Notes

Yennu

Maru hands over  [My Journal: Operation Toy Rescue]. It initially reads:

Maru said to look for Yennu in the Dragon Isles. I should look for him in Iskaara.

Maru also has a hint, as usual:

 (Hint) <Explain your primary case to Maru and ask for her advice.>

Are you still looking for Yennu?

He's probably getting somefing to eat. Look near da big soup guy in Iskaara!

Dragon Isles

Yennu is located at ^{[13.4, 48.9]} next to Skygazer Paatu, the flight master, near Big Kinook's big pot of soup in Iskaara, located in southwestern Azure Span on the Dragon Isles. The fastest way there is the portals to Valdrakken from Stormwind City or Orgrimmar. Characters who have [Path of the Rotting Woods] from getting  [Keystone Hero: Brackenhide Hollow] can use that to save some time.

Yennu

Have you seen my ball? I don't remember where I saw it last!

 Maru sent me to help. Do you remember where you were playing recently?

I had my ball when my kite got stuck in a tree waayyy up north in the Waking Shores. Then I went waayyy south to a Dragon Basecamp. Maybe I lost it there?

The journal gains additional text:

Yennu said he was playing with his kite up north in the Waking Shores and then went down to a Dragon Basecamp. Maybe I should find the camp and take a look around.

I wonder if my Idol of Ohn'ahra can help.

Maru provides additional information:

Yennu mentioned a dragon camp? Maybe he meant the Dragonscale Basecamp!

Try looking for clues around there with your idol!

 [Missing Page from Yennu's Snackbook] in the wagon

Bring out the  [Idol of Ohn'ahra] and follow it to the back of one of the wagons at ^{[47.0, 83.5]} near Rupert, the Gentleman Elemental and Earthmender Narvra at Dragonscale Basecamp in southern Waking Shores to find a  [Missing Page from Yennu's Snackbook], which reads:

The dragons said they're going to get stuff at a place further south and that I could ride along on my way back home!

I hope the ride isn't long... I'm getting hungry for soup! Maybe the hunter town we're going to has some soup?

The journal also gains further text, reading:

I found a note left by Yennu at the Basecamp. It sounds like he traveled a little further south to a town with a lot of hunters in it.

I wonder if my Idol of Ohn'ahra can help.

As does Maru:

Yennu left a note?

Oohh, sounds like Yennu was headed for a big centaur town! I bet da idol can help!

 [Yennu's Toy Ball] in a Pile of Dirt

The centaur town further south is Maruukai in the Ohn'ahran Plains, so bring out the  [Idol of Ohn'ahra] again to find  [Yennu's Toy Ball] in a Mound of Dirt at ^{[61.9, 37.5]} in a dirt pile by a river. This adds a fourth round of text to the journal, which reads:

I found Yennu's toy. I should return it to him in Iskaara.

So does Maru:

You found Yennu's ball! You should bring it back to him in Iskaara.

Return Yennu's Toy Ball to him in Iskaara, and he mentions that another friend has lost a toy, one for Alliance players and a different one for Horde players.

Boralus

Yennu (Alliance)

 I found your ball.

Whoa! You found my ball! Thanks!

I think you should go find Kenshi next. She had her toy stolen in Boralus.

The journal has advice:

Yennu said that his friend Kenshi also had a toy stolen. I should be able to find Kenshi in Boralus. It's a big area to search though... Maybe the innkeepers there could help.

As does Maru:

I fink Yennu said to find Kenshi in Boralus!

She can be hard to find, especially if she's napping somewhere, but she spends most of her time with the cwazy lady and lotssa other furry friends.

Alliance players should take the portal to Boralus from Stormwind City. Check in with Wesley Rockhold, the innkeeper of Snug Harbor Inn at ^{[74.1, 12.7]} in Boralus Harbor, as he has a pointer:

 Do you know where I can find Kenshi?

Kenshi? I don't know anyone by that name, sorry.

They could be in a different part of town.

Kenshi

Since Kenshi isn't in the trade area, head over to the Upton Borough of Boralus to find Kenshi at ^{[53.9, 72.8]} in Catty Cathy's house and interact with her:

<Kenshi appears ruffled and irritated.>

 Let me browse your... goods?
 <Pet Kenshi.>

<Kenshi is startled but accepts the gesture. You notice Kenshi is shedding fur in large clumps.>

A clump of Kenshi's fur

Kenshi sells a  [Half-Eaten Mouse] in exchange for some  [Deluxe Tuna], but petting the cat provides the clue. As does the journal:

I found Kenshi. But he seems distressed and he's shedding a lot. It looks like there are clumps of fur on the ground. I wonder what happened?

I wonder if my Idol of Ohn'ahra can help.

And Maru:

Yaay you found Kenshi!

If she's shedding a lot, maybe follow the fur on the ground!

The  [Ball of Yarn]

Follow Kenshi's clumps of Fur (and the  [Idol of Ohn'ahra]) to find the  [Ball of Yarn] at ^{[42.0, 75.1]} by a fenced tree near the hedge maze in the plaza outside Proudmoore Keep.

Pick up the yarn, which adds more to the journal:

I've got Kenshi's toy. I should bring it back to him.

And to Maru:

You found Kenshi's yarn! You should give it back to Kenshi.

Return to Kenshi:

<Kenshi looks at your hand expectantly.>

 <Give the ball of yarn to Kenshi.>

<Kenshi sniffs the ball of yarn and rejects the toy.>

Oh well. Head back to Maru at the celebration area of the Caverns of Time to turn in.

Dazar'alor

Yennu (Horde)

 I found your ball.

Whoa! You found my ball! Thanks!

I think you should go find Nuts next. He had his toy stolen in Dazar'alor.

The journal has advice:

Yennu said that his friend Nuts also had a toy stolen. I should be able to find Nuts in Dazar'alor. It's a big area to search though... Maybe the innkeepers there could help.

As does Maru:

I fink Yennu said to find Nuts in Dazar'alor!

He can be found in a room wiff a bunch of other critters.

Horde players must find the squirrel named Nuts at ^{[56.2, 31.7]} in the Hall of Beasts in Dazar'alor.

<Nuts appears ruffled and irritated.>

 <Pet Nuts.>

<Nuts is startled but accepts the gesture. You notice Nuts is shedding fur in large clumps.>

The journal gets an update:

I found Nuts! But he seems distressed and he's shedding a lot. It looks like there are clumps of fur on the ground. I wonder what happened?

I wonder if my Idol of Ohn'ahra can help.

So does Maru:

Yaay, you found Nuts! If he's shedding a lot, maybe follow da fur on the ground!

Follow Fur to find the  [Plush Toy] at ^{[56.5, 21.3]} halfway up the tree overlooking a waterfall.

Journal has a new entry:

I've got Nuts' toy! I should bring it back to him.

So does Maru:

You found Nuts' toy! You should give it back to Nuts.

You'll find him in a room wiff lots of other pets!

Return to Nuts: Nuts has new gossip:

<Nuts looks at your hand expectantly.>

 <Give the plush toy to Nuts.>

<Nuts sniffs the plush and rejects the toy.>

The journal receives its last update:

All of the toys have been found and returned! I should go tell Maru.
