We must stop that tree! With these ley crystals, I can finally help.
Speak with me when you are ready. I'll open a portal into the Azure Archives and try to bring out something useful.
Stand back, it may be rather unstable.

For the people who dream about earning the A Tour of Towers achievement.
I am not mounted and the book will spawn, but almost immediately phases out. I've dropped the quest and retaken it and it happens again. Not sure what is going on.
edit: If this happens to you, reload and try again. It finally worked.
So, I kept getting disconnected trying to complete this quest. The solution is to not use your mouse to move around. Use the keyboard only. I got disconnected half a dozen times before trying the keyboard method to move around on the tome. That finally did the trick.

Now for this ley line. It looks like my fears were correct -- the decay has spread into the line itself. We'll need to purge the decay and speed along the healing process, but I can't channel enough energy with my mirror image alone. Focus yourself on this ley crystal here.

Thank you, <name>, for all your help. My family is safe because of you. Now, we can finally return to Iskaara and see old Ponoliak taken back to the sea. He was my mentor, and a fine chieftain. Please, you must join us! A celebration of the Cycle of the Sea is something all can share in.
