TheWoWDBThe forest heart was corruped by horde players doing the quest "Pierce there heart!" where the horde player pours night elf blood that was tainted by an Orc warlock who is really a demon.
The demon is killed later by the same horde character in the quest "Dread head redemption".

Barkburn Legguards, Forest Grace Mantle, Severed Druid's Leggings, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
You must get the Forest Heart to Gnarl at all costs! Down at the bottom of the Dor'Danil Barrow Den it sits, corrupted by the Horde. Only Gnarl can cleanse it. In order to move it, though, you'll need a Power of Nature. If you collect enough untainted spirits from the Severed druids and keepers, the spirits can be combined into a Power of Nature. Good luck, {name}!

The druids are dead, killed by their leaders who were driven insane by the Horde tainting the Forest Heart! I can feel the corruption even from here and I dare go no further. While I am too well attuned to Ashenvale and the Forest Heart, you...
