The Sleeper Has Awakened

Escort Kerlonian Evershade to Liladris Moonriver at Maestra's Post in Ashenvale.
  •  
Escort Kerlonian Evershade to Maestra's Post
Horn of Awakening

Description

I was on my way to Maestra's Post to meet Liladris Moonriver, but I decided to stop here and take a short nap. Ever since I awoke from the emerald dream, I have been so sleepy...

<yawn>

Would you mind showing me the way? I understand that Maestra's Post is south of here, along the road in Ashenvale. It can be dangerous, so I hope you have some friends that will join us.

Lastly, I may fall asleep so if you ever need to wake me, please use my horn. You'll find it in the chest here.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Owlsight Rifle
Jadefinger Baton
Steelcap Shield

Progress

Has Kerlonian arrived?

Completion

Oh, I am so happy Kerlonian made it! And I'm sure I'll find him sleeping somewhere around here, won't I?

Thank you for showing him the way, <name>.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 155 experience (9 30 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Darnassus

This quest is a pain unless you cheat a bit.

The NPC follows you (not a predefined route), so all you need to do is to keep away from the road while escorting him to Maestra's Post. That way you can fight the lowish mobs in the woods, one by one, instead of going through the scripted battles (I don't remember how many there are, but at least two, both with three mobs).

Completed at level 18, failed on level 17 since I didn't stay far enough from the road near Maestra's Post (make sure you take the longer route:).

Tried this quest at level 20. The ambush in Darkshire was easy, but the one in Ashenvale was too hard. Both times I followed the road, I got 3 warlocks. The guy you're escorting can't take 3 shadowbolts, and as a melee class I couldn't engage all 3 warlocks before they killed him. It's interesting trying to watch someone that's following you path through the mountains, though ... I don't know why Blizzard made this escort quest where the NPC follows you, yet almost every other one you have to follow them.

He is found at 44, 76 Grove of the Ancients in Darkshore. Next to him is the box which contains the horn that you HAVE to have to keep wakening him on the quest route. He will fall asleep and you have to waken him up each time. The quest giver Onu is with him in that area also.

This quest is more turned to melee classes, the only good reward you have is the shield. Anyway, it is easy to complete and it gives good xp, so i advise you all to do it.

Just keep off the roads and keep waking him up, i did it at the first time, very, very easy, only had to fight a nightstalker right on the beggining, just be careful not to aggro other mobs.

Kerlonian Evershade acts as a pet in defensive stance, and will support you in battles. He will follow you throughout the quest, and is not set to an automatic path. You can use him as an advantage for battling multiple mobs, if you'd like to use him that way...

Since you got 25 min to complete this quest, it will be a good idea to do the quest ""One Shot, One Kill"" while you have Kerlonian Evershade to help you fight. After you accept this quest go to 45,90 and take the quest there. You have to protect the girl from the mobs and when she's safe you can complete both quests at Maestra's Post. Easy xp

REMEMBER: if you do this quest in a group ALL of you must get the horn to turn it in. If you don't get the horn, you can't turn it in. Good Luck!

Don't stick to the road those locks at the end are a pain in the ass if your not a healer even at 23 with my ghostsaber cat at 23 i still failed because they hit him once with shadowbolt then the fire dot finished him off. even though that's the only dmg he took

Don't know if anyone else had this problem, but with the addon 'Questhelper' my client would crash when i picked this quest up, and as soon as i logged in with this quest in my quest log. Easily fixed by disabling it.

Isn't it funny how other players just sit and watch while you struggle with 3 mobs that are 2 to 3 levels higher than you?

This is actually a reference to a quest you have to do in Warcraft: RoC. You must find the Horn of Awakening in order to awaken the sleeping druids so that they may fight back against the invading Scourge.

This is the part of the Lore where the druids wake up from they're slumber since the Sundering I think.

Only the people that have played Warcraft RoC would get the connection, so a nice little tid bit for you lore fiends that haven't played the original games :D

Unfortunatly, this guy is slow and you cannot mount (at least 120% its the only one I checked) you will loose him and fail

The quest title is also a reference to Dune.

""Father, the sleeper has awakened.""

Does anyone have a list of the various quotes he says or emotes he does when falling asleep? Right now I am working on an addon that will alert people when events requiring attention happen during an escort quest but I need to know what the NPCs say for it or what emotes they perform. In the comments on ""A Little Help From My Friends"" there is a list of the quotes for when the NPC faints, I would like to see something similar for this quest, and for ""Wandering Shay"" and eventually any other quests of this nature, where there's a chance you might miss an event happening that you have to react to.

Be careful to not get too far ahead of the guy. I was almost at Maestra's Post (I could see it just ahead) and too late I realised Kerlonian has stopped for a sleep. As I had gotten too far away, I failed. My point is, stay near Kerlonian and watch your chat box carefully unless you want to run all the way back to Grove of the Ancients and get the quest again.

After finally finishing this quest (managed to avoid any suprises), when going back to Darkshore I kept looking behind and on the chat to make sure this guy didn't fall asleep.
Lol

easily solo'd while folowing the road perfectly as a lv 21 feral cat druid.
the three furbolgs were easy, but the warlocks (i got all 3 of them) were a pain.
had to rejuvinate and regrowth on kerlonian and i was fine after that. really not a hard quest at all if done carefully
