TheWoWDBThis quest gave me such a WC3 Archimonde cinematic vibe. While brief, I loved the design. :)

Description
While our forces gather, I would like you to have the honor of awakening our ancients. There is a particular ancient of lore we will need awakened. They are a master of magic, a teacher of our druids, and a force that has walked alongside us across many battlefields. Find their grove keeper to learn what is needed to wake the ancient.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Awaken the Ancient of War
If we are to muster for war, then there is an ancient we must bring with us or they will never forgive us. They are a mentor to myself and nearly every sentinel who serves the kaldorei. They are skilled in war, tactics, and rallying our greatest forces. And they fell asleep again.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Awaken the Ancient Protector
The enemy we face is a vast host with many capabilities. We will need to match their strength and versatility on the battlefield. To that end, I ask that you seek out Elder Verdantbark--an ancient protector who has long kept our people safe in times of war.
