<A well-made, if well-worn, journal catches your eye. Thumbing through the pages, it is clear that this journal once belonged to someone prominent from this group of night fae. The last few pages are torn out of the book. Perhaps if the rest of the pages were located then Partik could help decipher what happened here.>

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.
