TheWoWDBDoes this quest imply that the Forsaken can eventually "die" of old age by becoming the mindless zombies they wish to destroy?

She's freezing cold, so I went and wiped out some bats to collect fur to keep her warm.
Then I took her slippers as a quest reward.
Now I merrily prance around Tirisfal in her nice, warm footwear while she desperately tries to tuck her exposed feet under that ratty little pile of duskbat furs.
I think that it's psychosomatic- feeling cold is often associated with fear, and what could be scarier than being aware that you are slowly turning back into a mindless zombie?

It's so cold, now. The Plague of Undeath crawls through my veins like an icy serpent. The mindless state will be upon me soon. But no doomed destiny will prevent me from serving our Dark Lady. When the call arose I sewed body bags for the fallen soldiers of Sylvanas's mighty army. Now my hands shake from the chill. If you would bring me five duskbat pelts, I could sew myself a blanket. Help me, {name}, so that I can continue to serve the cause.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

I need a fresh report from our Deathguard waystation to the east. I must know if more Scourge forces have slipped past The Bulwark and into Tirisfal. Our vigilance on the border to the Plaguelands must be maintained - we can't let the Scourge get a stronger foothold here!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return to the Magistrate
You should return to Magistrate Sevren with the information I gave you. He'll want it as soon as possible, so be swift.
