They look so pathetic in their long line stretching to the horizon, and it's mostly just little helpless tadpoles!
I have hit this quest on a few characters now, and each time I have dinged 58 mid-quest. Rather then go rushing through the Dark Portal, I have to see this questline through. I just feel so awful for my little murloc buddies.

What to do
Description
<Though his lips do not move, you can feel the murloc chief speaking to you.> The Bloodwash naga and the Rockpool murloc have lived among one another for as long as we could remember. We have always had our differences, but never provoked one another. Why, then, would they turn on us? <Neptool looks over his shoulder at his former villagers.> You see what they do now? They enslave us, sacrifice us, force us to fight one another. I will stop them, {race}... and you will be my weapon.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- You Are Rakh'likh, Demon
Hero, listen well. First, we must travel to the Deathly Usher, who waits at the northern foot of the Rise of the Defiler, to our northeast. The usher will take us to the top of the rise. Once there, I need you to help me defeat Razelikh, for I fear that I am not strong enough to defeat him alone.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- False Idols
Neptulon the Tidehunter is our god. He was the god of the Bloodwash, too, but they have turned their back on him, it seems. They now choose to worship only Azshara, their naga queen. You will see likenesses of Azshara littered around their settlements, carved out of seastone.
