A fine parchment scroll, sealed with the emblem of the Wyrmrest Accord. It is addressed "to the Elders of the Way of Malorne."
The letter is written in a bold and flowing hand, in the classical Darnassian script.

Greetings, Children of the Stars.
You have found your Foe at last. I name him your Foe, but indeed he is a Foe to all the works of the Titans, and to the Balance you cherish. Since his crimes against my brothers and sisters he is also a most hated foe to me and to my kin.
You correctly surmised his true nature, and the dark den in which he lurks. He is one of those whom your older and darker legends name in whispers as the sons of Nyarlathotep.
For behold, I have read the fragment your sister copied, and behold, the words I read:
"...implore you, Vez'kha, weeping Warden of unlighted chambers, mournful General of the Legion of unsleeping shadow, silent Custodian of truths arcane and terrible, you who hearken to the whispers of Death: Cast, O watcher in darkness, the questing gaze of your lidless eye..."
This, then, is your Foe.
Know that Dragons can give you no aid, should you choose to seek him out or confront him. The Immortals are barred by ancient magics from the precincts of Ulduar, and our powers cannot penetrate the walls the Titans built.
The prison-city of Ulduar is vast, but the Dwarfs who call themselves explorers have created maps, populated by the guesses of mages and the ravings of those hapless mortals who have strayed too far in that dark demesne. You will need their aid in finding him.
The arcane wards on the inner chambers of the Pit are vast and intricate, even after the devastation caused to them by the follies of your kin. The mages of the Kirin Tor have learned how mortals may pass the inner wards; you will need their aid to reach your Foe at the last.
Fear him, for he is older and more cunning than Dragons. Fear his claws in your mind, and the might of his awakened wrath. Above all, fear his Dark Master below. They are terrible.
