Description

We've found the blades, bound them together with wood and shade, and blessed them with an ancient incantation. If I'm not mistaken, it's time to use this thing. The sprites spoke of an ancient piece of sap within the Amber Hibernal, a mantid cave near their empress' palace. That must be the "Blood of Ancients" that the prophecy spoke of. Whatever's inside that sap must be important. Good luck, {name}.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bind the GlamourDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    It has been a very, very long time since our tribe has been called on to perform this rite. I will do the best I can.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Blood of AncientsDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    Lya and I agree on one thing: "Blood of Ancients" is almost certainly the sap from the great trees of the area. I should know - I brew with the stuff all the time. The most ancient tree of all is the one that Grand Empress Shek'zeer calls her home, now known as the Heart of Fear.
