What to do
Description
It is time, {name}. Take these ashes and look for the furbolg that Kodian spoke of. If he went to seek Ursoc, he will be near his den, north of Grizzlemaw. You will need his help. You won't be able to defeat Ursoc alone. Once you've defeated Ursoc, use these ashes to purify his spirit. Only then will we know whether our efforts have been in vain or not.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Vordrassil's Seeds
We cannot allow Vordrassil to grow again. If the furbolg regrew it once, they can do it again. Go to Grizzlemaw, in central Grizzly Hills, and obtain Vordrassil's seeds. I will make sure they're properly disposed of.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Attack on Silverbrook
A few hours ago, the trappers were nothing but peasants threatening to add their number to the Alliance's. Now they've become something else... an uncertainty. I do not like uncertainties. Go to the hills outside their main town in northern Grizzly Hills, Silverbrook, and help my men crush them.
