Rallying Nature's Allies

Rallying Nature's Allies begins the second half of the Renown 19 chapter of the Valdrakken Accord campaign.

Muster the druids and gather the empowered anchors in Shady Sanctuary.

• Speak to Aronus For a Lift to Shady Sanctuary (Optional)
• Infused Anchors collected (3)
• Speak to Koda Steelclaw
• Speak to Scout Tomul
• Speak to Hamuul Runetotem
• Meet Somnikus in Shady Sanctuary.

We cannot give into despair now. We must push forward. We must think of another way through the barrier.

First, we need our allies. Countless elementals summoned by Rymek are pouring through the portal. We will need an army that can move in the Dream like we can, or one that can be brought in easily.

Rally the druids and centaur in Shady Sanctuary. It is time to call upon their oaths to preserve the grove.

You will receive:

• 9,500 XP

Are you ready to cross to Ardenweald?

I will go with you into Ardenweald. I will tell Ysera that we need her back, and we know a way to do it.

I should be the one who makes this sacrifice. I've lived a long life. I never wanted to live longer than my son. This way, I can atone for Rymek's betrayal and bring back our Aspect.

Are you with me?

Merithra has new gossip:

• I swore that I would keep it safe. And my worst fears have come to pass.

• Rymek and his followers have cut us off from entering Ancient Bough. We cannot reach it from Azeroth or from the Dream. But in the middle of the grove, there is a portal. Perhaps that could serve as a back door.

• There is another way into the Emerald Dream: traveling through the Shadowlands. Specifically, through Ardenweald.

• If my mother can travel through the Dream and enter Ancient Bough from the other side, then the way can also be opened for us, so we can follow Rymek.

• We have to try.

Aronus, somehow not frozen despite being inside the ice block of a nearby guard, offers to fly players to the Shady Sanctuary:

• Care for a lift?

Take the ferry, or not, then chat with three druids. Koda Steelclaw, Arthur Tradewind, Lyessa Bloomwatcher, Celestine of the Harvest, Thisalee Crow, and Zen'kiki are in the vicinity of Aronus:

• To see a grove as ancient as this, so near the heart of the green dragons, it is an honor to be present.

Lyessa also has gossip before leaving:

• A great power rests somewhere just out of sight here. It is both calming and wondrous.

Just southeast, near some of the vendors, are the three infused anchors. Pick them up, then head south to find Scout Tomul not far from the flight master:

• We swore an oath to the dragons that we'd help them protect their groves, and we're ready to do just that.

• say
• Tomul runs off.

Southeast, inside the Greenscale Inn, Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem, Zen'Aliri, and Bashana Runetotem are having a conversation. Speak with Hamuul:

• Nature flourishes here. But we must always be ready to defend it.

They run out, alongside Wardruid Loti and Zen'tabra, take to their flight forms, and fly off.
