What to do
Description
We must try and make amends. We must commune with the elements of this region and see if anything can be done! I grant you the totem of spirits, {race}. If you slay an enraged elemental spirit in close proximity of the totem, it will consume the elemental's soul. You must use the totem to consume many souls before you may return to me. Do this for the spirits of fire and earth first. Return to me when the totem is full.

- Teron Gorefiend, I am...
With Gorefiend's items restored, there is but one last piece to this puzzle: A host. <The ancient shadowmoon spirit's lips curl up to form a wicked grin.> Surely you did not believe the fairy tale that I told you. The Altar of Shadows is my prison.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Enraged Spirits of Water
The Illidari naga of the region have taken control of the only clean water supply that exists in Shadowmoon Valley. Directly north of here you will find the lair of the naga: Coilskar. Around Coilskar are pockets of agitated water that howl to the land in anguish.
