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
==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.
