The Barrens Oases
Level: 10 (Requires 10)
Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem
Tonga Runetotem ^{[45, 59]}

XP: 10-91

Objectives

Speak with Tonga Runetotem at the Crossroads.

Description

The druids of Thunder Bluff sense a strange power leaking into the Barrens, east of Mulgore.

Tonga Runetotem was sent to discover the source of this power, but we fear he will need aid.

Travel to the Barrens and speak with Tonga. He will be at the Crossroads. To reach there, take the road east out of Bloodhoof village. Enter the Barrens, then turn north when the road forks. Continue north and you will find the Crossroads.

And do not leave the road, <name>, for the Barrens is a harsh land.

Completion

My brethren in Thunder Bluff were wise to send you, young <class>. For the mystery of the Barrens is one that I alone cannot unravel.

With your aid, let us hope we can find answers to our questions.

Reward

• 10-91 XP
