TheWoWDBThis quest "Return to the Grove" has three versions - one for each of the three Val'sharah Archdruid storylines: 1) Return to the Grove which starts with the [npc=100573] who appears at the end of the The Nightmare Lord quest which will give you part 1: "Archdruid of the Vale" That's Val'sharah Folks! achievement. 2) Return to the Grove which starts with the [npc=91223] who appears at the end of the Out of the Dream quest which will give you part 2: "Archdruid of the Claw" That's Val'sharah Folks! achievement; 3) Return to the Grove which starts with the [npc=91066] who appears at the end of the Death to the Witchmother quest which will give you part 3: "Archdruid of the Lore" That's Val'sharah Folks! achievement. You can only do one of the three versions of this quest per character, so it doesn't really matter which order one does the three Archdruid questlines that start with [npc=94179] in Lorlathil.

What to do
Description
Forgive me, {race}. Archdruid Moonclaw's fall is a terrible blow... Malfurion must be informed of what has transpired here. Inform him of Thaon's fate and of the return of Xavius. Make haste, friend. I fear this may be the greatest threat Val'sharah has ever faced.
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
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Emerald Queen
<name>, you have returned. Good. I have counseled with the other archdruids and concluded that Cenarius' condition is merely a symptom of a much greater problem. Your experiences in Moonclaw Vale make that clear. We need help. There is one who can bring understanding to these events.
