go scour the roads of Nagrand until you find three Murkbloods riding around on elekks. Kill them and get the Murkblood Invasion Plans. That will start the quest Murkblood Invaders and lead you to its followup, Ortor My Old Friend

If you're looking to complete the zone achievement, know that you also need 'The Totem of Kar'dash' for 'The Murkblood' part of it. It's easy to overlook. In a hut in the village (found mine at 33,42) there is a kurenai captive with two brutes. Kill the brutes, and he'll offer you an escort quest. If this is the last one you need, you'll get the achievement as soon as he's safe. You don't even need to turn in the quest.

What to do

StorylineNagrand, step 10 of 94

Description

These invasion plans were written by someone I once knew. Ortor of Murkblood, once a noble Broken, versed in the way of the elements, now a muck addled yes-man of Musel'ek the bog lord. The plans state that they have taken over an orc village northwest of here known as Sunspring. Travel to Sunspring Post and rid the world of Ortor of Murkblood. What you do, you do for the good of us all...

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.

  • Murkblood InvadersNagrand · Level 15-30

    The parchment holds a crudely painted map of Nagrand. There is a big red 'X' where Telaar would be on the map. It would seem that these savages are planning an attack on the city. Take the Murkblood invasion plans to Arechron in Telaar.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Totem of Kar'dashNagrand · Level 15-30

    I would have been killed had you not come along, stranger. They have already murdered so many Kurenai in their search for a lost relic. What they seek is the totem of Kar'dash. Why they think that we would know anything about this totem, I cannot understand.
