An interesting point here: in the order in which I collected these books (what is written above) I have always done this quest, but recently it turned out that this is the only right way: if you come to Elder Casian without the first three books in hand, he will not give you the final task but will tell you to find those books first and then show them to him.

Scripture Chapter 4.We knock everything out, carry it to Elder Casian and get the fourth book.
Hunters Village. Return to Elder Cronos by the bridge. You receive:

Town of Dion. Return to Magister Mirien in the temple. You receive:
Mark of Scholar.We return to Dion to Magister Mirien and get the mark Mark of Scholar.
After that everybody goes to do the second (racial) quests. The Necromancer, the Sorcerer and the Warlock go to do the quest for all the humans, Testimony of Trust. The Phantom Summoner and the Spellhowler do the quest for the dark elves, Testimony of Fate. The Elemental Summoner and the Spellsinger the quest for the light elves, Testimony of Life.
Tips
