 [20-40] As the Smoke Rises |
Objectives
Slay 12 Adherent Invaders in Aruuna and the Aruuna Crystal Mine.
- Adherent Invaders slain (12)
Description
It happened so fast. A white-hot flash of light ignited the nearby woods, followed by terrible winds that swept the flames across Aruuna.
Moments later, arakkoa began descending through the smoke.
I need to get Melani to the Pilgrim's Road. From there we can head for Anchorite's Sojourn and the protection of the vindicators. With the arakkoa roaming the area freely, I fear we'll be run down, or worse, taken by the spreading wildfires.
On accept of both
- Melani says: Papa, I'm scared!
- Crystal-Shaper Barum says: I know, lightning bug. But Papa needs you to be brave right now.
- Crystal-Shaper Barum says: Do you remember what you want to be when you group up? Come now, you told me just this morning.
- Melani says: <sniff> <sniif> ... a vindicator.
- Crystal-Shaper Barum says: And what are vindicators like?
- Melani says: ...they're brave.
- Crystal-Shaper Barum says: That's right! Can you be brave for me, Vindicator Melani?
- Melani stands up straight and puffs out her chest.
- Melani says: I'll try!
- Crystal-Shaper Barum says: There's my girl. Now stay close to Papa. Let's go!
Rewards
You will receive: 13 40
Progress
Without intervention, I fear the arakkoa will burn down all of Talador!
On approach:
- Melani says: I did it, Papa! I made a wish!
Completion
Their deaths will not bring back Aruuna, but it does give me comfort to know that some among us can stand against them.
Gains
- 14,400 XP
Notes
Pick up [20-40] Pieces of Us before heading out.
The mobs for the quest are Adherent Wing-Guards, Adherent Squallbringers and Adherent Sun-Callers.
Ride southeast into Aruuna. Just across the bridge, find 
[Barum's Notes] on the ground, which starts [20-40] Barum's Notes.
Southwest of Barum's notes, between the two buildings, find the 
[Crystal-Shaper's Tools].
Head southeast towards the stairs leading to the upper level, but note a red Honed Crystal on the ground next to the central crystal structure. Halfway up the stairs is a blue Polished Crystal. Just outside the building in the upper courtyard, find Raksi, who offers [20-40] Pyrophobia. Just next to her is a green Harmoic Crystal. Before heading in to the inn, find the triangular Annals of Aruuna at the southeast end of the courtyard, and Melani's Doll in a char at the northeast end.
Head in to the inn to find Sun-Sage Kairyx:
- Sun-Sage Kairyx yells: Artifacts from the greatest age belong to us! You have no claim to them!
Finish him off:
- Sun-Sage Kairyx says: No... the prism...
Turn in to Raksi and pick up [20-40] What the Draenei Found. Head northeast to the Aruuna Crystal Mine, killing winged arakkoa along the way. After entering the main mine chamber:
- Adherent Squallbringer yells: Scour the room! Check every corner and shadow, and dno not move the artifact until we can be certain it is safe.
Don't take the rail bridge across, but look to the south to find a fallen rock that bridges across the ravine and points right at the Ancient Prism. Interact with it:
- Raksi says: So, this is what they were after... Thank you for clearing the way.
Don't worry about not being done with Burning Sky when turning in What the Draenei Found, as more arakkoa killing is coming in the next quests at Veil Shadar. Once finally at the quota, turn in west of Anchorite's Sojourn on the Pilgrim's Road.
