Cleansing the Mother Tree

Use the Dreamway to travel to Mount Hyjal, then cleanse G'Hanir in the sacred waters beneath Nordrassil.

• Enter the Dreamway
• Travel to Mount Hyjal
• G'Hanir cleansed

We must save the Mother Tree at all costs.

I believe I know a way.

The world tree Nordrassil, atop Mount Hyjal, was born from an acorn of G'Hanir. We can use the sacred waters surrounding its roots to purify the corruption.

If we take the Dreamway to Mount Hyjal's summit we should have enough time to complete the cleansing ritual before G'Hanir falls completely to the darkness.

You will receive:

• 14800 XP
• You shall be granted the title: ", Guardian of G'Hanir"

We all owe you a great deal for your heroism,. I owe you a great deal.

I suspect this war is far from over.

Upon accepting the quest:

Enter the Mount Hyjal portal to begin the scenario.

• Something terrible has happened here - speak to SKylord Omnuron to get answers.
• Find out what happened from Skylord Omnuron.

The Well of Eternity is nearly drained, wounded druids are thrown around, bodies of Rampant Felstalkers, Felguard Invaders, and Infernal Invaders are present, Wisps are flying overhead, and an inactive Legion portal stands near the Nordrassil Inn.

Omnuron stands up and enters the portal in his Travel Form.

• say
• Lyessa approaches the remains of the lake and starts casting.

Zen'tabra is floating in a bubble of fel energy. Dispel it.

• Lyessa walks into the remains of the Well and floats up, casting Ritual of Cleansing.
• say
• say

• Protect Lyessa while she completes the ritual.
• Protect Lyessa and her allies.
• Lyessa Must Survive

Obviously it's not going to be that easy.

• say

A short cutscene plays. The Legion portal suddenly activates, and the pit lord Destromath walks out.

• yell
• say
• say
• The druids shapeshift and attack the pit lord.
• say

The NPCs join your party! This encounter works similarly to a dungeon group, with you as the healer. Hamuul is a Guardian druid (tank) and Celestine and Zen'tabra are damage dealers (Balance and Feral respectively). Lyessa is busy with the cleansing ritual and does not participate in the fight. Only Lyessa is mandatory to keep alive, but you will obviously want to heal the other three as well.

The fight with Destromath is straightforward: let Hamuul tank and avoid AoE danger zones. Occasionally Destromath will summon packs of felhounds; let Hamuul taunt them off you.
