What to do
Description
The ancient protectors of Irontree Woods to the north have been dead for years, their bodies a grim symbol of the damage to these lands. Every season, we take the water from this moonwell, and pour it on the ground before them, hoping it will nurture new life. If you'd like, you can deliver the water yourself. It is an excellent opportunity for reflection. Take this vial and fill it at the moonwell, and pour it on the very top of the small hill between the three ancients.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Weeding the Lawn
In a place like this, even something as simple as growing flowers and pulling weeds can require some heroic effort. The orchid lashers that grow on all sides of the grove are a sign of healing. But they're not flawless; some of them do succumb to demonic corruption now and then.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Buzzers for Baby
<The tiny seedling opens its leaves wide, like a baby bird waiting to be fed. It speaks in a very faint voice:> Hungry... want... bugs...<You can hear the buzzing of wasps to the south. Could they be what the little thing wants to feed on?>
