The highland fleshstalkers to the south are even fiercer than the others of their kind. They possess not just strength, but true cunning. When I was trapped by lethargy, even the amulets of strength failed to move me. But Tor'gan used the hearts of the fleshstalkers to imbue me with spirits that conquered my doubt, freeing me. Our soldiers deserve the guile of the raptor. Collect the fleshstalker hearts for me, {name}.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Raising Spirits
Our race's gift of shamanism stirred me from a years-long lethargy. Now I provide for all here, crafting the same boons that gave me newfound strength. The Highland raptors are cunning and fierce beasts. Their spirits can grant our warriors great strength.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Princess Trapped
My name is Myzrael. I am a princess of the earth, and my captors, the giants, have trapped me deep beneath the Arathi Highlands. These crystal shards are the only way I can speak with the surface world. Please help me.
