This one was a little bit interesting, as the original quest depends on an npc, Hansl Bigroon, dropping one of the quest items as he walks away. To the best of my knowledge (someone please let me know if I'm wrong), this isn't possible with the quest system, so I worked around it by having him create a proximity as he leaves. A player entering the proximity gets the item and a message, and the proximity is cleared.

Database additions/changes needed:
The "sealed list" dropped by Hansl does not currently have any text entered for it, so it needs to be added to the "Books" table.
name: ListOfEngineers
text: "Antonius Bayle,
Here is the list of the three engineers who will aid in the design of the Great Span.
Jogl Doobraugh - Ak'Anon
Trantor Everhot - Kaladim
Purchin Oddsbot - Freeport"
None of the three engineer npcs currently have loot table entries. They should be as follows (all drops are 100%)
Jogl Doobraugh (56109) - Gnome Decapitated Head (13840)
Purchin Oddsbot (6074) - Human Decapitated Head (13838)
Trantor Everhot (67033) - Dwarf Decapitated Head (13839)
Finally, I don't believe the spawn settings for Jogl Doobraugh (56109, spawngrp 4816) are correct. He currently shares a 50/50 spawn with Charlotte the mechanical spider. I know I often saw these two up together back when I played. They had almost an owner/pet relationship. I don't know exactly how it should be set up, just that they shouldn't share a spawn.
Cavedude, is there a preferred way to submit required database additions/changes? In most cases, I don't know what the ID# for new things should be, so I've just been listing the relevant information, but let me know if there's a more convenient way to format it.
Erudin: The Bridge
The proximity usage was very clever, and is a great workaround I feel.
