Walkthrough:

By speaking to one of the two quest givers you have a choice as to which way would best serve the battle versus the Burun.

Lavvana tells you:
"Ah, seeker, I see you agree with me that our respected war-leader's plans are deranged by his unreasoning hatred of the Burun. They are our enemies, it is true, but surely it is wrong to slaughter their children.... I have an alternate plan to neutralize the Clutch without destroying it. Each Clutch uses a terrible Blood Fetish to initiate the new Broodlings into their toxic rituals of pollution and corruption. Without the Fetish, the new generation will perhaps not be as susceptible to their traditional tendency toward violence and destruction. In any event, they will be much less powerful enemies."

Or...

En Vestiluas tells you:
"Well met, warrior! With the disorganization of Nemesis forces following the tumult in the Undead ranks and the defeat of the Archons, we are finally ready to take the war to the vile Burun! All our warriors must do their part, but I have an especially vital and dangerous mission for you. You must infiltrate the Burun Clutch south of Ankoro and destroy the loathsome Brood Mother and her horrid spawn, the Broodlings. With the Brood Mother and her children dead, the Clutch will be neutralized as an offensive force until a new Brood Mother can be raised. Hopefully that will give us time to wipe them out completely! Death to the Burun!"

Head to the Burun Clutch(24.4N, 72.7E), South of Ankoro.
