Description
The artifacts you helped excavate show the Amathet as a tribe who prided themselves on protecting the works of the titans. This confirms our assumptions, and indicates that something drastic must have happened to them to cause them to damage the very works they swore to protect. We should continue to track down their writings. I think I saw a more recent monument outside the Halls of Origination.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Chew On This!
These mangy hyena will gnaw on anything they dig up, including priceless artifacts! We cannae allow the history of Uldum tae go tae the dogs, so tae speak. I'm afraid we're gonna have tae thin out their numbers.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Seekers of Corruption
If anyone would know more about the "corruption" the tablet spoke of, it would be the Suntouched that were put in charge of rooting it out. Of course, I doubt they'll be willing to turn over any information voluntarily.
