Objectives Edit

Collect 5 Recovered Artifacts from the ruins around Lake Mennar^{[35, 74]}

in Azshara.

•  [Recovered Artifacts] x5

Description Edit

The ruins around Lake Mennar, to our east, have a story to tell. The lesser races - like those clumsy dwarves - would go after the truth with picks and shovels. <Malynea wrinkles her nose.> We'll be using more elegant methods.

My scrying magic is somewhat rusty, but with the right trinket I should be able to peer through the shrouds of time. The bones of my forefathers have long since rotted away but some of their personal treasures may remain - bring me some.

Progress Edit

Have you gotten your hands dirty for me?

Completion Edit

<Malynea furrows her brow and begins sifting through the artifacts you brought her.>

So the spirits of the dead still haunt those old stones, hm? Well, <name>, as it happens, I'm counting on their help. Let's see what the dead have to say.

Rewards Edit

You will receive:

• 5
• 910 XP
• 250 reputation with Silvermoon City

Notes Edit

Plenty of broken pottery circling the lake while on Survey the Lakeshore.

On complete:

Malynea Skyreaver sifts through the recovered treasures until something catches her eye.

Malynea Skyreaver says: Ah! This ring will do nicely...
