Latent Disease

Description

I need plagued grass for an... an experiment, of sorts. Those Argent Crusaders and those infernal Cenarion druids have done too good a job of healing the plaguelands, however... and I can't find proper reagents within a reasonable walking distance.

Some of the local wildlife retain the plague's touch, however. Kill a diseased black bear, then retrieve the grass that grows where its decaying body lies. It's not optimal, but it'll do.

    These Alliance forces walk around the Plaguelands like they own the place. Well, they don't! This land rightfully belongs to the Dark Lady! As the battle for Andorhal drew to a close, the Alliance forces occupying the Plaguelands scattered.
