Description
Strength has left me. Your help is needed!
Long ago this site was a great temple of Elune. But misfortune led to ruin when the corruption of an Old God seeped up from beneath the earth and tainted the sacred Moon Well.
Aku'Mai, servant of the Old God, rose from the waters.
The Twilight's Hammer cultists have allied with the naga to occupy these grounds. The cultists, led by Kelris, sacrifice innocents to Aku'Mai for power.
Slay Kelris and bring his head to Bashana in Thunder Bluff, your name, please.
In progress
May the Earthmother be with you, your name.
Peace between the earth and all her people should be our goal. She has a grand plan for nature, and we all have a role to play in that plan.
Completion
Kelris has eluded the Argent Dawn for some time.
For some time they considered him dead or missing.
By ending his reign you have spared the lives of many innocent people, your name.
Earthmother be praised! To sacrifice another to a servant of an Old God for personal gain is beyond disgusting!
You have done a great thing this day. Kelris was a creature of evil and sought to bring the world back to a time of chaos by worshipping such creatures as the Old Gods. Thank you, your name.
