Dont forget, if your Quest Helper is saying you need to pick up a "Brann BronzeBeard's Jounral", just click on the journal in your bag which was provided for the quest, to combind the 8 pages + the journal to make the quest item.
I walked around looking for a journal and was about to start running into some caves for underground hiding spots for the journal.
The following occurs after you give the journal to Torthen Deepdig.
- Torthen Deepdig reads through the most recent entries in Brann's journal.
- Torthen Deepdig says: Astounding! It says here that Brann discovered a mysterious runic plate deep in Thor Modan!
- Torthen Deepdig says: Brann writes that he was working on a guide to these runic symbols when the giants and their allies attacked.
- Torthen Deepdig says: He reports deciphering part of the writing on the runic plate, but it doesn't look like he recorded his translation.
- Torthen Deepdig says: By Magni's beard, we've got to reconstruct the runic key he used to read the plate. We could be right on his heels!

Description
This battered, mud-stained journal has seen better days. Leafing through the pages, you discover dozens of notes, diagrams, and maps. The author's handwriting seems vaguely familiar, but you're unable to place it until you discover an entry signed with the name of Brann Bronzebeard. The back half of the book, containing the most recent entries, has been torn away. Pages litter the battlefield, and it will be impossible to know what Brann discovered here until the book is whole again.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hollowstone Mine
I've been meaning to send some of our lads to check out Hollowstone Mine. Haven't had a chance to yet -- we've had our hands full between the Horde on the west and the iron dwarves to the east. If Dumont sent you, though, the least I can do is point you in the right direction.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Runic Keystone
Brann's journal mentions that he used a runic keystone to illuminate the important runes on the plate he discovered. Without the keystone, the plate's contents would be little better than gibberish.
