Washed Ashore

Recover the Sea Turtle Remains from the Skeletal Sea Turtle in the waters west of Auberdine, and then speak with Gwennyth Bly'Leggonde back in Auberdine.
Sea Turtle Remains

Description

That beached creature is not an isolated incident here in Darkshore. There are more along the coastline and even in the water. I would like for you to investigate another one that we know of; this one was reported to be in the water due west of Auberdine, close to a sunken vessel. Return to me with anything that you may recover that would aid our research.

Also, in your travels you may find other creatures. By all means, if you should discover anything then please bring it to our attention!

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Sandcomber Boots
Dryweed Belt
Clamshell Bracers

Progress

Once you have investigated the creature's remains in the water to the west of here, I should be able to file a proper report with the Temple of the Moon in Darnassus. Perhaps then we will be closer to discovering the reason why these unfortunate creatures choose to end their lives beached on the coast of Darkshore.

Completion

You've been a tremendous help here today; we now have a solid chance at unlocking the mystery of why these creatures choose to beach themselves on the cost of Darkshore. The idea that they might be fleeing the area around Teldrassil is disturbing. Should you come across others in your travels, please let me know. Our research here is but in its infancy.

On behalf of the Temple of the Moon, please accept this as thanks for the effort you have given. Thank you, <name>!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 121.875 experience (5 85 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Darnassus

Sea Turtle is at loc 31,46. Just swim out a bit from the docks where the ship goes to Wetlands.

straight off the menethil harbors dock on the long wash, then down. Only the actual skeleton will work, the shell just gets in your way.

After completing these quests, you can pick up quests with the same basis, but they start at the remains.

For instance, there is another thresher body at 42, 31, that starts a quest to send you to Gwennyth.

I will update with the coords for the other when i find it again.

37, 62
36, 71

Very worth while doing the 9 after the mini chain as each handin counts towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor.
