Fate and Coincidence

Quest 3 of 5 in the Ruuna Chain
Alliance • Grizzly Hills • Level 75 • White Pine Trading Post
Travel east from Ruuna's Camp to the White Pine Trading Post [57, 41] and speak to Sasha.
Pure travel quest, about one minute on mount. Head east, passing south of Grizzlemaw (don't cut through it). Sasha is at the trading post with a Wolfcult captive named Anatoly at gunpoint. After turning in, pick up both Sasha's Hunt and Anatoly Will Talk before heading out. They send you toward Solstice Village.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Two strangers granted the same vision by a blind woman who didn't believe in coincidence. Sasha was waiting at the White Pine Trading Post, and she wasn't surprised to see Vikstone arrive.

“There are two types of people in this world, Vikstone. Those who believe in coincidence and those who don’t. On the day I lost my eyesight I was given the gift of clairvoyance. I suppose you can guess what sort of person I am. Earlier today, a young woman named Sasha was granted the same vision you were. You will want to talk to her.

You’ll find her directly east of here at the White Pine Trading Post, on the way to Solstice Village.”

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Ruuna the Blind — Ruuna’s Camp, Grizzly Hills [44, 48]

Objective: Speak to Sasha at the White Pine Trading Post [57, 41].

 

Walkthrough

  • From Ruuna’s Camp, head directly east. The quest text specifically says east toward the White Pine Trading Post, on the way to Solstice Village.
  • Stick to the road and pass south of Grizzlemaw [50, 42]. Do not cut through it; the furbolgs inside are hostile and densely packed.
  • Sasha is at the White Pine Trading Post [57, 41], holding a Wolfcult member named Anatoly at gunpoint. Talk to her to complete the quest.

 

Efficiency Tips

  • This is a pure travel quest with no combat. If you’re mounted, it takes about a minute from Ruuna’s Camp.
  • Chain Position: This is the final quest in the Ruuna chain (4 of 4). Turning it in unlocks two quests from Sasha at White Pine Trading Post: Sasha’s Hunt and Anatoly Will Talk. Pick up both before heading out, as they send you in the same direction toward Solstice Village.

 

Lore Context

Ruuna reveals that Sasha already witnessed the same vision of Arugal’s resurrection (from the previous quest). This wasn’t a coincidence, hence the quest name. Ruuna, who doesn’t believe in coincidence, sees it as fate drawing you and Sasha together.

Sasha is a young trapper from Silverbrook whose father, Mikhail, was murdered by the Wolfcult and whose sister, Anya, was kidnapped. Alliance players will recognize her as the trapper they rescued during the Silverbrook conspiracy chain; Horde players saved her from execution by Sergeant Bonesnap in the Tactical Clemency quest.

Either way, she’s now channeling her anger into hunting the Wolfcult, starting with the captive Anatoly.

You will receive (if completed at level 90):

26 Silver

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

“There are two types of people in this world,” Ruuna said. “Those who believe in coincidence and those who don’t. On the day I lost my eyesight I was given the gift of clairvoyance. I suppose you can guess what sort of person I am.”

She told me another had shared my vision. A young woman named Sasha, granted the same sight of Arugal’s resurrection. “You will want to talk to her. You’ll find her directly east of here at the White Pine Trading Post, on the way to Solstice Village.”

Solstice Village. The name from my trance.

The road east wound through pines heavy with morning mist. White Pine Trading Post emerged from the grey, a modest waystation on the road to whatever darkness awaited.

Sasha was waiting. Mikhail’s daughter, the woman who’d grabbed my arm at Bonesnap’s camp and told me to trust no one. She looked different outside the panic of the Silverbrook escape, like she’d found something to fight for instead of from.

“I was wondering when you’d turn up,” she said. “Think you can give me a hand here?”

Two strangers bound by the same vision. Ruuna believed in patterns. I believed in following leads until they led somewhere useful.

 

Sasha has a Wolfcult member at gunpoint, and he has information she needs. His name is Anatoly, and the persuasion begins in Anatoly Will Talk.
