To complete this quest, follow a few simple steps:
1. Get the book, trigger the quest.
2. Find the Library in Dire Maul, and use the Crescent key to open the door.
3. Inside there's a bunch of friendly NPCs, and you can find the quest target on the minimap
4. Turn in the book to him, and you'll recieve an awesome trinket and 7000 experience.

This book is a PRIEST ONLY quest. How much you try it, its only for priests.

ON another note, this trinket is pretty usefull, even after molten core as the only 'real' healing trinket there is rejuvenating gem which has a terrible low drop rate. So get your hands on this baby.

Comment by Thottbot

so where is this lorekeeper?

Comment by Thottbot

it only says xp reward for a level 62 quest?

is there another trinket or something for doing this?

Comment by Thottbot

Im a 54 Shadow Priest. I don't have any DM keys. I have the Holy Bologna book already (passed down from my 60 Hunter main) but I'm not too familiar with DM. Obviously it depends on player skill to some point, but would it be possible to solo (sneak) to that library without key to get the trinket reward, or is that the only way in?

If not, I guess I'd just have to find a group...

Thanks ahead of time for comments/opinions.

Do I have to do anything more thn just go to the Library? And how many Seaforium Charges do I need?

Comment by Thottbot

Trinket : 10 fire resistance 33 healing and 4mp5 I beleive. For a lvl 60 you also receive about 4g.

The trinket alone is more than worth it. You may get to live through a Ragnaros fight ^.^

Solo'd this quest as a 58 priest, granted I did have the Crescent Key. Simply run in at the northern entrance and wait for the guard to run to patrol to the right (He may stand still for a while, but it's safer to wait him out.) As soon as you think you're out of aggro range, go left to see a group of 3 ogres. Mind sooth the one closest to you and then run down the stairs to the right. Jump over the banister of the steps to the left and huge the wall around the other group. Mind soothe the one closest to the door, run down, and voila, you've got yourself a nifty trinket in about 6 minutes flat. :)

I did the same thing, waited for pat to move, then ran down the ramp a ways, mind soothed the closest ogre and jumped over the left side and to the library tunnel door, again using the key.

If you need the key, it drops from Pusilin in the EAST instance. You could easily 4 man EAST with 56+ party. Just bring a mage to AOE the lil plants and Pusilins adds.

This is the reward from the quest.

Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas

Nice Trinket.

Priest Only.
Increase Mana 4 every 5 seconds.
Increase Healing effects by up to 33.
+10 Fire Resistance.

Not to shabby.

Comment by Allakhazam

I just realized what a sad joke this is....it is by a "Shadow Priest" and the trinket you get has only +healing. Another cruel trick blizzard plays on the non-conventionel talent builds.:(

Where does alliance need to take this book?

Comment by Allakhazam

The quest tells you to take it to Shadow Priest Allister who's in what looks like the Sepulcher in Silverpine Forrest.

I've never been there as Alliance but my guild tells me it's relatively easy if you avoid the few level 60 guards.

Comment by Allakhazam

No its not in the sepulcher nor is it in SM.
Its in Dire Maul North.
When you enter you see some sort of arena with lots of ogres in it and lots of dogs.
Becarefull if you try to stealth trough.. they can smell you (which i learned xD)

Get down the "arena" and go left. There is a door. Pass that and you come down to a neutral area, library.
Find the quest guy with a golden "?" over his head and simply hand in the quest.

Cant say much about the trinket as i play a rogue.
Accidently went here due to a priest friend :P

Book drops randomly but check AH first some books drops more often than others. On my server they go for 40-200g after which class it is.. It might pay of just buying it if its low instead of doing DM over and over.

Isn't the Athenaeum in the SM library?

Comment by Allakhazam

What does it give?

Comment by Allakhazam

There's a prereq before you can turn in the class specific books. It's Elven Legends from Feathermoon Stronghold:

Comment by Allakhazam

You can sneak through this pretty easily. Enter DM north. On each side there are a group of ogres and a ogre pat that walks through. Wait for the pat to be on the right side and run straight. There will be a ramp down to a grassy area with a campfire surrounded by ogres. Be careful here as there is a pat of hyenas walking around. Jump on the left edge of the ramp and drop down onto the "ledge" down by the grassy area. Follow the "ledge" along the wall and you'll reach the side of the ramp that leads down into library.

This is a bit tricky. You can try to jump to get onto the side of the ramp, then run down. If you miss the jump, run down the wall and get in range of the ogres to Mind Soothe them. Once mind soothed, run along the edge and down the ramp. Then you just have to follow the trail down into library.

I did this at lvl 60, so if you're lower lvl becareful of the aggro range.

Good luck!

Comment by Allakhazam

You turn it to the Athenaeum inside Dire Maul. This is in the west instance (instance with Immol'thar). Sepulcher has nothing to do with this quest.

Reward is Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas, a trinket that give +10 Fire resist, increases effects of heal spells by up to 30 and regens 4 mana every 5 seconds.
