RewardsApocryhphic Bindings, Chestguard of Inscrutability, Girdle of Gar'gol, 4,800 XP

Description

<You can't read the text, but diagrams seem to indicate that the devices around you should be activated in a set order.> <One passage of the Apocrypha has been translated to modern text:> In the beginning was shadow eternal. Hate blazed forth, and FIRE was born. Wounds scabbed, and so begat EARTH. Cries of anguish birthed howling WIND. Wherein the skies wept seas of TEARS. We live in the shadow, The world we know Built of rage, hurt, anguish and sorrow.

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.
