TheWoWDBFunny Observation:
What about the dwarf quest giver in the camp? Why can't we just get him to translate it?
Drug seeking behavior at it's finest.

I thought this exact thing. "Hm. This is in Dwarven ... How on Azeroth do we translate it?" Uh ... Guys? Dwarven hostage, right there.

Description
Vor'takh is right -- we cannot allow this opportunity to slip through our fingers. Fortunately, I think I know of a way to translate the journal of this Brann. The shamans of the Redfang furbolgs, who congregate at the Heart's Blood Shrine south of the camp, grow an herb known as spiritsbreath. An experienced mystic can use incense made from it to seek wisdom from the spirits of the ancestors. Seek out the shaman known as Grumbald One-Eye. He should carry the herb for his devotions to Ursoc.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Damaged Journal
This battered, mud-stained journal has seen better days. Leafing through the pages, you discover dozens of notes, diagrams, and maps in the dwarven language. The only text you're able to decipher is the name of Brann Bronzebeard scrawled at the end of one of the entries.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Runic Prophecies
Brann's journal also contained a guide to iron dwarf symbols. I've inscribed these on a keystone which will help you to understand the words inscribed on the rune plates. From the journal entries, it seems Brann may be chasing after clues to the origins of his people.
