Description

At the Southmoon ruins, just east of here, we've made some finds. My colleagues have found stone shards, engraved with ancient writings, newly exposed by the shifting sands. The writings are in no known tongue, though they bear resemblance to markings we've seen on other ruins of the titans. Deciphering them could reveal many more secrets. Unfortunately, my colleagues are also busy defending the tablets from the Alliance. I need you to go to the Southmoon ruins and retrieve the tablets yourself.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Laying ClaimTanaris · Level 15-30

    We are not the only ones who have discovered the value of the Southmoon Ruins. The dwarves of the Explorers' League have swarmed there, taking artifacts and inscriptions for the Alliance. I don't think I have to explain much further.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ancient ObstaclesTanaris · Level 15-30

    For years, this valley has been sealed behind impenetrable gates. Now that the cataclysm has torn them down, the secrets within are ours to discover. There are yet some obstacles in the way. From within the gates, the bygone creations of the titans have awoken.
