Rewards5g 35s, 2,750 XP

Description

I found a journal by a man named Bradshaw. Unfortunately it's missing many pages. Especially towards the end. If you find enough of the pages I might be able to piece together what happened here after the Curse broke out. Who knows... maybe the people in this town found a way out. Maybe there are still survivors out there. Maybe my father is still alive.

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.

  • Queen-Sized TroublesGilneas · Level 1-20

    The spiders keep coming in alarming numbers, <name>. You're going to have to go into their lair and kill the broodmother. We've spotted the giant spider known as Rygna at the edge of the Blackwald in an area covered in thick webs. It'll be dangerous, but we're all counting on you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The BlackwaldGilneas · Level 1-20

    It took a while, but I think I've put together what happened here. At least partially. There were survivors of the Curse in this town. They joined others in the mountains, in Tempest's Reach. Everyone left, except the man who kept the journal, old man Bradshaw.
