Field Captains. Recover the Glyph of Opening. This is the way.
