Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'The waters appear to addle the senses but does little else. The Rangers have stated that the water is deadly poison. Perhaps they refer to the western pools? 'If their words are true, collecting the water from the western pools will prove most hazardous. You must be careful lest a single drop touch your skin. The stuff is deadly poison and will stop your heart in your chest. 'Venture back to Imlad Balchorth and draw water from the poisonous, roiling floods of the western pools. It may provide the answers I seek.' Background The pools of Imlad Balchorth re noxious pits of foul water. No one knows if the corruption stems from the Enemy's industry or from a more sinister source.
