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. -Pulroy

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Echo of Ymiron
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...
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.
