Legs of the Long Day, Plains Hunter Guards, 4,100 XPDescription
I have crafted the totem to cleanse the Winterhoof Water Well. Now, you must take it to the well and perform a cleansing ritual. The well is to the southeast, but be warned: whoever did this may still be there, laying in wait. This may prove very dangerous, {name}. Be careful...but do not let the defilers of our well escape.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Poison Water
Our sacred wells have been tainted, and I will need your help to fix this. To cleanse each well, I must create a cleansing totem, then you must bring the totem to the well and perform a cleansing ritual. First we will create a cleansing totem for the Winterhoof Water Well.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Thunderhorn Totem
There is more work to be done. We must create a new totem to cleanse the Thunderhorn Well. You must gather the claws of the predators of the Mulgore plains. Hunt prairie stalkers for their stalker claws and flatland cougars for their cougar claws, then return to me.
