This quest leads to the quest Process of Elimination, where you clear 5 digsites that have elites sitting on top of them or paroling around randomly, which then leads to The Gates of Valor where you clear digsites while dealing with a heap of elite mobs and hundreds of normals ... for an 815 item [item=131735]
Archaeology is "really fun" this expansion :(

Description
{name}, have you seen my ledger around here? I seemed to have misplaced it when I was stowing some canopic jars. Oh, nevermind. Brann Bronzebeard has sent for you though. He's in Stormheim continuing his research. Make your way out to him and let him know I'm still waiting on those flayed-skin chronicles he found.

Where this quest fits
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Process of Elimination
With so many places ta dig up fragments, it's become quite a pain figuring out where ta look for more of the titan disc. I have a plan though. I need ye ta eliminate potential areas where the disc could exist so we can narrow down where in Stormheim it might exist.
