He must have hidden it elsewhere.' The pirate sighs. 'I did manage to find this rune though! Here, you should take it.' The pirate hands you a valuable looking rune. 'I found this in Blackrot's lair. That is your share of the treasure, I'll keep the rest since I kept those other creatures off your back!' And with that the pirate turns and wanders off. You gain 4,766,366 XP and 'Rune of Horde'.
