“Norgannon’s shell is within our reach,Vikstone. Take the inventor’s disk into the library’s interior. There should be a console there that you can activate with the disk. I imagine Mimir stored more there than just Norgannon’s shell. There are probably enough schematics stored there to keep Ironforge’s engineers occupied for years!
Anyway, use the disk to recover the shell. Hopefully, Mimir hasn’t decided to put any more obstacles in our way.”

Quick Facts
Walkthrough
Fly to the Inventor’s Library. The entrance is at approximately [38, 45] on the Maker’s Terrace. You can fly directly inside to bypass the Library Guardians patrolling the entrance.
The Inventor’s Library Console is inside the building at [37.4, 46.8], on the right side as you enter. It has a sparkly highlight. Right-click the console (or right-click the disk in your inventory near it) to insert the disk and complete the quest. The console responds with: “Inventor’s disk authenticated. Welcome back, Keeper Mimir.”
The follow-up quest, Norgannon’s Shell, is available immediately. Use Brann’s Communicator to contact Brann and accept it.
Tips
Lore Context
Brann says: “I imagine Mimir stored more there than just Norgannon’s shell. There are probably enough schematics stored there to keep Ironforge’s engineers occupied for years!” This underscores the staggering depth of titan knowledge stored in these facilities and why the Explorers’ League is so invested in accessing them.
The console’s authentication response is a significant detail: it greets you as “Keeper Mimir.” The security system was designed for Mimiron himself, and the disk you assembled essentially spoofs his credentials. This is the titan equivalent of using someone else’s login.
Norgannon is a member of the Pantheon (the titan council), not a Keeper. He is the titan who empowered Mimiron and created the Discs of Norgannon, the true historical record of Azeroth.
Those original Discs were stolen by Keepers Tyr and Archaedas when they discovered Loken’s corruption, and taken south to Uldaman. In response, Loken created the Tribunal of Ages in the Halls of Stone as a falsified replacement. The “keystone” Brann is trying to recover here is related to Norgannon’s archives, meaning Brann’s investigation runs parallel to the revelations players discover in the Halls of Stone dungeon.

Vikstone's War Journal“Norgannon’s shell is within our reach,” Brann said. “Take the inventor’s disk into the library’s interior. There should be a console there that you can activate with the disk. I imagine Mimir stored more there than just Norgannon’s shell. There are probably enough schematics stored there to keep Ironforge’s engineers occupied for years!”
He heard himself get away from the point and hauled himself back to it.
“Anyway, bring the disk to the console. Hopefully, Mimir hasn’t decided to put any more obstacles in our way.”
Inside, the walls were working. Not loudly. There was a pressure to the air of the kind you get standing near a mill wheel two rooms away.
The console had an opening in it cut exactly to the shape of the disk. I put the disk in.
Lights came up along seams I had not been able to see until they lit, and something spoke out of the machine in a voice with no person behind it.
“Inventor’s disk authenticated. Welcome back, Keeper Mimir.”
Welcome back.
The machine took Vikstone for a Keeper and opened everything Mimir had filed away behind that door. Only one thing in it mattered and that was Norgannon’s Shell.
