Corruption of Earth and Seed

Slay Princess Theradras and return to Keeper Marandis at Nijel's Point in Desolace.
  •  
Princess Theradras slain

Description

In the depths of Maraudon lives a creature of chaos and evil, <name>. Princess Theradras is an elemental force of earth related somehow to the Old Gods. Ages ago, she was sought out by Zaetar, first son of Cenarius. The offspring of their... relationship are the creatures known as centaur. Ever-thankful creatures, the centaur killed Zaetar, and now Theradras keeps his 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 feel the weight of imposing my plea on the mortal races, but we are left with no other options. The races of Azeroth have proven without a doubt they can overcome such things when they work together, so it is to them I ask 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. There is a lesson there to all of us if we are wise enough to see it.

Completion

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

Although it concerns me that you were not able to bring back Zaetar's remains, who am I to question the will of Cenarius' first born. Perhaps now the will of the centaur will break and their thirst for blood will lesson--we can only hope.

If successful in our mission, I was given these items to reward any who aided us. You may choose one as a token of thanks.

Princess (the mob you need to kill for this quest) is a level 51 elite which hits pretty hard, has a lot of HP and does a fear attack as well. A balanced group is required to take her down, with at least a 50 tank and a good healer.

She drops very good stuff as you'll notice reading the appropriate page.

After Princess don't forget to jump down in the water to kill Rotgrip.

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.
