Dearest Natalia

Description

My dear Natalia has gone missing.

Truth be told, she had been acting strangely for weeks leading up to her disappearance. I had caught her talking to herself when no one was around on more than one occasion. She was adamant that everything was ok and that she must be allowed to continue her research.

She was last seen heading to Bronzebeard's camp to the south.

My soldiers are spread too thin, <name>. I need you to go to Bronzebeard's camp and question those dwarves.

Here is a complete walkthrough I just created for my guild detailing the entire quest chain with pictures. Enjoy...

The quest line starts at Cenarion Hold in Silithus:

http://www.unifiedguild.com/downloads/pics/thecalling_map1.jpg

Talk to Commander Mar'alith and he will give you a quest called �Dearest Natalia�.

http://www.unifiedguild.com/downloads/pics/thecalling1.jpg

Then head south to the Bronzebeard Encampment:

http://www.unifiedguild.com/downloads/pics/thecalling_map2.jpg

Speak with the 2 dwarves there- Frankal Stonebridge and Rutgar Glyphshaper (also make sure you pet the monkey):

http://www.unifiedguild.com/downloads/pics/thecalling2.jpg

They will tell you a big story about how this lady went crazy, which completes the �Dearest Natalia� quest and unlocks 2 other mini-quests which you must also complete.

The names of these quests are �Breaking the Code� which will be given to you by Frankal and �Glyph Chasing� which will be given to you by Rutgar. *Note: Rutgar also hands you a �Geologist's Transcription Kit� which is needed to complete his quest, so if you accidentally delete it just abandon the quest and talk to him again to get a new one.

Now before you start these quests, return to Commander Mar'alith in Cenarion Hold and turn in the �Dearest Natalia� quest. He will give you a new quest called �Into the Maw of Madness�, which you will complete while doing the other 2.

Basically these quests are going to take you into the 3 hives of Silithus (Hive'Ashi, Hive'Zora and Hive'Regal):

http://www.unifiedguild.com/downloads/pics/thecalling_map3.jpg

It doesn�t matter which ones you do first, however I recommend a party of 5 to move through it quickly (although you can still do it fairly easy with 2-3 skilled people).

SUMMARY OF "GLYPH CHASING": In the middle of each hive that is a cave that you need to enter and explore until you find the final room. In this room there will be a small white crystal that you use the �Geologist's Transcription Kit� on to obtain the rubbing. This quest is completed once you obtain a rubbing from each Hive.

SUMMARY OF "BREAKING THE CODE":&nbsp Make sure you check the bodies of each bug you kill on the way to (and from) the final room of each hive. You are looking for a white quest item named �xxx Silithid Brain� (xxx being the name of the hive). It is a random drop so if you haven�t gotten it by the time you finished coming out of the cave then make sure you continue killing bugs until it drops. This quest is completed once you obtain a Silithid Brain from each Hive.

SUMMARY OF "INTO THE MAW OF MADNESS": Inside the final room Hive'Regal you will find a Night Elf priest named Natalia Mar'alithnamed. This quest is completed once you kill her and loot the item from her body.&nbsp (Don�t forget to obtain the rubbing from the crystal in that room).

Once you complete all 3 quests return to Commander Mar'alith in Cenarion Hold and turn in �Into the Maw of Madness�. Then return to the dwarves in Bronzebeard Encampment and turn in �Breaking the Code� to Frankal and �Glyph Chasing� to Rutgar.

At this point Rutgar will give you another quest named � Unraveling the Mystery�. This quest is simple, just take the �Glyphed Crystal Prism� that he gives you to Geologist Larksbane in Cenarion Hold:

http://www.unifiedguild.com/downloads/pics/thecalling3.jpg

She will then give you the final quest named �The Calling�!

At this point you will need a group of 25-40 people to kill the Emissary Roman�khan. If your guild is already raiding AQ-40 then it's prolly easiest to just wait until the next raid night and kill him prior to heading inside. Otherwise have fun spamming the LFG channel.

He is summoned at the Bones of Grakkarond:

http://www.unifiedguild.com/downloads/pics/thecalling_map4.jpg

Once he is dead check his body for loot and then return to Geologist Larksbane in Cenarion Hold. Once you turn in �The Calling� she will give you another quest that you instantly turn in to claim your reward and receive your +25 NR legs!

The questioning proceeds as follows ((SPOILER ALERT!))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rutgar's Questioning
Bronzebeard's gone missing again! That dwarf sure didn't get any of his brother's good senses.

Hello, Rutgar. The Commander has sent me here to gather some information about his missing wife.
You best have a seat then, this is gonna be a long one.

When we initially arrived in Silithus, Mistress Mar'alith was the first of the night elves from Cenarion Hold to join the expedition. Our routine was nothing out of the ordinary: Form a party to venture into the various hives and search for lost artifacts.

