Raene's Cleansing

<name>, a longtime friend of mine is also aiding the Sentinels here in Ashenvale, but he has yet to return. He had leads on finding an item that he thought could slow the furbolg attacks on our people--a rod created by a now-dead, evil wizard. Before he left here, he mentioned seeking out a gem for the rod. He mentioned the gem possibly being hidden at the shrine in Lake Falathim at the base of the mountain to the west. The gem was being held there before it was overrun. Find my friend, <name>, please.

Teronis' body lies broken atop the island. For some unknown reason, the murlocs have left it alone. The deep slashes across his corpse obviously came from the weapons and claws of the murlocs.

As you rummage through Teronis' belongings, you find a journal that is still in good condition. You take the journal and leave Teronis' corpse as is. The only thing left to do is find the gem Teronis was seeking. Raene mentioned it being in the area. Perhaps the murlocs have it...

This is terrible, <name>. Teronis is dead?! The time for mourning will come, but for now we must focus our efforts. I shall send some of the Sentinels to recover Teronis' body as soon as possible. You have Teronis' journal and the gem he was seeking. Do you think you're capable of completing his task? I would rest much better knowing his death was not in vain.

You'll have to do the research yourself, but from what notes Teronis has made, it sounds like your next course of action is to find the other pieces of the rod Dartol created. I would start by heading to the moonwell east of Iris Lake. When you're ready, follow the road and turn north when you reach a small sitting area on your left. A dryad there named Shael'dryn is better suited to guide you. Seek her out. Keep the gem with you--Shael'dryn will need it if she's to help you recreate the rod.

Oh, Raene sent you? It must be serious indeed. What can I help you with?

I wish your tidings were better. Raene is correct, I know about Dartol's creation and the treants in the area--at least I did once. They've become corrupted now, their nature twisted. If your goal is to find the next piece of the rod, then you'll have to find the key to open the chest it's in. The wooden key is on one of the treants northeast of here, near Felwood. Once you have it, look for a small glade west of the road near the Felwood border... the chest should be hidden around there.

I'm pleased to see you're back, <name>.

The final piece of the rod was given to the druids of Dor'danil for safekeeping. I have no idea where they hid it. I'm sorry I can't help you more than that. All I can tell you is to follow the road that leads towards the Barrens. The druids took shelter to the east of that road, but they won't be of much help to you: they were killed recently... it's something I don't like to think about much. When you find the final piece, bring it to me and I will help you reconstruct the rod.

You found the final piece? Wonderful for you... and for Raene. I guess we'll have to see about repairing it, won't we?

Here is the completed rod, <name>. Reconstructing it was simple... it's finding the shrine that has the power to recharge it that will be the hard part. With some focus and effort it shouldn't be too hard for someone like you, who's already accomplished so much. Head southeast of here--there are very few paths, so be careful--and keep your eyes to the north. The shrine is hidden within the mountains that surround this glade. Once there, place the rod within the shrine... the rest is magic. Hehe.

After the glow dies, you can see the re-enchanted rod within the shrine's basin.

The rod, now complete, lies in your hands. Shael'dryn will want to hear of your success.

You've done it, <name>! Well done!

I suggest you find Raene and let her know the rod is finished. I'm sure she'll know what your next course should be. Good luck, <name>.

You've recreated the rod Teronis had set out to find? That's wonderful to hear. Teronis would be proud to see his quest is continuing even after his tragic passing.

Alas, I'm not completely certain what he had in mind next. If what he said was true about the rod's power, then it will allow you to take on another form altogether. Which form, I do not know. Perhaps he meant to use its powers to get closer to the tainted furbolgs, but even the uncorrupted creatures would slaughter him were he not careful. Transformed by the rod, Dartol would have to speak to a furbolg who was safe from the effects of Fel Moss. I would start your search southeast of Mystral Lake.

Yes, yes... you are one of my kind, but still whole. Still clean. I am unsure how you have escaped the atrocities the night elves have visited upon our people, but I am glad to know that I am no longer alone. Corruption now runs through the veins of our kin, young one, corruption brought down upon us by the prideful night elves. They are the ones who did this to our people... They are the ones I blame for being cast out of my tribe. At night I can still see the campfires burning in the darkness.

The night elves are as old as time, but their arrogance destroys their very world. And now it destroys our lives too. But that can no longer be controlled... I blame the elves for much, but we are still responsible for our actions. Even beyond the corruption, we are capable of great evil. Ran Bloodtooth is one such evil. Power hungry, lusting... the corruption has only made him stronger. My hatred for the elves burns, but I do not wish ill upon their children, so we must police our own.

You have done well, my friend. The forest is still tainted, but at least we know we have done a small part to return it to its former glory. If you wish to return to me again, I would enjoy the company of my own kind. Be well. Perhaps our tribes will meet again under less violent times.

Return to your own tribe and let them know of your victory here. Show them your trophy, and bask in the glory...

So, this is the skull of the fiercest furbolg threat in Ashenvale? I am more than pleased with your abilities, <name>. The Sentinels cannot thank you enough. I hope we can rely on you again in the future to help our people. I shall put this skull and Dartol's Rod in a place of reverence for others to see. Teronis would be proud. Thank you again.
