Description

A ritual took place here, and from the looks of it wasn't successful. Among the abandoned items a book lies open. The text on the pages is foreign to you. Carrying the whole book may be difficult, but a single page might be enough. If you can get the page to Lorewalker Cho he may be able to tell you what it says.

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.

  • The Tongue of Ba-ShonKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    Thank you for coming, <name>. I am sorry to have been so cryptic, but I could not risk alerting the mogu to my work here. They are seeking something in the valley. Plundering the tombs of their old kings for relics of power.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Tomb of ShadowsKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    Given the artifacts you found on the altar, I would guess they were attempting to perform a Spiritbinding ritual. Most of the texts involving Spiritbinding were locked away in the Tomb of Shadows. Perhaps we will find the answers we seek there. Look for anything that might help us.
