Description
Ah, I can already see more clearly, {name}. We are right to be wary of the evil Neferset. I can already sense that they're behind the forces that corrupt the river. Go underwater once more and find the Murkdeep Cavern. You will find the Neferset are performing a foul ritual of corruption. Stop them so the river is cleansed once again.
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.
- Stopping the Spread
Slaying the foul creatures that plague the river will not be enough, <name>. A new generation of these monstrosities already threatens to spawn within our holy waters. Seek their foul eggs and destroy them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Root of the Corruption
You might have dealt with the symptoms of our problem, <name>. But I've been studying these foul beasts and the eggs are not laid here by them. The stream from the current carries their eggs to the dam, but whatever is laying them will be found upstream.
