Description
The stem, leaves, and petals are dazzling, to be certain... but look at the pollination filaments, here, and the reproductive organs in the center of the bloom. They contain more energy than the rest of the plant put together. I suspect that we can more responsibly and efficiently harvest aethril by focusing on these parts. Still, it looks like this bloom has been damaged. I need undamaged parts if I'm to be sure.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Aethril Sample
This herb has clearly been absorbing magical energy from the land. Filaments of ley energy course from root to leaf. Your herbalism trainer in Dalaran will want to see this.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ragged Strips of Silk
Finely made strips of clothing, torn, tattered, and dirty: telltale signs of the withered. The feral, degenerate outcasts of nightborne society must also be harvesting the aethril... but why?
The storyline at a glance
Legion Herbalism has 5 steps, from Aethril Sample to A Slip of the Hand.
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
