How it is completed

stored id 2

This realm keeps one row per patch for some quests, and this is the patch 3 row — the newest it carries. This realm's own quest table holds 4,727 rows for 4,433 quests, counted from this realm — the difference is the patch rows.

Who starts it

One start, from this realm's own creature table.

In the realm's own chain

The realm points at 1 quest entry it does not have a row for. The entry number is kept and no title is invented.

Items this row names

Role	Item	Count
Asked for	Stormpike Banner	1
Reward	Stormpike Insignia Rank 1	1
Reward	The Frostwolf Artichoke	1

Every item here is named by this realm's own item table, and each name is a link to that item's page.

The gossip a player reads first

You've arrived just in time, $c. These Frostwolf savages just won't give up! We must show them the might of the Stormpike. They must bow to our superiority.$B$BBefore you make your way to the field of battle, you will want to join the rank of Stormpike.$B$BSouthwest of Dun Baldar, you will find the Icewing Caverns. Planted deep within the caverns is a Stormpike Banner. Venture forth and recover that banner. Return it to me, and you will have earned a Stormpike initiate's insignia.

Objectives

Travel to the Icewing Caverns located southwest of Dun Baldar in Alterac Valley and recover the Stormpike Banner. Return the Stormpike Banner to Lieutenant Haggerdin in the Alterac Mountains.

When the items are handed over

Beware the harpies of the region, $c. They'll not think twice to rip out your throat!

What the quest-giver says at the end

Take and wear this insignia with pride, $N. As your rank among the Stormpike grows, so too will the insignia. Return to me as you gain honor with Stormpike, and I shall replace your insignia with other, more powerful insignias.$B$BPerhaps someday you will grow to be a legend on this field of battle. 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.
