The text on this parchment appears to be Tortollan. Is it possible that Tortollans once resided on this island?
We need to act quickly, before the creatures in this area destroy anymore evidence. Search the area for any signs of Tortollan relics.

To get this while the Explorer's League daily Clues Abound is up, you need to find the [object=325908] which contains [item=168223].
The [object=325908] spawns at the following locations
/way Mechagon 76.5 59.7
/way Mechagon 79.5 64.5
/way Mechagon 83.8 70.5
/way Mechagon 79.5 73.7
One word of warning. You cannot complete Clues Abound if you're using Monel-Harden Stirrup and flying. You must be on the ground in order to turn it in.
To clarify the top comment as there is some confusion. When you pickup Clues Abound, you can pick up one of several items at the waypoints listed. For example, it could be a dirt mound. What you are looking for is only the [object=325908]. Once you pick up an item, you cannot see any others, so if you pick up the wrong item, abandon the quest and and go pick it up again.
