Quests

Alliance quests

39 (42) Shadowshard Fragments - This quest is obtained from Archmage Tervosh in Dustwallow Marsh.

41? (47) Twisted Evils - This quest is obtained from Willow in north central Desolace in a goblin hut (/tloc 62, 40). The required Theradric Crystal Carvings frequently drop off of creatures in the instance and less frequently outside the instance. The rewards are one of Acumen Robes, 20 Int Cloth, Sprightring Helm, 15 Agi 10 Sta Leather, Relentless Chain, 10 sta 10 Int +20 Atk Power Mail chest, Hulkstone Pauldrons, 13 Sta 5 Str plate shoulders.

? (47) Vyletongue Corruption - obtained in Nijel's Point, rewards ar Woodseed Hoop, Sagebrush Girdle, or Branchclaw Gauntlets. Healing the plants will spawn scions of Vyletongue, so be ready to fight when you activate them.

39 (48) The Pariah's Instructions - this quest is obtained from the Centaur Pariah at the south end of Desolace. It appears to be exclusive of the Seed of Life quest which you can get inside the Maraudon instance, i.e. you cannot do this quest if you are doing the other and vice versa. It requires you to dispatch the Khans that appear inside the instance, and gives as reward this nice trinket, Mark of the Chosen which has a 2% chance to buff all your stats by 25 for one minute when you are struck in combat.

The orange and purple sides each have two khans: one in the pre-instance part and another inside the actual instance on that side. One more khan stands outside the portal room for the shortcut to the second (Princess) part of maraudon.

44? (49) Legends of Maraudon - This quest is obtained from Cavindra in the orange part of the pre-instance just before the orange crystal pool. The goal of this quest is to slay two mini bosses, Noxxion in the orange instance and Lord Vyletongue in the purple instance. This quest probably leads to The Scepter of Celebras quest.

44? (49?) The Scepter of Celebras -

46? (51) Corruption of Earth and Seed - This quest is obtained from Keeper Marandis in Nijel's Point in Desolace. This is a quest to slay the main boss in Maraudon.
