Fly to Bradenbrook flight point, Val'shara (42.2, 58.5). Ride out the town's west entrance, along the path, until it forks at Merl's Steed (39.9, 60.3). Take the rightmost path across a river and up a hill, where you'll see Black Rook Hold (the building, not the dungeon). Take the staircase all the way up (not the ramp to its right), across a courtyard, down some stairs at on the other side at 41, 53, and you should see the mob and forge you need on your minimap (42, 52). You turn the quest in to [npc=96763], in the courtyard up the steps you just came down, at 39.9, 54.7.

Description
{name}, have you heard of Saris Swifthammer? He was a legendary blacksmith amongst the elves of Black Rook Hold. I wonder if any of his research still exists. I want you to travel there and see if you can discover anything about Saris, or see if he left anything we can research here at my shop.
