 * - from Wizzle Brassbolts at the Mirage Raceway in Thousand Needles

 * - from Brother Nimetz at the Rebel Camp in Stranglethorn Vale

Objectives
Find the 4 tablets and bring their legends back to Brother Nimetz.

Required:
 * The First Troll Legend
 * The Second Troll Legend
 * The Third Troll Legend
 * The Fourth Troll Legend

Details
The first tablet is called Moon Over the Vale and is located in the Bal'lal Ruins. These ruins are almost directly north of the Horde camp, Grom'gol Base Camp, and southwest of the hunter's camp where Hemet Nesingwary Jr. can be found. The tablet is in the northwest corner of the ruins. Coordinates: (29,19)

The second tablet is called Gri'lek the Wanderer and can be found deep underwater off the coast in the Vile Reef, almost directly west of the Horde camp, Grom'gol Base Camp. Once you find the "sunken city" with Saltscale murlocs, look on the outside of the wall for the tablet, on the northern corner of the wall. NOTE: There is also a second tablet on the inside of the wall, but there are murlocs guarding it so the outer tablet is the better choice. Coordinates: (24,22)

The third tablet is called Fall of Gurubashi and is located in the south western part of the Ruins of Zul'Kunda. It is in the most south western "room" (meaning walls but no roof in these ruins), in the north western corner of the room. NOTE: The tablet is in the main compound on the plateau, NOT down on the beach. Coordinates: (22,12)

The fourth tablet is called The Emperor's Tomb and is located in the north western part of the Ruins of Zul'Kunda. There are some back ways to get in, by climbing up the hills to the east of the ruins and running along the ledge there. However, you can also get in the normal way by coming from the east or west (beach) entrances and going up the ramp. Be careful because there is a lvl 41 elite in this area. The tablet can be found near the pool of water in the north eastern part of this "room". Coordinates: (24,09)

Once you have all four tablet inscriptions, return to Brother Nimetz at the Rebel Camp.
