The Source of the Madness

Obtain a Whispering Blue Stone from Kurzen troops within the Stockpile.

• Whispering Blue Stone

After reducing the basilisk blood out of the elixir, I've uncovered an unusual precipitate. It appears to be a blue crystal of some sort...

<Brother Nimetz consults his notes.>

It's not a singing blue crystal... not a pulsing blue shard...

<He flips forward a few pages.>

... not a piece of the Mind's Eye. Nope, this isn't something we've seen before in Stranglethorn. If anyone has any more of this substance, I want it. Check the high-ranking Kurzen troops, in the back of their cave.

You will receive:

Make sure you handle that stuff carefully,. We don't know what it is.

<Brother Nimetz opens up a pouch and lets you place the crystal inside.>

I knew they'd have some more of this substance. I'm going to send this to my contacts at Fort Livingston, to the south. Hopefully they'll have some more luck with it.

Thank you for everything,.

Pick up Stopping Kurzen's Legacy before heading out. The mouth of the cave is at at the northeastern end of Kurzen's Compound.

Enter the cave and keep left to find Chief Anders at in a dead end. Back track a few yards, and go down the ramp, then turn around again at the split heading further downhill. In the back of this room at is Chief Gaulus. Backtrack and exit the room, then go straight into the southeastern part of the ramp split area. On the right side of the cave near to the supplies at is Chief Miranda. Keep heading back to the end to find at behind a table Chief Esquivel.

Hopefully, by this point, the Whispering Blue Stone will have dropped, but if not, keep killing troops until it does.

This concludes the Kurzen portion of the Northern Stranglethorn storyline. Corporal Kaleb will send players to Nesingwary's Expedition via Krazek's Cookery, Corporal Sethman will send players scouting the Bal'lal Ruins via Deep Roots (quest) alongside Berrin Burnquill with Bloodscalp Insight (Alliance), and Emerine Junis will send adventurers on a hunt for water elemental bracers with Water Elementals (quest).
