Objectives Edit

Slay Muddied Water Elementals^{[68.2, 50.1]}

to collect 5 Whirlpool Cores.

•  [Whirlpool Core] (5)

Description Edit

Our friends in the Earthen Ring have been trying to open portals back to Stormwind, with no luck. But Thordun here tells me he might just have the key.

The crazed water elementals in the nearby Verrall River Delta have been sent into a frenzy. Thordun tells me we can channel their energy into a portal.

I don't understand all this elemental-claptrap, but I understand one thing: killin' elementals and takin' their whirlpool cores. Deliver them to Talaa in the courtyard!

Progress Edit

Hello, <class>. Kurdran tells me you've got a solution to getting this portal opened?

CompletionEdit

My word, <name>. These elemental energies are so powerful, so chaotic - no wonder the Twilight's Hammer has chosen to build their stronghold here!

I should be able to channel these energies into something more benign and productive though. Let's give it a try...

Rewards Edit

You will receive:

• 9
• 55200 XP
• 250 reputation with Stormwind

You will also be able to choose one of the following:

	[Water-Drill Treads]		[Whirlpool Bracers]
	[Coregrip Gauntlets]

Notes Edit

After completing this quest, the portal to Stormwind will now be open within the courtyard of the keep at Highbank.
