The Cleansing (Horde)

The Cleansing is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Howling Fjord. It is step 137 of 162 in the Howling Fjord storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Howling Fjord at 31.2, 24.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

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.

There is a shrine that sits at the top of Frostblade Peak, northeast of Camp Winterhoof. A single path leads up to it from the western base of the mountain.

Meditate there and then return to me.
