This realm keeps one row per patch for some quests, and this is the patch 0 row — the newest it carries. This realm's own quest table holds 4,727 rows for 4,433 quests, counted from this realm — the difference is the patch rows.

Who starts it

One start, from this realm's own gameobject table.

This quest row records no previous and no next quest, so it stands alone in the realm's data. A chain can also be carried by other rows pointing at this one.

Items this row names

This quest row asks for no items and hands out none. That is what the row says; the item columns are all zero.

The gossip a player reads first

The centerpieces of this treasure chamber are four huge platinum discs, each adorned with numerous sigils of an unknown origin. Touching them makes your hand tingle. Just after touching the discs, the visage of a large stone watcher springs forth.$B$B"Salutations. I am a keeper of knowledge. The Creators' synthesis of the Earthen has been chronicled and stored here for this world in the Discs of Norgannon."$B$BYou have uncovered a wealth of previously undiscovered worldly lore!

Objectives

Speak with stone watcher and learn what ancient lore it keeps. Once you have learned what lore it has to offer, activate the Discs of Norgannon.

When the items are handed over

The voice of the stone watcher seems to resonate within your very inner being:$B$B"You must first satisfy the data assimilation prerequisite of Discs of Norgannon; once you fulfill this requirement, you will then be permitted to obtain a portable version of the stored data. Please be sure you have fully explored the information within this repository first."

What the quest-giver says at the end

Following the instructions of the stone watcher, you once again access the Discs of Norgannon now that you have learned about the history of the Earthen, the troggs, and the dwarves. A faint, brief hum is heard from within the discs. The stone watcher then speaks:$B$B"The discs have now been synthesized. Access the Discs of Norgannon once more to receive your personal copy."

The quest-completed text

Learn what lore that the stone watcher has to offer

This is the text the realm stores, written as stored. A vanilla quest writes a line break as “$B” and refers to its item counts as “%d”; the rules that turn those into a sentence belong to the game client, so the page keeps the codes rather than guessing at the prose.

Every row above is this realm's own quest row, read from its quest_template table. A value the realm did not record is left out or written as none rather than filled in with a plausible number. The figures labelled “stored id” — how the quest is completed, its type, and a reward spell — are keys into game data this realm was never sent, so they are printed as stored and carry no invented meaning. The experience figure is the base value the row holds: the amount a player is actually given depends on the character's level, and that rule belongs to the game client.
