Description
After our initial foray into the hives and Mistress Mar'alith's subsequent madness the three hives have been spewing out bugs! The increased activity might be tied into the glyphs covering those strange crystals.
We must get a rubbing from crystals in all three hives. If we can get those rubbings, we might be able to make sense of this madness.
Take this transcription set and some buddies and hit those hives, your name. Don't come back until you've gotten copies from each hive.
In progress
If you find some crazy night elf lass in one of the hives, be sure to give her a kick in the duff for us.
Completion
I can't make heads or tails of these glyphs. I've never seen anything like it! I hope Frankal's research can shed some light on this mess.
