This quest can be done around the Pumping Station roughly 66, 23. The following quests go together well in a group:
- Cleaning up the Pools
- Souls of the Decursed
- Weakness to Lightning

Location all around 65.23. What you do is just kill Fizzcrank mechagnom and then you use The Greatmother's Soulcatcher on corps. They are not many of them and surrounded by their robots so it may take time to finished quest.
Engineers don't forget to take your tools. If you are engineer you can loot different engineering parts from robot corps, which you may find useful later on.

It appears you have to be either friendly with the Taunka or have finished "Master of the Storm", as I was not able to get this quest until I complete "Master of the storm, which also made me friendly. My money is on friendly.

Contrary to popular belief, it seems that gnomes does indeed have souls. How peculiar.

So... Taunka can be warlocks?

Comment by Farmbuyer

After you turn in the quest, the gnome spirits appear and explain about the Curse of Flesh, which is (I think) the earliest point in Northrend progression that a player will encounter the name.

First time through this zone, I thought it was just some generic "crazy mad scientist babble" phrase. Then I got into Storm Peaks and Ulduar and found, hey, it's a semi-major lore point.

The gnome vs robot ratio is horrible,,,,

Comment by perrintub

For those of you who are engineers remember to left click to get the soul. if you right click and salvage parts from them you wont be able to get the soul as well.

Souls of the Decursed

Use The Greatmother's Soulcatcher to capture the souls of 10 Fizzcrank mechagnomes. Then, return to Greatmother Taiga at Taunka'le Village once you have done so.

	Gnome soul captured (10)

Provided item:

	The Greatmother's Soulcatcher (1)

Description

The mechagnomes in the pools to the west are a great mystery to us. They appeared not long after the gnomes disappeared from their pumping station and its environs.

They are an unnatural danger and must be dealt with.

Take this soulcatcher and use it on the remains of the mechagnomes to capture their souls. When you return, we will set them free so that we might find out what happened.
