Description

The Cult orders state that the plague from the cauldron at Gahrron's Withering is in fact being used for TWO purposes. The first is the practice of spreading disease through the animals of the plaguelands, which you already knew about. The remainder of the plague is being shipped to the Weeping Cave, a cavern north of Malicia's Outpost, for use in some dark experiments. Students of the Scholomance are using this plague to re-animate the dead! Certainly they must be stopped.

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.

  • Desperate ActsWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    The Cult of the Damned maintains a small camp to the east, Malicia Outpost, which they use for field training outside of the Scholomance. We may have allowed them to proceed unchecked with this training for too long.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Zen'Kiki, the DruidWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    I am Adrine Towhide, a druid of the Cenarion Circle. You can thank us for healing this land, where once there was only death. We accept all who choose to follow the druidic path, regardless of race, faction, or talent. Occasionally that means we enlist a druid who needs more help than others.
