Description

We are here to monitor the scars of the land, and watch for further signs of instability. While we haven't seen any yet, a cataclysmic aftershock could devastate the Barrens even further. To the northeast, near the chasm, earth elementals rampage out of control. To soothe the earth, these need to occasionally be destroyed, and their essence returned in a ritual. If you help us do this, {class}, I would be happy to reward you.

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.

  • MangletoothSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    I no longer care for honor or glory, <class>. All that matters to me is that the quilboar die, by any means, at anyone's hand. Mangletooth, the chief of these filthy Razormane, sits in his lair to the northwest, atop a hill. End his life.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Blood of the BarrensSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    This bright red stone, found clutched in the grasp of a quilboar, has been carefully carved into the likeness of a great boar, with thorny vines sprouting from its back. Its surface is smooth and worn with care. Did the quilboar make this?
