Description
These brackish wetlands hold a greater well of unsalted southern waters. It pains me, yet within my roots I sense a corruption seeping through that mountain gully.
The creatures, like those in our lowlands, react more bitterly to the taint. Lacking the sea's hardening salt since life's dawn, they have little strength against such evil.
Go to those highlands, and bring me the Highland Horror's root core.

Excavation Site: Wetlands: bosses, how to get in and every quest →
Read from the World of Warcraft: Forever beta: the quest's own text, level, objectives and rewards come from the quest cache the beta client writes, the item names, icons and qualities from the client's tables, and the two ends of the quest from the quest's own wording where it names them, with the title under the name where the creature cache knows it, or from the beta log, with the spot on the map, where the game has shown the hand-over. 145 quests have a page here so far.
