These series of quests start with [npc=209318] for me, being at chapter 4/7 Guardians of the Dream.

Then [npc=210646] starts:

After that short quest, [npc=210524] gives:



The reward for druids only is [item=210645].
The series don't end with [npc=211821]. Go back to [npc=209318] at the Central Encampment and he will have a new quest:

Then [npc=210587] and [npc=210585] start respectively:


While collecting Bloodied Armor Scraps, mobs will drop [item=208775]:

Seems like Ashphodel Research Notes is a requirement for [npc=210587] and [npc=210585] to start:

Read from the Blizzard quest API.

Description

<Aviana's gaze remains locked on Q'onzu for a moment, her brow furrowed.> While I don't see eye to eye with Q'onzu's fascination for change, their incessant inquiry has unveiled a more deep-seated plot than originally suspected. Putting down the wildlife won't mean much if we don't tear out the root of the cause. Locate the burning ashphodels in the glade below and tear them out.

Before this quest

Taken from the quest's prerequisites.

    You again! Well, you must be here to help, correct? Absolutely you are. Why would you not? This development is so exciting. What could these desolating druids be up to? Fortunately, a few of my friends have infiltrated the druids. I'm sure they have quite the story to tell.

  • Aviana's AssessmentEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    <Aviana's eyes narrow as she watches the Druids of the Flame far below.> Q'onzu may be content with letting these heretics destroy the very fabric of the Dream, but I am not. Bring me scraps of their armor stained with blood as proof of your deed. Do not hold back, <name>.
