When you complete the quest by returning Sylvanas's necklace to her, the Blood Elf nearby whispers something to you when the event completes. When you go to him and ask him what he has for you, he gives you this book with the lyrics.

Alliance's counterpart is Nolkai's Band. It serves no in-game purpose but it's obtainable from quest.

The quest which allows you to obtain this is called The Lady's Necklace, which starts from an item also called The Lady's Necklace, dropped by Fallen Rangers and Deatholme Acolytes in the Ghostlands.

The book itself is a translation of the "Lament of the Highborne," sang Lady Sylvanas Windrunner when you return the necklace to her, since she sings in Thalassian (the language of the Blood Elves).

You can playback the song ingame using this macro provided you have Burning Crusade installed.

If you destroy this book, and for some strange reason decide you actually wanted to keep it, just talk to the NPC again and he'll give you a new one.

Although the quest and the beautiful song are full of lore there are two major flaws in the song and music video.
If the song is named Lament of the Highborne the song should be talking about Quel'dorei and not Sin'dorei that is the equivalent to Blood Elf.
And at the music video when the Scourge army invades Quel'thalas, we see banshees at the middle of then and anyone that played Warcraft 3 knows that the first banshee of the Arthas' army was none other then Sylvanas.
To those that haven't see the official movie yet, here is the link

Artistic license ;> The song is so captivatingly beautiful... I don't want to think it's flawed. But it isn't really... if you don't take it so literally.

From wowpedia
The blood elves (aka Sin'dorei or sin'dorei which means "children of the blood" in Thalassian) are a race composed of former high elves who renamed themselves in honor of their people that were killed during the siege of Quel'Thalas by the Scourge during the Third War.

It refers to the blood elves in the song, but the blood elves were formed from those who survived the war. So why can't we sing to the Blood Elves in the song, descendants of the Highborne?

Also the translation is pretty loose, but take the name Lament of the Highborne...
It could mean Lament for...? Lament about...? Lament to...? Lament by...? It's too ambiguous to be certain.

I just think you are looking for errors in the wrong places ;> The video, which you don't see ingame, is just added for flavour and they added images to a song people might want to listen to on the website.

The song dates back clear to the War of the Ancients and was written originally by the Night Elves. Durring the Troll Wars, the Quel'dorei sang the Lament, altering its lyrics. The song was likely altered again durring and after the fall of Quel'thalas. Likely, each version of the song used "Kaldorei", "Quel'dorei" and "Sin'dorei" respectively to fit each tribute, though the melody of the song is said to have remained the same over the millenia.

Something I noticed. After completing this quest I left the item in my bank & kinda forgot about it. Recently I switched factions.... and still have it! I guess that might be because its classified as junk rather than a quest reward.

Lament of the Highborne - Better Version

The song plays as background music in The Crimson Hall in Icecrown Citadel - appropriate, with the area being populated by San'layn (ex-Highbourne 'vampires').

This makes a great Rosetta Stone if you want to learn Thalassian for god knows what reason.

Beutiful song, make a macros of the song by doing what ladybird says, turn your volume on tops and keep hitting the key that activates the macros, it soon sounds very spooky.

I always make sure I do this quest on every toon. I love the song, and her, especially since her form was updated.

Comentado por SuperJudgeJudy

Just going to go ahead and update this for 4.0.3a;

This quest is still fully functioning, and it drops from the same place, and has the same turn in.

Enjoy this treasure of a quest :)

I made a few videos for it. One where you turn in the quest:

Laura Shigihara did a positively beautiful cover of the song a few months ago. It's actually better than the original (if that's possible!).

Her version is my ringtone. :D

Just got this fun toy today. Noticed something strange about it...

If you listen to the music backwards during a full moon while standing on your head reading "Rise of the Lich King" and wearing dragon underpants, you can hear a secret Masonic ritual and the recipe for Mrs. Fields chocolate chip cookies whispered by Morgan Freeman. Try it yourself, it really works.

If anybody is wanting to macro the song in Dragonflight, this'll get it playing:
