Here was a nasty surprise: You can't fly in The Widow's Wail. This can be fatal if you discover it while coming at the cliffs from a large height!
So come in along the waterline from The Mistveil Sea (the cave is at sea level) rather than taking umpty-bazillion points in falling damage because you've decided to explore along the cliffs from The Jade Forest.
(Unfortunately, you probably won't be reading this until you've already died and come here with a WTF? look on your face -- same as me. At least you'll know you're not alone, though.)
The cave is on the outside by the water

Description
The problem with the sha of doubt, {race}, is its deceitful pervasiveness. Once the seed of doubt is planted, it can grow like an unwelcome weed. Such a seed has been planted in The Widow's Wail to the north, and like a weed, we must extinguish its presence immediately. I need you to destroy the lingering fragment of doubt before it can infect any more victims.