That sounds dangerous.
It sure is! Those hives were abuzz with various silithid that were none too happy to see us.

Everything was going fine until we came across a glyphed crystal in Hive'Regal. She was drawn to it like a moth to a flame! She put her pretty little cheek up against the crystal and instantly entered a trance-like state. Naturally, this worried my crew. We picked her up and carried her out of there with a quickness!

What happened to her after that?
We took her to the Commander with hopes that the druids of the Circle could fix her up. Sure enough, they were able to wake her up. We figured our business with the Circle was done and we could get back to work.

A few weeks passed and everything was going fine. Brann was still around back then so we had a bit of order in our work structure. Then one day, out of the blue, she appeared back at our camp.

Natalia?
Are you daft? Who else would I be talking about? Yes, the girl - Mistress Mar-alith. Anyhow, she was back and not in too good of a mood. That's when the demands started flowing.

What demands?
She demanded that we immediately head back to Hive'Regal! Brann would have none of that sass. He told her that there's no way we would go back into those hives without an army backing us up. It had gotten far too dangerous. The number of those stinking insects seemed to have tripled from when we first ventured into 'em.

That's when Natalia lost it!

Lost it? What do you mean?
What do you mean what do I mean? She went nutso! The girl went straight crazy on us. Now ordinarily I don't hit girls but after I recovered from the blackout I was pretty damned angry. Brann, Rutgar, me and the monkey went positively orc on her!* It's a miracle we were able to fend her off. She seemed almost possessed!

Possessed by what?
*Note that Rutgar speaks here as if he is, presumably, Frankal. This is an error in the game text.
Who knows? Anyhow, that was the last I saw of her. Maybe Frankal can give you better information.

Not to steer off topic here as I'm sure the work you're doing for the Commander is important, but we're on to something huge here. HUGE! Our requests to Ironforge for an army have so far fallen on deaf ears. Apparently we're stretched too thin in protecting the realm or some such nonsense. Once you take your report back to the Commander, come back down here with some friends. We need your help!

I'll be back once I straighten this mess out.[/i]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frankal's Questioning
Look up to the heavens, <class>. The Dragonflights have not been seen in this area for a thousand years! Those Qiraji are up to something, I just know it!

Hello, Frankal. I've heard that you might have some information as to the whereabouts of Mistress Natalia Mar'alith.
Oh brother, not this again... Have a seat missy.*

I'm sure Rutgar has told you some of this story already so I'll spare you the boring details and get right down to the nitty gritty.

That's what I like to hear.
* I don't know what he calls a male character here. . . presumably not "missy".
Right then! So the Mistress had come back for a second go at the hives but Brann was having none of that nonsense! Before the melee began, she started talking to something or someone. Crazier still, she started chanting in a language none of us had ever heard.

That's odd.
You're telling me! It's even stranger considering between Brann, Rutgar, me and the monkey, we know 38 different languages including a touch of Titan - both Vanir and Aesir.

So anyway, whatever she was click clacking about, it definitely wasn't with anyone "present." She then nodded and went on the offensive! Attacked us outright!

You couldn't handle a lone night elf priestess?
Listen missy, I'll have you know that whatever attacked us was no priestess of nothin'! Her eyes were aglow with something evil and she was genuinely frothing at the mouth! She came in, did some kind of crazy scream that sent us all runnin' in separate directions then started flayin' our minds one by one. I'd be hearin' shadowy words in my head, watchin' the other's periodically black out here and there. It was madness! We would have been done for if not for the damned monkey.

I've been meaning to ask out about that monkey.
What's there to ask? He's a monkey you crazy fool. Anyhow, so yea, the monkey went into a frenzy after seein' ol' Brann flop into the sand face first. Nothin' the night elf could do was stopping Glibb here from poundin' on her noggin.

Then what?
I'll tell you 'then what.' She went runnin' straight for the hive. And you know what's crazier? Not a single damned bug got in her way or tried to stop her. She ran through them all as if she'd been best friends with 'em for centuries.

What a story! So she went into Hive'Regal and that was the last you saw of her?
Yep.

Thanks for the information, Frankal.

Really easy quest, just go down to 41,88 and talk to both Frank and Rutgar. Run through a small conversation, then return to Cenarion Hold.

Don't have to kill them.

Also I recieved 6600 XP and instead of 100 rep I got 250 Rep with Cenarion Circle, maybe because I was neutral.

Location 41,88 - very easy to get to and not dangerous. The interviewing of the two characters is time consuming but simple. Then off back to the Hold...

That's a very huge end boss in last quest, you'll need a 40-man raid for that. Fights with nature, so bring potions and aspect of the wild. Larges AOE I've seen too, even at maximum ranged attack range you'll get hit hard. And it gains life & mana by dying raid members...

Very tough one on the end...

Very easy quest. The two dwarves you have to talk to are on their own, no mobs to fight if you stick to the path from Cenarion Hold and then follow south.
