Umbranse is standing in a shack in a small valley. He's near Chal Sanftwind, a Wintersaber Trainer. Chal is hostile to the Horde, but will not attack unless you attack first, so it's safe to talk to Umbranse.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##TheOnyx##DELIM##

Kommentar von nalanthus

Just on a hunch, I died nearby and attempted to speak to Umbranse as a ghost...he *is* a spiritspeaker after all... but, no luck there either.

Kommentar von anathor

Umbra means shadow in Latin, and by extension shade, especially shade of the dead. It is widely used in mythology and afterwards in Role-Playing Games (Umbra is e.g. the name of the spirit world in White Wolf's World of Darkness line of games).

See the first meaning of Umbra, leading to the word Shade in mythology.

Edit: downrated? uh?

After speaking to Umbranse the Spiritspeaker in Winterspring to complete "In Eranikus' Own Words",
I thought maybe the quest line was not completed yet so I asked a GM and this is the response I got.

"Greetings!

Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department.

After some research, it has been determined that the quest which you reported is
not considered to be "broken." Unfortunately, Game Masters are unable to
provide hints regarding how to complete this quest. However, the best sources
of the type of information you are looking for are generally your fellow players
and our forums (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/).

We are also pleased to offer the World of Warcraft Knowledge Base at
(http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowgm/)."

So what do we do now? Anyone now? I'm just spending all sorts of time killing everything in Winterspring and have found nothing yet.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He actually says that he can help, but he is too old and too weak. That we need to find help for him to be able to do it.

Not sure who will help him, but it would have been nice to at least get a Quest "Find Help for Umbranse" or something like that.

Kommentar von Thottbot

gregor greystone doesn't give me a quest. is there a required argent dawn reputation level? mine is honored.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I don't think the quest to go to Eastern Plaguelands is part of this chain - it just happens to mention the same person. I got offered the quest to see the Duke before I handed in 'In Eranikus' Own Words' - a quest I regret taking, as I lost a perfecttly good trinket.

Oh well - lessons learned...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well i finally got a GM to answer this quest is unfinished they will add to the chain later but when they dont know. DAMN blizzard

Kommentar von Thottbot

northeast of moon horror den, and north of winterfall village, up in the hills, on the eastern cliffs, in a wooden hut; 2 npcs reside here, Umbranse and the wintersaber trainer

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just spoke to Umbranse, and he states that he can't help us yet. He also mentions someone who is not limited by old age issues, and that Umbranse's strongest Augury tool was stolen from him. It seems to me we need to find his Augury, probably stolen by an undead boss, and return it to him.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Those who were around during the opening of Ahn'Quiraj will realise that Eranikus' spiriti returns during that event, so clearly that's the only follow-up this quest's going to get. If you don't get it, ask an older player.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok this is what the guys says word for word.

Itharius was wise to send you to me.
While he is not dead as you understand death,Eranikus will soon give us advice in his own words.
For now though,I cannot directly help you...at least not yet.

I will lend my skill at death-speaking to you, but first i need the help of one who -unlike me - is not limited by the fralities of old age.
My most potent augury my will, and unless i have it back we will be at loss to help Eranikus.

Thats all i got, i hope it helps if someone knows what to do please post something.

Kommentar von Thottbot

if umbranse asks you to look for someone who is not limited by old age, looking in the world of warcraft library (www.wow-europe.com) only 2 kinds got immortality (=not limited by age) which are:
1: the night elves who lost their immortality at the great sundering or close to that event.
2: dragons, which are said that they stop growing at adulthood and will never die until killed.

Kommentar von Thottbot

According to WoWwiki.com, this quest is not finished yet. Blizzard has stated that it will be finished at a later time. I personally think that it has been moved to a back burner, or abandoned completely; since Blizzard has been concentrating more on the upcoming expansion than anything else. Perhaps after they release the expansion this quest line will be finished in a later patch, but I really don't look for it. Remember the missing diplomat quest line? It has the same abrupt ending, and has yet to be finished that I know of.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The green dragon flight were protectors of the emerald dream. Well i figure that when the emerald dream instance comes out there will be new faction The Green Dragon Flight. Well Eranikus is a green dragon so i figure this quest will be finished later on to allow us to get rep with the green dragon flight.

Kommentar von Thottbot

does anyone know if the questline was finished with Burning Crusade?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just finished this quest post-TBC release, same problem still abruptly ends for no reason.

Kommentar von Thottbot

What do you do if you have disenchanted it?
Foolish mistake :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

god i cant believe i gave up the trinket for nothing, i went to everlook after i spoke w the turn in guy, and tried to speak with grey whatever his name is and nothing he doesnt even give me the message that was posted above, this sucks major arse!

