I saw lots of bodies here. Kaz always said to burn the bodies. That way they can't come back as the mean greens. We should burn the bodies.

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.

  • The Life SpringGorgrond · Level 15-40

    It sounds like these... "dwarves"... you found managed to steal a powerful botani artifact. But the fools didn't know they need a special water to power it. To the north is a well along the Evermorn Rise. There you will find a guardian, a creature of water we have named Utrophis.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DoomshotGorgrond · Level 15-40

    This ominously large explosive appears to be ammunition for the primary cannon that the Bastion is built around. The loading assembly must be on a lower floor, but this ammo did not make it that far.
