Delve into the Earth serves as an introduction to Delves, the tentpole solo and small-group feature of The War Within.

Objectives

Complete the Earthcrawl Mines delve near Freywold Village.

Description

The nerubian attack, your meteoric fall...

And now Baelgrim is here?

It's a lot to process. But we must focus on the task at hand:

Some of my people were taken by the nerubians during the attack. We believe they are now in a nearby cave.

Baelgrim needs more hands for his Coreway, right? We can't fix it if there aren't enough of us left.

And I would be in your debt.

You're not the first outlander I sent after them. A small fellow wandered through here and hasn't come back.

Rewards

You will receive one of:

You will unlock access to the following:

Inv misc map02.png Delve Companion — Brann Bronzebeard permanently joins your party while in Delves.

You will also receive:

  • 28g 9s
  • 10,400 XP

Progress

The mines were always dangerous even when the Stonebound worked them. Be careful.

Completion

I owe you a great debt. Thank you for saving my people from the nerubians.

Notes

On accept:

Baelgrim says: This is a waste of cycles. I will go to the quarry myself.
Baelgrim walks off.
Adelgonn says: Then you'll be the first stormrider it's seen for centuries.
Moira Thaurissan says: Let him go. We'll rescue your people, Adelgonn.
Moira walks over to some Injured Earthen and starts healing them.

Moira has gossip:

Might as well roll up me robes an' help while I'm here.

Cannae hurt, can it?

Gossip <Stay awhile and listen.>

Moira Thaurissan says: It must have been... hard for ye to walk away.
Adelgonn says: Yes. I was the Stoneward. With the Stonebound, I built all of Dornogal. But I could not remain there.
Adelgonn says: The Stonebound continued to mine and build and maintain--that was our Edict.
Adelgonn says: But after thousands of years... the titans were silent. And yet we still built. My people wanted something more.
Adelgonn says: Many began to drop their tools and leave for the wolds. I argued for them. That we all should be able to choose.
Adelgonn says: But Baelgrim was furious, and Merrix would not defy the titans either. And so I joined my people here.
Moira Thaurissan says: Leavin' all you know for what ye think is right. That takes some courage.
Adelgonn says: Or faulty programming. We are free, but we did choose to live unprotected. And now my people suffer again.
Moira Thaurissan says: Well, I may be an "outlander" but I think ye are in the right. And these "Oathsworn" should be protectin' ye.
Moira Thaurissan says: Havin' a different opinion doesn't make ye any less earthen.
Adelgonn says: That is not Baelgrim's assessment.
Moira Thaurissan says: Well, let's hope he'll come around. For now, we can only help ourselves and get ye people healed.

Before leaving, pick up the flight path, and Hreka, north of town, starts N [70-73] Prairie Fever.

Head west-southwest to Earthcrawl Mines and spot Brann Bronzebeard blasting a nerubian into next week with Ol' Faithful:

Brann Bronzebeard says: Take that, ye crawlin' creeps! Won't get the best of me.

Speak with him:

ARGH--ah, <name>! I cannae express how relieved I am tae see ye again.

I went explorin' an' found Freywold village. They'd been attacked by nerubians just before I arrived.

I think the attack happened around the same time as the Coreway and Dalaran attacks. Tha smacks o' a coordinated effort.

<Brann sighs.>

These earthen need our help, but I cannae do it alone.

An' who knows? We might find other things of interest.

So, how about it?

Gossip (Quest) Let's go save the earthen in the delve.

Brann Bronzebeard says: Let's stock up on supplies before we head in.

Interact with the crates of Explorer's League Supplies next to him:

<You rummage through the supplies and find a selection of useful items.>

Gossip (Quest) View Brann Bronzebeard's supplies.>

Brann Bronzebeard says: All right, let's do this! Through here!

This opens the Delve companion interface. Select a role for Brann, either healer or damage dealer, then run through the instance line to enter the delve. Delves can be completed solo or in role-agnostic groups of up to five players, though parties must be manually formed and cannot be queued for. While leveling, players can choose Tier 1 (minimum challenge) or Tier 2 (moderate challange). At max level, after completing The War Within campaign and an item level of at least 538, they can choose Tier 3 or higher.

For a walkthrough, see the Earthcrawl Mines article.

After clearing the boss and looting the treasure, exit the delve and speak with Brann once more:

Whew, what an adventure--an we saved those earthen too!

Gossip (Quest) What will you do now?

Brann Bronzebeard says: There's more tae explore out there! And ye know me. Can't resist a good cave.
Brann runs off.

On return:

Baelgrim says: Keeper's beard, the quarry is overrun with fungarians!
Adelgonn says: And whose fault is that? Your Edict is to protect the isle. Not just the city and not just the Oathsworn.

Alpha version

Moira's stay awhile and listen script started with two additional lines:

Moira Thaurissan says: Let me just roll up me sleeves and hike up me robe an' we can get started.
Adelgonn says: I am grateful--and surprised--by your assistance. It is ironic that an outlander would be the one to finally help us.
