Description
The aggression of the Winterfall furbolg has to have its source somewhere. I'd like to get to the bottom of it if I can! I've seen the furbolg in the camps to the north brewing something in a cauldron. They seemed very protective of it... if whatever they're cooking up is what's causing this, I must examine it myself. Find that cauldron if it's still there, and bring me back what's inside!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Threat of the Winterfall
I came to Winterspring to investigate the Frostfire Hot Springs. I've noticed that the water seems to have... strange qualities. I haven't yet been able to discover the source, and to tell you the truth, I've had some difficulty lately, due to the Winterfall furbolg.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mystery Goo
The greenish substance inside the cauldron is putrid and viscous. No matter what it is, it doesn't seem to be good. It would be best to report back to Donova with your findings, along with a sample of the liquid in the cauldron.
