Druid Epic Question

[Tpar]

I am beginning my druid epic. I am a hafling, a worshiper of Karana, level 53.
I tried to talk to Telin Darkforest in Burning Woods. He told me "I cannot impart that knowledge to you yet", or something similar. I have never killed druids, treants, Holly Windstalker, or the Millers in Qeynos. I've turned in countless muffins to raise my faction. Any suggestions on raising faction and/or getting him to talk to me and give me the worn note to start the quest?
