Description

You've arrived just in time. Norana lurks just beyond the ridge. She appears to be taking part in some manner of ritual - alongside a man who appears to be their leader. These are powerful druids, and their strength is amplified by their ties to the Firelands. Taking the blade to all of them at once would be foolish. Still, the least we can do is disrupt their ritual. If we send them scattering, we buy ourselves time - and an opportunity to press the advance elsewhere.

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.

  • Grim ReprisalEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    The Druids of the Flame will not allow you to proceed unfettered once your intentions here become clear. They are my kin, my brothers and sisters under Elune... But they seek to undo all that we have toiled for. Their machinations would condemn countless lives to an all-consuming inferno.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Looming CinderEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    The Druids of the Flame are nothing more than allies of convenience to Fyrakk and his ilk. Nevertheless, they present a dire threat to the well-being of Amirdrassil, to say nothing of the rest of the Dream. The victory we earned here today was hard-fought, but it only served to stem the tide.
