The gossip a player reads first

I did not realize... Forgive my callous words, $c.$B$BThe mistakes of my ancestors are not what I wish to dwell on, but if your request is truly genuine, then I will help you.$B$B<Aurora examines the fragments.>$B$BI believe this is the Crystal of Zin-Malor, an artifact that can contain and control strong arcane forces. It could have been used for good, but the evil intentions of those that stole it caused it to shatter.$B$BGo to the Temple of Zin-Malor in Azshara - I can only hope the book is still there.

Objectives

Find the Sacred Highborne Writings in the Temple of Zin-Malor in Azshara, and bring them to Aurora Skycaller near the Northpass Tower in Eastern Plaguelands.

When the items are handed over

It is only in the pages of the sacred writings that I will be able to discern whether or not I can help you...

What the quest-giver says at the end

The pages have gone untouched for many many years...

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.
