Quest: The Missing Guardians [Lvl 45] [Solo]

This quest is initiated by speaking with Guardian Velyron in the chunk of Ruin Falls(-29, 24) who wanders just outside of Elani.

"There are many dangerous surrounding these lands, and it is our duty to protect Elani and her people."

"Some of our guardians have gone missing, however, after thwarting an advancement attempt b the creatures of the Deadbog to the north."

We're not sure what happened to our kin, but if you could venture into the Deadbog and find our missing soldiers, you will be rewarded."

Return to me once you have completed this task. Let's teach those of the Deadbog a lesson as well."

Quest Objectives:
-Find the 6 missing Elani Guardians
-Kill 9 Deadbog Skullcrackers
-Kill 9 Deadbog Hags
-Kill 5 Deadbog Soothesayers
-Kill 5 Deadbog Maulers

Head to the Deadbog just northeast of Elani and hunt your prey. All of them are scattered about the various islands in the bog and are not too difficult to find. While executing the Deadbog inhabitants, keep a look out for baskets on the walkways of the huts. They will either contain a monster, or a missing guardian. Why keep a prisoner in a basket? Whatever...return to Velyron for your reward. -Kazander

"Have you found our missing guardians yet Kazander?"

"What? That's horrible! You mean to tell me they were being held prisoner as if an offering to the witch of the swamp?"

"If you ever find this swamp witch, slay her and bring her remains to me and you will be very handsomely rewarded."

Quest: Bears of Beranid Downs [Lvl 40] [Solo]

This quest is initiated by speaking with Betsy Gallow in the chunk of Plains of Anguish(-29, 27)located at (-62611, 70629, 35675), in Havens Edge.

"The bears in these lands have never been aggressive towards humans until very recently. When the Cartheon legions unleashed their plague on our lands, they started to turn."

The bears eventually died, but never fully stopped living. They live on as abominations, spread throughout the land. They feed on anthing that lives. They must be stopped."

Quest Objective:
-Slay 25 Undead Bears
-Return to Betsy Gallow

Okay, unfortunately there aren't many Undead bears around, and they seem to eb scattered about. There is always one on the edge of the Summoners Graveyard. But to kill 25 will take you some time. It's best to do this while doing other missions as well and just kill them as you see them. It should be noted that they accept the deaths of the bears from Beranid Downs as well. -Kazander

"Thank you so much, Dark Elf. You have helped us make the lands safer."

I don't have much to offer, but take this coin as your reward.

"You must rid the lands of this threat, Dark Elf! Please, go forth and slay Undead and Revenant Diviners."

Quest Objectives:
-Slay 25 Revenant Diviners
-Return to Betsy Gallow

There are several Revenant Diviners in the area, but most seem to be on the road towards the Brotherhood areas. This may take a bit of time as they are few and far between. -Kazander
