Entrance. The cave mouth is in the ravine south of the Lushwater Oasis, at /way 46.0 36.3. The path winds down to a cavern with a pool, where the portal is.

Five quests are open to both factions; Serpentbloom and Leaders of the Fang are for the Horde. Nalpak and Ebru stand in the cave above the entrance, so Deviate Hides and Deviate Eradication can be picked up on the way in. Mad Magglish for Trouble at the Docks hides in that same outer cave.

7 quests send you into this dungeon. Click a quest for the full steps.
