This quest drove me crazy. I went to the coords other people listed and that led outside the tree - which is incorrect.

You need to be inside Heart of the Forest, then go to 44.83, 48.81 and go down the ramp. The actual quest giver is in the small room to the left.

Description

You have fulfilled your calling, Maw Walker, and brought calm to our forest. Stay vigilant, for others will similarly call upon you in time. The anima you have recovered will be of great use to the Heart of the Forest. Bring it to Zayhad. They will ensure it is safe until it is needed. You will find them deep in the roots of the Heart of the Forest.

  • A Call to ServiceLevel 60

    <Laurel picks out a sad tune on her harp.> Our groves wilt and wither, and enemies wait at our gates! The forest calls out in sorrow, "Please help us before it's too late!" <The melody becomes a call to arms.> O huntsman, now answer our calling! Ardenweald is in need of your might!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Into the ReservoirLevel 60

    Groves wither, and our Queen weeps on barren soil. Anima, precious as water, now rare as snow. Our Queen gives of her own, shelters all beneath her boughs... but one tree does not a forest make. Your gift will be treasured and protected. Anima nourishes our roots, as hope nourishes our hearts.
