Let's see, Examiner Alerinda has a book on ancient runes and carvings. I think Koatini has a few scrolls he brought with him from Ulduar. OH! And Chronicler Shoopa found a codex de last time he ventured out. I remember seeing de runes on it and dey look a lot like de ones in dis book. Maybe you can convince dem to lend us dose books for a bit, and I think I can create a translation for you.
