Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Plagued CoastGhostlands · Level 1-30

    To find a cure for the plague we need to understand how it affects different creatures, from the most complex life forms to the lowliest subspecies. I've come here to study the murlocs since, like us, they've retained free will in undeath. What makes these lowly mongrels so special?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rotting HeartsGhostlands · Level 1-30

    I hear the Amani trolls eat their enemies' hearts to steal their strength. They might just be on to something, <name>. With the proper treatment, the hearts of the unliving can produce potent elixirs. Hunt down the zombies that roam the Dead Scar and bring me their hearts.
