Description
You now know Niuzao's secret. We are not only the wardens of this temple... we were the wardens of the Sha of Fear that was buried beneath it. The Sha itself may have escaped... but it left traces behind. If you're truly going down into the catacombs, you should eliminate those traces, before they escape and cause greater problems than those we already face.

- Better Off Dread
It's time we go to the source, <name>! Shado-Pan marksmen keep a constant watch over the Dread Wastes from the top of the Serpent's Spine. They would surely welcome the aid of a skilled <class> such as yourself. Seek out Bowmistress Li atop the Serpent's Spine on the border of Dread Wastes.
