A Terrible Purpose

Take the Decoded Tablet Parchment to Commander Mar'alith.

Decoded Tablet Transcription

Description

Ok, here we are... a pretty valuable chunk of information, I must say! I've seen the Cenarion Circle forces arrive at Silithus. They plan to drive the Twilight's Hammer out, don't they? This will help.

Take this parchment to their leader, Commander Mar'alith. Soon the Twilight's Hammer will be vanquished and I will be outside their grasp for good!

A while after completing this quest, you will get a letter in the mail:

'Esteemed <name>,

The information you brought to my attention earlier has turned out to be extremely valuable. Already I am calling fo the changes to our battle plans to account for the new importance we attribute to the Twilight's Hammer presence.

Please accept this item as a small token of our gratitude. I hope we can continue to count on you as a valiant ally in our fight in Silithus.

Sincerely,

Commander Mar'alith'

Attached to this letter is Nature's Whisper (http://classicdb.ch/?item=20645).

What's the point of this quest?
You'd think there was some other reward (or another quest) than just 1g 80s that was worth creating a cave, an npc, a little backstory and marking the cave on the map :P
