If you stay in the Port of Zem'lan when you click on the 15 bones, the fine bone dust might not be placed in your bag. Instead, loot the 15 bones, go back to the Sanctuary of the Devoted in Vol'dun, then click on the 15 bones to make the bone dust. This will automatically be placed in your bag. Then you can go ahead and complete the rest of the quest.

Description
<As you open the book, you turn each page and see portraits of champions standing alongside a large beast. Eventually you come to a blank portrait, and touch the page. Runes begin to appear in an ancient language, and quickly translate into words you can read.> "The creature within, a guardian of men, A mixture of blood and of bone inked with pen. The blood from the scribe, the bone from the land, Milled to perfection, and signed by the hand."
