Cradle of the Ancients

The Cradle of the Ancients, also known as the Shriveled Oasis, is a dried up oasis just south of the Obelisk of the Sun in Uldum. After the quest The Coffer of Promise, the Cradle is transformed and filled with lush and verdant flora.

The area contains coyotes, vultures, foxes, and armadillos. Once the land is transformed it only has vultures.

By the time of N'Zoth's invasion following the Fourth War, the oasis was dried once again.

• Killing a vulture here begins the quest Dirty Birds.
• It is the location of the Coffer of Promise after the quest Three if by Air.
