Description

I hear the Amani trolls eat their enemies' hearts to steal their strength. They might just be on to something, <name>. With the proper treatment, the hearts of the unliving can produce potent elixirs.

Hunt down the zombies that roam the Dead Scar and bring me their hearts. I'll show you the kind of enhancement we can perform to your physical prowess against the undead.

Once a high elf town, Tranquillien became abandoned after the Scourge invaded Quel'Thalas. It has now been reclaimed by the Forsaken and the blood elves who seek to rid the Ghostlands of the Scourge.

Reputation group: The Burning Crusade.

Other quests in Ghostlands that reward Tranquillien reputation: Suncrown Village (+1,000), Goldenmist Village (+1,000), Windrunner Village (+3,000), The Fallen Courier (+1,000), Delivery to Tranquillien (+250), The Plagued Coast (+1,000).

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Down the Dead ScarGhostlands · Level 1-30

    If you've made it this far then you probably know about the Dead Scar and how to this day mindless Scourge follow the path of destruction that Arthas created on his way to Silvermoon City. Make yourself useful and thin down the Scourge's numbers in the Scar.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Spinal DustGhostlands · Level 1-30

    The dark energy that flows through the bodies of reanimated skeletons tends to accumulate primarily in their spine. I've discovered a method of instilling this energy into a potion that boosts our magical abilities against the undead.
