Another of these items, that just fills your inventory. Belamoore's Research Journal drop from Warden Belamoore and is worth nothing and should just be trashed.

It's an interesting read, and actually points to a PUQ (Pick Up Quest), I believe.

Note page 15: " So I sent the bloodstone pendant with a courier to Dalaran with specific instructions on how to test it, so they may avoid my earlier frustrations."

Also, page 18: "But after weeks of no news my patience faltered, and upon further inquires to Dalaran I learned that the bloodstone never reached my colleagues. My courier was somehow lost on the way, and the bloodstone pendant was lost with him!"

Finally, 19: "I have sent another messenger to Dalaran, and hear that even now they are scouring for the pendant, in the ruins outside our protective sphere.

I only hope we're not too late."

This may be intended as a lead-in to direct one to a kill or a loot that starts a quest, though I do not yet know of it.

19 Pages! Somebody was bored one day.

I personally think it's hinting towards http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4614 and the quest chain that follows

The way she talks about feeling a deep, hidden, dark power, yearning for release <page 3>, the stone being alive, made from the blood of an unknown thing <page 12>, and the elements all remind me of the Myzrael quest chain

From the Quest text, Prison Break In

"You see, four Forsaken fled the Undercity a few months ago. They turned their backs on their brethren, but what's worse...they stole from the Dark Lady.

These thieves broke into a secure vault and stole four artifacts, items our apothecaries required in certain studies. Sylvanas would have these artifacts returned."

From her book...

' "Remnants of the Old Gods still linger in the deep hollows of the world. New forces seek to harness that ancient power, and those who succeed will have a terrible weapon against their enemies."

That is what Kegan uttered as he handed his bloodstone pendant to me... '

I think one point of this quest is for the Lore freaks, as it implies that the Forsaken (or at least an element) are dabbling in the power of the Old Gods.

I think it would actually be referring more to the references of an Old God underneath Tirisfal. The High Elves felt it when they first landed and I believe some others have felt the presence.

We'll just have to see what turns up.

There is another questioning the forsakens (or sylvanas's) lust for power, In Dustwallow Marsh there is a Forsaken Apothecary killable by both alliance and horde, and for horde drops a item that starts a quest

or Signs of treachery.
And i just started liking playing undead too...

The interesting thing about this book is the fact that she states in many sentences that she "talkes" to Kegan. Kinda odd considering Kegan is undead and cannot speak common and ofc she cant speak guttterspeak!

Possibly leading up to a quest in WoLK?

Anyone care to comment why, on my server (The Forgotten Coast) that this item is being AH'd for over 250gp?

Commento di 64664

A few options:
1) It's sold on shared AH. Alliance (most likely) can't kill those blokes, so there's no way of getting the book.
2) It only drops once from the npc, so destroying it one time means you can't get it anymore.
3) Just for 'fun', story-related, lore and all that.

Sending a scout to Dalaran? Poor guy's got a nasty hike ahead of him, seeing as Dalaran has been relocated. =X

Notimportant for anything but i had a very nice time reading it.

Personally, I would have put it on the list of books to read for the "Well Read" achievement, but it's not there. :-(

I didn't think it would take very long as there are only a couple of sentences per page, so I typed up the whole thing. It actually took me longer than expected (it's 3 sheets of A4!), but I did it anyway because I found it an interesting piece of flavour text, which might very well be lost come Cataclysm.

Page 1
Kegan Darkmar, leader of the small group of undead who came to us in search of asylum from their “brethren”, defies our common attitudes toward his kind. His skin may be rotting and blood may have stopped flowing through his veins, but he acts very nobly and seems to care more for his compatriots' safety than his own.

Indeed, there is a humanity within him that, I confess, I sometimes see lacking in the humans around me.

Page 2
But why do I mention this? I do so to give credence to what I am about to write. For these words came from Kegan's lips and it is my hope that my colleagues will, upon reading this journal, know why I believe what he said:

“Remnants of the Old Gods still linger in the deep hollows of the world. New forces seek to harness that ancient power, and those who succeed will have a terrible weapon against their enemies.”

Page 3
That is what Kegan uttered as he handed his bloodstone pendant to me, and there was fear, and maybe reverence, in his eyes as he did so. And as his hands met with mine they lingered, as if reluctant to give up the pendant. Revulsion swept through me, yet to this day I know not if I reviled against his dead flesh pressed to mine, or if the pendant itself made my skin crawl.

For I felt a power within it. A deep, hidden, hungry power, and one yearning for release.

Page 4
Although my colleagues in Dalaran were cautious to study the bloodstones that Kegan and his followers brought with them, instead quarantining the four refugees and leaving the bloodstones on their persons, the sincerity of Kegan obliged me to study his bloodstone pendant.

