Ambassador to the Ancient is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-40 in Gorgrond. It rewards 5,450 experience and money.
It appears that a genesaur was killed here not long ago and this growth has sprung up. It is stirring up the local monsters and I fear for our outpost.
There is a strange ancient that wallows in grief here and is not hostile. Perhaps you could "harvest" its story?

I don't know if it's optional, but Don't Do This Quest!
He'll end up in your Garrison and he's huge and annoying and stomps around making your screen shake all the time!
Talking to Birchus (spoiler alert!)
Here is the conversation you have with Birchus to complete this quest:
I should crush you but what would be the point... I have failed in my duties and can only wait until I am crushed to dust...
- Thank you for not killing me. What duty have you failed?
Dionor was a powerful and bold champion of our kind. He sought to break the ancient lines of battle and take the fight to the enemy.
It ended with his defeat at the hands of several Magnaron... Here he fell, some of his energy creating a small sanctuary for those of us that remained until I could fulfill my duty... but I cannot...
- What were you supposed to do?
When a champion like Dionor falls, a Death Bloom will grow from his husk. I was to collect this Bloom and perform a sacred rite here to release his life force back to the overgrowth.
As I was about to do this I was set upon by fur-covered two legs and they took the Bloom first. We tried to follow but they raised barriers and used fire to drive us back.
So now I stand vigil over my failure until we are all ground into the tortured soil by our great enemy...
- So getting that bloom back might fix things... interesting...
