'Esteemed <name>,
The information you brought to my attention earlier has turned out to be extremely valuable. Already I am calling fo the changes to our battle plans to account for the new importance we attribute to the Twilight's Hammer presence.
Please accept this item as a small token of our gratitude. I hope we can continue to count on you as a valiant ally in our fight in Silithus.
Sincerely,
Commander Mar'alith'

Don't be like me and discard the DTT! I thought it was more trash or useless junk. Only had to abandon quest, and require thru Hermit Ortell, np.

Description
Ok, here we are... a pretty valuable chunk of information, I must say! I've seen the Cenarion Circle forces arrive at Silithus. They plan to drive the Twilight's Hammer out, don't they? This will help. Take this parchment to their leader, Commander Mar'alith. Soon the Twilight's Hammer will be vanquished and I will be outside their grasp for good!

Now that I have the Twilight Lexicon in my possession, there is a small favor I'd like to ask of you. My former organization has a secret encoded bulletin they circulate on a monthly basis.
