Description
Corastrasza, currently stationed at the Vermillion Redoubt in the Twilight Highlands, has intercepted a coded message of grave importance. I'll let her explain the full situation, but we need your expertise to unravel the cipher!

Take your decoder ring to an ethereal thaumaturge in your capital city - he should know how to charge it. Acquire the encoded cipher from Corastrasza and use the ring to decode it for her. Hurry! Time is ticking...

Rewards
You will receive:

Progress
I was hoping Lord Afrasastrasz would find us a competent rogue.

What have you got for us, ? Do you have a means of decrypting the message?

Completion
What's this about? "Ravenholdt Manor?" I thought that was just a motley band of thieves up in the Hillsbrad Foothills.

What would they want with a dragon egg? More importantly, how did they find out about it?

We're going to need some answers, !

At the thaumaturge

 * Our ethereal technomancy has the ability to modify an item's arcane essence in ways previously unimaginable. We can also house items in a pocket dimension... for a small fee. See my associates for details.
 * Unless you have something for me to examine?


 * I see... involved in some shady business, ? Oh no need to worry - the confidentiality of all transactions is assured.
 * This ring you have is a superb piece of work. We can begin the charging process... for a modest fee. Charging the ring will take roughly one half of your world's cycles to complete. In other world, twelve hours.
 * Shall we say 10,000 gold? That's fair.

At Corastrasza
Inspecting the :
 * &lt;The body has been very badly burned and nearly bitten in half.&gt;
 * &lt;The red dragonflight may be the guardians of all life on Azeroth, but clearly they are not to be crossed.&gt;

Talking to Corastrasza:
 * Lost. Stolen! This is a terrible blow. Terrible!


 * Are you familiar with the large dragon Rheastrasza? A little off, that one. She often lurked about the Badlands in the form of a mortal goblin.
 * Rheastrasza came up with a scheme to steal and purify a black dragon egg, severing its tie with the black dragonflight and the corrupted Earth Warder, Deathwing.
 * If you helped Rheastrasza:
 * &lt;Corastrasza does a double-take.&gt;
 * You!? YOU helped Rheastrasza? And lived to tell about it?
 * I underestimate you, &lt;race&gt;. No wonder Lord Afrasastrasz sent you to me.
 * No doubt you remember what happened next: Rheastrasza was killed by Deathwing, but thanks to her sacrifice a single purified black dragon egg was secreted away and hidden.
 * If you didn't help Rheastrasza:
 * Believe it or not, her plan DID work. She acquired an egg - I'm still not certain by what means - and claimed to have severed its link to the tainted flight.
 * Then Deathwing found out about it.
 * He cornered Rheastrasza in a cave in the Badlands, destroying her and all of her work. Or so he thought. Rheastrasza had sacrificed her own eggs to fool the Aspect of Death.
 * The single, purified black dragon egg was secreted away and hidden!
 * That's why you're here, &lt;name&gt;. The egg was hidden here at the Vermilion Redoubtremove is spelled correctly. [sic]. Days ago, it disappeared.
 * Whoever did it was able to elude our sharpest guards. one of the thieves was killed during the abduction, although now I believe he may have been a diversion - the egg is simply GONE.
 * On his corpse we found this note. It remains our only clue, but it is written in a dense code and it MUST be deciphered.
