We must inform the rest of the green dragonflight that the barrier to the Ancient Bough is under threat. Gerithus and I have much to discuss.

<Name>, I will place my mark upon you. The other dragons who see it will know that you are my trusted messenger.

Go and rally my flight. They must know and prepare for the battle ahead.

The following spell will be cast on you:

You will also receive:

• Windborne Velocidrake
• 4,700 XP
• +100 reputation with Maruuk Centaur

Go with my blessing.

My dragonflight is ready, then? Good. We will confront our enemies with everything we have.

On accept, Merithra casts the "Blessing of Merithra" buff on the player, causing them to glow with life energy.

Alowen is guarding the northern path down from the sanctuary with a group of Emerald Scaleguards and Emerald Wardens, in front of several scorched Primalist Invader corpses.

• Guard-Captain Alowen
• The Primalists seem to have paused their attack. Do you bring news of their movements?

• say
• Alowen and her forces run down the path to the west.

Sariosa the flight master is standing just to the northeast of Merithra, next to a flock of Messenger Mallards—three adults and one duckling.

• Sariosa

• Greetings! Oh my, I see that you've come on behalf of Merithra. Is something wrong?

• say
• She walks over to the Messenger Mallards. The adults fly away while the duckling hops and runs away on foot.

In the area, Gracus offers a side quest: Some Call Me Bug Catcher.

Sidra is found in the northern part of the grove, healing the wounded Vermera. She is surrounded by several other wounded Emerald Scaleguards and Wardens, one of whom is being healed by a Sister of the Garden. On approach:

Viranikus is located atop Merithra's Watch overlooking the sanctuary. Aronus offers transports to the platform if the player doesn't want to fly there on their own. Hovering in front of Viranikus are three more dragons: Berinus, Hesthera, and Fernarus. Talk to Viranikus:

• Viranikus
• The Primalists are scattered for the time being. Peace descends on the Ancient Bough once more. Thank you,.

• say
• emote
• The three dragons fly off to the north. After a moment, Viranikus flies after them.
