<name>, I can't be held responsible if some enterprising [[Horde]] <class> were to attach a limpet mine to that part of the hull. Not even if I supplied the mine. And paid <him/her>. Handsomely. The ship is anchored just southeast of here... go to it!

:{{text|say|Tahu Sagewind|The elves speak of a [[Elune|moon goddess]], did you know? They put great stock in the light given by the moon.}}

:{{text|say|Aponi Brightmane|Like [[Elune|Mu'sha.]]}}
  +
:{{text|say|Tahu Sagewind|Just like her. The parallels I've heard are interesting. And it's no secret all druids, [[Shu'halo]] and elf alike, can call upon Mu'sha's light.}}
  +
:{{text|say|Aponi Brightmane|Where are you going with this?}}
  +
:{{text|say|Tahu Sagewind|I wonder. [[Hamuul Runetotem|Hamuul]] has guided us well, and I've learned so much from. The legends say that our people were druids when time began...}}
  +

:{{text|say|Tahu Sagewind|...but what Hamuul teaches is what the elves know. The night elves. They put such stock in their moon goddess, as creatures of the night.}}
  +
:{{text|say|Aponi Brightmane|Do you think his teachings are wrong?}}
  +
:{{text|say|Tahu Sagewind|No! No, nothing like that. He is an elder for good reason, sister. Mu'sha is one of the [[Earthmother|Earthmother's]] eyes, and she watches over us. That isn't sinister.}}
  +
:{{text|say|Tahu Sagewind|But we're nothing if not people who strive for balance. Our warriors fight only when there is need. Our hunters take only what the tribes require to live, and use all they can when they do. The shaman stand as guide and mediator to the elemental spirits.}}

I underestimated you, Hartley... but for the last time!

:{{text|say|Tahu Sagewind|Sorry, sister. It's nothing to worry about.}}

Go over to the ship at {{coords|72|85|Northern Barrens}}. If you swim it is quicker but you will encounter a couple of makrura along the way. Go to the back of the ship near the paddlewheel. You will see a fairly large wooden section underwater. If you run your cursor over it the tooltip will indicate it to be the thinnest part of the ship.

Aponi Brightmane defending Thunder Bluff

This is awful! I shouldn't be sitting here, useless, when there's so much to be done! If only my arm hadn't gotten injured up in Northrend... No use dwelling on it, though! Tahu will have me patched up and cured eventually, and we'll still help around here in the meanwhile.

Just because we're not at the front doesn't mean we can't help out somehow.
