The gossip a player reads first

Hail, $c. It has been a long time since we have had the chance to answer the call of battle. The old feelings are slow to rise but once awakened, the blood does rush. The battle rage returns...$B$BAll newcomers to the Valley must first complete the rite of battle.$B$BDeep within the Wildpaw gnoll cave is a banner of the Frostwolf. Venture forth and recover the banner. Return it to me and I shall grant you the Frostwolf initiate's insignia.

Objectives

Travel to the Wildpaw cavern located southeast of the main base in Alterac Valley and find the Frostwolf Banner. Return the Frostwolf Banner to Warmaster Laggrond.

When the items are handed over

Wake up! Wake up, $N! This is not a dream. You really are entrenched in the midst of a raging battle!

What the quest-giver says at the end

That burning sensation you feel is your soul being awakened. Your spirit has accepted the call to arms.$B$BYou are now one of the Frostwolf, $N. Congratulations.$B$BCarry this insignia with you at all times. As you advance among the ranks of Frostwolf, I will replace the insignia with other, more powerful insignias.$B$BPerhaps someday you will be exalted among the Frostwolf Clan. Should that day ever come, you will be granted the Eye of Command.

This is the text the realm stores, written as stored. A vanilla quest writes a line break as “$B” and refers to its item counts as “%d”; the rules that turn those into a sentence belong to the game client, so the page keeps the codes rather than guessing at the prose.

Every row above is this realm's own quest row, read from its quest_template table. A value the realm did not record is left out or written as none rather than filled in with a plausible number. The figures labelled “stored id” — how the quest is completed, its type, and a reward spell — are keys into game data this realm was never sent, so they are printed as stored and carry no invented meaning. The experience figure is the base value the row holds: the amount a player is actually given depends on the character's level, and that rule belongs to the game client.
