Vordrassil's Sapling

Vordrassil's Sapling is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Grizzly Hills. It is step 60 of 115 in the Grizzly Hills storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Grizzly Hills at 31.2, 59.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

The druids of old seem to have had good reasons for destroying Vordrassil. We cannot let the furbolgs regrow it.

On the other hand, saving Ursoc's spirit hinges on the magic contained by the sapling.

Take this torch and use it to burn the tree. You will find it in the middle of Grizzlemaw, inside Vordrassil's old trunk.

Bring me Vordrassil's ashes. It is my hope that once purified by fire, we may use its magic to cleanse Ursoc's spirit of its dark taint.

I didn't notice this for an age, so it might be helpful to others: when you kill a furbolg of one faction, you gain a 5min buff that makes you neutral to the other faction. What I did was watch for a while to see who was winning the battle at Grizzlemaw, then kill a furbolg of the other faction. This made this quest and the other, Vordrassil's Seeds, go much more smoothly for me.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Children of UrsocGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The furbolgs of Grizzly Hills carry with them a corruption of some kind, that is for sure. Tribal war has broken out amongst them after years of peaceful coexistence. What remains to be seen is whether the bears they worship as gods have also been tainted.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Vordrassil's SeedsGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    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.

The storyline at a glance

Grizzly Hills has 115 steps, from Local Support to Loken's Orders.
