Description

The furbolg have descended from the heights and overrun the Ruins of Ordil'Aran to the north. I believe they did so because they were attracted to what the dead cultists there uncovered: three moonstones.

Liladris Moonriver will counsel you to deal with the furbolg in a more direct manner, and I will not gainsay her, but I would ask that you go to the ruins and deactivate the moonstones.

Thank you, <name>.

With the moonstones of Ordil'Aran deactivated, we should not need to worry about any further incursions of furbolg here.

However, my scouts have returned with disturbing news from the furbolg village. There is an imminent danger massing there.

I wonder, might I entice you to carry a warning to Astranaar for me?

Is there ever a follow up to carry a warning to Astranaar? Haven't seen one yet...

The Moonstones will have an aura around them if they are able to be deactivated. There is a short cooldown between deactivations (it seems to be a few minutes at most). If you can't click on them, kill some mobs or wait until the glow shows up.
