Cenarius' Legacy

Kill 4 Sons of Cenarius, 4 Daughters of Cenarius and 4 Cenarion Botanists for Braelyn Firehand near Sun Rock Retreat.
  •  
Son of Cenarius slain (4)
  •  
Daughter of Cenarius slain (4)
  •  
Cenarion Botanist slain (4)

Description

You cannot imagine the hatred I possess for this wretched land. The ilk of Cenarius and the kaldorei druids at the peak employ their pathetic powers to stifle the flow of magic, even so far south of their pathetic holdings... their beloved forests.

Would that I could return to Jaedenar and exult in the flow of magic, but my master will not allow me to return until my work is done.

I have no doubt you love the night elves and their allies as little as I. Aid me, and both our ends might be satisfied.

Progress

Here, channeling magic is like drawing water from a well with a bucket full of holes.

Completion

Already I can feel it... yes... power so sweet... the rushing flood. The kaldorei are foolish to spurn the gifts of this world, to reject the coursing of magic as it flows singing through your veins.

What a pale mockery life is without its burning embrace!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 150 experience (9 at max. level)

Be aware that the Daughters can use Dispel Magic. Doing this with my druid recently, I found my Mark of the Wild buff disappearing...

Also watch for nearby mobs. Except for the tree guardians that accompany the Sons, all the mobs you face will run at low health. Be prepared to stop them or deal with adds.

note what this blood elf says in the text: Would that I could return to Jaedenar and exult in the flow of magic, but my master will not allow me to return until my work is done. Jaedenar is cultist place with evil magic and many quests in felwood kinda strange why she is here....

I chose not to to do this quest on a Horde character because of the quest text/objective.

Keep in mind that, while doing this quest on a PvE server, if one does choose to kill Keeper Albagorm (for whatever reason), it will flag you for PvP and any Allies landing in Stonetalon will find a convenient HK :P

Go back on the main path, and keep following it as far as you can and when you make it to the top, you will see what you need to kill. Easy quest.

Easy quest, just about anyone should be able to solo at lvl 25+. I completed as Protection Paladin. Straight forward melee. Only thing to keep in mind for Pallys is that the daughters have a chance to dispel your seal spells. Not a big deal, there's no cool down or timer. Just keep it in mind as you may go to unleash a judgement and can't because she dispelled your seal. Just reactivate your seal and continue as normal. Otherwise, pretty straight forward fight and relatively easy to take them down.

They all appear to be somewhat resistant against nature spells, and the dryads seemed to take only half of my nature spells damage. Sons of Cenarius were partially annoying with their Treant Ally, which had a damage and health of a regular mob of that level but didn't drop any loot of experience. Bit disappointing.

Lore-wise, this quest is very wrong if you're a tauren druid, because your supposed to be freinds with Cenarius, not kill his people. Of course you could try to be an evil druid. =)
And no, killing these NPCs does not harm your reputation with the Cenarion Circle, they are Alliance aligned.

Once again, simple game mechanics.

There is no reason in lore to ever allow Horde to form bonds with the Cenarion Circle after killing Cenarius, demon blood infused or not. Even Thrall, who is so aptly named as the diplomat orc, REFUSED to apologize for the death of Cenarius. No matter what side you're on, and whether or not you find the night elves to have been right to start aggression without approaching in diplomacy first, keep that in mind. As if the Frostwolves didn't do the same thing in Alterac Valley.

Furthermore, if tauren truly are close to nature, there's no reason for tauren or at least their druids to be allowed to enter WSG matches without losing Cenarion Rep, considering all they are doing is furthering Horde deforestation and excessive waste of lumber that even the satyrs benefit from. Either tauren druids are complete inferiors of night elves when it comes to being one with the land and feeling it's pain, or they have pathetic double standards that put wasteful gathering of lumber over the well being of the natural world. The fact that half the night elves from Warc 3 being turned into a ridicilous ""Neutral"" faction and Nighthaven (The most populated night elven city after Darnassus) being turned into a neutral stronghold where warlocks and death knights can stride around with their pets out is just Metzen's ""http://www.wowwiki.com/Chris_Metzen My heart lies with the Horde..."" statement ringing true. And the fact that any member of the Horde would ally itself with Shadow Council cultists, as well as allowing them to find refuge in one of their outposts is nowhere near the term ""Honorable"" as the orcs like to foam at the mouth in their war cries. But hey, what else can you expect from the faction that has night elf captives in Malaka'jin, help a Witch Doctor torture them, and kill more animals in the process? (Note: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1058 Jin'Zil's Forest Magic) Or a faction allied with cannibalistic zombies that murder sleeping druids in Ashenvale? Even the night elves, who screwed up royally 10,000 years ago are still steadfast in their beliefs of defending the land and reforestation. Orcs were freed of their corruption... what, 6-8 years ago? And they allow former Scourge, fel-magic addicted blood elves (albeit cured after the events of Sunwell) and the occasional Jaedenar cultist among their ranks? Brilliant. If it weren't for Thrall few attempts at good, Orgrimmar would be no different than Blackrock Spire.

So yeah, think twice before you say ""Oh, they're Alliance, they attack on sight..."" you're damn right they do. Nevermind the fact that you're intruding on a Barrow Den waaaaaay out of the road to Sun Rock Retreat and is designated Alliance territory. Newly awakened druids even attacked Malfurion and Tyrande during the WC 3 campaign, what makes Horde hypocrites that killed one of the few remaining elder sons of Cenarius, poached the remaining wildlife in Sunrock and performed sick experiments on war prisoners so special? If it weren't for the tauren quest giver to plant some seeds in the Charred Vale, the Horde might as well join the Venture Co. And this is all under Thrall, with the common excuse of ""He doesn't know about it, I'm sure he doesn't support this."" I wonder what more will happen when Garrosh comes into play. Constantly hiding behind demon blood as an excuse for genocide, cowardly war tactics that result in the greater evil winning (Note: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=13230 Broken Front) and war crimes (Treatment of all prisoners in Horde hands) is starting to get old. Nevermind the fact only one of the three noted above was under the effects of Pit Lord blood. If it weren't for the occasional tauren druid or orc shaman with a shred of decency, trying to clear up the mess that their wayward people create, the Horde would be no different than the Burning Legion's baby, just as it was during the Second War.

-- A former member and tireless defender of the ""Mighty"", ""Honorable"" Horde.

Yeah... this quest sounded strange to me too.

In fact, the one behind this quest is the ""master"" that the cultist speaks of. ""It"" sent her to kill Cenarius' Legacy in Stonetalon.
The question is: why someone like this is alligned with the Horde?

It could have been interesting if there was some later quest that enlighted who this master was, and maybe a mission to go kill/capture it.

Because.. as it is, it's just demons working hands in hands with the Horde.
