Quest text

Hail, young your race. I am Elissa Starbreeze, and it is my charge to protect Auberdine from harm.

To this end, I sent Balthule Shadowstrike to observe the strange happenings around the Tower of Althalaxx to the northeast.

It is past time that he should have returned. I worry that he has encountered some unforeseen danger in the forest. I would be most appreciative if you would find him and see that he is doing well.
