Digging Through the Past (Alliance)

Ask Jane Hudson for her book of Primordial Races: Runes and Writings. Ask Tal'ana for his Scrolls of the Stonefather. And ask Toopa for the The Dungard Codex.

• Primordial Races: Runes and Writings
• Scrolls of the Stonefather
• The Dungard Codex
• Have Zooey translate the Ancient Journal
• Ancient Journal Transcription

Let's see, Jane Hudson probably still has her book on ancient runes and carvings. And I believe Tal'ana has a few scrolls he picked up from Ulduar.

OH! And Toopa found what appeared to be some type of codex the last time he ventured out. I remember seeing the runes on it and they bear a striking resemblance to the ones in this book.

If you could convince them to uh... lend us those items for a bit, I believe I just might be able to create a translation for you. I won't even charge you for it!

You will receive:

• 4,450 XP

How goes the translation?

Was she able to translate it?

<You hand the book over to Samuel and he begins to read it.>

This is incredible. This earthen was able to create jewels with light at special shrines he built. I mean, he mentions building several of them all over the world but...

<Samuel pulls out a few maps and begins scanning them.>

• Tal'ana

• I do! But, and I mean no disrespect, I speak in coin if you catch my drift?
• For the right price, they're all yours.

• Chronicler Toopa

• Why yes, I did. And quite the read it is.
• However, I came across other books as well. One you may be more interested in as it contains a tale of heartbreak and adventure!
• The protagonist is this man, "Marcus" and it follows his tale as he woos women, and travels the world!
• It's quite a naughty read.

• Well it starts off with this Marcus fellow having been captured by pirates. He manages to persuade them to let him out after some time, though.
• Along the way, the boat is attacked by none other than a kraken!
• After a lot of fighting and some language not for the faint of heart, the ship is brought down and Marcus falls into the briny deep!

• Later he wakes up on the shores of a rather large island. His wounds were wrapped in seaweed and not too far off he could hear the most beautiful voice humming a song.
• When he looked up to see who it was, well, this would never happen in real life but it was a naga!

• Very much so! And then the naga came over and asked how he was feeling. And do you know what he said to her?
• <The tortollan pulls out the book and thumbs through the pages. He clears his throat and begins to recite from the book.>
• "For a moment I thought I was rescued, but staring into those eyes of yours I'm apparently still lost at sea." And then she flirts back with him!
• A naga and a human, conversing and cajoling each other. This is the reason why fiction is so fun to read, wouldn't you agree?

• Young shells, always in such a hurry. Very well, here's the codex.
• If you ever want to hear the rest of the story about Marcus, you know where to find me.
