You will also receive:

You have arrived just in time, <name>.

On accept: Princess Tess Greymane says: <Name>, I have asked my mother and father to speak with me of our kingdom's future. As a hero of Gilneas, I would have you join us.; Princess Tess Greymane says: Meet me in the garden of Stormwind Keep. We have... important matters to discuss.

Approaching the Greymanes in the garden: Genn Greymane yells: Absolutely not! I forbid you to take such an action!; Princess Tess Greymane says: If I am to one day lead our people, then I must understand their hardship. This is the only way.

Upon completion: Princess Tess Greymane says: Father, you have borne the worgen curse for many years, and have learned to live with its ferocity. To harness it as your own.; Princess Tess Greymane says: So many of our people endure the same burden. How can I hope to lead them unless I share their plight?; Princess Tess Greymane says: If you will not pass the worgen curse onto me... then I will ask our champion instead.; Genn Greymane says: You know not what you ask. To be forever torn between rage and reason. To fear for your loved ones whenever they are near.; Mia Greymane says: Tess, becoming a worgen is a choice that cannot be undone. But there might be another way to gain the understanding you seek.
