This quest opens the possibility for Demon Hunters becoming available as a class. There will most likely be a Burning Legion expansion, and cases like this one could become more frequent then, and the Demon Hunters would be required to see through the disguises.

While at that, it doesn't mean Demon Hunters will ever become a playable class, it just opens the possibility for it, should Blizzard want to grab it.

Umm, as a warning to others doing this quest... do NOT stand by the door when he turns aggro, he'll knock you right through it (and in my case, out of the tree entirely.) Had to run all the way back up and wait for him to respawn (he despawns if you don't kill him right away.) Arrgh.

Description

I have been preying on these demonic impostors for some time now, and I have finally gleaned the location of their leader. It is none other than Arch Druid Navarax, the leader of the Emerald Circle. The demon shields himself with innocents. If I entered Whisperwind Grove to hunt him, I would be set upon by ignorant protectors... but you! You can catch him unaware. Return to Whisperwind Grove. Climb the druid tower and you'll find Navarax at the top, in his room amidst the boughs.

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.

  • Deceivers In Our MidstFelwood · Level 15-30

    Now that you've had a lesson in keeping an open mind, perhaps you'd like to learn WHY I killed those druids. The answer is simple: They are not druids at all. Demons still roam the ruins, now hiding in plain sight in the guise of friendly caretakers.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Collecting CorruptionFelwood · Level 15-30

    Though we druids shun the demonic powers infesting this land, it must still be confronted. Shatter Scar Vale to the south seethes with corruption. The energies there are so chaotic that they manifest as violent entities, pure fel magic given form to lash out at all life.
