Description
I sense a powerful dark presence here, {name}, but it is not of Xavius. This feels too familiar. I sense a druid's touch here, a druid twisted by the shadow of the Nightmare. We must deal with this threat if we are to find Xavius. I will take to the skies and lend you my aid. Find this corrupted druid and cut down his tainted and twisted plants.
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.
- Malfurion's Fury
The loss of Cenarius to the nightmare is a devastating blow to us all. Though Malfurion's rage is justified, his hatred of Xavius has burned for centuries and I fear that his blind rage will be used as a weapon against him.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Demon's Trail
Malfurion is nearby. I can sense him. Search the summit of Andu'talah while I continue to scour the forest. Be swift, <name>. Time is of the essence!
