TheWoWDBIf like me you went back down to hand in, the exit (and hand-in) is at the top.
Take a left after getting the quests, and follow path spiriling upwards.

Bloodborne from FromSoftware reference.
Master Willem tells this to his student Lawrence, before he left. Game is heavily by lovecraftian horor - like old gods in WoW.
The motto of Yharnam's Hunters. Nice reference from Bloodborne. The whole adage goes as such:
"We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood.
Our eyes are yet to open. Fear the Old Blood."

Description
This is not exactly the place for a long talk, so I will be brief. These roots you see are part of something much greater than you know, and it is my job to protect them. If it isn't obvious to you already, this place is teeming with writhing Black Blood. If we do not act, it will spread deeper and further still. You want allies? Fine. Help me cleanse this place and protect these roots, and I will at least hear you out.
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.
- For Naught, So Vial
Truthfully, I don't care what the nerubians are plotting. They are not the first upstart people seeking power, and they certainly won't be the last. The problem is how they're going about it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Alone in the Dark
My people do not think that this Black Blood is a threat to our world. It has sat dormant for ages, after all. Why should that change now? But the world is changing more quickly than my people realize. The nerubians' decision to extract the Blood for their own ends is proof of that.
