Upon acceptance:

Tarenar Sunstrike says: Kill them. Kill them all.

Little dark there, eh, paladin?

As it turns out, his feelings are understandable, once you see what the botani have been doing with all the draenei and Alliance they've been killing:

SpoilerThey've been piling them up in their water pools to use as fertilizer. (Screenshots submitted.)

Companion quests - Poison Paralysis, Blademoon Bloom, and Forever Young.

Description

Gidwin is doing much better. Thank you, {name}. I can't believe the draenei have lived alongside those horrible monsters for so long. Maybe we should show these beasts what happens when you mess with an Azerothian.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Forever YoungShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    All this sitting around is horrible for business. I have to find a way to recoup some of my lost profits. Those Draenei females are obsessed with the way their horns look. I overheard one of them talking about a root that grows in Blademoon Bloom that supposedly reduces horn shedding or something.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Poison ParalysisShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    There are others from the caravan that have gone missing. My guess is they have been taken into Blademoon Bloom by the botani. You have to rescue them, <name>. You are our only hope. Here, take some of this elixir I just made, chances are you will need it.

The storyline at a glance

Botani In Bloom has 6 steps, from Cooking With Unstable Herbs to Gestating Genesaur.
