Description

You are now able to understand the script in which the journal was written.

Along the runestone, it is explained that the monument's gemstones were imbued with the power to summon a firestorm.

The storm could grow to be a mighty weapon either through sustained worship of Elune, or charged by spiritual energies of the fallen.

Looking down upon the newly revealed ghosts of Elune's disciples, you reason that you have neither the time, nor the inclination to worship the goddess of your enemy....

Do not AoE down the Disciples of Elune. The Vortex can only absorb energy from one at a time, and if you kill them all, it takes quite a while for more to respawn.

I inadvertently cancelled the buff that allows you to see Disciples of Elune, and did not realize it. If you log out and and log back in, the buff will be reapplied and you will be able to see the Disciples and complete this quest.

Head back to the well from the previous quest, Nothing a Couple of Melons Won't Fix. The Disciples of Elune are situated around building with the well.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

All Becoming ClearerDesolace · Level 10-30
Something has changed... perhaps a side-effect of Elune's cleansing ritual. While it's by no means perfect yet, your understanding of the ancient language in the journal has vastly improved. The ruins in the northern mountains of Sargeron appear to be the main focus of Furien's enthusiasm.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Rider on the StormDesolace · Level 10-30
You cannot help but to feel a twinge of pride, having unlocked this long lost secret of the ancient worshippers of Elune. You now possess the power to inflict great damage upon your enemy.
