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.

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.

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
One of the letters on this table is encrypted and inscrutable.
Objectives
Bring the Encrypted Letter to Loremaster Dibbs in Southshore.
When the items are handed over
Yes, $gsir:madam;? Do you have some business with me?
What the quest-giver says at the end
What is this? Hold a moment...let me take a closer look.$B$B...$B$BHm, I have never before seen this form of encryption, but I must admit that my knowledge in that area is by no means complete.
This is the text the realm stores, written as stored. A vanilla quest writes a line break as “$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.
