What to do
Find someone who can translate the paladin's journal. The closest location that might have someone is Kargath, in the Badlands.
The quest giver's words
At an impasse of sorts, you know that you will need the book translated into a language you can understand. There certainly are a number of people in the world who could do it; the closest location that might have someone who could, however, is the Kargath outpost in the Badlands. Perhaps that is a good place to start.
Completion
Mighty <class>, I know what you are doing out here in the Badlands. I know you seek my gift of tongues. You're after the parts to that necklace you found in Uldaman.
Surprised? Don't be - it's my job to know such things. Instead, let's discuss what you're going to do for a translated journal. Trust me - I'm the only one you'll find that can translate it.
Better still, let me make you a better offer than Dran Droffers is, and it'll let you still complete your deal with them. Interested now, yes?

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Uldaman), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. There is no zone artwork here – the grid lines are tenths of the map.
- Pick up

Objectives, in the order players do them
No objective progress has been uploaded for this quest yet. Once somebody plays it with the addon on, the objectives and their hotspots appear here automatically.
