One of the parallel questlines contains the text, "Cutter is on the trail of the artifact the dwarves stole," and that's the reason you're looking for Cutter in this particular place. That questline is if you chose the gladiator arena; this questline is if you chose the lumber mill. Possibly the arrangement changed after the quests were implemented?

RewardsBotani Thorn Necklace, Smoothed Spiritstone, Utrophis-Soaked Spiritstone, 25g 47s, 5,450 XP

Description

It sounds like these... "dwarves"... you found managed to steal a powerful botani artifact. But the fools didn't know they need a special water to power it. To the north is a well along the Evermorn Rise. There you will find a guardian, a creature of water we have named Utrophis. Slay it and take its essence and you will be one step closer to claiming the power of the botani and their genesaur.

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.

  • Cut Them DownGorgrond · Level 15-40

    They steal children? Children?! Had you not rescued Kaz's child, he would be reduced to mulch just like the others. You should send them a message they will understand. Cut down their great dew casters. Rip them apart. Let them know that it is not okay to take our children.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • We Burn the DeadGorgrond · Level 15-40

    I saw lots of bodies here. Kaz always said to burn the bodies. That way they can't come back as the mean greens. We should burn the bodies.
