The Owlbeasts' Defense

The Owlbeasts' Defense is a quest for level 15-30 in Winterspring. It is step 47 of 54 in the Winterspring storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Winterspring at 58.0, 63.8. It rewards 4,100 experience.

Description

What a shame. Whatever Umbranse has done, he has prevented me from undoing his magic.

He is wiser than I had anticipated.

I do have a backup plan, however. I have seen owlbeasts enter and leave Mazthoril, even after Umbranse took control. Their ancient druidic magic must be capable of disabling Umbranse's. Luckily, I happen to be somewhat of an expert in their methods.

Travel south, to Dun Mandarr. You will find a chest with a dreamcatcher in it.

That will be your first step.

On your way down to get the dreamcatcher, you will see an orc lying just off to the left of the road. He is surrounded by feathers and has a quest for you to kill owlbeasts. DO NOT do this before you get the dreamcatcher. When you pick up the dreamcatcher, you get a quest completion box and the next quest is to get three essences - for which you have to kill the SAME owlbeasts.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Altered BeastsWinterspring · Level 15-30

    We, the blue dragons, have been forced out of our home, Mazthoril. An impostor by the name of Umbranse has taken advantage of us in our weakest hour, and now occupies the cave. Mazthoril is a place of extremely potent magic, and he does not know how to wield it. Even the wildlife suffers.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Magic PrehistoricWinterspring · Level 15-30

    The owlbeasts' sacred caves are located to the east. Within several of these caves, you should find totems. I want you to approach these totems and gather whatever essence you can from them. The dreamcatcher should absorb this essence for use within Mazthoril.
