Latent Power

Quest 7 of 8 in the Kurun Chain

Alliance • Grizzly Hills • Level 75 • Eastwind Shore

Charge the Shard of Gavrock at three Ancient Stones along the Eastwind Shore.

Start at the island stone [78, 39] (closest to Gavrock), then [74, 44], then [71, 39]. Use the shard from your inventory at each stone. No need to wait for the channel to complete. Mount up and move immediately after each use. The whole quest takes about two minutes. Pair with Runes of Compulsion if you haven't finished it yet.

Vikstone's Classic Expedition

Gavrock pressed a piece of his own body into Vikstone's palm, warm and alive in a way ordinary rock should not be. Three ancient stones along the shore would charge it with enough power to break what the iron dwarves had built.

“While the runes of compulsion are dormant, there is a chance we can release the runed giants. I will give you a piece of stone that has been part of me since my creation. If properly imbued, it can be used to free the bound giants. Two ancient stone markers sit atop places of power between the Path of Iron and the forest’s edge — locations your people would call the intersections of ley lines. The other is on an island at the southern end of these ruins.

Charge the shard at each stone and return.”

Quest Giver: Gavrock — Ruins of Tethys, Grizzly Hills [80, 33]

Objective: Charge the Shard of Gavrock at the First Ancient Stone, the Second Ancient Stone, and the Third Ancient Stone, then return to Gavrock.

Walkthrough

Gavrock gives you a piece of his own body (a stone shard) to charge at three Ancient Stones located at ley line intersections. Two sit along the Path of Iron near the forest’s edge, and the third is on a small island at the southern end of the Ruins of Tethys.
At each stone, use the Shard of Gavrock from your inventory. A channeling bar begins, but you do not need to wait for the channel to complete. Just use the item and move on.

Stone Locations:

First Ancient Stone: [71, 39] (west of the Path of Iron, near the forest edge)
Second Ancient Stone: [78, 39] (on a small island south of the Ruins of Tethys)
Third Ancient Stone: [74, 44] (along the Path of Iron, slightly south)

Recommended Route

From Gavrock, head south to the island stone at [78, 39] first (it’s closest). Then head west to [74, 44], and finish at [71, 39]. All three are close together and the whole quest takes about two minutes.

Efficiency Tips

Mount immediately after each activation since there’s no need to wait for the channel. This is one of the fastest quests in the chain.
Pick this up at the same time as Runes of Compulsion since they overlap the same area along the Eastwind Shore.

Vikstone's War Journal

Gavrock held out a rough stone shard. The surface was warm, alive in a way ordinary rock should not be.

Vikstone Portrait Act 2 — Illustrated by Christian DiBari and Simon Gough.

“This piece has been part of me since my creation,” he said. “If properly imbued, it can free the bound giants.”

He explained the task. Three ancient stones marked places of power along the Eastwind Shore, where ley lines intersected beneath the earth. I needed to charge the shard at each one.

The first stone stood near the Path of Iron, tucked against the forest’s edge. When I touched the shard to its surface, dormant energy stirred. The second stone lay deeper in, nestled among twisted roots. The shard grew heavier in my hand, dense with gathered power.

The third stone sat on an island at the southern tip of the ruins, surrounded by crashing waves. As I pressed the shard against it, the accumulated energy filled every fissure. The stone in my palm now pulsed.

Gavrock examined the shard and nodded slowly.

“I can detect the power you’ve imbued,” he rumbled. “I hope it will be enough to break the runic magic.”

The shard pulses with ancient power, and Gavrock hopes it will be enough. Whether hope can break titan-forged chains is the question waiting in Free at Last.
