The Howling Vale

Go to the Howling Vale and study the Tome of Mel'Thandris, then return to Sentinel Melyria Frostshadow at Forest Song.
  •  
View the Tome of Mel'Thandris

Description

Though we have put many resources and much effort into driving the remaining demons from the Felwood to the north, our successes have been few. We have been able to keep much of the demonic presence from Ashenvale.

To the north, near the Felwood border, the ruined shrine of Mel'Thandris has been overtaken by mysterious wolf-men. Their chilling calls have led the area to be known as the Howling Vale. The Tome of Mel'Thandris kept at the shrine may shed some light on why these wolf-men have come.

Reward

Also, you get: 25

Progress

The tome of the shrine is a mysterious object. It is not a book in the traditional sense. The leaves of the tome were blessed by Mel'Thandris herself, and records events of import in its pages.

It is hard for me to explain. If you go to the shrine, you will understand.

Completion

The Tome of Mel'Thandris works in strange ways. The events it records, the events it shows... No one truly understands why it does what it does.

Nonetheless, it is clear that what Priestess Starsong received--this Scythe of Elune--bears further investigation.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 245 experience (14 70 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Darnassus

To reach the vale you travel north toward Felwood and look west until you see a sloping path. The path has a few worgen and leads up to a cave at 53, 38. Go through the cave and you'll find the shrine on the other side. The book is on a table just in front of the shrine.

I did this at hunter level 28. Just send your pet to attack Packleader, then read the book and RUN! Easy :)

Don't know if this quest has changed, but on my way to the tome I was able to pull the lvl 28 mobs one by one, and then when I reached the tome I just pulled the lvl 28 mob closest to it so I could read the thing without aggro'ing anyone.

Just done this mission with my lock at level 30. So here's some clarification...

Firstly 55,32 is the path up to the cave, go here and head up the path to the cave.
Secondly once through the cave you do not have to fight all the way down the path and around to the book, just head to the left as you come out of the cave drop down off the side to end up behind the book.
Thirdly, the pack leader is a Silver Elite who I have seen once and this was that time, I was a little confused with the comments about him until I did it again. I pulled him by himself and killed him. Got a nice Necklace for it too!

As someone already said take it easy in there and you'll be fine. When I was done I Hearthstoned out... lazy maybe... late for work yes :)

Completed it as a 27 Hunter w/ 26 Ghost Saber. I ran into one problem when I pulled three at once but I droped back behind the shrine and the Worgen got confused and couldn't follow me, they just run back and forth ona tree limb. Not sure if this works every time though cause I never got a chance to actually test it or see if I just got Lucky. Just pull one at a time and you got it. Hope this helps.

Coords are
50,39 for teh book
52,37 For the Cave mouth
And 55,32 For teh Trailhead.
For people w/o Coords it's a trail with Werewolf thingies on it just left of teh road to Felwood Near all the Treants.

Easily done at 30. Mobs can be single pulled or in pairs with one trapped.

on the road at 55.8, 32.4 look due west and you will see the path. While it is sort of near the place where you got the iron rod it is a couple hundred yards away. Why mind sooth your way through when you can mostly single pull them without mind soothe and always single pull with mind soothe and they drop about a silver per, good experience, and a couple green items if you kill them all?

Text from the event:

Velinde Sarsong says: The numbers of my companions dwindles, goddess, and my own power shall soon be insufficient to hold back the demons of Felwood.

Velinde Sarsong says: Goddess, grant me the power to overcome my enemies! Hear me, please, my need is desperate and my cause is just!

Velinde Sarsong says: What... what is this? Could this by the answer to my prayers? Elune has granted me a weapon--this scythe--to defeat the demons.

Go north on the road from Raynewood Retreat until you are at 55.9 32.6. You should see a road heading West, follow that road until you reach the cave... The Howling Vale.

I did this as a 26 druid. You prowl through the cave. The 29's see you but you can just kill one at a time. Then jump down to the left as soon as you exit the cave. Pull one 29, watch out there is one wolf that pats. Pull the second 29 and then you can complete the quest.

follow the path to the north to felwood at 55.8, 32.2 (just before the entrance to felwood) stop and turn to the left. there is a path going up a slope. the path is hard to see though. follow it up and around to the left. at the top is a cave. go through the cave and on the other side is where the tome is located. should be down another slope and to the left.

This is the start of an interesting quest line. It explains how the worgen came to Azeroth. It will be interesting to see how this ties in with the Alliance worgen in Cataclysm.
