What to do
Description
Nothing is the same since I returned. There is always whispering - everywhere, whispering. Maraad cannot see it, but there are even traces of fel energy here in Elodor. We have been infiltrated! I must attend to the Exarch Council, but I need you to investigate. Follow the traces of fel energy that I will illuminate. If there are truly traitors in our midst, they will have to have some sort of hideout. Find it! I will wait for you with the other Exarchs.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shut 'er Down
Burrowing native creatures known as "goren" have tunneled into our crystal mines. Judging from our experience at the gates, I suspect my own experimental resonance crystal is whipping the native wildlife into a frenzy.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Supply Drop
Your laborers below have finished with the harvest and are ready to cart supplies back to your garrison. Don't worry about the safety of your caravan this time; I will dispatch a rangari detail to shadow them from the woods and protect them. The Exarchs will always watch over you.
