Careful, the questgiver and the nymphs around her become hostile if you've recently done Friend or Fowl. This achievement makes neutral creatures hostile to you, including the nymphs!

Apparently this is because it applies an invisible buff, which can be removed through zoning. Keep that in mind before you end up having to HS...

Description

The ice elementals surrounding our glade were once our companions, but a volatile and destructive force has swept through the land, turning them against us! This is but one of the horrors my sisters and I have endured. We have revealed ourselves to you in the hope that you will help us stave off the decay that has crept into our glades and poisoned our sisters! We've been gathering the cores of the ice elementals and keeping them safe so that one day, we might be able to restore them. Will you help?

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.

  • The CleansingHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    We braved the Rivenwood because of my troubled dreams concerning my worg life-friend, Ulfang. He has called out for help, and you must go to him. But, you do not have the means to speak with him, or walk amongst the other worgs. I know a way. First, you must cleanse your inner turmoil.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fallen SistersHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    To the southwest was a glade that used to look much like this one. Mysterious forces and alien magics are reshaping the land. The glade has thawed, the sisters living there driven mad by the sudden change. We thought to reach out to them, but they attacked us.
