The next day, near the outskirts of the sacred Moonglade…
CUTSCENE
Tyrande Whisperwind: With Cenarius dead, it falls to us to awaken the druids. We must recover the demigods horn from the sacred Moonglade Isle. Only its clarion call can awaken the druids from their slumber.
Archer: But, Priestess, the orcs have established a crude settlement upon the isle. We’ll need to fight our way through them to reach Cenarius’ horn!
Huntress: Priestess Tyrande, thank Elune we found you. The undead are advancing upon the nearby Barrow Dens! The Dens seem abandoned, but —
Tyrande Whisperwind: There is one druid sleeping within them, sister. He is the wisest and most powerful of all the druids. He must be warned that the Legion has returned!
Huntress: Then we’d better hurry. If the undead overtake his Den before he’s awakened…
Tyrande Whisperwind: Let us make haste, my sisters!
