Objectives Edit

Return to Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem at the Sanctuary of Malorne in Hyjal.

Description Edit

I slumbered in the healing silt of Hyjal.
I slept until the world broke open.
When the others came, I was not ready.

I am ready now, <race>.

My children and I. Slow to anger.
But our wrath is final.

Tell those who sent you that we are prepared for war.

The others will be cast from the mountain.

Rewards Edit

You will receive: 15 60

Completion Edit

<Name>!

You were able to earn the ancient's trust?

Wonderful! We are one step closer to taking back this mountain...

Notes Edit

Head back south across the lake. This concludes the Sanctuary of Malorne chain.

On complete, the Vision of Ysera appears:

A vision of Ysera materializes before you.

Vision of Ysera says: So Tortolla has risen to fight at our side. You are wise, <name>; it is difficult to earn that ancient's trust. He will be a stalwart companion.

If players have not already done the Shrine of Aviana chain after the Shrine of Goldrinn, she offers Aviana's Legacy again.
