The gossip a player reads first

Here's your report. I urge you to take it to someone who might have working knowledge in this kind of thing.$B$BI know this troll scholar named Zilzibin Drumlore. He's spent a lot of time studying life forms that are unique to the ecology of Azeroth; he's a historian to boot! If you want someone to help figure out what exactly this threat is and how to stop it, give this report to him. We're going to need all the help we can get.$B$BZil lives in a house on the second tier of the Drag in Orgrimmar.

Objectives

Take the report to Zilzibin Drumlore in Orgrimmar.

When the items are handed over

I'm sorry, I don't know you... but from the look of things you have at least heard something of me. Now, what can I help you with? Do you have something for me?

What the quest-giver says at the end

This report... I've dealt with these beasts before. Fizzledowser was wise to send this, and you, to me.$B$BThese creatures will consume the Tanaris desert rapidly; they are nothing short of one of the greatest menaces we all will ever face. Familiarize yourself with this name, $n: silithid. The insects mentioned here are the silithid, and they are the tools of one of the greatest threats that both the Horde and Alliance face.$B$BIf only we were smart enough to see that before.

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.
