To Cure the Withered
Find a forgotten passage to Grim Batol in the hills of Grim Reaches.
Description
You must have seen them — the Withered — when you walked the paths of Alah'thalas. Wretched beings... their thirst for the arcane has consumed their minds, leaving only husks behind.
A tragedy, truly. And what wounds the spirit most is knowing their numbers grow with each passing dawn. The Withering, once begun, cannot be undone — only delayed. But even that demands a torrent of mana, a price many deem too high for those already lost to the hunger...
Yet, Lord Theron holds hope. He believes that these very lands may hold the key to a cure. A slender hope, but hope nonetheless.
Still, all in due course. For now, I have a task for you. Word travels of an ancient, destroyed passage to Grim Batol, somewhere westward, buried among the hills. Should the tales speak true and you uncover this forgotten way... return to me with haste.
Progress
Be wary. These lands are teeming with Dragonmaw orcs.
Completion
So... the tales whispered by the dwarves of Dun Kithas held truth after all. Curious. One must wonder just how many hidden, long-forgotten passages into Grim Batol yet remain buried beneath stone and time... and what vile things may have once crept forth from their shadows.
