TheWoWDBWithin the three quest of 'awaken the ancient of war/lore/protector' we are told sunwell invites catastrophe yet, sin'dorei is clinging to it.
I don't understand, how this writing passed the the Metzen's writing room (does it still called dojo?) or was he too busy regretting about the franchise being called warcraft, but excuse me? This comes from same night elves that cling to their fount of nature to literal *death* and beyond? I speak of course the world trees. How many did these tree huggers created these things again? How many calamities they caused. One in Val'sharra caused so much nightmare corruption, it almost turned every single wild god to nightmare beast.
One we are standing right on to make this plea to Shandris, literally made from death energy and came from shadowlands, with unkown long term effects to those who live around it and azeroth itself. Nordrassil still literally sucking from the juices of what remained from Well of Eternity...
Who wrote this? Who approved it? What is the point of having lore if nothing except the scene we are on matters. Am I going insane? *silent scream*

Also, this quest in particular. Ancient of War! Here are some big rocks. They should come in handy against the black hole wielding demons of the void.
You have to wait for the roots to spawn. They can spawn far away from the quest giver.

Description
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. If history is any lesson, they will only awaken with the aid of someone who has known war. Will you seek out their grove keeper to learn how to awaken them?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Children of the Stars
You have traveled far to ask my people to march to yet another war. Maiev's fervor is blunt but not misplaced. While Silvermoon is under threat, let us not forget how many of my people burned when the sin'dorei failed to aid us at Teldrassil. However, Bel'ameth stands tall thanks to their aid.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Awaken the Ancient of Lore
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.
