Quest Log

The Cleansing (Alliance)

The Cleansing is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in Howling Fjord. It is step 154 of 162 in the Howling Fjord storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Howling Fjord at 30.1, 28.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Of late I've had nightmares concerning a worg named Ulfang. He has called out for help, and you must go to him.

However, you do not have the means to speak with him, or walk amongst the other worgs. I know a way.

But first, you must cleanse your inner turmoil through meditation.

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

Meditate there to cleanse yourself and then return to me.

The coordinates to the path is 53, 8 as mentioned above. Don't go shooting up north to Grizzly Hills, or you've gone too far. The path forks off the main road and goes up the mountain to the east.

61,2 is the coordinates of the actual shrine, although that's not too helpful (:

Only one person needs cleanse the guy. We can all share inner turmoils!

Edit: Doh. Looks like if you aren't the one that performs the quest, you won't get the Meditation buff, just credit for completion. Don't jump off ><
