Description

<The pages on this book are charred. The Primalists seem to be burning the ancient tomes found here, putting the dragonflights' very history in peril. It's as if the Primalists want to erase the dragonflights from history. Save what you can.>

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.
