The Runic Prophecies (Alliance)

The Runic Prophecies is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Grizzly Hills. It is step 35 of 115 in the Grizzly Hills storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Grizzly Hills at 59.8, 27.4. It rewards 4 reward items, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

We've no time to lose! Now that we've reassembled the runic keystone -- well, most of it -- we can decipher the contents of those very same runic plates Brann was working on before he fled.

We have no way of knowing if he managed to read the contents of all three plates, but we'll have to assume he got enough information to determine his next destination.

Stand before each of the plates and use the keystone to determine the contents of each. Brann may be counting on us!

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Runic KeystoneGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Softening the BlowGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    Our best bet for moving our forces quickly to Icecrown Glacier lies with the network of tunnels beneath the ancient iron dwarf city of Thor Modan. Brugar Stoneshear and his Explorers' League boys aren't going to be happy, but orders are orders.
