- This quest is one of several regional Lost Lore quests. It begins when you find your first Soggy Page.
- These quests revolve around collecting audio journals that provide context to and depictions of historical events. Every time you collect pages of a tome, a short audio log will play. When all the pages are collected for a region, you will receive a completed text and a housing item that plays the entire audio.
You can read the complete lore text at Audio Journals: Lost Lore: Men of Dale.
