Notes
On accept, Merithra casts the "Blessing of Merithra" buff on the player, causing them to glow with life energy.
Blessing of Merithra — Entrusted with the authority of the word of Merithra.- Merithra says: With this blessing, <name>, my people will know that you speak with my voice. Now go, quickly!
- Guard-Captain Alowen
Alowen is guarding the northern path down from the sanctuary with a group of Emerald Scaleguards and Emerald Wardens, in front of several scorched Primalist Invader corpses.
- The Primalists seem to have paused their attack. Do you bring news of their movements?
The Primalists are on the move. Merithra calls the flight to battle!- Guard-Captain Alowen says: More bloodshed it is, then. My forces will head there at once. See you in the fray, <class>.
- Alowen and her forces run down the path to the west.
- Sariosa
Sariosa the flight master is standing just to the northeast of Merithra, next to a flock of Messenger Mallards—three adults and one duckling.
- Greetings! Oh my, I see that you've come on behalf of Merithra. Is something wrong?
- The Ancient Bough is in danger! Please help deliver the message.
- Sariosa says: Your message will be sent on the swiftest wings to the farthest reaches of the groves. Everyone must help!
- She walks over to the Messenger Mallards. The adults fly away while the duckling hops and runs away on foot.
In the area, Gracus offers a side quest: [62-65] Some Call Me Bug Catcher.
- Sidra the Mender
Sidra is found in the northern part of the grove, healing the wounded Vermera. She is surrounded by several other wounded Emerald Scaleguards and Wardens, one of whom is being healed by a Sister of the Garden. On approach:
- Vermera roars in pain.
- Sidra the Mender says: Easy, 'Mera. The more you stay still, the easier this will be to heal.
Talk to Sidra:
- The Primalists attacked us without mercy. We held our own, but it came at a heavy cost.
- You are needed at the front.
- Sidra the Mender says: My sisters and I will answer Merithra's call. We will be right behind you to care for the wounded.
- Viranikus
Viranikus is located atop Merithra's Watch overlooking the sanctuary. Aronus offers transports to the platform if the player doesn't want to fly there on their own. Hovering in front of Viranikus are three more dragons: Berinus, Hesthera, and Fernarus. Talk to Viranikus:
- The Primalists are scattered for the time being. Peace descends on the Ancient Bough once more. Thank you, <race>.
- The centaur clans have declared their support. Rally your troops!
- Viranikus says: You heard the <race>! To battle, dragons! Do your flight proud.
- Berinus roars.
- The three dragons fly off to the north. After a moment, Viranikus flies after them.
