Description
I trusted Thermaplugg, <race>. Never did I expect that he would betray me and the entire gnomish people. And for what? Power? Wealth? All things that he would have had in time. Now we have been displaced from our home and that madman is in charge. The king of nothing....
We will retake Gnomeregan, <name>. We will not stop until the city is back in our control. If you wish to join in our fight, a simple task I ask of you: Kill the betrayer. Destroy Mekgineer Thermaplugg.

Read from the World of Warcraft: Forever beta: the quest's own text, level, objectives and rewards come from the quest cache the beta client writes, the item names, icons and qualities from the client's tables, and the two ends of the quest from the quest's own wording where it names them, with the title under the name where the creature cache knows it, or from the beta log, with the spot on the map, where the game has shown the hand-over. 145 quests have a page here so far.
