Dialogue
 * "More terrible news. The demonic corruption has spread to the nearby lands in the east. they have been touched by an evil more potent that we have ever encountered. Our only hope is to seek out the source of that corruption and purify it before it spreads further. Its existence is putting the Ancestor Tree and the entire village in danger."


 * "I offer you this seed, a blessed piece of the great Ancestor Tree. Although it may look like nothing more than an ordinary seed, the lifeblood of our pride is encased within. Defeat the tormented lands to the east and drop this sacred seed by their corpses;It will purify them and return them to the ground."


 * Accept Quest: "I will not return until the lands are purified!"
 * Refuse Quest: "Magical twigs and purifying corpses? Where do you people come up with this stuff?"

Walkthrough
Pick up the sacred seed. Go to the center of the zone ( follow map ). The Tormented Lands are level 24 elemental warrior creatures that should be approached with caution : Make sure you don't attack more than two at a time. As they die, go over their desintegrating corpses and drop the seed. If done right, the seed should start glowing on the ground, the corpse will dissapear, and you should get a ding that you have purified one of the tormented lands. You can kill them in any order, there is no need to follow the order the quest prescribes for you.

As soon as you purify 10 Tormented Lands the Earthern Abomination will spawn. Kill it, purify by dropping the seed, and go back to Mirza for the last part of this quest arc, Ancestral Anguish. It is not necessary to return the Sacred Seed to Mirza.
