Quest · Blackfathom Deeps · Level 24

Researching the Corruption

Gershala Nightwhisper in Auberdine seeks corrupted brain stems from the creatures infesting Blackfathom Deeps. Disturbed by reports of the blood elves dabbling in demonic magic across the sea, he hopes to study the physiological descent of the naga and satyr to foresee—and perhaps avert—another catastrophic elven mutation.

Quest text

Foolish blood elves toil with demonic magic. Have they not witnessed what happened with the naga and with the satyrs of Kalimdor?

I fear that the blood elves will meet a similar deformation. Azeroth cannot afford to give birth to another vile race of monsters.

I wish to study the brain stems of the satyr and naga so that I might deduce what fate the elves are headed toward. In Blackfathom Deeps, on the coast of Ashenvale, you will find both satyr and naga.

'Tis a long journey, friend.

Progress

Male narrator 0:18 Female narrator 0:20

Once I have enough samples to study, my true work can begin. With the corrupted brain stems of both the satyr and naga of Blackfathom Deeps I can try to draw a correlation between the mutations.

Perhaps with that gained knowledge we can prevent the blood elves from delving deeper into deformity and evil.

Your actions have been selfless. 'Tis for the good of all Azeroth that you help me with my research. I thank you, friend, for all that you have done.

Now if you'll excuse me I have much work to do....
