- Finding the riddle
While battling the Bloodsail Buccaneers at anchor off the Wild Shore, south of Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale, you encounter a scrap of parchment with a riddle on it.
There is an ornate, well-traveled bridge

- Onward, it seems, to Dustwallow Marsh.
- North of Mudsprocket, and west of the Stonemaul Ruins lies a cave... Bloodfen Burrow. Many raptors surround and inhabit the cave. Within, you find a musty scroll.
