 [24] The Corruption Abroad |
Researching the Corruption is the 2nd quest in the The Corruption Abroad quest chain.
Objectives[]
Gershala Nightwhisper in Auberdine wants 8 Corrupt Brain stems.
Description[]
Foolish blood elves toil with demonic magic. Have they not witnessed what happened with the naga and with the satyrs of Kalimdor?
I fear that the blood elves will meet a similar deformation. Azeroth cannot afford to give birth to another vile race of monsters.
I wish to study the brain stems of the satyr and naga so that I might deduce what fate the elves are headed toward. In Blackfathom Deeps, on the coast of Ashenvale, you will find both satyr and naga.
'Tis a long journey, <name>.
Rewards[]

You will also receive: 35
- 2900 XP (or 17
40 at max level) - +350 reputation with Darnassus
Progress[]
Once I have enough samples to study, my true work can begin. With the corrupted brain stems of both the satyr and naga of Blackfathom Deeps I can try to draw a correlation between the mutations.
Perhaps with that gained knowledge we can prevent the blood elves from delving deeper into deformity and evil.
Completion[]
You have traveled far and undoubtedly faced great peril.
Your actions have been selfless. 'Tis for the good of all Azeroth that you help me with my research. I thank you, <name>, for all that you have done.
Now if you'll excuse me I have much work to do....
