TheWoWDBIf you lose him, or don't feel like following him, you can simply go straight to the Circle of Bone and wait. He shows up without any need for you to follow him or drop and re-accept the quest. But as noted below, he will have an interesting little conversation with you on the way if you stick with him.

I waited for a minute and he walked in.
For this quest, you will follow [npc=63217] as he tells you more about himself. The quest will end in the Circle of Bone once his story is complete.
Quest text:
Follow me, traveler. Let us get to know one another better.
I am known as a Lorewalker - a kind of historian for my people.
As such, knowledge is my armor, and I carry a quill in place of a sword.
Much of Pandaria's past is shrouded in mystery, even to us.
A Lorewalker's sworn duty is to rediscover our history - to rend that shroud, piece by piece.
This demands a tireless search for ancient clues, and the wisdom to interpret them.
Ahh, here we are. Be careful - I've had trouble in this area before.

Oh, where have my manners gone? Technically, I suppose I am the host here. Allow me to tell you a little bit about myself and my people before asking questions of you.

- If These Stones Could Speak
This is a very ancient place, traveler. Only recently have I pieced together a method of translating the forgotten language carved into these stones. Oh, the thrill of discovery! This never gets old, I assure you. Here, you are the guest. You do the honors. I insist.
