Description

There is great dissent in Inkgill, <race>. Elder Shai Hu drank the sha-corrupted waters of the mere, and forced the others to do the same. When I protested, Orachi of the town guard confiscated my ritual staff and banished me.

Now, I am not only an exile, I am unable to speak with the waters that once gave me guidance!

I am not a fighter. But if you are, perhaps you can recover my staff from Orachi? He is in town to our north.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Enraged VengeanceKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    <The Swordmistress does not look well. There's a darkness to her eyes uncharacteristic of the pandaren.> I don't think I've ever been as... as furious as now. What betrayal!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Free the DissentersKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    Not all of my fellow villagers from Inkgill are corrupted. Many heeded my warnings and did not drink of the sha-tainted waters. They are in hiding, terrified, and intimidated by the guards. Please, tell them there is hope! Go into the village to the north. Speak with them and send them to me.
