This is part of The Terokkar Mana Bomb quest chain.

Want to investigate a mystery? Here's one now!

Objective

Investigate the Strange Object next to the Broken Corpse to determine what might have befallen the Cenarion Thicket. Then return to Earthbinder Tavgren just outside the thicket in Terokkar Forest.

• Strange Object examined

Description

Strange Object next to the Broken Corpse at ^[45, 21]

I have no idea what killed all of the druids here. I've been away for a couple of days on a survey of the Bone Wastes to the south.

Please, you must help me to uncover what's behind this horrible tragedy. Go into the thicket and look for a clue that might reveal something to us. When I was in there briefly, I could have sworn I saw a dead Broken and a strange object next to him.

And don't worry about Treelos - he might have been driven insane by what happened, but I think he's mostly harmless.

Rewards

• You will receive:
• 2 90
• 8300 XP
• +250 reputation with Cenarion Expedition

Progress

Have you discovered anything yet?

Completion

So, I was right. That was the corpse of one of the Broken? And you can confirm that there was a strange object on the ground next to him?

This doesn't make any sense. What would one of the Broken be doing here? And what is that thing it had with him?

Is it was caused all of this death?

Notes

The corpse in question is in the main building of the Cenarion Thicket, in front of the counter.
