Objectives[]

Mount upon Ebonfang and search for the Fangs of Ashamane.

• Ebonfang Mounted
• [Shell of Clear Speech] (provided)

Description[]

I have to admit, Verstok was right. The shrine was too easy of a target for the Burning Legion to attack. Still, he's gone and the Fangs are with him.

We're going to have to track him down for you to recover the Fangs. I should come with you but I have to stay with my people should we be attacked again.

Here, my companion Ebonfang has a sense of smell like no other. He will be able to guide you to wherever Verstok is hiding. Also take this shell, through it we can communicate.

May Elune guide you.

Rewards[]

You will receive:

• 46 20
• 22,200 XP

Progress[]

How goes your search?

Completion[]

I've heard from Delandros about how you rescued the Ashen and protected the shrine.

We all owe you a great deal for your heroism, <name>. And it seems that you were able to recover the Fangs as well!

I suspect this war is far from over.

Notes[]

Quest accept

Delandros Shimmermoon sends out a sharp whistle to summon Ebonfang.

Stage 1: On the Prowl[]

You've come to the ruins of Falanaar in search of Verstok and the Fangs of Ashamane.

• Followed Verstok's scent.

Delandros Shimmermoonsays: Can you hear me through this thing, <name>? You should be near Verstok's location by now.

Delandros Shimmermoonsays: My foolish protege was in such a rush to escape the Shrine, I'll wager he failed to mask his scent. Shift into cat form and you'll likely detect it.

Shift into [Cat Form] and follow the trail. Withered Creepers are also nearby.

Stage 2: Where There's a Withered There's a Way[]

Verstok's scent leads into the ruins, but the door is sealed shut. Find a way to open it.

• Doorway Opened

Delandros Shimmermoonsays: Careful! The ruins are infested by withered, pitiful creatures with an unending hunger for the arcane. The power of the Fangs might have lured some to Verstok's trail.

Use [Prowl] to avoid getting into unnecessary fights, but be wary of any patrolling Nightfallen Constructs. Continue to follow Verstok's scent, which will lead you to a Ruined Switch.

Delandros Shimmermoonsays: Whatever you did seems to have annoyed those withered. This might work to your advantage. See if you can find another switch.

The second switch is located on the other side opposite of the first. Using the switch also summons Ravenous Withered.

Stage 3: Onward, Upward, and Downward[]

Follow Verstok's trail into the temple depths.

• Follow Verstok's trail into the temple depths

Enter the Temple of Fal'adora.

Verstok Darkboughyells: I see you! You may look like a druid, but I can tell you're a demon in disguise. I won't fall for your trick! You'll never get the Fangs from me!

Delandros Shimmermoonsays: Has Verstok gone mad? Wielding the Fangs enhances one's senses, but I'm afraid it also heightened his paranoia.

Delandros Shimmermoonsays: You must get the Fangs away from Verstok, <name>. The longer they remain in his possession, the greater his delusion becomes.

Continue following the scent until you come across a platform. Use it to leap over the gate that is blocking the way.

Verstok Darkboughyells: Leave, demon! Begone! Why won't you just GO AWAY!?

Stage 4: It's a Furball[]

The power of the Fangs has driven Verstok insane. Subdue him.

• Defeat Verstok

Verstok Darkboughyells: You won't leave? Very well, I'll end this chase myself!

Verstok appears out of the shadows, ready to fight.

Verstok Darkboughsays: The Fangs are mine! MINE!!

The druid adventurer fights Verstok. Upon nearing defeat, he stuns the adventurer using [Maim].

Verstok Darkboughyells: No! I'll never submit!

Verstok flees deeper into the temple.

Stage 5: Into the Darkness[]

Verstok has fled into a series of caves beneath the ruins, find him.

• Chase after Verstok

Verstok Darkboughyells: Argh! What is this? Release me at once!

Webmistress Shinarissays: Look what fell into my web! Tonight I shall feast!

Delandros Shimmermoonsays: What on Azeroth was that!? Be careful, <name>!

Stage 6: In a Tangled Web[]

You've found Verstok caught in the web of a horrific creature. Slay it.

• Webmistress Shinaris Slain

Webmistress Shinarissays: Stick around... it's meal time!

Webmistress Shinaris proceeds to wrap webbing around Verstok.

Webmistress Shinarissays: What's this? Another intruder approaches!

Interrupt her cast when she tries trap you in her webbing.

Stage 7: The Fangs of Ashamane[]

The Fangs of Ashamane are yours. Take them.

• Retrieve the Fangs of Ashamane

Verstok Darkboughsays: Freedom! I thought I was going to be spider food!

Verstok Darkboughsays: I wanted to protect the Fangs, but was soon overwhelmed. You've proven yourself far more capable as their protector. Please, take them.

Final Stage: To the Grove[]
