Hiding in the Stacks

Objectives
Enter Karazhan and search for knowledge of the Pillars of Creation with Khadgar.
 * Recover Knowledge of the Pillars of Creation

Description
Magni's information was enlightening. It should prove handy to have a friend who has the ear of a titan.

It's time to head into Karazhan. Not that I need to remind you, but it can be a dangerous place. There are countless strata of spells woven throughout the tower, and the interaction of the forces within can be... unpredictable. Be on your guard.

I'll join you inside. I need a moment to... gather my thoughts. This place holds a lot of memories for me.

Rewards
You will also receive:
 * 14,950 XP
 * 14,950 XP

Progress
Do you have something for me?

Completion
Not long after you left, the first wave of demons struck. We're holding them at bay... for now.

I'll keep this tome safe until we have a chance to study it.

Good work in there. I should like to delve into the libraries of Karazhan myself one day. At least... I think I would.
