Description

I can't believe that after all that searchin' ye did, it's still missing a chapter! I'm willin' ta bet that those satyrs got a hand on it and took it somewhere. Probably somewhere dark where no one could find it. I've heard rumors of a place, the Darkheart Thicket they call it, where the strongest of the satyrs are. If I had ta guess, I'd say ye need to go there and look around fer it.

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.
