Description

‹name›, I entrust you with the Gem of the Serpent. Place this gem on the Serpent Statue's hand on Ranazjar Isle, a small island northwest of here. Placing it will summon the one who protects the Book of the Ancients. This book contains the secrets of the naga, secrets that have been kept for centuries. Bring this book to me, and we will learn much about our scaled foes!

When you return

Ah, ‹name›! It's good to see you again. Do you have the Book of the Ancients?

On completion

The long lost Book of the Ancients! I will ensure this book is passed on to the high council. You've done well today, and for that you are to be thanked... as a hero should be thanked!
