Gathering Light

Gathering Light is a quest for level 45 in Krokuun. It is step 1 of 13 in The Light Mother storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Krokuun at 40.4, 63.4. It rewards 775 experience and money.

Description

Alleria and I long for more time with our son, but we cannot afford to wait any longer, <name>. We must strike now.

The Army of the Light is scattered, but not defeated. Any survivors should have stayed near the crash site of the Xenedar. If there is any hope of victory, we must rally them and rescue Xe'ra.

With the pit lords dealt with, we should have a safer route to the Xenedar. Meet me in the krokul hovel as soon as you can.

Stay at the Vindicaar a bit longer, there is more dialogue than you think, that you might miss.

In case you missed it:

Turalyon: Son, there is so much more we have to say, but our allies at the Xenedar will soon be overrun.
Alleria: You must go to their aid Turalyon. I will scout behind enemy lines and provide a distraction. We will return soon, Arator.
Arator: I... understand. Light be with you both.
Vereesa: Stay safe. We will gather the others and prepare for the battle to come.

<Turalyon and Alleria leave>

Arator: It pains me to see them go, Aunt Vereesa. I could not bear to lose them now, not after waiting all these years.
Vereesa: Have patience, Arator. It may take time, but your family will be whole again. I know it.

<Some time of silence passes>

Arator: No doubt my mother will soon ask about Sylvanas. What are you going to tell her?
Vereesa: It is a conversation I know we must have, but the thought of it fills me with dread. How can I explain to Alleria what our sister has become? The truth will break her heart.
