"It was the incessant need for a fount of power that destroyed our civilization and brought our home to ruin."

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.

Where this quest fits
Before 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.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Quel'dorei
<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.
