You can get the Codex from Chronicler Toopa next to the Inn.
You just go talk to the people marked on your map. Shadowlands quest UI update trivializes the quest since it points you exactly where to go.
But that's besides the point. I want to know more about Marcus.

Description
Let's see, Jane Hudson probably still has her book on ancient runes and carvings. And I believe Tal'ana has a few scrolls he picked up from Ulduar. OH! And Toopa found what appeared to be some type of codex the last time he ventured out. I remember seeing the runes on it and they bear a striking resemblance to the ones in this book. If you could convince them to uh... lend us those items for a bit, I believe I just might be able to create a translation for you. I won't even charge you for it!
