Description

Of all the foolhardy, misguided, exasperating... <Guardian Kota snorts and stomps a hoof.> But standing here does Sha'lor no good. We must find him and bring him back safely. Come, meet me at the Autumnal Rise. We can survey the burrows below and see if there is any sign that he lives.

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.

  • Finish What He StartedArdenweald · Level 10-56

    Finding Sha'lor is our main priority. But there is another opportunity. Take the Gormherd Branch that he dropped. I know he was tinkering with it so that it would work on wild gorm. Use it on the gorm in the burrows, and see if you can collect any of their gorm gris.
