Description

This is only volume one? We can't just take the first volume. A rare item like this is only useful if it's in a complete set! Grab as many of the other volumes as you can, I will have to prepare a larger expedition to remove all of these volumes.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

    Let us ponder the meaning of the Archivist's last words: "Victory only belongs to those brave enough to fall." Hmm. It could be reference to the Volume of Victory. That is the most well-known of all the writings said to be kept in this tower. That book is priceless, <name>.
