Who is Gurrin Nitestorm?
A level 50 Human Druid
Gurrin Nitestorm is an NPC who is newer to the surefall glade area, and has much to say, regardless if you're completing a quest with him or not.
He is part of the Silver Blade of Thunder that starts within Jaggedpine Forest, which is an area that can only be reached from the Surefall Glade bear caves. Gurrin is the second to last NPC that you will have to speak with to complete the quest.
If you are not working on this quest, he still has much to say. Upon hailing him, you will get to hear an accounting of why the people of Jaggedpine Forest were locked away from the rest of the world:
You say: 'Hail, Gurrin Nitestorm'
Gurrin Nitestorm says: 'Greetings, traveler. I am Gurrin Nitestorm, priest of The Rainkeeper and blacksmith of the Jaggedpine. I am still somewhat lost in these foreign lands and although my excitement to be reunited with our kin and brethren of the Jaggedpine Tree Folk is very much alive, I cannot help but long for my home. Aaaah, but [duty] calls and I must do what I can aid both forces that equally strive to keep the sacred lands safe from harm and corruption."
You say: 'What duty?'
Gurrin Nitestorm says: 'Beyond my sacred duties as a priest of The Rainkeeper and a warden of nature, my artisan skill as a blacksmith has been found to be of great use in these fledgling days of our reunion. The residents of the glad and the Knights of Thunder have found my skills to be of great use, and furthermore, I have had the distinct pleasure of learning the blessed ways of the Rainkeeper's faithful of Qeynos region. Truly, it has been a remarkable experience and consider myself blessed to have this opportunity to be among my kin. My only regret is that the circumstances under which we have been spurned into this reunification of our culture are not ones of joyous regard -- for the dark shadow of corruption will always find a way to seep through even the strongest of iron [barricades]."
You say: 'Barricades?'
Gurrin Nightstorm says : In the time when Antonius III guided Qeynos politically and morally, he saw the coming of the dawn of turmoil and sought to preserve all he could of his kingdom and people from the inevitable darkness to enshroud Norrath. The residents of the glad and Jaggedpine alike pleaded to his majesty, asking that the sacred lands of The Rainkeeper's faithful be among the lands spared exposure to the coming shadow of corruption. Knowing th eplea of the Jaggedpine Tree Folk to seal themselves indefinitely from their beloved and sacred homeland was not one made lightly or without grievous consideration, his late majesty obliged his subjects' request and a barricade of stone, iron, and magic was constructed on either end of the forest's boundaries."

Gurrin Nitestorm can be found standing behind the ranger guild hall near one of the firepits that reside close to the waterfall of Surefall glade.
