Description

Do you remember our greeting, <name>?

"Shadows gather when the raven swallows the day."

It is more than an old verse - it is a call to action. Followers of the old ways are gathering, and I must join them. You are needed, too, I should think^[sic]

Follow this road down to Crow's Crook. There you will find the home of an old crone. Greet her as you greeted me, and she will guide the way.

You will not see me, but I will be close behind.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 13 80
• 14500 XP
• +250 reputation with Arakkoa Outcasts

Progress

You would be wise to turn back, traveler.

Completion

I will point you in the right direction, but I cannot guarantee you'll survive the trip!

Kah-hah haha!

Notes

Cross the bridge. On the other side, is rare winged arakkoa Blade-Dancer Aeryx. Kill Rukhmar's Talon for the  [Skyreach Decree] and 20-30 [Garrison Resources]. Keep heading downhill to the south to find rare bat Eyeless. Kill the bat for ... and 10-20 more Garrison Resources, then head south into Crow's Crook to pick pick up the flight path and turn in to Ornekka.

Speak with Ornekka:

What brings you to my door? I have no wares to sell, and no need for vagabonds!

 "Shadows gather..."

Ornekka says: Yes, yes, I understand. I will tell you the way.

Ornekka says: And I see you out there, Reshad! No use hiding from me, darling. Come in, come in!

Reshad uncamouflages and walks up, a bit sheepishly.

Reshad says: Ah... yes, of course. Greetings, Ornekka.

Ornekka says: You too, Percy! That's it... give old Ornekka some sugar.
