Objectives
Travel to the Ruins of Sha'naar in Hellfire Peninsula and obtain 5 Demonic Essences from the Illidari Taskmasters. Return to Apothecary Azethen at Falcon Watch after you've completed the task.
Description
Uncorrupted draenei, like this unlucky fellow here, are virtuous champions of the Light. What corruption caused their great race to devolve into the Broken and Lost Ones?
I've heard a theory that exposure to fel energies is what caused the mutation. I would like to put that theory to the test.
Northwest of here lie the Ruins of Sha'naar. There you will find lowly Broken commanded by Illidari taskmasters. Bring me demonic essences from the taskmasters so that I can test them on this draenei.

- Apothecary Azethen says: Drink this, you blue brute! Disobey me and I promise you a slow, painful death!