Kommentar von Thottbot

/sigh.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok i think i know what supposed to happen. you do this whole chain and whatever and it stops.

then some dude said somethinga about gregor whatver his name is .

greg gives you a quest to go see duke whats his name.

if you ahve don this chain BEFORE you go to duke whatshisname he says somethhing about umbranse. so duke whatever is involed.

unfortunately i can verify this because i did greg's quest befoer this chain

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok heres the quest text for gregor and duke nich

GREGOR GREYSTONE:
A recluse medium found in these parts by the name of Umbranse has provided the Argent Dawn with quite a literary masterpiece... one that amounts to quite possibly the largest collection of jibber-jabber I've ever seen written.

One of the Dawn's most respected leaders, Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff, is a brilliant linguist. Could you take this to him for me - for a reward, of course? Light's Hope Chapel - that's where he's currently at, far in the eastern part of the Eastern Plaguelands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff:
This... this is a very special book you have brought me. I'd like to tell you that "special" in this case means "unique and quite possibly illuminating", but that remains to be seen.

"Ooooooo?" Who in their right mind thinks this up?

Well now, I've heard of this Umbranse that Gregor spoke of, so this isn't without merit. I'll do my best to decipher it. As for you... please, have this - courtesy of the Argent Dawn. While you are here, perhaps there are some other things you can aid us with.

Kommentar von Thottbot

first up, there is a 5 piece set, listed on this site even, called the augurs' thisses and thats...

anyone actually gotten the whole thing, from AQ i think it is, and tried talking to him then?

what about anything else itemwise from the different augurs in game... i seem to remmeber a whole group of undeads(race not mobs) devoted to the speaking to and raising of the dead and undead...

could it be a lead in to that or a pvp thing perhaps?

no i dont pvp if i can help it, and yes i do have characters on both sides of the fence... though i have yet to get above 40 on hordeside >.>

as a reason for hope, look at things like the band of nolkai.... two months or so of people bugging GM's and asking what this white item was for, and they greyed out said item in a patch...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Wait till we're allowed into the Emerald Dream.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just want a new trinket to add to my collection... i hate it that Blizz made the damn quest incomplete, and i want some answers as to where i complete the chain!

Its freakin annoying when u have a quest sitting in your logue for 21 lvls, and then u cant even complete it...

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have a idea... maybe when Gregor or whatever his name is gives you the book and says Umbranse supplied it, they meant it was stolen, and if you give it to him rather then the Duke, he can continue the quest line!

Haven't had a chance to try this out yet, when I do I'll report post if my theory is true or not.

Kommentar von Thottbot

1:Got the stone from Uranikus.

2:Used it a few times before realizing I was toying with the fate of a marionetts soul.

3:Went to Itharius's cave.

4:Spoke to Umbranse in winterspring.

Here's the thing. Umbranse told me that an Ugary had been taken from him against his will. Declined to aid me "At least directly", then told me he would lend me his death-speaking talents some other time. He did not tell me anything about the plaguelands.
My question is. Has anyone found an Ugary that begins a quest? Possibly a book? Try turning that in to dippy (Umbranse).
By the way. Once you complete that section of the quest there is no log for it anymore, so read carefully.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I spoke to the guy in cave
Spoke to spirit speaker

im gonna try guy in plauglands but i dout it since all u people said it ddint work This *!@#en unfinished quest pisses me off tho i hope they finish it and give some ownage trinket like purified essence of eranicus or somthin

Cobenn
Pally
Aman'thul sever

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well, I tried getting the quest from the Argent Dawn guy so that I had Umbranse's book before I went to speak to him. After I finished the first quest, he won't talk to me again. I even had his damn book, HIS BOOK! I believe this quest is still broken, IT SUCKS ASS!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Im thinking this , book stolen from the dude - we need to start checking libraries, maybe theres a story somewhere we overlooked. Maybe there is an an end with an uber prize and blizz wants to see who can figure it out?
Who knows - happy hunting.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For those of you who may not know this already, this, im guessing, is incomplete because of a scrapped end game instance, the emerald dream.

The emerald dream was going to be a rather large instance, but Blizzard stopped working on it at one point, and started working on the Burning Crusade expansion.

The Emerald dream instance was well hidden, (not those closed portals around azeroth) it was found in some mountain with green smoke flares that had a river under one of the flares with the instance that could be accessed with a certain macro that caused lag. (now nerfed)

Blizzard, supposively is now working on redisigning the Emerald Dream to be more than just a rather large instance, and will likely come out as a third expansion after WotLK expansion.

For those of you who want to view the old, unfinished emerald dream, look for it on youtube.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After visiting the spiritspeaker the quest ends?
Would have imagined something to do with the upper part of the sunken temple

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just patched 1.10 and no fix to questline

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Here is some info I think not many people are aware of. There is another quest, not directly part of this chain, but related to the storyline.

