There is a small island at 72, 20. In the waters to the South East (73,22) there are three wrecked boats on the lake floor. Most of the spirits are around these boats but a few wander in the waters all around the island.

Description

The lake to the north has been haunted by the ghosts of my ancestors for as long as I can remember, {name}. The poor souls were victims of a tragic incident in which scores of them drowned at the bottom of the lake. The details of the event are mostly forgotten, but their haunting cries serve as a constant reminder of their curse. If you're up to the task, I want you to go to the lake and put an end to their suffering, {name}. You will have my gratitude as well as theirs... I'm sure.

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.

  • Shadowpine WeaponryGhostlands · Level 1-30

    <class>, I want you to kill as many Shadowpine trolls as you can. We need their numbers greatly reduced before we can shift our attention toward Deatholme. And while you're at it, we might as well kill two birds with one stone, so bring me back a load of their weapons.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Forgotten RitualsGhostlands · Level 1-30

    Every year we, the denizens of Suncrown Village, would take part in a ritual to keep the different aspects of nature under our control. Dominion over the element of water was symbolized by the summoning and enslavement of an elemental named Aquantion.
