If you came to this page, I suspect it's because you teleport to the Blasted Lands, killed the NPC and the quest chain just vanished from your log.

You should have a second scroll to Duskwood. Once you kill the NPC in the building there, the quest chain begins moving forward again.

To complete the quest:

Under the "quests" drop down on the right side of your screen, you will see the Codebreaker quest linked. To the right of that is the square prompt box Click the box which is labeled Coded Message.

A dialog screen will pop up and then the quest is completed.

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.

Dalaran Objective area no plotted point

Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Dalaran, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

Getting there

    We have one other lead that may prove useful. Goes by Felcaller Whitley, another of the cult's elite. He's eluded our agents at every turn. Our latest reconnaissance report puts him somewhere in the village of Raven Hill in Duskwood. He's sure to have information vital to your search.

    <The cultists seem to have a base of operations in Darkshire. At least Althea Ebonlocke is a member, but it is likely that the entire Night Watch has been compromised.> <The best course of action for now is to retrieve the dark implements for their ritual and make an attempt on Althea's life.
