Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying

Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying is a thick book full of writing that starts the quest chain to obtain the sword Quel'Serrar. Unfortunately the text appears to be garbled.

Notes and trivia

 * With the revamping of Onyxia's Lair this item is no longer obtainable to players. However, the Broodmother drops level 80 versions of the sword: Burnished Quel'Serrar in 25-man raid and Gleaming Quel'Serrar in 10-man raid.
 * It is an homage to EverQuest, the game in which World of Warcraft developer Alex Afrasiabi made his mark in MMO gaming with his guild 'Fires of Heaven'.
 * '...hide under a ledge or a bridge'...is referring to a fight in Everquest which a guild attempted to kill one of the bosses by hiding their Clerics under a bridge in order to avoid Area of Effect spells, and the guild was accused of hacking/exploiting and was promptly banned.
 * The reference to 5-15 Clerics and 10–15 seconds refers to what is known as a 'CHRot' or 'Complete Heal Rotation'. Complete Heal, at the time, was a level 39 Cleric spell that was capable of healing anyone in the game to their full hit point value. The spell had a 10 second cast time, so Clerics were set up in a rotation to continuously be hitting the tank with a Complete Heal every .5–2 seconds so they would not die from a damage spike.
