Quest Text
We need to understand what went wrong with the Deadtalkers. For so many years, the Deadtalkers were simply responsible for maintaining the burial grounds and holding funerals for fallen warriors. From a recent raid, we've recovered a tablet from the grounds that is clearly written using a cipher, but it isn't one we've encountered before. If you can gather a ciphered scroll from one of the Deadtalkers, we can begin to put together the cypher and understand what's happened.
Plan the run before you travel
Townlong Steppes belongs to the Mists of Pandaria archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