Page 5
My hopes were to verify for my colleagues that this type of stone did possess magical properties, and if we wizards of Dalaran did not wish to exploit the power of bloodstones, we should at the least learn their properties, since out foes may one day use them against us.

And so my studies began.

Page 6
I started my tests with the assumption that bloodstone was a type of rock, like quartz or obsidian. So I began a series of procedures to determine: what minerals were contained within bloodstone. What forces were applied to produce its color and hardness, and other properties common to rocks and ore. But the bloodstone pendant, to my frustration, did not react to my procedures as would normal ore.

Page 7
In fact, it often acted in precisely the opposite fashion as expected! It was almost as if the pendant was deliberately fouling my experiments.

Like it was thinking, and alive.

Angered by not discouraged, I switched from assuming the pendant was an inert piece of rock, to assuming it was a living thing.

But again, I failed.

Page 8
None of my new tests brought to light any revelations of the origin of bloodstone. At the time the only riddle I solved was that bloodstone was neither living, nor dead!

But it was then, at the brink of failure, that a breakthrough was made. My latest rest involved a glass beaker whose brim was chipped, leaving a small, jagged space along its edge. When the test was over, again revealing nothing, I went to clean my worktable and cut myself on the beaker.

Page 9
The cut was not deep but nevertheless bled fiercely. Before I could wrap my injured finger in a bandage, a good deal of my blood has spilled on my worktable.

And as I was cleaning up this new mess, I noticed the strangest thing...

Page 10
The blood that had spilled near the bloodstone pendant was slowly moving toward the piece of jewelry, as if gravity had somehow bent itself toward the bloodstone. The blood that touched the pendant seemed to disappear, and the red color of the stone deepened as it drank more of my blood.

Page 11
After seeing this my head grew light., perhaps from my recent injury (though I do not believe I had lost that much blood) or perhaps because I had finally, after so much frustration, uncovered one of the bloodstone's properties. I reached behind me for my work stool and sat down, pondering. Thoughts and questions raced through my head, dizzying and threatening to topple me.

Does bloodstone drink blood? Does it crave blood? Does it attract blood?

Page 12
Or, is bloodstone made of blood? And if so, then whose blood? Mine? The blood of any human? Any animal?

Or maybe bloodstone is the blood of some unknown thing, the very thing that Kegan had both feared and revered when he handed me his pendant.

That is the question that must be answered. It is the key.

Page 13
Fire rekindled within me. I then dove back into my experiments. This time I made no assumptions, methodically performing every test at my disposal. This increased my required efforts tremendously, but I would be more likely to make discoveries.

And, although my lab here is small and I have no subordinates to spare to aid, I did find one more intriguing quality of bloodstone...

Page 14
In addition to blood, there are elemental forces fused within the stone. Fire, water, thunder and rock are mixed with the blood (but again, the blood of what?), and although this mixture is outwardly inert, all these forces seem to rage inwardly against each other. So many more questions were then raised about this amazing and foreboding material.

Page 15
But to answer those questions, more studies and experiments must be performed on the pendant, and I fear that the Lordamere Interment Camp cannot marshal the manpower nor the equipment for the task, so I sent the bloodstone pendant with a courier to Dalaran with specific instructions on how to test it, so they may avoid my earlier frustrations.

Page 16
As I waited for the results of the tests, I spent my time speaking to Kegan. Although I constantly pressed him for what he knew about bloodstones, he never told me more than what he said the day he gave me his pendant. And he did not often speak of his time within the fold of what he called “the Forsaken”, which the the name he calls his clan of undead.

Page 17
But Kegan was very eager to speak on other subjects, particularly his time growing up in Lordaeron before its fall.

He still holds much love for that lost kingdom, even though it is now ruined, and dead.

My growing fondness for Kegan gave me patience as I waited for my test results.

Page 18
But after weeks of no news my patience faltered, and upon further enquiries to Dalaran I learned that the bloodstone never reached my colleagues. My courier was somehow lost on the way, and the bloodstone pendant was lost with him!

This is grave news. For although Kegan and his followers still have bloodstone specimens with which we may experiment, I fear the pendant may fall into unsavory hands.

Page 19
I have sent another messenger to Dalaran, and hear that even now they are scouring for the pendant, in the ruins outside our protective sphere. I only hope we're not too late.

There are significally many quests that requires you to find some sort of "bloodstone" item, either an orb, shard etc. Perhaps its some beta treat for the players who really scavenge Azeroth for old snacks.

Custode Belamoore was removed in patch 4.0.3a and this item is no longer available. You can still read the journal here though.
