Description

This is bad. A genesaur is starting to sprout right here in the bloom.

This is the first reported case of a genesaur being born in draenor in over three hundred years.

No wonder the botani have been acting so crazy. They are bringing back bodies to fertilize that monstrosity.

We have to kill it before it gets any larger. Once fully grown there is no stopping that beast.

If you are trying to get [follower=180], then Crippled Caravan (started at the Draakorium) will lead you right to her caravan and allow you to start her main quest-line. She will eventually give you the quest to use the potion you made with her: Poison Paralysis. Upon finishing the potion and receiving that quest you open up 3 other quests, including the one from Rangari Arepheon (Blademoon Bloom). All 4 quests are in the same location. After completing Gestating Genesaur, return to Fiona and turn in all the quests. You will THEN receive the quest: Fiona. Take that, turn it in, and done!
