Quest text on this one should really read "Hey, turn around and go into that green moonwell behind you and fill this thing up for me". Seemed like my map marker was off a bit and made me think the moonwell was actually in Shadow Hold.

Don't be dumb like me. DO NOT ENTER THE LOOONG CAVE! The well is the green well behind you, then you'll get the quest chain to enter the cave.
You want to complete this quest and Purity from CorruptionForces of Jaedenaer and turn them in while "in the field" before going into Shadow Hold cave.
Then once you go in Shadow Hold, you can complete the next two quests together.

What to do
Description
The flowers you brought me were the essential ingredient. Protective barriers surround Shadow Hold, projected from demonic braziers. If we are to drive the Shadow Council from Felwood, then those braziers must be extinguished. This vial has been infused with crying violet and the magic of the wilds. Fill it at the corrupted moonwell in the center of Jaedenar and return to me.
