Description
It was terrible! My book was shredded, and the pages flew everywhere! I saw some caught in the sand devils that went down the tunnel, others caught on adventurers heading out to face the big monsters in Tanaris, and others are scattered around here. Maybe that bird thing of yours could find them? Please help me get the pages back so I can restore my book! Oh, and watch out for that shady Cravitz Lorent. He's selling new copies for a hundred gold under the Fashion Frenzy stage. Robbery!
