Description

It is clear that a struggle took place here. I fear that Kivarr may have been taken by the Drust. I scouted the surrounding area before you arrived. Eventide Grove has been overrun. The Drust cannot have taken her far. We may yet be able to find her. I just pray that we are not too late...

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.

  • Kivarr's DenLevel 60

    Kivarr... I have not heard that name in many an age. She used to make her home near Eventide Grove to the south. Ara'lon knows the area well. I suggest you take him with you. I fear that the situation with Gweyir weighs heavily upon him. Perhaps joining you on the hunt will do him some good.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Thornspeaker CaptiveArdenweald · Level 60

    Good to know the old bear hasn't forgotten me. Unfortunately, neither have the Drust. I was enjoying a peaceful afterlife before they showed up. Do not bother trying to force open this cage. You can only unlock it with three separate keys, and each one is held by a different Drust commander.

The storyline at a glance

Drust to Drust has 17 steps, from The Fate of Ara'lon to Unbroken Bonds.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Ardenweald (15), Drustvar (2).
