The Black Shield

Bring the Blackened Iron Shield to Krog in Brackenwall Village.
Blackened Iron Shield
Provided Item:
Blackened Iron Shield

Description

An iron shield, blackened by the fire that raged through the inn, is affixed to the crumbling chimney, one of the few remaining parts of the structure that once made up the Shady Rest Inn.

The shield can be removed from the brick of the chimney.

Progress

What's that you have there, <name>? Evidence from the remains of the Shady Rest Inn?

Completion

I grant that humans have strange decorating tastes, but would they use a plain iron shield to adorn their fireplace? Perhaps this shield was placed there by the ones who burned the inn.

A warning? A threat?

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 70 experience (4 20 at max. level)

Also look for some other things at the inn ... there are hoofprints in front of it, and there's a tiny badge laying on some boards inside the inn ( https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=21042#z0z https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=21042#z0z ).

For those of you farther along ... I talked to Mosarn, but he didn't give any clues or followups. Is there more to this chain after completing the quest that leads to him?

The Shady Rest Inn quest chain can start either at the Inn itself, from the objects, or from Brackenwall Village (37.6,31.7), https://vanillawowdb.com/?zone=15"">Dustwallow Marsh.
If the player chooses to start the quest chain in Brackenwall, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4926"">Krog (36,31) will give the following quest:
This quest completes at https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=23567"">Inspector Tarem (29.6,47.5), located just outside of the inn, who will then use powder to help 'illuminate' the ""clues."" This basically causes purple arrows to appear, pointing at the individual quest objects strewn about the destroyed inn. Obtaining and completing this quest is not necessary, as the quest chains can be started directly from the objects regardless.

From the Shady Rest Inn (29.4,47.5), the quest branches into three paths, each starting when a different item gets looted.
The first quest for each chain will have you bring the three items to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4926"">Krog in Brackenwall Village.

Loot the https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=20992"">Black Shield (29.6,48.6):
Loot the https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=187273"">Suspicious Hoofprints (29.7,47.7):
Loot the https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=21042"">Theramore Guard Badge (29.8,48.2):
After completing all three quest chains, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4926"">Krog will offer a fifth https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1276"">The Black Shield quest, asking players to bring the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=5919"">Blackened Iron Shield to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4943"">Mosarn (55.6,79.6) in https://vanillawowdb.com/?zone=1638"">Thunder Bluff.

Mosarn will then volunteer new information regarding the ""mystery"" and starts the following short chain:
When these three quests have been completed, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4926"">Krog will direct you to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=6546"">Tabetha (46.0,57.1) for further progression and conclusion:

Tried to do this today on my 70 Priest (going back through Azeroth and doing all the quests i left). Though I could examine the hoof prints as well as the badge, I cannot click on the shield.

Anyone else have this problem?
