TheWoWDBI spent ages looking around the floor for this quest. Don't make the same mistake: you click the top of the little runes so that they start turning. There were no sparkles for me.

Note that it's the large stone with runes carved in the side (not the clickable 3 stones grouped together with chains on the side that the Bonespeaker Runeaxes are attacking).
They are at:
- [68.5, 51.7] In the Carver's Camp, north of the tree (top of "E" in RUNEWOOD on the map)
- [65.3, 53.2] West of the tree, just north of the T junction (slightly southwest of the "R")
- [67.3,56.6] Southwest of the trees in the Runeaxe camp (midway between the "R" and "G" of GREYWATCH)
