How it is completed

stored id 2

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

This realm's relation tables do not name an NPC or object for this quest, and the quest row itself has no giver column. That is the realm's answer, not a missing one.

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

Although terribly worn and scratched, the title of this book can still be read upon its cover:$B$BThe Powers Below$B$BInside the book is a listing of unpronounceable names with foreboding titles, methods of worship, and preferred sacrifices...many of which include living, humanoid creatures.$B$BOn the inside cover of the book are the words: "Bonegrip's Runes and Dooms, The Forlorn Cavern, Ironforge. Proprietor: Gerrig Bonegrip."$B$BIf Bonegrip sells books like this, perhaps he'll buy this one back.

Objectives

Bring the Book: The Powers Below to Gerrig Bonegrip in the Forlorn Cavern, Ironforge.

When the items are handed over

Hello, $Gsir:madam;.$B$BMay I interest you in one of my tomes?

What the quest-giver says at the end

Ah, a copy of The Powers Below. An interesting text, this is. And some might find it useful...$B$BBut this one's in sad shape. And look here! There are notes in the margin of almost every page!$B$BHm...I know this copy. I sold it to Bolgar last year. Are you...a friend of his? Yes, I thought you were. You have that same fire behind your eyes!$B$BWell, by definition, a friend of Bolgar's is a friend of mine. And we take care of our own, yes?

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.
