Objectives

Fight the waves of  Charred Invaders on Nordune Ridge until the portal is opened.

• Open the portal to the Firelands

Description

We appear to have everything under control. Our invasion portal to the Firelands will be opened momentarily, and the elementals have not put up much fight.

Assist our druids by dispatching the last few of these elementals. Then, once the gate has been opened, we can make our move.

Completion

Leyara... she lives. I sense Fandral's hand at play here...

Rewards

You will receive:

• 16 54
• 69,400 XP
• 250 reputation with Guardians of Hyjal

Notes

• A bar will appear at the bottom of your screen that has to be filled. With each kill, the bar fills. The druids do most of the fighting, and it isn't uncommon to come into the quest with the bar already filled to some extent.
• At the end of the quest Leyara spawns. She ultimately escapes by using her firehawk form.
