Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

Before Dalaran crashed, I was a preeminent expert on gems. But I lost it all--gems, books, scrolls--like everyone else. Imagine my surprise when I learned of a creature named Basalteous that possesses knowledge of gems stretching back before the Sundering. I want that knowledge. I will do anything for it. But the rock-skinned yokels here won't tell me any more about Basalteous. Can you get the earthen to talk?
