TheWoWDBAs you kill the Stompers, your treant will grow... and there's nothing stopping you from killing a couple hundred in order to take up a good portion of your view. Unfortunately, it phases out when you leave this area of Felwood, so you can't really impress your friends with the size of your wood.

Description
There's so many other spirits still trapped in rotting bodies here... Do you see? The irontree stompers, in the north. They're sick with demon-stuff and icky with mold. Poor spirits inside them can't get out. You can help! Chop them down, and the spirits can get out. I'll put the spirits in me and we can all be happy together when I grow up. Will you help? Please?

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Seeking Soil
<The tiny sproutling shuffles around, motioning you towards the south. You can barely hear a faint voice.> Soil... <It looks like it wants fresh soil. Maybe you should guide it to some of the richer-looking patches.>
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Singin' in the Sun
We're growing so much bigger... It's time to shine! Time to spread our leaves to the sun! Take me to the sun! The sun is far away, but its light comes to us. Its light makes us big and strong again. The light comes down the big branches to the little ones like ours. Over there!
