Description
I'm here because Muradin himself knew that this survey needed someone to keep these buffoons on their toes. They're all too scared of the wildlife to do a thing! If I'm to get them off their duffs, I'm going to need some cleanup done. We've got an elemental problem, first off. The flood did such a number here that the water itself's gone hysterical. I bet you've never slapped the sense into an entire lake before, but I'm askin' it of you now. Whallop those elementals but good for me.
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.

- Sedimentary, My Dear
The destruction of the Stonewrought Dam was no small thing, lad. We're here to find out just how bad the damage is. A mighty load of water's rampaged through here, and if it's disturbed the earth too far, we could be in for worse later on.
