For those without coordinates, all of the Prophecies are inside the tunnel area of Thor Modan. They are gold-plated looking things on the walls and will have a "loot shiny" animation on them. Simply right click on them and you are done!

What to do

StorylineGrizzly Hills, step 110 of 115

Description

Brann's journal also contained a guide to iron dwarf symbols. I've inscribed these on a keystone which will help you to understand the words inscribed on the rune plates. From the journal entries, it seems Brann may be chasing after clues to the origins of his people. Keep your eyes open for any clues as to his destination. Return to Thor Modan, northeast of here, stand before each of the plates, and use the stone to determine the contents of each. We can't allow the Alliance to find him first.

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.

  • Deciphering the JournalGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    Vor'takh is right -- we cannot allow this opportunity to slip through our fingers. Fortunately, I think I know of a way to translate the journal of this Brann. The shamans of the Redfang furbolgs, who congregate at the Heart's Blood Shrine south of the camp, grow an herb known as spiritsbreath.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pounding the IronGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The Alliance isn't the only force opposing us in Grizzly Hills. The iron dwarves have firm control of the eastern coast, although Thor Modan, to the northeast, is besieged by stone giants.
