Call of Water
This is the long one...
At level 20, as an Orc or Troll, Searn Firewarder gives you this quest. He can be found in the first chamber in Thrall's "palace" in Orgrimmar (Grommash Hold), along with the other shaman trainers.
Tauren Shamans receive this quest in Thunder Bluff from one of Tauren on the Spirit Rise, at the entrance to the Shaman trainer tent.
First you must find Islen Waterseer. She is just south of Ratchet at the coast, at "The Tidus Stair". If you swim it'll be much easier to find, in fact I believe you can see her hut and the giant shark she's got hanging from the Ratchet Docks.
Islen sends you to the southern Barrens, to find a Tauren named Brine. Near the quillboars in Southern Barrens (before Razorfen Downs/Kraul and AFTER Field of Giants) there's a hill to the west (at the mountains) with a pool at it's base and a tent on top - there you will find Brine.
Now begins the long part of the quest - first go use the waterskin Brine gives you near the pool at the foot of the hill, and return it to her. Next you must travel to Tarren Mill - this is in Azeroth (AKA Eastern Kingdoms, "The Other Continent/Island"). Start by taking the Zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Undercity - if you've already been to Tarren Mill just take the Batmaster there, otherwise follow the road southwest from UC, then east towards Hillsbrad.
Tarren Mill is in the eastern part of Hillsbrad Foothills, merely walk up to the well and use the waterskin frim Brine. Then return to her in the Barrens.
Brine then sends you to Ashenvale to look for the Ruins of Stardust - it is quite easy to find, and the quest log should provide you with ample clues.
Now, the lake you're looking for is swarmed with L22-25 elementals, and on the island in the centre is the fountain you're looking for - simply use the water skin near the fountain and you're set to return to Brine one final time. Brine sends you off to Islen again (remember, south of Ratchet), this time with a [Vial of Purest Water]. Islen will give you the [Water Sapta] and the [Remaining Drops of Purest Water] and send you to Sepulcher, which is on the western coast on the way to Tarren Mill. Go to the coast just north of sepulcher and follow it south until you see the Shrine you're looking for. Drink the sapta, kill the Corrupt Manifestation of Water, take it's [Corrupt Manifestations' Bracers] and use the nearby Brazier of Everfount - this will consume both the [Corrupt Manifestations' Bracers] and the [Remaining Drops of Purest Water] you got from Brine. Then talk to the newly created Manifestation of Water. It will give you a [Shard of Water] which, when brought to Islen Waterseer, rewards you with the [Water Totem] and the Healing Stream Totem spell.
Note: If you forget to talk to the spawned Manifestation of Water (the "clean" one) before the Elemental Sight effect wears off (I believe you have 10 minutes), you won't be able to complete the quest at first. You've probably noticed the troll on the cliffs at the shore - he's an "OMG we screwed up" NPC Blizzard threw in, so that you may "reset" the quest and get the sapta from Islen again. Never tried this out, cuz' I never botched the quest. Not even for fun =P
