What to do
Description
The mantid have been corrupting their kypari trees to imbue their amber with power from N'Zoth. The swarm is enough of a menace on its own. N'Zoth could transform them into something even more dire. The Shado-Pan need to hear about this. I suggest you bring this information to your other allies as well.

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.

We need to know what we're up against. Before we return to the Serpent's Spine, we should take the opportunity to scout the swarm. I will fly us over the Heart of Fear. We should be able to survey Empress Shek'zara's forces from above.
