Here is the dialog from Tyrande Whisperwind throughout the ritual.

"Do not let anything disturb my meditation. I must see through the chaos."

"I see... swirling red mist. Gnashing teeth."
"Malfurion! He is in pain! Keep fighting, my love!"
"Such malevolent laughter... Xaivus, you cruel creature! I am coming for you!"

"His location is still unclear, but he lives."
"We must go deeper into the nightmare. Wherever he is, peril is already upon him!"

Description

Xavius has been this way, but his destination is unclear. The Nightmare smothers my mind! These refugees tell of an ancient Moonwell hidden in the ruins ahead. If it is uncorrupted, it will give me the focus I need. By Elune's light, we will find my husband yet. Meet me at the Moonwell at once, {class}.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Love LostVal'sharah · Level 10-45

    Malfurion, my love... In vision I saw him, enraged and then distressed, and now lost beyond my mind's reach. <race>, I know we have little reason to trust one another, but I will not turn away your help. If you value the sanctity of this world, you will come with me.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Regroup at the RefugeVal'sharah · Level 10-45

    I cannot think clearly in this place. Even though the moonwell is still pure, the corrupting influence of the Nightmare remains. Come, we will return to the refuge and gather our wits. Then we will continue the hunt for my husband.
