Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

The Rattle of Bones is a part of shu'halo ancient myth. It is always connected with the Writ of History and the Drums of War. They are supposed to be powerful tauren artifacts; gifts from the Earth Mother if the tales are to be believed. I cannot imagine Her being connected with the drums, though. We must be vigilant if we are to find the other two. The writ will look like a pictographic scroll if memory serves.
