Every item here is named by this realm's own item table, and each name is a link to that item's page.

The gossip a player reads first

You pick up the package, wiping off a small layer of dust and grime that had settled on it. It is addressed in a hurried hand to a Jeremiah Felstone of Lordaeron; the delivery of the package is dated for well over four years ago.$B$BThough it is unclear if Jeremiah Felstone is even alive, it is widely known that the Undercity, formerly known as Lordaeron, keeps records on the populace of the city. This is handled through the Royal Overseers of the Undercity Census.

Objectives

Check with the Royal Overseers of the Undercity to learn the whereabouts of a Jeremiah Felstone. There is usually a census officer located near guild and tabard registration.

When the items are handed over

Are you here to seek the assistance of the Undercity census, or just to ask me if someone you knew is dead? I get asked that a lot.

What the quest-giver says at the end

A package for a Jeremiah Felstone, with his last known address as Lordaeron... I should be able to assist you.$B$BJeremiah Felstone was in the city before the plague. Well, I should say the former Jeremiah Felstone - some of the Forsaken have changed their last names to rid themselves of their former countenance. This case is no exception; the former Jeremiah Felstone is now known as Jeremiah Payson.$B$BWait a minute... isn't he the cockroach vendor?

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.