Gregor Greystone, an AD member in Everlook gives a quest called "Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff."

The text for that quest reads:

"Deliver the book, "Studies in Spirit Speaking", to Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff at Light's Hope Chapel, Eastern Plaguelands.

A recluse medium found in these parts by the name of Umbranse has provided the Argent Dawn with quite a literary masterpiece... one that amounts to quite possibly the largest collection of jibber-jabber I've ever seen written.

One of the Dawn's most respected leaders, Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff, is a brilliant linguist. Could you take this to him for me - for a reward, of course? Light's Hope Chapel - that's where he's currently at, far in the eastern part of the Eastern Plaguelands. "

So the 4 members of the AD in Everlook apparently stole the book from Umbranse and had us deliver it to the AD leader in LHC-EPL. So I presume you have to have completed both those quests, and the quest they add will be given by Umbranse to steal the book back from the AD headquarters in EPL, and bring it to him so that he may communicate with whomever he needs to save Eranikus, and thus the story will continue.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just did this quest in the post-1.7 time, there is no new part to it.

The patch notes indicate that the addition is to the avatar quest chain, not this one. So still a broken chain, or not really broken, just abruptly stops.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I WANT THIS TO CONTINUE! Lets help Eranikus!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

November 4, 2006, and still no next step to this quest. Now they've got me curious!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It took a lil more looking than I tend to appreciate, but I finally found this guy in a little shack behind a night elf in those mountains. His coords were 67, 27, but at first it just looks like a shack w/ a night elf in front of it. The night elf is Chal Fairwind and is apparently the wintersaber trainer. This was found on the Khadgar server tonight after patch 2.0.5.6347 or the second patch after Burning Crusade.

*Erissicyl -- 54 Undead Warror -- Protection Spec -- <Fortius Quo Fidelius>*

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I hope this quest will continue somehow, maybe a world drop item will send us again to this guy :(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

um just did this quest and still no continue :s and we're in 1.8 now so.. any ideas guyz? :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Fürst Nicholas Zverenhoff is the only other thing that speaks of him.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

20/12/06, Post patch 2.0.1 - No follow up quest

Kommentar von Allakhazam

eh, wish I would have read up on this further.. Lost my trinket, didn't even level, spent more time flying around than doing anything actually worthwhile. >.<

Hopefully this turns into something, instead of just randomly stopping.

If it is fixed, could someone please let me know wth I'm supposed to do? lmao

Kommentar von Allakhazam

11 january - still nothing

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He's at 67.27

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well, this has intrigued me no end and i dont think it's a dead end quest.
The fact the orignal quest giver Itharius has been made from a bog standard Nelf into a pretty boy Belf makes me think otherwise.

After spending hours of forum trolling this quest and doing a bit of research on wow history library thing i've come to the conclusion its all about dead people, demons and an evil prophet. would have to be an evil one having stolen the device in the first place.

Umbranase says 'will lend you my skill at death - speaking to you, but first I need the help of one who - unlike me - is not limited by the frailties of old age. My most potent augury device has been taken away from me against my will, and unless I have it back we will be at a loss to help Eranikus."

Argury = The art or practice of foretelling events; divination
...and we know that Umbranase is a medium who speaks for the dead.

As all seems lost why dont we try to search out a dead npc? using an Extra-Dimensional Ghost Revealer

There is an NPC in IF called Daliana and she's evil i've decided. Prior to getting the 0.5 tier armour upgrade there are a series of quests from her
A Supernatural Device Ein übernatürlicher Apparat she is desperate to speak to a dead npc so let the chain begin!

Tanaris
Der Ektoplasmadestillierer to this:
Ektoplasmajagd it make you wonder? - for this part of the q you need to travel to winterspring where our mystery Medium resides, EPL where there is undead and Silithus where there is an evil prophet)

then this
Eine portable Energiequelle back to Winterspring for this Ein verschlagener Händler the Device is made go back to Daliana you can complete the series if you like, including the 45 min baron run etc but i just want to get my mits on Extra-Dimensional Ghost Revealer to search out dead Nelf NPCs and if she asks for it back... don't do it please not until we have more clues on the questline anyhow :D

Hope this gives you some hope and a bit more enthusiam to continue the search !

i think i'll start my search in EPL and WPL - evil dead things there... not sure why but i will lol might be worth looking in Winterspring too and maybe even back to good old Sunken temple.

Blizzard we will not be defeated mwahahaaaa..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Still a dead end quest after the expansion.

Maybe it's something you need the Xpac for.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Patch 1.12 and he still stops at needing to get this thing back. Argh...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He says something about " His most important augury device" what the heck is he talking about?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just completed 12/22/06. Still a dead end quest. No Followup :/
