Description
The Moonrest Gardens to the southwest were the final resting place of a group of Highborne elves. It was also a ley line nexus. The blue dragonflight used a magical device they call a surge needle to destroy that nexus, freeing the power to redirect at their will. I want more information and you are going to get it for me! After the land was destroyed at the ruins, the ghosts of the Highborne rose up and decimated half of the mage hunters there. Go rifle their corpses for clues.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Victory Nears...
There remain only two primary threats that stand in our way. One is the dread citadel of Naxxramas, far to the east, above the Alliance fortress of Wintergarde and the other is the Pit of Narjun, exit point for the undead armies of Azjol'Nerub.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Prevent the Accord
We need to kill two birds with one stone here, <class>. You're the stone. Our two birds are Wind Trader Mu'fah and Goramosh. They should be somewhere in the western half of the Moonrest Gardens. Most likely they're in the larger two-story building overlooking the pit.
