Read the Roots

Read the Roots is a quest for level 10-57 in Ardenweald. It is step 2 of 7 in The Fallen Tree storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Ardenweald at 68.5, 57.4. It rewards 7,750 experience and money.

Description

When my grove withered, I answered the Queen's call and joined the Wild Hunt.

Nothing can be done for Tirna Noch. But it wounds me to see it crawling with foes of the forest.

We need a great deal of anima. The masked fae must be keeping a stockpile somewhere within the grove--we just need to find it.

They likely used soulwebs to collect and move the anima. If I examine them, I should be able to pick up the trail.

As part of the "Mementos" quest, if you kill a Drust Dreadweaver and they drop a Stolen Memento, you get the following voiceline trigger from Ara'lon: "This one is different from the rest. Our true enemy... the Drust." It's sadly a very hidden and somewhat anticlimactic reveal, but it does exist!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Echoes of Tirna NochArdenweald · Level 10-57

    It is clear that we need more anima than this grove can provide. I may know of a way we can acquire some. Many of the masked fae have been collecting anima for some unknown purpose. I propose we take it back from them. The Wild Hunt has tracked them to Tirna Noch... my former grove.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Take What You CanArdenweald · Level 10-57

    We know that these invaders have taken over the remains of the grove. But why? Why are they gathering anima and bringing it all to one place? And how did they enter Ardenweald? We should stay alert and take as much anima as we can find. Perhaps some good can come out of all this loss.
