Description
You shouldn't have touched it. But now that you did, he's going to come looking for you.
And he'll find you. Unless you hide yourself from him.
Bring me blood from the faceless ones if you want to live!
Anyone else really like this place? I love all the pulsating trees and the fungi and crystals on the walls make it seem really ancient. Feels like you've invaded someones dreams. Good job on Blizz's part for making a rather peaceful place that mirrors that of the depression of Icecrown. :D
The moment when you touch a black crystal, feel an immense amount of pain and hear an undead kid saying "You really shouldn't have done that", you know you're in big trouble!
Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Icecrown, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.
The object is not a crystal at all, but some form of organ, encased in ice. As you touch it, your hand reels in horrible pain. You feel as if your hand has been cut, yet there is no visible wound. As you collect your thoughts, you hear a young boy's voice nearby.
You should leave now. You'll find a portal behind me. It'll take you to the surface. We'll meet again. He'll be looking for you. It's only a matter of time until he finds you.
