Description

My hunting party was ambushed not far from here. I narrowly escaped capture, but the others were taken deeper into Blackthorn Grove. We must find and rescue them, but we are vastly outnumbered. We'll need to disguise ourselves while we search the grove. See if you can find something we can use to do so. I need just a little longer to recover from my wounds.

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.

  • The Fate of Ara'lonLevel 60

    <name>, I have an urgent request to make of you. Recently, the Wild Hunt has been encountering the masked fae in greater numbers... particularly in the area surrounding Blackthorn Grove. I sent a hunting party to investigate, but they have yet to return. Ara'lon was leading the hunt.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Blackthorn CaptivesLevel 60

    These disguises will allow us to explore the grove undetected, but beware of the overseers. Their Drust magic will more than likely be able to pierce through our deception. We need to save the rest of my hunting party while we still can.

The storyline at a glance

Drust to Drust has 17 steps, from The Fate of Ara'lon to Unbroken Bonds.
