The Hills Are Alive

The Hills Are Alive is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-60 in Drustvar. It is step 5 of 7 in the Drustvar Ruins storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 61.9, 59.3. It rewards 8,150 experience and money.

Description

The Drust constructs are drawn from the land, but the heart of these constructs is a runic power core.

We have been trying to collect and destroy as many of these cores as we can. We know of a way to disrupt the magic in the core. Doing so will prevent more of these monstrosities from being created around the dark hearts and protect the land and all living in this region.

Bring me as many Runic Power Cores as you can find and the Thornspeakers will see they are put to good use.

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.

  • Total CairnageDrustvar · Level 20-60

    My mentor sensed the activation of ancient powers here. We came to stop them but were too late. We banded together with the rangers for mutual protection, but our task remains unfinished. There is a set of ancient cairns here. These help empower the Drust constructs.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • BonedDrustvar · Level 20-60

    If the living rocks weren't bad enough, it seems the undead are hauling themselves out of the ground, too! This used to be a Drust settlement, so those are probably Drust bones. They hated us and the feeling is definitely mutual right now.
