An Unclear Path

An Unclear Path is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 12 of 20 in the Origins storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Acherus: The Ebon Hold at 54.2, 75.0. It rewards 7,700 experience and money.

Description

Much of Illidan's formative years were spent in Val'sharah, alongside his twin brother, Malfurion.

As young night elves, the twins vied for the affection of the young priestess, Tyrande, as they underwent the trials of the demi-god, Cenarius.

We must travel to the Dreamgrove now, where Illidan's true path would be forged.

/way 45.24 33.91 Unclear Path

It is northeast of the island where Black Rook Hold is.

When you get close enough, you will hear a voice and a special action button will appear to proceed.

You do NOT (and cannot) enter the Dream Grove itself as this is the Druid Order Hall.
