Quest · Westfall · Level 20

The Coastal Menace

Captain Grayson's restless ghost watches the rocky coast of Westfall, haunted by the memory of the shipwreck that took his life and the slaughter of the lighthouse keeper's family. He charges travelers with hunting down the vicious murloc chieftain responsible: Old Murk-Eye. Slaying the beast brings a measure of justice to the shore and helps safeguard future sailors.

When my life was ended upon the rocks, I had no clue what the afterlife held for me. The Lighthouse was black that night because Old Murk-Eye had scared the keeper's family off. They returned and re-lit the flame but Old Murk-Eye coerced the weaker minded murlocs to raid the Lighthouse with him once again. The second time the family was not so lucky and before my eyes they perished helplessly.

Slay Old Murk-Eye if you see him along the shore and bring me one of his scales and I shall reward you.

So the foul heathen, Murk-Eye is dead. Well done, friend. By your hands one life was laid to rest but perhaps many more were saved. The Great Sea, wrought with danger as it is, shall be a wee bit safer this night thanks to your heroics.
