Lorekeeper Cerren will request you kill Lord Greyclaw with her. But before you do so she would like some food and drink for the trip. You are tasked to make one Wyvern Wrap, one Southern Ale Bread, and one Honey Mead.
 
Once you've given these items to Cerren she will tell you to meet her within Dragon Necropolis just outside the rat city. She will trigger spawn when you walk through the tunnel leading to the rat city. Once you talk with her you initiate an event where she walks to Lord Greyclaw's room, killing everything along the way. I suggest clearing the way to Lord Greyclaw prior to initiating the event. Once Cerren reaches the entrance to Greyclaw's room she will stop and wait for you to hail her. Be aware that once you hail her she will run into the room and spawn Lord Greyclaw. Cerren doesn't have much health so you must engage quickly. Once you've defeated Lord Greyclaw a bag will spawn in the bone hand he was standing on with a book. Loot this quickly as you only have about 30 seconds before a large horde of 65 rats rushes Cerren's position. Return to Lurek and give her the book and your aug. She will give you your second aug.

You say, 'Hail, Lorekeeper Cerren'
Lorekeeper Cerren says, 'Oh, are you set? Let's keep a quick pace, so they don't see us coming. Try to keep up, <Player Name>. It's very important that you do not alert Greyclaw to our presence until we can pin him in his room. If he knows about us before that, he'll ditch the book. Wait for my orders, <Player Name>.'

As Lord Greyclaw's body crumples to the ground, there is a brief shimmering on his throne.
Lorekeeper Cerren says, 'Oh, there it is! Hurry and get it before...uh oh, too late!'
Lorekeeper Cerren gulps.
Lorekeeper Cerren says, 'This doesn't look good for the home team, <Player Name>. Get that book and get out of here. I'll try to hold them off!'
The Berserk Ratmen rush Lorekeeper Cerren, snarling and frothing at the mouth.

Gather and give A Worn Book to Lurek, Priest of Lore (The Grand Library  at -744, -144  •)

Lurek, Priest of Lore says, 'Oh my, you and Cerren did it! I've wanted this book for ages! Where's Cerren? I want to congratulate her on a job very well done.'
You say, 'Cerren didn't make it.'
Lurek, Priest of Lore says, 'That's absurd. Stop joking around with me. Where is she?'
You say, 'I'm sorry. It's true.'
