Awaken the Ancient Protector

Awaken the Ancient Protector is a quest for level 90. It is step 5 of 14 in the Gathering of the Elves storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Amirdrassil at 48.3, 70.7. It rewards 13,700 experience and money.

Description

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.

They are stubborn and may require you to entice them in some fashion, but their grove keeper will know best how to do so.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Awaken the Ancient of LoreLevel 90

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Quel'doreiLevel 90

    <name>, while the kaldorei are mustering, I could use your help as a witness as I ask another group for aid. We will need the quel'dorei for what is to come, no matter how much some of the sin'dorei will protest.
