A Darkened Shard, Part 2

This access quest is part of the Splitpaw Timeline. This is a continuation of the initial access quest for the Splitpaw adventure pack.
This quest scales with the player's level up to lvl 60 (mobs max level is therefore 50).
There is no need to complete the following, third quest of this series (A Darkened Shard, Part 3) to gain direct access to the Splitpaw Den.

Steps

Make your way down to the Splitpaw Den entrance (it is called Lower Tunnels when you examine the zone entrance). See the zone description for Upper Tunnels for details about the route.
You must now gain favor with the gnolls. Once inside Splitpaw Den, you will find several gnolls that offer quests to you in the side rooms off of the center room (the one you enter first). You will gain favor by completing any three of the following five quests:
