Southshore

Speak with Loremaster Dibbs in Southshore.

adventurer. If you don't mind a long journey then I have a task for you, to again help Stormwind fill its library.

The old kingdom of Alterac fell after the great war, and it had a large collection of books. It's a tragedy that the city is ruined, but even more tragic is all of their knowledge lost! We must recover what we can.

Southshore is the closest town to the Ruins of Alterac. Go there and speak with Loremaster Dibbs. He can direct you to the ruins, and to what books may be found there.

    Ah yes, I remember Milton. A bookworm, no doubt. Bless him.

    And he's right. The Ruins of Alterac still hold stores of knowledge in danger of being lost!

    Ogres now dwell in Alterac, and they don't care much for higher learning.

    Quest data is exported from the world database of the Elwynn realm at WoW patch 1.12. Texts are shown as the world data stores them, with the game placeholders resolved to their neutral form. Spell names are resolved; their effect descriptions are not, because the world data writes them with client placeholders. Where a questgiver stands is on their NPC page, read from the server’s terrain grid. The export also carries this quest in DE, ES, FR, RU; this build publishes English only.
