The Looming Cinder

The Looming Cinder is a quest for level 10-80 in Emerald Dream. It is step 8 of 8 in the Druids of the Flame storyline, the final step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Emerald Dream at 50.8, 62.9. It rewards 1,200 experience and money. Completing it counts toward 1 achievement.

Description

The Druids of the Flame are nothing more than allies of convenience to Fyrakk and his ilk. Nevertheless, they present a dire threat to the well-being of Amirdrassil, to say nothing of the rest of the Dream.

The victory we earned here today was hard-fought, but it only served to stem the tide. No doubt the Prophet and the Priestess have already reunited with their erstwhile allies.

We should return to Merithra. She needs to know of this.

Forlorn HopeEmerald Dream · Level 10-80
You've arrived just in time. Norana lurks just beyond the ridge. She appears to be taking part in some manner of ritual - alongside a man who appears to be their leader. These are powerful druids, and their strength is amplified by their ties to the Firelands.
