The ""tale"", told in the form of a dialogue, is as follows:
Lorax: ""Amir gul xi azrathud, karkun.""
Player: ""You will have to excuse me, Lorax, I do not speak 'crazy'.""
Lorax: ""Bite your tongue, <race>, lest I rip it from your skull case and use it as a horn warmer.""
Player: ""My apologies, I did not realize that you could understand what I was saying. What is it you are doing out here?""
Lorax: ""What it is that I do, of course. I brood. I lament. I hate, I plot. When that cycle is complete I brood again. What is it you want from me? I have much on my mind.""
Player: ""Do you? Perhaps you should tell me what it is that is bothering you.""
Lorax: ""You?
""<Lorax laughs>.
""That is doubtful. I stand in these ruins and dream. Dream of the day I catch that miserable thief, Goraluk Anvilcrack.
""We had a deal, him and I. A deal that he broke. Betrayed.""
Player: ""What deal?""
Lorax: ""I would teach him how to demon forge in exchange for his soul. The soul of a Blackrock orc is worth very little but in these trying times a soul, any soul, is better than none at all.""
Player: ""So how did he break the deal?""
Lorax: ""He took the unforged rune covered breastplate, used in the making of the demon forged breastplate and ran away without making payment. A fool, I am not, however...the unforged chestpiece is useless without knowledge or the recipe to apply said knowledge.
""I wonder..does he sit safely in his city of Blackrock Spire and attempt to create the item from the raw material? I know he dare not leave!""
Player: ""Perhaps I can be of some assistance. I will make a deal with you, Satyr. I shall recover this unforged breastplate and slay the beast. In exchange for this task, you will teach me how to create the breastplate.""

As if Blizzard would fix an old quest like this... =/
It's probably waaaay down the list of priorities for them.

Worked for me today (4/17/09).
Counted for https://vanillawowdb.com/?achievement=1680 Loremaster of Kalimdor
The follow-up quest, https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5127 The Demon Forge, did NOT, and didn't open any new quests.

By Annanailo on 04/23/2009 (Patch 3.1.1)
Did NOT work for me today. Is there some sort of pre-req? I'm trying my best to do Loremaster and saw this as a questgiver on the map, but no dice. :(
By Maniaca on 09/04/2009 (Patch 3.1.3)
I know the follow-up is Blacksmith only, but is this one also BS only? If it is not, it either has a pre-req or is broken again. >.<
By saltedfish on 05/13/2009 (Patch 3.1.1)
As of Thursday, May 14, 2009, this quest works. Happy day. Running off to BRS to do it right now.

I took my lvl 64 hunter to him today, and talked to him a couple weeks ago, and got nothing. All he says is something in Satyr language, and I can't get either quest...
By SoulScorpion on 09/25/2009 (Patch 3.1.3)
3.2.2 and still broken.
Either there's some pre-req that nobody has posted or he just doesn't work anymore.
(80 orc hunter)

So do you have to have Blacksmithing to get this quest? Since he doesn't give the quest to me, and i don't have Blacksmithing skill on my chara.
By TrollDIVA on 03/12/2010 (Patch 3.1.3)
Just done this quest on EU-Die Silberne Hand! :)

Seems to be fixed, finaly.

By vedman on 04/22/2010 (Patch 3.1.3)
I was able to obtain this quest on a character with 450 Blacksmithing, and was NOT able to obtain it on a character without BS, on the same day.
I think it's fair to assume that you need Blacksmithing in order to see this quest.
