A Blade Fit For A Champion (Alliance Aspirant)

Retrieve the Ashwood Brand and bring it to Arcanist Taelis at the Argent Tournament Grounds.

• Ashwood Brand
• Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm (provided)

Some of the champions believe an ancient weapon born of Northrend will bring them luck in the tourney. I have agreed to help them search for these weapons.

There's an old legend from Grizzly Hills about a maiden cursed with a frog's form to protect the blade she has long guarded. She lives among the lake frogs on the shore of Ashwood Lake, just east of Ashwood Post. The only thing said to break the curse is a, freely given. Apply this balm before kissing anything,. Otherwise, you'll catch warts.

You will receive: 2x Aspirant's Seal and

Were you able to recover the blade?

So there is some truth to those old tales? It seems the did not like about the quality of the blade. Well done,. The champion who wields it will be a lucky man, indeed.

There is also a nice frog icon for that macro (at the last page as of 3.3)

• Ashwood Lake is just to the east of Ashwood Post, which is itself to the southeast of Grizzlemaw and southwest of Camp Oneqwah in south-central Grizzly Hills.
• Friendly Lake Frogs roam the lake. Apply the Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm, then blow a to one. Reapply balm as necessary to avoid getting debuffed with "Warts!"
• Since you might be doing that a lot of times, a macro might help:
• Players will eventually get lucky and find the Maiden of Ashwood Lake, who immediately spawns saying "Can it really be? Free after all these years?"
• The following gossip text then takes place:
• I thought I'd never be free from that terrible curse. You have my gratitude, stranger.
• [[File:GossipGossipIcon.png]] Glad to help, my lady. I'm told you were once the guardian of a fabled sword. Do you know where I might find it?
• Take it with my gratitude, <class>.
• After 15–30 seconds, the Maiden will despawn saying "And now, I must return to the waters of the lake."
