Description: Inside the Central-East area of the crater where "The Loch" used to be. You will see a dwarven in-ground house entrance with a fishing trainer and a half-buried dock in the sand. The scroll will be slightly under the right side of the dock (Looking away from the house), next to one of its small support pillars.Part lll:

Description: At the bottom of a crate, to the left of a cave entrance which occasionally houses a rare spider: [npc=14266].Part lV:

Description: This scroll is towards the center of Ironband's Excavation Site. To know if you're on the right track if you stumble upon a wooden plank path. At the end of that path, to the left, will be the quest.

Location: (53.7, 38.2)
Description: If you look at your Loch Modan map, towards the center of the dried up lake, there is a somewhat large patch of water. In the upper right area of that general region, near most likely to be the largest tree, will be the scroll.Part Vl:

Description: Directly south of Mo'Grosh Stronghold, there is a troll statue near the first line of trees, will be part 6 of the quest.The Final Part:
After completing ALL SIX of the scroll quests, you will be offered one final quest entitled "Heartfelt Appreciation" which still entails you talking to the same NPC as always, but gives a bit more EXP than the other six.Good luck!

Here's a link to a map, showing all the locations of the different scrolls.

Also, a couple good things to point out...
All the others are in the general area of other quests, but nothing that I've seen out there leading to this one.
And, the crate that this is next to is out front of a cave, wherein resides a 18 epic (rare) spider.
Again, no quest related to it, just there to jump you if you're low enough level and not looking.Cheers

Description
The document bears the Explorers' League crest and contains historical records for all the notable locations in Loch Modan. Sooty smudges lead you to believe it was likely stolen by the Dark Iron spies in the area. You recall mention of missing documents at the Explorers' League building in Thelsamar.
