Objectives

Recover an Essence of Corrupted Soil and an Essence of Corrupted Water from the caverns beneath Deadwind Pass.

• Corrupted Essence of Soil
• Corrupted Essence of Water
•  [Arcane-Infused Vial] (provided)

Description

Everything the Legion touches is marred by fingerprints of their corruption. If I can study the traces of magic they leave behind, perhaps I can discern their plans for Karazhan.

This vial is specially reinforced to contain fel magic. If you bring me the essences of corrupted soil and water from near their portals, I believe we'll be closer to unraveling their scheme.

Rewards

You will receive: 19 40

Progress

What have we here?

Completion

Every bit contains an essence of sorts - one we can study to learn things about the magic wielder and ways to manipulate their magic for... other purposes.

Gains

• 16,450 XP

Notes

Both essences are located in separate underground caverns. The entrance for the corrupted soil can be found at ^{[48.67, 78.85]}, while entrance for the corrupted water is at ^{[47.75, 78.29]}.

Quest accept

Archmage Karlain says: Be careful, <name>. Even with the vial's additional protection it can only withstand so much.
