Is this quest name a pun? I can't figure it out.

If 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.

It is kinda. There's an old school brutal death metal album called "None so Vile" by the band Cryptopsy. In the metal genre its regarded as one of the best albums from way back then, hell I even own it on vinyl. It's one of my favorites so I knew exactly when I saw the quest name :) Someone at Blizz is a metalhead! \m/

Description

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. I fear that tampering with this Black Blood will threaten far more than the delicate ecosystems of Khaz Algar. We must make sure that they never return to this pit again. Their equipment is still strewn throughout the pit. Destroy as much of it as you can manage.

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.

Friends in Low PlacesAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80
When we crashed, the nerubians were upon us in an instant. We would have lost nearly everyone we brought with us, had someone not intervened. I do not know who--or what--stepped in on our behalf.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Fear the Old BloodAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80
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.
