This place is full of memories for me. This place was once held by the Argent Dawn. It was here from here that we prepared for many battles and skirmishes against the scourge during their most recent push into Tirisfal Glades. When we withdrew to the Plaguelands I feared it would fall into disrepair. My fear was well-founded, but I am glad that Danitha and her paladins have taken over stewardship of it now. She even named the keep after... a mutual friend.

I'd advise you not come into too much physical contact with those crystals. Even shattered and spent, the lingering magic in these necrotic crystals is highly dangerous.

It wasn't long ago that the citadel of Naxxramas bore down upon this city, intent on wiping the Forsaken off the map. Both the Forsaken and the Argent Dawn lost much that day to secure the future of the Forsaken. During the battle, the great necrotic focusing crystal hanging beneath Naxxramas was shattered and its fragments were scattered all over this area. I suspect that is what the cultists are here for. Help me recover the fragments and deprive the scourge of them.

Danitha and I fought against the scourge in the defense of the Undercity when Naxxramas attacked. We lost many good friends that day, including the hero after which this keep was named--Garek Bandarion. He might just have been the first Forsaken to rediscover how to wield the light as a paladin. I am encouraged to see his legacy and potential live on here with Danitha and her cohort. If only the rest of the forsaken felt the same way...

I plan to stay here for a time and speak with more of my friends, but I will return to Light's Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands soon enough. Should you ever find yourself out that way, please do say hello. We could always use more help from able-bodied adventurers.

Stay low and try not to be seen, mage. These cultists are not to be trifled with.

Against your better judgement you scrape up and collect the squirming remains of the beast. Someone in Undercity might have a use for them.

I trust you did not get lost?

Well done--and quick, too! Now onto my favorite part...

I applaud your diligence, adventurer. Brother Paxton sent a list of books, and you've found most of the missing ones. The rest must have been taken to the Jasperlode Mine. You can keep that book bag!

What did you find? Anything interesting?

All the traps are like this? Seems our new neighboring nuisances are causing more destruction than we were aware of. I'll go broke if we don't do something about it.

An interesting collection. These should work well enough! Here's some of my own older supplies. It should help anyone trying to get their footing in fishing.

A good campfire is the foundation to any good camp.

I've been warning the guards about the murlocs. They won't listen. I have a few ideas on how to get back at those critters. I'll need your help getting what I need for it though.

Have you found all the books yet?

I can hear their warbling from here, it'll be in my nightmares. Well, that should slow them down--although I have no doubt that they'll make up those numbers quickly.

Any catches to speak of?

It was too conspicuous for me to steal the book myself. What luck one of their own patsies did the dirty work for me.

What's this, adventurer? Tracking kobolds? Well, of course they're headed toward the Fargodeep mine! That place is infested with kobolds. Good work, I guess. I'm going to need someone to take care of that problem.

Excellent... I was never able to gain access to this text, it was held in a protected wing of the library that would have looked suspicious for me to be loitering around. Well, you did a good job in getting this, and I'm convinced that you can probably handle your own imp, so there's no reason for me not to show you how to summon one.

So now that we've learned the basics, why don't you go and learn a tradeskill. They will also teach you the know-how to create a proper camp fixture suitable to your new profession.

Have you figured out where the Kobolds are heading?

What do you have to report, adventurer? Have you been to the Fargodeep Mine?

I appreciate the lookin' out, warlock. That marshal's just a worrywart. Hey, you've got the look of an adventurer yourself. How would you like to learn about camping?

Alright. Take this kobold tracking kit. It'll let ye' track the kobold that Marshal McBride is concerned with. Follow the tracks and bring what ye' find to Marshal Dughan in Goldshire. I have a feelin' these varmints are up to somethin' outside Northshire. So ye'll be needin' Dughan's help.
