What to do
Torthen Deepdig at the Westfall Brigade Encampment wants you to decipher the three Rune Plates.
Objective by objective
- Use or find First Rune Plate object #188264
- Use or find Second Rune Plate object #188288
- Use or find Third Rune Plate object #188289
The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
We've no time to lose! Now that we've reassembled the runic keystone -- well, most of it -- we can decipher the contents of those very same runic plates Brann was working on before he fled.
We have no way of knowing if he managed to read the contents of all three plates, but we'll have to assume he got enough information to determine his next destination.
Stand before each of the plates and use the keystone to determine the contents of each. Brann may be counting on us!
Completion
<Torthen listens as you recount the contents of the runic plates.>
By Madoran's hammer, he's discovered a whole new titan city!
'The cradle of stone and iron.'
'Ulduar nestled in the storm.'
What d'you suppose that means? Could it be where we come from, after all these years?
We have to follow him! We have to find him!

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 (Grizzly Hills), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
