Spawn of the Twisted Glade

Quest Giver: Lurielle — Frozen Glade, Howling Fjord [61, 22]

Objective: Kill 10 Thornvine Creepers in the Twisted Glade.

Walkthrough

• Travel northwest from the Frozen Glade to the Twisted Glade at approximately [53, 17].
• Kill 10 Thornvine Creepers. They’re plant-like creatures found throughout the glade among the trees, stones, and the central pool. Straightforward kills, no special mechanics.
• Do this simultaneously with Seeds of the Blacksouled Keepers. That quest requires you to kill Spores in the same area and then use the Enchanted Ice Core on their corpses to freeze them (8 required). Both objectives overlap in the same location.
• Return to Lurielle at [61, 22] to turn in.

Efficiency Tips

• The Twisted Glade is the final combat area in this chain. After turning in both quests, Lurielle offers the chain finale: Keeper Witherleaf, a single named kill at [53, 19] back in the Twisted Glade. If you’ve cleared thoroughly, you may still be close enough to grab him immediately.
• If also working on The Book of Runes from the Explorer’s League chain, Giant’s Run is directly east of the Twisted Glade. It’s recommended to hit both areas in sequence to minimize backtracking.

Lore Context

• The Twisted Glade represents the final stage of corruption. In the Vibrant Glade, the frost nymph sisters were driven mad but could be saved with Lurielle’s Pendant. Here in the Twisted Glade, the sisters are dead. Lurielle’s quest text makes this explicit: “Clear the glade of these creatures who murdered our sisters.”
• The Thornvine Creepers and the corrupted keepers (targets of the paired quest) are what moved in after the corruption consumed the glade. The keepers referenced are former “keepers of the glade” who once worked alongside the nymphs to maintain it, now twisted into something hostile.
• On turn-in, Lurielle’s regret deepens: “If we’d had allies like you when the land first began to change, perhaps we might have been able to preserve some of what we’ve lost.”
