The Dead Mire

The Dead Mire is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in Zangarmarsh. It is step 22 of 64 in the Zangarmarsh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zangarmarsh at 68.3, 50.1. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

I have lived among the anchorites of Telredor for some time, <name>, and in that time I've come to know the marsh quite well. Recently, I've started to notice a disturbing change in the land to the northeast.

Virtually all life there has begun to wither and die, seemingly without explanation. I have a few ideas as to what might be happening, but they are little more than speculation. If you were to bring me a sample of the soil in that area, I may be able to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Unfinished BusinessZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    The first expedition the league sent reported encountering a gigantic spore bat they'd taken to calling Sporewing. They had to leave in a hurry, so they didn't have the chance to kill him while they were here, so I figured I'd finish the job for them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Unnatural DroughtZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    The soil sample you brought me is nearly devoid of moisture, <name>. If the soil itself is losing moisture, then the creatures that live in the Dead Mire must be suffering terribly. I've seen what happens when the region's fungal giants begin to wither and die.
