Description[]

I sense a powerful dark presence here, <name>, but it is not of Xavius. This feels too familiar.

I sense a druid's touch here, a druid twisted by the shadow of the Nightmare.

We must deal with this threat if we are to find Xavius. I will take to the skies and lend you my aid.

Find this corrupted druid and cut down his tainted and twisted plants.

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:
	[Nightvale Mantle]			[Sablehide Shoulders]
	[Thornbrace Spaulders]			[Rooksguard Pauldrons]

You will also receive: 19 40

Completion[]

Know this, <name>. You did the only thing you could.

When a mortal has become corrupted by the nightmare, there is no return. Only death will set them free.

Gains[]

Notes[]

Once you have dealt with Lyrathos, leave Darkgrove Cavern and head south to find Ysera.

Quest accept: Ysera says: I must take to the sky. Embrace the power I have given you.; Ysera flies off to the airspace above Moonrest.

Moonrest: As you cross the bridge in front of you to enter Moonrest, you see a corrupted druid.; Lyrathos Darkgrove says: Xavius is the master of this forest now, <class>. To enter is to succumb to the Nightmare.; He vanishes.

While you are in the area, Lyrathos will yell various taunts.

Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: I live to serve Xavius!
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: I will spread the Nightmare to every mountain and valley!
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: Nothing can withstand the might of Xavius.
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: My power will destroy this pathetic land!
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: Rise! Grow! Take this forest!
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: How do you think you will fare against the might of Xavius?
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: Cut me down and I will grow anew!
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: I grow tired of you.
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: You cannot hope to stop me.
Lyrathos Darkgrove yells: The Nightmare will consume all of you!
