Description

To whomever finds this journal:

These bloodthirsty monsters have taken up residence in the ruins of Wyrmskull. What they want or why they're here is a mystery. In any case, the artifacts are not safe with those beast-men around.

Zedd and I made a new discovery while hiding out: a cipher to decode the tablets! Unfortunately Zedd and I were separated late last night. He had the cipher. Tablets were with Glorenfeld and Daegarn. Location unknown...

Find Zedd.

This quest is a reference to the Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction. In the scene, Bruce Willis's character, Butch, takes a bike from Zedd, and goes to pick up his girlfriend, Fabienne, and leave town.

Fabienne: Butch, whose motorcycle is this?

Butch: It's a chopper, baby.

Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?

Butch: Zed's

Fabienne: Who is Zed?

Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Echo of YmironHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    The spirit world has fallen under the sway of the Lich King. Fearsome creatures made of pure nightmare now stand watch over the realm of the elements. I sense that these val'kyr are guarding a terrible secret. I am too old and weak to survive another journey. You must go in my place, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • And Then There Were Two...Howling Fjord · Level 10-30

    There's no sign of the cipher on Zedd. After carefully searching the area you discover some writing in the dirt: "Glor and Dae inside catacombs. Have cipher and tablets." Perhaps you should head into the catacombs located just north of here and search for Glorenfeld and Daegarn.
