Hints of the Past

Hints of the Past is a Horde-only quest for level 1-30 in Ghostlands. It is step 35 of 41 in the Ghostlands storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Ghostlands at 72.0, 32.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

As you skim through the pages in the journal you're overcome by an unnerving sense of being watched.

The contents are unsettling. Dar'Khan's soul was one filled with hatred and contempt for his own people. The extent of his machinations and plots are all documented in great detail.

Perhaps there is something here that Vynna will find useful.
