Cortello's Riddle

Following the trail begun with a waterlogged parchment found in the Swamp of Sorrows, a second cryptic verse urges travelers to a far-off land in Kalimdor. Deciphering the lines points treasure hunters toward a cave in the southwest of Dustwallow Marsh.

A far off land in Kalimdor awaits

Where peril has dashed hopes and fates

East of Barrens the weather is harsh

Gloom and danger pock Dustwallow Marsh

But there lies a clue for those up to the test

Waiting to be found in a cave in the southwest
