The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Tenders and Feral Tenders are likely the first hostile creatures a blood elf character will come across. They are located to the west and south of Lanthan Perilon, the quest giver. Note that Feral Tenders have mana, unlike the regular Tenders, and can cast a weak Renew spell upon themselves, restoring a bit of their health over time. Although both varieties have a bit more health than some of the other creatures on Sunstrider Isle, they are not difficult for an appropriate-level character.
This quest is excellent to work on whilst heading to the various spots to collect the quest items for the 'Solanian's Belongings' quest.
This quest can only be completed by blood elves

Description
Before sending you to the Academy, I want you on another task that needs to be dealt with immediately. Once used to aid us in the gardening of Sunstrider Isle, the bestial tenders now have grown out of our control. Clear them out with due haste, but be warned - their lack of control has made them aggressive. It is such aggression that forces us to put down these once-gentle servants. It doesn't please me to ask you to do such a task, but survival is survival. I'll mourn later.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unfortunate Measures
Your effort has made something clear that, honestly, I wish were not true. The unchecked power of the Burning Crystals has maligned a much larger swath of the isle's natural balance than I thought. We must now take on more unfortunate measures to reclaim control.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Felendren the Banished
A betrayer of our people resides atop Falthrien Academy to the southwest. Felendren is his name, and he was banished from blood elf lands for failing to heed the warnings of our teachers and elders. He is the worst of our society, as he lives only to feed his insatiable magical addictions.
