This book describes about the time where King Terenas rose taxes on the alliance nations to help keep the orc prisoners inside the internment camps. This created unrest and possibly riots. Archmage Antonidas of Dalaran went to research the orcs' past. He found that the orcs had spiked blood by demons. Brutes gotten increasted strength, endurance and aggression; he concluded this was the result of a withdrawal.

In Barrens the book can be found inside the first tower up the hill in Northwatch Hold.

Comment by ScoobyDew79

Specifically, it's on the top floor.

At this point you can not enter the house in elwynn forrest to get this book

Comment by Berde

Its still there, its on the second floor of the house shown in the picture above. Its on the table outside the bedroom just up the stairs.

Comment by kaliopellane

For Alliance this book is the east-most building at the camp where Marshall Haggard is standing in front. It's on the second floor, on the large table in the center of the room at the top of the stairs.

Comment by rigel

Just tried to read it at 85.3, 69.8, and although I have read it 3 times, it won't mark as read by the achievement system.

I have opened a ticket to flag this as a bug, and am eagerly awaiting a response from a GM.

Comment by snugglebear

The New Horde is also found in this tower. Bottom floor.

Comment by Caoimhe

I had the same problem - read it several times with no credit. Try a /console reloadui - it worked for me after that.

Comment by 519467

For Cataclysm and the Shattering, the Lethargy of the Orcs and the New Horde are both on the bottom floor of the tower by the flight point on top of the hill (to the left of Keep Watcher Kerry)

Coords - 65, 46

Just to add an up to date post really. The book, if ur in Elwynn Forest, is still on the top floor of the house. It is the only 2 storey house in Eastvale logging Camp. Its the building furthest East. If u expand ur mini-map, the house id where the LAST 'G' in logging is.

Marshall Haggard is still outside under the light. Go in house, turn left and up the stairs. The RED book should be in front of u on the table.

Hope this helps

Comment by Lucybella

A little help for horde players
Fly to the top of the tower, and go donw the stairs. You can kill Keep Watcher Kerry and then easily go and read the book, way easier than goin trough the tower ground entrance.

Comment by 118272

Thanks, Lucybella - alas at 52 I am too young to fly :( Have tried the entrance twice so far and been 'moidered' mostly horribly by lvl? guards...here goes, third time lucky!

PS
8 deaths later and 23% Durability - keep bumping into those lvl? guards with xbows :( If I had realised it was the last tower as you follow the road up and round I would have come by back way. Earlier poster is right tho - it's at 65,46 - if only I had read ALL postings before trying

I am undead....very, very undead! But too damn obstinate with it, lol

Comment by darkequation

The tower with the book in Northwatch Hold is now half-destroyed and being filled with Alliance Quest NPCs and Lv85 elite guards, the book itself has been removed, however.
Blizz just can't let Horde Achievementers ease, can they?

Comment by Jeraina

Yeah, I just flew to the top of the tower and before I could get halfway down the tower, an 85 elite guard spawned behind me. Reached the bottom of the tower, saw absolutely no books in sight. Tried to stun the one 85 elite guard, but there were others who spawned. Perhaps going to harass Eastvale Logging Camp will be people's best bets these days.

Comment by Jynxter

I found this today in Eastvale Logging Camp in Elwynn Forest. It is in the house at the back, behind Marshal Haggard. Go the second floor of the building, it is on the table in the middle of the room.

Comment by oogaboogaa

Missed the part where you could land on top of the tower and walk down. As a mage, (after rezzing having blundered into the area the first time) I poly'ed the 85 guard, ran into the tower with the inn keeper, popped invis to lose the aggro from the 85, killed the inn keeper and proceeded to miss the books, sitting there to the left. Climbed to the top of the tower, saw nothing, climbed back down and saw the books.

Comment by Anathaema

You can find "The New Horde" at 65.46 as well.

Comment by 519598

Regarding Northwatch Tower: after I ran in the front door like a noob and the 85 elite guard taught me the error of my ways, I turned my brain on.

I rezzed at the top of the tower, ran down the stairs, paused to Mind Soothe Keep Watcher Kerry to avoid any drama, then I went the rest of the way down and around him - along the right wall - to read the book. (Remember, it's the one on the chair, not the floor!) Ran back up the stairs to the top, mounted and flew off. Victory!

Comment by 955980

Just found The New Horde as well as this book (Lethargy of the Orcs) in the Northwatch Hold Tower (the first up the hill). Note: If you're not lvl 40 you need some help! Keeper Watcher Kerry is guarding the books.

