Description

Primalists, djaradin, and Druids of the Flame all work together against us. But I can sense that this is not the last of them. Something powerful is trying to come through this portal. Let us try to seal them out for as long as we can.

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 Face of Our EnemiesEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    Powerful foes lurk among the enemies Fyrakk summoned into the Emerald Dream. I have not seen Cassaphine since she came up out of the barrows. Find her, and assist our allies by striking down these leaders.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • AmirdrassilEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    This tree has grown peacefully in the Emerald Dream since it was planted here. We have watched over it and nurtured it. And now, just when it is about to leave the cradle of this realm and enter Azeroth, our enemies see it as a means to further their own plans. It is so much more. Come.
