TheWoWDB[38.7,41.9] On the post, pretty sparkly so you'll know something is there.
For those without coords, it's on the same area as Elder Stormhoof, nailed to the southern totem pole (with fire channelled into it).

Description
In shu'halo myth, the Rattle of Bones is connected with the Writ of History and the Drums of War. They are supposed to be powerful tauren artifacts. We must keep our eyes peeled if we're to find the other two. The writ will most likely look like some kind of pictographic scroll if the stories are to be believed.

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.
