Corrupted Brain Stem
Corrupted Brain Stems are biological specimens harvested from the twisted naga and satyrs inhabiting Blackfathom Deeps and the Ashenvale coastline. Gershala Nightwhisper of Auberdine seeks them to study the physical deformities wrought by reckless magical corruption. By examining these brains, night elf scholars hope to understand and potentially prevent a similar fate from befalling the blood elves.
Anatomy of Transformation
The satyrs and naga of Kalimdor stand as living testaments to the warping power of forbidden magic and demonic pacts. Long ago, reckless kaldorei highborne were irrevocably transformed into serpent-like aquatic beasts and demonic horned fiends. The brain stems harvested from these creatures exhibit heavy physical mutation, providing direct anatomical proof of how deep corruptive energies burrow into the nervous systems of once-elven beings.
Gershala's Warning
In the coastal settlement of Auberdine, the night elf Gershala Nightwhisper observes the troubling rumors surrounding the blood elves of the Eastern Kingdoms. Fearing that their flirtation with demonic sorcery will spawn yet another generation of monsters on Azeroth, Gershala tasks adventurers with venturing into Blackfathom Deeps. By dissecting both naga and satyr tissues, the researcher hopes to map the path of magical degeneration before another elven culture is lost.
