Corrupting Influence?

Corrupting Influence? is an Alliance-only quest for level 7-30 in Ashenvale. It is step 31 of 50 in the Ashenvale, Alliance storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Ashenvale at 36.6, 49.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

As you search through the belongings of the dead furbolg lying before you, a small charm, very obviously created by trolls, spills out onto the ground.

Touching the charm, you immediately get a sense that something is not right about the wood. A feeling of unease, of corruption, permeates the object.

Wrapping it in some spare cloth, you put it in your pack and resolve to show it to Raene Wolfrunner when next you find yourself in Astranaar.
