Vahna, Dryad of Direwind may be found at -1280, +20. Upon completion of the previous task, Vahna mentioned the [Direwind].

You say, 'Direwind?'

You have been assigned the task 'The Direwind Plaguebearers'.

Vahna says, 'Word of your attack on the Direwind boneyard has spread throughout the wilderness. You have brought hope to this otherwise forsaken land. . . But you have also invoked the ire of the Direwind gnolls.'

They have begun their vengeful ritual, one which will gather the Direwind Currents and spread disease further into the hill. This cannot come to pass!

Seek the plague spires to the north. There, the Clan Direwind plaguebearers prepare to infuse the wind with the Direwind plague. They use burning embers from Narseekin's Blight Pyre to waft a diseased incense into the air. Stop them before it is too late!

Reward(s):
You gain experience!!

  • 4. Deliver 1 Blight Pyre Ember to Vahna 0/1 (Direwind Cliffs)

    The 3rd task is called "Allies Against the Wind."

    He gives you a "Vahna's Tear" (Lore, No Trade, Quest, Weight 0.6).

    The steps involve killing all of the Guardians at each of the four spires in Sunderock and then given the tear to the "wakened" spire.

    North one is named as "Geodagod."
    South is "Crystalback"
    East is "Erarock"
    West is "Blackridge"

    There is a hidden step after that I have not gotten to.

    Some info on Direwind Current

    When you have to kill the Direwind Current, be careful, because he death-touches.

    He will DT the first to agro, and then re-cast it after a period of time. My group of ranger, wizard, 2 SKs, and a Cleric (plus the dead sacrificial chanter-bot) got him to 41% before he DTed the second time (one of the SKs) and then we burnt him down. We've got a smattering of Demiplane Tier2 and Tier 1 gear, with the rest being Anguish/Vish level.

    He drops 3 of the Embers, so you will need to do it twice for a full group. If you are dead and in hover mode, you will not get credit for the kill.


    When completed, you will be given a third task -- there is no other reward for this quest.
