When you land, it will automatically set your hearth to the Howling Oak, to prevent you returning to the phased Gilneas. The upside of this is that you can just hearth on landing at Rut'theran Village, and it will take you right to the quest turn-in.

  • Tyrande Whisperwind says: Good evening.


  • Gwen Armstead says: Priestess Tyrande! We did not expect you. Good evening.


  • Tyrande Whisperwind says: I hope my people have been welcoming to you. These are burdened times, so I fear much may be competing with their good graces.


  • Genn Greymane says: Not at all, priestess. We are very grateful for all that you've offered us here.


  • Tyrande Whisperwind says: When we spoke previously, you offered to repay the favor. I may have to act on that sooner than I would have liked.


  • Tyrande Whisperwind says: There is trouble at Lor'danel, a village of ours across the waters from Rut'theran.


  • Tyrande Whisperwind says: If any of your people can be spared, I fear war encroaching upon us in Kalimdor.


  • Genn Greymane says: I know the perfect people for such a task. I will send them immediately, priestess.


  • Malfurion Stormrage says: Thank you, Genn. I am glad to see such poise and composure from your people. Perhaps your curse does not define you afterall.


  • Tyrande Whisperwind says: We will take our leave. Again, welcome to all of you.

Is this the last quest you do for Gilneas? I finished this and was kinda left empty, nothing else lined up in my quest log. I had to go scouting around to find the next thing to do, and it didn't seem to flow really.

Description

So this is it... our new home. I'm not sure if I'll ever feel like I truly have a home again. We mustn't be unappreciative of what the night elves have offered us though. Their race is not one to throw out idle welcomes to just anyone. It is a true testament to faith and generosity that they've taken us in. Gwen and Greymane are in the city proper, at the Howling Oak. You should stop by. Take the portal beneath the tree north of us, then seek out the Howling Oak in the northern portion of the city.
