its the same quest as all other races where you kill 20 adult mammoths and 40 darkroot shamans but here is what the book says:
Humans have always been resourceful, known for their adaptability and cleverness when a situation is not favorable to their desires. Many of the other races of Norrath consider this a flaw, saying that the flexibility of Humans also causes in them an inability to remain stable and build upon their past. Humans see this as their greatest gift. They point to their established cities, long-held traditions and powerful role in history as evidence of their gift. In these volumes it is proposed that one of the strongest bonds between generations fo Humans, one of the things that keeps them stable and strong while still allowing them freedom to express themselves, are their symbols. Shown inHuman art, architecture and clothing, these volumes concentrate more on their use on armor and insignia.
This volume focuses on the oldest insignia of the royal houses of Humans. An astounding number of ancient military insignia, crest and banners are shown on these pages. There is surprisingly little text on any of the pages, often just a label telling where these symbols were found. The lack of text and the order of the symbols forces the reader into a state of mind that makes teh entire text perfectly clear. That is, unless the reader is not Human. Non-Human readers are generally confounded by the images, though some claim to find them "interesting".
Among the pages of discussion about these symbols is a pattern. THis pattern combines ancient symbols with several of the symbols discussed in earlier volumes to produce the most potent symbol of Human culture you have ever seen. You know that you will be able to reproduce this pattern many times before the book becomes worn and you must replace it.
To create a pattern for tailoring armor templates based on these patterns you will need this book, a large bottle of ink, a roll of superb vellum, a quill and a compacted backpack to hold the patterns you will make. You will also need a book binding to do the work.