Comment by 933205

The northwatch book is found in the tower farthest up the hill/cliff. It's also the westernmost structure.
The innkeeper is the only Alliance inside the tower, though there are two guards just outside by the door. As an 85, I was able to simply fly right in to the main room at the base of the tower without aggroing the outside guards. The innkeeper is level 40 and looks like a guard, but does not call guards upon aggro. Feel free to kill him!
The book is on a chair on the left side of the room, if you just entered by the door. The New Horde is on the floor right next to it.
There are also no guards at the top of the tower. You can just walk up the stairs and get out having only fought the innkeeper.

Not as bad as you thought, huh?
Happy hunting, and keep your nose to the books! c:

Comment by 900996

I have posted this on several found in the Alliance area. You aggro a level 90 guard as soon as you get close to the door of the areas where the books are located. Just a warning so you are prepared. I barely had time to get to the book, use Psychic Scream, and flip through to get the achievement.

**Side note: I know you don't have to read the book to get the achieve. You just need click. :)

Comment by onelotus

Awesomely easy ty for the tip about dropping onto top of the tower and running down the stairs. I stealthed on my hunter and didn't aggro one mob. :)

Comment by skarpethinn

Update as of Patch 5.2: this book is now in the tower in the back right corner of Northwatch Hold as you face the front gates. There is a lvl 40 PvP innkeeper in the middle of the floor; the books (this one, and The New Horde) are to your left along the wall. If you are able to fly, do so - come in the hole at the top, follow the stairs down, and the books are basically at the foot of the stairs.

Comment by albinoette

All the comments about a tower you can sneak through by flying up to the top are for the location in Southern Barrens. Since I was grabbing a book I could only get in SW/Darnassus and a book only available in Duskwood, the Elwynn Forest location was more convenient for me.
Book is upstairs in the building at 85.07,69.70 in the Eastvale Logging Camp in Elwynn Forest. There is a level 40 20 NPC near the door named Marshal Haggard. I checked the rest of the building for other books and didn't see any.

Go in the door at 85.07,69.70 and take a left to get to the staircase. The book will be on the table in the center of the room when you get upstairs. A guard will spawn when you touch down, kill him, or try to open the book and run out (take a left out the door and then another left to head east towards the hills and there should be no hostile NPCs to bother you, if you head for the road, there is a patrol of beefy guys that will tear you apart if aggro'd).

Comment by Allikat

This book is no longer available in the Northwatch Hold inn in Southern Barrens

Comment by Irisheyes

As of April 2018, I had a heck of a time "seeing" this book to click on it. I ran into the tower (from the top) and when I approached the book (my toon is level 110) the two books disappeared, including this Lethargy book that sits on the chair. I managed to click on the book on the floor, so I got credit for it, but the Lethargy book was gone, yet I got no credit (because it "disappeared" before I could click it). This seemed odd, almost like phasing, but it wasn't phased. I gave up, and as I flew away from the tower, I got some sort of runtime error, so I knew then it was a glitch.

I submitted a ticket, and the next day I got a response that I must be in the wrong area. Nope, I wasn't, and to confirm I revisited the area on a different toon, flew in, saw the books, and confirmed that YES i am in the correct tower. Frustrating!

I decided to reply to the Blizzard response ticket, to plead with them that I still needed help and was in the correct location, so I took three toons (separately) to the tower to get screenshots for the help ticket submission. I took a random 110 mage in the tower, jumped down from top into center, and there was the book....then BAM it disappeared. Aha, I was not crazy! Logged off her, but saw the runtime error. Logged back on my 110 main, flew into the tower, and I saw the books, including the Lethargy book I needed! I quick ran and clicked like my life depended on it, and sure enough, I FINALLY got the achieve...and then the books disappeared into nothingness again.

Moral of my story is...as of Apr 2018, there's some sort of glitch there within that tower, but if you are aware, and are fast enough, you can still click the book(s) for the achieve.

Comment by Melkekartong

Did they remove the book in Southern Barrens?

Comment by Frezen

TL;DR (as of May 2019)
The books are still there, but disappear after a while for some reason. This is how you get them:

Fly to the tower at 65:46
The books are on your left when you enter the tower (one on the chair and the other on the floor right next to it)

If the books are not there or they phase away before you can click them, fly over to Ratchet and back, they will respawn.
There are two lvl 60 guards and one inkeeper, so watch out.
