Hail, young $r. I am Elissa Starbreeze, and it is my charge to protect Auberdine from harm.$b$bTo this end, I sent Balthule Shadowstrike to observe the strange happenings around the Tower of Althalaxx to the northeast.$b$bIt is past time that he should have returned.

As you might know, I collect lore.  Old lore.  Powerful lore.  Lore that opens doorways, and lore that can awaken Those Who Sleep.$B$BThere are rumors of an old piece of lore, the Lorgalis Manuscript, at the bottom of Blackfathom Deeps in Ashenvale.  That place is the old dwelling of long-dead elves.  Elves who held great knowledge before their city fell to ruin.$B$BSearch Blackfathom Deeps for the manuscript.  Do this, and I will not forget it.  Not even after ... the end days.

Legacy text slot 2

Recover the Silver Dawning's Lockbox and the Mist Veil's Lockbox for Gorbold Steelhand in Auberdine. Both items should be found aboard the wreckage of the ships to the north of the village.

Legacy text slot 3

Off the coast of Darkshore to our north are two wrecked ships - the Silver Dawning and the Mist Veil. Some time ago, both ships ran afoul of the blasted murlocs as they sailed across the vast sea into Auberdine. They now lie at the bottom of the ocean as trophies for those fiends.$B$BBoth captains didn't make it out that night, and their logs and other effects are still below in lockboxes. I'd like for you to recover them for us; it would mean a lot to the crew members still around these parts.

Hey! Help me with my latest invention, the buzzbox. You can talk to people far away!$B$BMaybe you've already seen them, they're boxes with levers on them. The only problem is they need constant maintenance.$B$BEach one suffers from a different problem, but I made a really smart decision. I placed each one near creatures that have the proper parts to fix that particular machine. Right now Buzzbox 827 is on the fritz. It's just south of Auberdine, real close. It takes 6 Crawler Legs to fix it. I'll pay ya...

Some of my brethren were rescued from a corrupt furbolg in Teldrassil, and I've vowed to stop any more atrocities before more of our kind are injured... or worse.$B$BI have seen a couple hints of corruption in Darkshore already, but I have yet to find any widespread signs.

I love crab.  Crabs are the fruit of the sea!  You can bake it, barbecue it, boil it, and broil it.  They're pan fried, deep fried, and stir fried.

That's... that's about it.$B$BI'm here fishing right now, so I can't get any fine crab chunks.  You can pick them out of reef crawlers and encrusted tide crawlers.  You can make a lot with it.  You can bake it, barbecue it, boil it...
