<Keynira runs up>
Keynira Owlwing says: The catapults remain disabled. I've burned several and trapped the others.
Mathas Wildwood says: That will do for the moment. And the tower? What of Althalaxx?
Keynira Owlwing says: I - I don't know. There's movement in the ruins.
Mathas Wildwood says: That's all you've got for me? I want numbers, locations, intentions - we're as good as blind. Get back out in the field!

Be careful what you're looting - there is a cat figurine near the ruins that'll spawn a level 20 mob. Painful.
The Highborne Relics are normally found lying on the ground near the ruined walls of Mathystra.

StorylineDarkshore, step 15 of 55
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
There are several ruins similar to these spread through Darkshore, many of them inhabited by the troubled spirits of the Highborne. Out of mild courtesy for their cursed souls, we haven't been overly proactive about stripping the ruins of artifacts, but those hesitancies vanish in light of this new troll threat. While you're aiding the Sentinels in their goals within the ruins, please collect any artifacts that you stumble upon and bring them back to me. I would like to preserve what little I can.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shatterspear Laborers
There are a large number of Shatterspear trolls picking through the ruins to the north and northeast. I suspect that they're looking for magical artifacts, but none of our scouts have reported the discovery of anything of significance turning up from their digs.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Denying Manpower
To the north, the Shatterspear have a war camp where they are constructing their catapults. The camp is guarded by some of their mystics, but I've started receiving reports that there are sightings of orcs and tauren there as well.
