You must have completed both "Cure the Crud" and "Stop the Spreading" tasks, plus both of Garvin Windrunner's tasks and Tabron Caulria's task lines done before you may receive this task. You must also have faction with Seradi (minimum level is somewhere between amiable and warmly).

Seradi Stormcaller is located at 4980, -910, 88.

You say, 'Hail, Seradi Stormcaller'

Seradi Stormcaller says 'Welcome, friend ______.' Seradi's voice booms. 'I have heard good things about your willingness to assist the folks of Oceangreen. Even Garvin spoke kindly of you, after his fashion. Tabron has discovered some interesting and disturbing things with your help. We now know that the waters of the lake in the nearby cavern have been heavily tainted. To the best of our understanding, this couldn't happen without some form of, well, [concentration] of the taint.'

You say, 'What concentration?'

Seradi Stormcaller says 'The water in the lake hidden in the hills is tainted, but not nearly as much as that of the cave. The water in the town is actually less tainted than the water of the lake in the cave. Even though that lake has a constant influx of fresh water, it never appears to reduce the disease. So I believe that there is some agent of disease in that cave feeding taint into the lake. We have sent a few scouts, but fewer still return. Those that do speak of diseased animals and plants and you yourself saw some diseased treelings. Right now our forces are dedicated to the defense of the village, but I cannot deny my nature. I would ask you to seek and destroy the source of the taint in that cave. Can you [do that] for me?'

You say, 'I will do that.'

You have been assigned the task 'The Deathless'.

Seradi Stormcaller says 'Ah, great! I do not doubt your ability, but I would not see you harmed. I recommend that you seek others to assist you in this task.'

Seradi seems very concerned beneath his loud voice and broad, confident smile. He has asked you to investigate the cave to the west and find the source of the disease that is so prevalent in the water of the lake there. Find the source and destroy it.

Locate and destroy the defiled ancient treant within the glade. 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

"a defiled ancient treant" is a random spawn from any of the treelings or tottering treants around the pond. It's a druid, undead, and cannot be rooted or snared.

You also take the following faction hits for killing it:

-Plaguebringer Parishioners
+Bayle's Irregulars
+Cirtan, Bayle's Herald
+Residents of the Glade


Report back to Seradi Stormcaller 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

You say, 'Hail, Seradi Stormcaller'

Your task 'The Deathless' has been updated.

Seradi is very pleased with your accomplishment. He thanks you with a hearty handshake. He is also intrigued by your tale of the bears. The fact that they remain free of disease makes him wonder if perhaps they were not blessed by Tunare herself. He believes that this cave may once have been a place sacred to the Unkempt. 'Now', he says, 'a sacred place should have a sacred name. I shall give it much thought.'

Your faction standing with Bayle's Irregulars got better.
Your faction standing with Residents of the Glade got better.
Your faction standing with Oceangreen Residents got better.
Your faction standing with Cirtan, Bayle's Herald got better.

As a little Easter Egg: At the end of the task, Seradi Stormcaller talks about naming the sacred place. If you suggest a name to him, based on the present-day Norrath's name for the area, you'll see:

You say, 'You should name it Surefall Glade!'

Seradi Stormcaller says 'What was that? Surefall Glade. . . It does have a nice ring to it. When we are done with this infestation in Oceangreen I shall visit the place myself and see if you have indeed discovered the truth of the place. Thank you for your suggestion.'

To be a little more specific: at Amiably (377), on 1/3/24, I was able to request The Deathless (after doing the various required pre-quests).
Confirmed need to do Tabron's quest line also

If my last post gets posted, see the updated image http://imgur.com/a/Mphri I finished Tabron's last quest and now I can request this quest, so I believe you also need to do Garvin's and Tabron's quest lines as his message suggests.

This is an old quest but the requirements are not correct, see image http://imgur.com/a/BbgQu I've done "stop the spreading" and "cure the crud" with ally faction. I believe there are more quest requirements, likely as the message suggests I need to complete Tabron's quests. will attempt and check back when done.

Yes it is a grind
# Nov 14 2014 at 5:30 PM Rating: Decent
This is a grind, no doubt about it. Took me 3 hours solid which from other posts seems about the mean time. As other posters have said you only need to kill the little one who roams around the pool but it's not obvious always which one of the three around the pool he is and a blackbriar turns up centre stage to spoil the pulls from time to time. So you end up just killing everything in sight just to be sure.

Annoyingly I had killed this one a couple of times during the progression as I passed through the glade - but it's no good unless you have the quest ticket.

Unfortunately this is one of the later quests so it's not as if you can easily bag the quest early and /ooc the other players to alert you to when the named pops - and then go off and do something more productive.

All I can suggest is be patient or (as I was contemplating) /ooc a reward and go off to Broodlands in the hope that someone will send you a tell when it is up.
Worse
# Aug 11 2014 at 8:47 AM Rating: Decent
I think it's worse than that. There is only 1 possible place it can spawn. If you notice, most of the mobs are stationary but there is 1 roamer that spawns on the west side of the lake by the waterfall and walks around the lake. This is the PH for the defiled ancient treant. You can probably ignore the others if you want, but I get bored waiting to kill the roamer so I just kill them all.
Finally

Finally finished this last night. Total camp time was probably about 5-6 hours. There are either 16 or 17 spawn spots for the mob type in the Glade, and the repop is ~12-15 minutes, which I was keeping clear, so that's a minimum of 320 mobs cleared before it popped. Too rare, as far as I'm concerned.

6 hours now with a toon clearing and not a single spawn. These respawn in like 5-10mins too. Over 100 pops without the mob spawning. Something seems broken here? Has anyone completed this recently? can confirm mob wasnt removed?

He Spawned for me at 10:55 a.m. eastern time. Easy kill. He spawned after I killed the tottering treants that spawn in the corner by the huts. I left the treants up for about 30 mins before I killed them and he spawned afterwards. The tottering spawn from those two desicated treelings over there.

I did both "Cure the Crud" and "Stop the Spreading" and shes not giving it to me either right now. Faction is at Indifferently. Guess you have to do both tasks AND have faction. And that sux cuz there is a defiled ancient treant right outside asking me to kill it. =o(

At the end of the quest, Seradi Stormcaller talks about thinking up a sacred name for the glade now that the waters have been purified:

... 'Now', he says, 'a sacred place should have a sacred name. I shall give it much thought.'

You can suggest a name to him, based on the present-day Norrath's name for the area:

[Thu Jun 04 03:08:36 2009] You say, 'you should name it Surefall Glade !'

[Thu Jun 04 03:08:37 2009] Seradi Stormcaller says 'What was that? Surefall Glade. . . It does have a nice ring to it. When we are done with this infestation in Oceangreen I shall visit the place myself and see if you have indeed discovered the truth of the place. Thank you for your suggestion.'

Is there a way to get this guy to spawn, or just continue killing for hours?
test the waters
# Dec 03 2008 at 8:31 AM Rating: Decent
he wouldn't give me the quest untill i finished test the waters, i had already did the poacers and stop the spreading quest a few days ago. so you might have to finish test the waters first

Yes you need Tabron (Test the Waters) or Garvin to do this task, in addition to Kerrin 1 and 2. Poaching is not a prerequisite.

I think this may be a faction thing. I'm only Amiable, and I've completed all the tasks available through Garvin and Tabron (including Test the Waters), and he still refers me to them.

EDIT: I had not, apparently, done cure the crud or stop the spreading. I misread one of the names of the pieces I had in my bag and skipped this.

Need to have done "Stop the Spreading", and for "Stop the Spreading" you need to have done "Cure the Crud".
