Description

If you follow the road east and up the side of the mountain, then turn north, you will come to my long lost home.

Once there was a wood there. Its name is forgotten. Long ago the Burning Legion summoned scorched imps and other creatures of flame. My home was destroyed and my people fled. Now only I remain.

I have saved some ironroot seeds that could be planted in fertile volcanic soil. Their magic is strong. Do this for me and I will share with you the treasures of a forgotten age.

All three soil samples can be found around coordinates 72, 22, north of Forge Camp: Anger. Once you've found the southern sample, the two others are just north.

You'll know you're in the right place when you see the fire elementals and scorched imps, in an region called Skald.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Little EmbersBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    Northeast of here, on the plateau above us lies the burnt ashes of my ancient home. A great wood flourished there before the Burning Legion sent their imps to burn us away. So many died that even centuries later my tired old heart hungers for revenge.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Damaged MaskBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    As you examine the damaged mask, you hear strange sounds coming from within. If the mask wasn't damaged you might be able to hear the sounds more clearly. O'Mally Zapnabber in Ruuan Weald might be able to fix the mask.
