“There are those of this world that tap into power unrestricted by the bounds of our mortal frames – powers of restoration, powers of life, and powers of light. And Bridenbrad, this is no ordinary man… his valor and devotion shine through. We can only hope that one of these beings will intervene and bring this hero back from a fate worse than death.
Go now and speak to Arch Druid Lilliandra in the Argent Vanguard… request passage to Moonglade and seek the aid of Keeper Remulos.”
-Highlord Tirion Fordring

Quest Giver: Highlord Tirion Fordring — Crusaders’ Pinnacle, Icecrown
Objective: Secure passage from Arch Druid Lilliandra at the Argent Vanguard and speak to Keeper Remulos in Moonglade.
Quick Facts
Walkthrough
Tirion sends you to seek aid from beings whose power extends beyond mortal limits. His first thought is Keeper Remulos, a son of the demigod Cenarius and guardian of Moonglade.
Step 1: Fly south to the Argent Vanguard [87, 77] and speak with Arch Druid Lilliandra. She is standing in the camp area near the tents. When you speak with her, she opens a portal to Moonglade.
Step 2: Walk into the green portal. You will arrive at the Shrine of Remulos in Moonglade [37, 43]. Speak with Keeper Remulos to complete the quest.
Remulos acknowledges Tirion’s request and agrees to help, but warns that the task is not simple. He says the Scourge’s corruption is not of this world, and many have failed trying to strip it over the years. This caution foreshadows the chain’s recurring theme: each attempt to save Bridenbrad will fall short.

Keeper Remulos
Keeper Remulos is one of the sons of Cenarius, the demigod of the wilds. Remulos has served as the guardian of Moonglade and protector of the Emerald Dream for millennia. He is one of the oldest and most powerful nature guardians on Azeroth.
If you played through Classic WoW, you may remember Remulos from the Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline, where he played a central role in the events involving the green dragon Eranikus and the corruption of the Emerald Dream.
Why Remulos First?
Remulos represents nature magic: the primal power of growth, renewal, and the cycle of life. It is the most intuitive remedy for a plague that corrupts the body. When nature magic proves insufficient, the chain escalates to Alexstrasza (the Life-Binder, a Dragon Aspect whose domain is life itself), and finally to A’dal (a being of pure Holy Light, operating on a cosmic level).
The progression from druidic magic to draconic power to Naaru radiance mirrors a real-world pattern of seeking increasingly specialized care.
Remulos’s Warning
Remulos does not promise to cure Bridenbrad. He says he trusts in Tirion’s judgment, and that he will “see what we can do.” He adds that many have failed to strip Scourge corruption over the years, then ends on the line the whole chain turns on: “In a being of nobility and light, all is not without hope.”
This measured response sets the tone for the entire chain: each powerful being agrees to try, offers genuine hope, and ultimately cannot fully succeed.

Vikstone's War Journal“There are those of this world that tap into power unrestricted by the bounds of our mortal frames,” Tirion said. “Powers of restoration, powers of life, and powers of light. And Bridenbrad — this is no ordinary man. His valor and devotion shine through. We can only hope that one of these beings will intervene and bring this hero back from a fate worse than death.”
A fate worse than death. I have lived inside it for a year. It has Namarie’s face, and it screams in her voice, and there is nothing of her in it.
The passage was Arch Druid Lilliandra’s to give, and I found her in the Vanguard infirmary, among Gustav’s poisoned men. She heard the errand and raised the portal right there, a standing ring of green light in a room that smelled of sickness and boiled linen.
“Go with Elune’s blessing,” she said.
It has been a long time since anyone spoke the goddess’s name over me. I stepped through before it could finish landing.
The cold was gone. Moonglade came up around me in a green I had half stopped believing in. Living earth, old leaves, wind moving through canopy instead of over stone. Sholazar was green too, and it never once smelled like this. That was the titans’ garden. This is ours.
Remulos waited at his shrine beneath the trees. Son of Cenarius. The keepers walked our forests before the Sundering, when the world was still one piece. He stands taller than any night elf living, a great stag below the waist, and above it a torso like one of us carved from living wood. One hand is flesh. The other was never made at all, growing root and talon.
“Hello, child,” he said. “I understand Tirion’s request and trust in his judgment. We will see what we can do for this Crusader Bridenbrad.”
He continued.
“What you ask is no simple task. The Scourge are not of this world, and many have failed in attempting to strip their corruption over the years.” Then he said, “In a being of nobility and light, all is not without hope.”
All is not without hope. From the son of a demigod, that is not a kindness.
If the Scourge’s grip can be broken at all, then I did not finish the thought.
But it came back through the portal with me, into the cold, and it has not gone out.
Remulos would not work the cure from Moonglade, because what he needed grew on the far side of a door only he could open, and he sent Vikstone through it looking for Hope Within the Emerald Nightmare.
