StorylineAshenvale, Alliance, step 30 of 50
RewardsSilverwind Bracers, Wolfrunner Boots, Legacy of Teronis, 31g 50s, 6,200 XP

Description

Now, take the rod and while using its power, speak with my brother, Ota Wen. Ota is amongst the other furbolg that the orcs have captured and have penned in the giant cage on the north side of Silverwind Refuge. The rod will allow you to convince Ota and the other furbolg to rise up and attack the Horde. Then you may go wherever your path leads you. Just know that you have found a new friend for that which you have done.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A New AdornmentAshenvale · Level 7-30

    I'm certain that the long-dead wizard, Dartol, intended to use his rod to subjugate and destroy us just as the night elves and orcs have, but I think now we'll put that thing to an unintended use. Ran Bloodtooth is the king of all of the Ashenvale furbolg.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Corrupting Influence?Ashenvale · Level 7-30

    As you search through the belongings of the dead furbolg lying before you, a small charm, very obviously created by trolls, spills out onto the ground. Touching the charm, you immediately get a sense that something is not right about the wood.
