The Black Shield

Talk with Krog in Brackenwall Village.

Description

Oh, I think I might have dropped too much acid onto the shield. Let me just rub a little...

Hm, kind of hard to read, but it looks like the name Mosarn. Never heard of him. Maybe Krog knows. Krog knows many people.

Ok, to summarise what everyone said:

The shield leads u down a 4 part quest:
*Taking the shield to Krol
*Taking it to the ogre blacksmith
*Finding the Acid
*Taking it back to Krol

The badge is a 2 part quest:
*Taking the badge to Krol
*Going to the ogre south east of Brackenwall and killing the humans.

The footprints lead nowhere so far as i can see. You merely take word of them to Krol and he sends away a scout, and thats it...

After doing all these parts, talk to Krol and he will tell you to go to Thunder Bluff to find the blacksmith.

The Shady Rest Inn quest chain can start either at the Inn itself, from the objects, or from Brackenwall Village (37.6,31.7), Dustwallow Marsh.
If the player chooses to start the quest chain in Brackenwall, Krog (36,31) will give the following quest:
This quest completes at 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 Krog in Brackenwall Village.

Loot the Black Shield (29.6,48.6):
  4. The Black Shield You are here!
Loot the Suspicious Hoofprints (29.7,47.7):
Loot the Theramore Guard Badge (29.8,48.2):
After completing all three quest chains, Krog will offer a fifth The Black Shield quest, asking players to bring the Blackened Iron Shield to Mosarn (55.6,79.6) in Thunder Bluff.

Mosarn will then volunteer new information regarding the "mystery" and starts the following short chain:
When these three quests have been completed, Krog will direct you to Tabetha (46.0,57.1) for further progression and conclusion:

the quest ends at the hunter's rise because the programmers at BLIZZARD that were working on it quit in the "Great Exodus" and thus the dustwallow quests were never truly finished on either side

I think the quest has to do with the kidnapped Stormwind King on the island with the elites off the coast, and more quest will be added on from I have heard rumours in the expansion.&nbsp Just like Zul Gurub etc, sometimes quests dead end, but more is added when they have the content to end the story. somehow the burning of the inn will be linked with his abduction (the captors were hiding him or something and they destroyed the inn because the innkeeper found out, misplace suspicion by putting a Tauren Shield there to make alliance assume it was horde who destroyed the inn, and an alliance badge so horde assumes alliance (or alliance rebels) did it in.&nbsp

Just a thought.&nbsp Whether Blizzard ends this or not, I have a good story going!

this quest works fine...

u get 3 quest from the inn.
when the poison has been collected and they are done, head southeast from brackenwall village. at the road you'll find a ogre with a quest, and he will lead you to Paval Reethe.
After some talking back and forward, 4 theramore guards show up and you need to kill them (i soloed as 37 rogue, easy)

return to brackenwall and now you get quest to go to thunder bluff where the quest finally ends at Mosarn at 'The hunter rise'

This seems to be a dead end.&nbsp The text from Mosarn basically says something along the lines of I make a ton of shields I can't be expected to remember every single one and stop there.. you get some XP and the mystery stops.. sad cause I was really getting into the story on this one.

He was at 40,36.

He interrogates Reethe and you have to kill a few 3 41-43 humans.

Spoke to Krog, and he now says he doesn't know who Mosarn is, and the quest ends, thats it, no ! to show that more quests are available.
No trip to Thunder Bluff as stated by other people.

So went did hoofprints one, and on return he sends of a scout to follow tracks, and again thats it no more, the whole quest line just comes to an abrupt end.

Strange, is this quest line broken!, or am I missing something.

Trivia:

Although the name is a little different, this is most likely a reference to "Moser's Blessed Circle", an exceptional unique shield in "that other Blizzard game" Diablo 2.

The shield's (and NPCs) name is in turn a reference to Mark Moser, who of course is a Blizzard employee. He works in Quality Assurance.

I remember a 'Mosarn' npc in Thunder Bluff, but I don't know if he has any relation to this questline.

There is a quest after this, in which he asks you to show the shield to "Mosarn" in Thunder Bluff an experienced blacksmith.&nbsp However, I searched all of TB but to no avail, and searched up the name here on thottbot and could not find it...does anyone else know about this?

OK sorry, I thought that Krog would give me a quest to go find the troll who then sends you on to Reethe, like all other quest lines I've completed before!.

This is the end of this questline, but at the Inn you can start 2 others:
- Examine the hoofprints on the ground to get the quest Suspicious Hoofprints.
- Pick up the tiny medallion on a plank of wood to get Lieutenant Paval Reethe.

It's called Suspicious Hoofprints, you get it by going back to the in, just out side the front there are some hoofprints, right click on that and you'll get the next part

ok people... this is not the best storyline ever, but it does have an end and if u think about it, it does make sense.

I think Mosarn was the one who started the fire, his shield was there PLUS the hoof prints...tauren...hoofprints...understand?

that's what i think blizzard is trying to get at.&nbsp SO DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER QUEST AFTER U GO TO TB...CAUSE THERE ISNT ONE...THE CHAIN IS COMPLETE
