Ruuna the Blind

Quest 5 of 5 in the Westfall Brigade Chain (Finale)
Alliance • Grizzly Hills • Level 75 • Vordrassil Pass
Speak to Ruuna the Blind at her camp [44, 48] near Vordrassil Pass, southwest of the Westfall Brigade Encampment.
Ride southwest from the encampment. No combat. Speak to Ruuna to complete the quest and accept Ruuna's Request immediately. This is the gateway to the Sasha/Arugal arc, which moves through Ruuna's vision quest and eventually leads to the final assault on Arugal at Bloodmoon Isle.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Everyone with working eyes had missed it. The blind woman sitting beside a fire near Vordrassil Pass hadn't, and her warning about the answers being unpleasant sounded less like caution and more like a promise.

“Hey there. I overheard what you were saying to the captain and I just want you to know… things aren’t that simple in Northrend. Just because someone’s dead it doesn’t mean they’re out of the picture. Southwest of here, near Vordrassil Pass, lives a blind woman who goes by the name Ruuna the Blind. They say she speaks to the dead and has visions of the past and future.

I haven’t heard your whole story but it sounds like she’d be right up your alley.”

-Private Arun

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Private Arun — Westfall Brigade Encampment, Grizzly Hills [59.2, 26.2]

Objective: Speak to Ruuna the Blind at Ruuna’s Camp near Vordrassil Pass.

 

Walkthrough

  • After completing A Name from the Past, Private Arun at the encampment overhears your conversation with Stoutmantle about the supposedly dead Arugal. He tells you that “just because someone’s dead doesn’t mean they’re out of the picture” in Northrend, and points you to a blind seer southwest of the encampment.
  • Ride southwest to Ruuna’s Camp at [44, 48] near Vordrassil Pass. Speak to Ruuna the Blind to complete the quest.

 

Efficiency Tips

  • Ruuna immediately offers Ruuna’s Request, which has you collecting Gossamer Dust from moths northeast of her camp. Accept it before heading out.
  • This is the gateway to the Sasha/Arugal arc. From here the chain moves through Ruuna’s vision quest (Out of Body Experience), into Sasha’s hunt for the Wolfcult, and eventually to the final assault on Arugal at Bloodmoon Isle.

 

Lore Context

Private Arun’s dialogue is a neat bit of Northrend worldbuilding. In a continent overrun by the Scourge, death doesn’t carry the same finality it does elsewhere. Stoutmantle dismisses the idea of Arugal being alive because he saw his grave, but Arun understands that graves mean less in a land where the dead walk.

Ruuna greets you with: “You seek knowledge beyond your reach, so you’ve come to me. I must warn you, stranger, the answers I provide might not be to your liking.” This sets the tone for what’s coming: her vision quest will show you Arugal’s resurrection by the San’layn princes, confirming the threat that Stoutmantle refused to believe.

Private Arun caught my arm as I left the captain’s tent.

“Hey there. I overheard what you were saying to the captain and I just want you to know… things aren’t that simple in Northrend.” His voice dropped. “Just because someone’s dead it doesn’t mean they’re out of the picture.”

Finally. Someone who understood.

“Southwest of here, near Vordrassil Pass, lives a blind woman who goes by the name Ruuna the Blind. They say she speaks to the dead and has visions of the past and future.” He studied my face. “I haven’t heard your whole story but it sounds like she’d be right up your alley.”

I thanked him and rode southwest.

Ruuna’s camp was modest. A single tent beneath ancient pines, smoke curling from a small fire. The woman who sat beside it turned her face toward me before I dismounted, tracking my approach with senses that had nothing to do with sight.

Her eyes were clouded white.

“You seek knowledge beyond your reach, so you’ve come to me,” she said. “I must warn you, stranger. The answers I provide might not be to your liking.”

“I’ve learned that lesson already.”

A faint smile. “Then perhaps you’re ready to learn more.”

Stoutmantle thought Arugal was dead and buried. Arun knew better. And this woman, sitting blind beside her fire, seemed to see clearest of all.

 

Ruuna has work for Vikstone before she’ll share what she sees. But the blind seer’s visions will have to wait. Amberpine Lodge has pressing needs of its own in Replenishing the Storehouse.
