Objectives Edit

Gather 8 Corrupt Brain Stems for Relwyn Shadestar in Blackfathom Deeps.

•  [Corrupted Brain Stem] (8)

Description Edit

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 sin'dorei are headed toward. Try to avoid harming the stems while you kill them, I won't take anything but perfect specimens.

ProgressEdit

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.

CompletionEdit

You have undoubtedly faced great peril to obtain these.

Your actions have been selfless. It is 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.

RewardsEdit

You will receive:

• 80
• 1600 XP
• 500 reputation with Darnassus

You will also be able to choose on of these rewards:

	[Dissector]		[Shadestar Mace]
	[Searching Wand]		[Band of the Skull Crusher]

Notes Edit

• The bug preventing Draenei characters from obtaining this quest has been fixed as of patch 2.3.0, although it is still bugged if your character attempted to receive the quest prior to 2.3.0, after finishing quests in the Draenei starting areas.

Patch changesEdit

Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): No longer has pre-req; now offered by Relwyn.
