Tyrande Whisperwind: The Archdruid’s time has come to an end. All of Val’sharah will mourn his passing. Elothir spent his last energies to learn that Malfurion is being held in Shala’nir, amidst the roots of the world tree Shaladrassil. We are close, but we must hurry. I fear the forest will have much more to mourn before this is over.

Quest Objectives

Search for Malfurion within Shala’nir.

 

Tyrande Whisperwind: Talk to me when you are ready to leave.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Are you prepared to enter the epicenter of this chaos, (race)? I will not tolerate faintness of heart now.

 

(I am ready.)

 

Tyrande Whisperwind: There is no time to mourn. Elothir is beyond my reach now. Come, and do not delay. Shala’nir is just ahead. You should be ready for whatever foulness awaits us.

Umbraxis the Cruel: Bind him! Prepare him for his corruption.

Umbraxis the Cruel: Your powers are useless here, Archdruid.

 

NOTE: Kill the Succumbing Grovewalker (treant) in the Inn.

Xavius: Tyrande Whisperwind! I have longed for this encounter for many years. Your adoring husband will be joining me in the nightmare. His was a special invitation.

Xavius: And our dear Ysera! Would you believe she has had a change of heart?

valsharah-horde-quests-00107

 

Xavius: She will aid me in my conquest of Val’sharah, starting with your precious Temple of Elune. Such a dilemma, high priestess! Kneel beside your beloved as he draws his final breath? Or watch the temple of your goddess burn!
