Corruption of Earth and Seed

Slay Princess Theradras and return to Selendra near Shadowprey Village in Desolace.
  •  
Princess Theradras slain

Description

Deep in Maraudon lives an evil creature of chaos--Princess Theradras is an elemental force of earth related to the Old Gods. Ages ago, she and Zaetar, first son of Cenarius, began a relationship. The offspring of their time together became known to the people of Kalimdor as centaur. Ever-thankful creatures, the centaur killed Zaetar, and now hold Zaetar's remains. My quest here is to find those powerful enough to slay Theradras so we may recover Zaetar's remains before returning to Stonetalon.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Thrash Blade
Resurgence Rod
Verdant Keeper's Aim

Progress

I would prefer to fight this battle on our own, but we are left with no other options--we need those more powerful, and the races of Azeroth have proven without a doubt they can overcome such things when they work together. So it is to you we turn for help.

I only hope it is enough.

Zaetar, brother to Remulos, brought many pains to this world, and ultimately it caused his own death. I just hope I have not caused more death by asking you to aid us.

Completion

This is most wonderful news, <name>! Thank you!

I will speak with Marandis and ask his wisdom on the topic of Zaetar's remains, but at least you have overcome the hardest of the tasks.

I was told that if we were successful in our mission, I had permission to reward those who aided us. I was given these items as tokens from our people--you may choose one.

Gains

Here's how you get your Thrash Blade - the quick way if you don't want to waste the time of whoever 70 is pulling you through. I like doing it on the purple side because i hate the blobs in the orange side.. they can ruin your day.

1. Be level 45 or higher, and go to Nijels Point (Alliance) or Shadowprey Village (Horde). Make it your home for hearthing out
2. Get the ""Corruption of Earth and Seed"" quest. https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7064 For Horde, https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7065 For Alliance.
3. Go To Maraudon
4. From the entrance, follow the path until you get to a room with three exits and one from where you came.
5. Pick the leftmost tunnel, you should see purple crystals lining the walls.Keep to the right as you follow the path, and soon you will see the entrance to the instance.

6. Purple wing is pretty linear. Follow it to the end, and skip or kill Lord Vyletongue .
7. Now, from Lord Vyletongue, keep going deeper in the purple dungeon.
8. After quite a few pulls, you will reach a waterfilled area that ends in a waterfall (going down).
9. Jump down the waterfall.
10. Go left and forge ahead until you reach Celebras the Cursed, pass him,(or kill) and jump down the waterfall behind him.

http://www.wow-pro.com/guidepics/maraudonmap2.jpg From now this map will help You will start on the mark ""entrance"" and you will be facing south (down on the picture).

11. Swim across the pool you land in, and walk straight into the caves ahead.
12. Work your way straight ahead, until you see a small cave entrance to the left. Full of Dinosaur lizards.
13. Work your way through there until you start encountering giants.
14. Soon you'll find yourself in a large cavern, and the path will seem to split to one way going right and up, instead go further in deep.
15. Soon you'll be on the ramp leading to the princess, lined with more giants.
16. Kill the princess according to whatever strategy guide you prefer. http://www.wowwiki.com/Theradras Wowwiki Strat.
17. Loot, hearth, claim your shiny new Thrash Blade.
