Walkthrough
After you have accepted the quest, make your way to the monolith temple in the southwestern part of the map. There you have to fight a few Margonite groups and you can claim the Ancient Tome of Knowledge. The tome itself is actually lying on the ground at the temple entrance. On your way back, along the path leading out of the southwestern corner, two more Margonite groups will spawn in an attempt to stop you from leaving; but since your party is inside Junundu, they should pose little threat.

Initial dialogue
Infantryman Hareh
 * "Braaiiiins! It's all about brains around here! Just because I'm not a scholar I can't be a commanding officer! Everyone's always giving me orders, telling me what to do... And of course, when the plan goes to hell, it's always blamed on the lowly peons like me. If only I was smarter I could convince someone to give me a chance... then things would go better around here. Maybe you could go to the old temple in the Sulfurous Wastes and get me an ancient tome of knowledge! I bet if I spent a few days reading over it, I'd have all the brains I need."

Reward dialogue
Infantryman Hareh
 * "Wow, you got it! Thanks so much. Now I can finally become the officer I was meant to be instead of just a lowly gentleman! And to think, dad said I'd never amount to anything. I sure showed him! That tome looks pretty thick, though.... I hope there aren't too many big words in there."

Trivia

 * The name of the quest is possibly a reference to the movie "Requiem for a Dream."
 * The remark about becoming an officer instead of a lowly gentleman is possibly a reference to the movie "An officer and a gentleman"
 * The opening word in the opening dialogue is possibly inspired by the undead zombies of Diablo II who say "Braaiiiins!" just as they are entering melee range.
