This is a non-progression task. It is a group mission (3-6 players) that begins with Celrak Blightblood (click for map image) in the Dark Reign camp of the Lavastorm Mountains.

Pre-requisites for requesting:
- Level 59
- Minimum "apprehensive" faction with Dark Reign

Hail him to get a quest selection window pop-up.

You have been assigned the task 'Tracking the Kirin'.

A meddlesome kirin is hindering our progress through Stillmoon Temple. He has exclusive knowledge regarding the history and inner secrets of the temple, but he has been very difficult to locate. Go to the temple and find him. To bring him out of hiding, however, you will need to cause a disturbance of some magnitude. Once enough of the guards have been taken care of, he'll no doubt be lurking about concealed in the shadows. The best way to catch him then, is to look for signs of his whereabouts and track him to his lair. Once you obtain the book, return it to me.

Note: This group mission scales to your group's level. The highest is 68+, outlined here.



Touch the portal to Stillmoon Temple 0/1 (The Broodlands)

The entrance will be marked on your compass (entered in the north-central part of the Broodlands, near the non-instanced entrance to Stillmoon Temple).



Kill 10 Iron warders 0/10 (Stillmoon Temple)

Kill 1 Elusive Kirin 0/1 (Stillmoon Temple)

Loot 1 Book of Knowledge from the Elusive Kirin 0/1 (Stillmoon Temple)

Kill 10x "an iron warder", and then seek out "Elusive Kirin". To do this, you'll have to run around and get emote updates before it spawns.

First, head east down the long hallway full of iron warders until you come to the doorway to the sand area in the northeastern part of the zone. When you open this door, you get the first emote (in plain text):

Unusual footprints can be seen on the ground before you. Perhaps if you keep searching, you will find more.

Copy the following map points into one of your "stillmoona.txt" map files. The update locations don't appear to vary, and the points below should be pretty accurate.

Upon the 27th update, the Elusive Kirin spawns and you see:

So you have found me. Too bad for you that I did not want to be found!

The Elusive Kirin hits for a max ~900; has ~80,000 hitpoints; AE rampages; and casts a knockback. It does not see invisibility. Kill it, and loot the Book of Knowledge from its corpse.



Deliver 1 Book of Knowledge to Celrak Blightblood 0/1 (Lavastorm Mountains)

You have done well. Take your reward and begone.

STEP 1. Touch the portal to Stillmoon Temple

STEP 2. Kill 10 Iron warders

STEP 3. Kill 1 Elusive Kirin

As you walk around the zone, you will get emote messages:

"Unusual footprints can be seen on the ground before you. Perhaps if you keep searching, you will find more.

I got my first message around loc 558, -296.
Another message at loc 589, 232.
549, -10.
501, 75
463.119
428.223
496,230
495, 159
447, 73....

After searching both rooms at the bottom of the stairs, and the rooms at the top of the stairs, and about a dozen more updates you will find Elusive Kirin on the top floor, in the room to the north of stairs. You will get the emote:

"So, you have found me. Too bad for you that I did not want to be found"

He will then attack, and you need to kill him.

STEP 4. Loot 1 Book of Knowledge from the Elusive Kirin.

STEP 5. Deliver 1 Book of Knowledge to Celrak Blightblood
