TheWoWDBIf you go into Lake Sunspring right off the coast of the village, there are about 7 or 8 corpses floating in the water. This makes the quest very easy (around 33, 47).

Melia's Lustrous Crown, Warcaster's Scaled Leggings, Murkblood Avenger's Chestplate, 4,100 XPDescription
I have just gotten word of a catastrophe of epic proportions, {name}. The foul Murkblood have sacked the orc village of Sunspring Post, northwest of here, and murdered its residents. To make matters worse, they have begun dumping the bodies into Sunspring Lake. Should those bodies rot, our primary source of water in the region will be compromised. It's a gruesome task that I give you next but it must be done. Take this enchanted torch and return to Sunspring. Burn all of the rotting orc corpses...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Solving the Problem
The appearance of the Murkblood in Nagrand has had a profound negative impact on our environment. The elementals are all in flux which has, in turn, greatly disturbed the wildlife. Worse yet, the razing of Sunspring Post has reignited the hatred that the orcs held for our people.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Murkblood Invaders
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.
