Quests & story
Powering our Defenses
Ancient runestones once powered a protective barrier across the Eversong border. Many were destroyed during Arthas' attack; others were stolen. Of the three that remain, only this one has retained its powers. The runestone to the east might be salvageable, though. Take this crystal and instill its energy on the Eastern Runestone. The process should take but a minute. Beware though, nearby Scourge will be drawn to it and will seek to destroy it. Do not let them!

- Некогда древние рунические камни поддерживали защитный барьер вдоль границ лесов Вечной Песни. Многие из них были уничтожены во время нападения Артаса, а некоторые были похищены. Из трех оставшихся лишь один сохранил прежнюю мощь. Но возможно, тот рунический камень, что на востоке, тоже можно спасти. Вот, возьми этот кристалл и влей его энергию в восточный рунический камень. Это займет не более минуты. Однако берегись: находящиеся поблизости твари Плети попытаются уничтожить камень. Этого нельзя допустить!
