No doubt you have noticed our guests.

I have watched them for a time and seen how they are attracted to the tree. I do not know if they are harmful to our sapling, but we cannot take that chance.

Collect a handful of the insects and bring them to me. I will examine them and determine if they are to be left alone.

I cannot get this quest. It is required to enter the two dungeons, but it was never offered to me. I am revered in Suramar and only have the vineyards to take care of but the questgiver is bugged or just won't work. The only quest Valewalker Farondin will give me is for being exalted with the Nightfallen. Am I the only one who can't get attuned because of this? Someone else must have run into this bug.
