This quest is part of the druid only Power over Poison quest chain.

Objectives

Use the  [Empty Cliffspring Falls Sampler] to draw a sample of water from the mouth of the cave by the falls. Deliver the  [Filled Cliffspring Falls Sampler] to Alanndarian Nightsong in Auberdine, Darkshore.

• [Empty Cliffspring Falls Sampler](Provided)
• [Filled Cliffspring Falls Sampler]

Description

The Cliffspring Falls in Darkshore serves as the principal source of drinking water for the region, and now I suspect it is the principal source of the poison that is harming the local fauna - deer specifically. Use this sampler to draw some water from the mouth of the cave; be careful, as dangerous naga now reside in a cave by the falls.

Once filled, deliver it to Alanndarian Nightsong in Auberdine. She is the one that requested our aid, and you will work with her to address this malady.

Progress

You're the one that the Cenarion Circle in Moonglade sent? That's wonderful! We've quite the crisis our hands here regarding the poor deer, and we're happy for all the help we can get.

Do you have the sample of water that Dendrite Starblaze said you'd have? He notified me that you'd draw one so we could work on a cure together...

Completion

By Elune, this water is disgusting! No wonder the deer are sick. Something is polluting the water, and in turn corrupting Darkshore's entire water table. Sick deer have been seen all over area, and not just by the river. While this water is most likely a primary source of the sickness spreading, there's something else at work here.

This water, believe it or not, will help us formulate a cure. While I research this water, I have need of some items to formulate a cure...

Gains

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

• 750 XP (or 4 50 at level 70)
• 150 reputation with Cenarion Circle

Despite the location of the icon on the in-game quest tracker, this is actually done at the mouth of the Naga cave^[55, 33] where the quest Cave Mushrooms is done.
