The Dark Reign camp (+3075, -320) can be found in the Lavastorm Mountains tunnels leading to The Broodlands.

In order to begin more advanced tasks within the Dark Reign camp, you must be of indifferent faction or higher. You can reach this faction by doing various solo or single group tasks.

Wayfarers Mercenaries Varein and Jeryx give out solo tasks on behalf of the Dark Reign at the Wayfarers Camp in Lavastorm (+2250, -35). Upon completing solo tasks you receive platinum and receive the following faction hits:

+ Dark Reign
+ Lanys T`Vyl
- Norrath's Keepers
- Firiona Vie

Once your faction increases enough you can get solo and single group tasks at the Dark Reign Camp from Daleynn Spiritshadow, Pericolo L`Morte, Celrak Blightblood and Talontar. You may only receive group tasks yourself if you are already at indifferent faction, but if you complete them with someone else, you will receive Ebon Crystals which are droppable and can be used to purchase items from Xeib Darkskies, and a Dark Reign Token, which you can turn in to Xeib Darkskies for the aforementioned faction hits. If Xeib Darkskies will not accept your Dark Reign token, you can give it to Wayfarer Mercenary Limann. Eventually Xeib Darkskies will accept your token.


Tier 1: Gift of the Dark Reign

Upon reaching indifferent faction, you are able to do more advanced missions for the evil side.

Begin by speaking with Commander Zaerr Ty`Dar, who will send you to Officer Sirrikis Ryktor.


You say, 'Hail, Officer Sirrikis Ryktor'

You have been assigned the task 'The Burning Poison'.
You have been assigned the task 'Blood of the Basilisk'.
You have been assigned the task 'Clearing the Path'.

Officer Sirrikis Ryktor says 'Perhaps you will find a path to the higher ranks of the Dark Reign -- a place I'm sure I shall find myself someday... someday.'

You receive three tasks:

"The Burning Poison" -- Loot five Caustic Lavaspinner Venoms from Lavaspinner's Lair
"Blood of the Basilisk" -- Loot five Simmering Basilisk Bloods from Tirranun's Delve
"Clearing the Path" -- Kill eight Stillmoon Drakes in Stillmoon Temple

Upon completion of those tasks, speak with Commander Zaerr Ty`Dar to receive a character flag. You will then need to talk to Officer Vacax Rol`Tas for a mission:

"Have Note Will Travel" -- Kill (how many?) goblins in Tirranun's Delve to spawn the Goblin Task Master. Kill the Task Master and loot the Letter from Tirranun. You will now have to kill nine Goblin Guards in various parts of the zone. Upon doing so and zoning out, your task is completed. You receive 33 Ebon Crystals.

Return to the Dark Reign camp and give speak with Commander Zaerr Ty`Dar to receive the following:

-Two AAs
-New ability, Gift of the Dark Reign (enables you to increase maximum of stats by 10)

Head back to the Commander and speak with him. This will flag you for the next step in progression. You will also get flagged for the Tirranun raid (not required for progression).

"Army of Stone" -- Loot five Animated Guardian Essences from Stillmoon Temple

Head back to the Commander and speak with him to receive a flag. Now speak to Officer Vacax Rol`Tas, who gives you yet another mission:

"Drake Eggs" -- In The Ascent, kill drakes until you are able to loot a Drake Egg. This will spawn a Goblin Guard at the zone-in. Kill him, and give the Drake Egg to Celrak Blightblood in the Lavastorm Mountains. Upon doing so, your task is completed and you receive 29-38 Ebon Crystals and a Dark Reign Token.

Speak with Captain Aleeth Zyrv to gain information on the Calling Emoush raid event.

"Muddy the Waters" -- Kill 9 Stillmoon Water Servants in Stillmoon Temple
"Snowfoot Attack" -- Kill 10 Snowfoot Goblins in The Ascent
"Knowledge is Power" -- Loot 7 x Ancient Scroll of Knowledge from Thundercrest Isles

Upon completing these tasks and speaking with the Commander, you will have access to a single group mission and raid event:

"The Gilded Scroll" -- single-group mission given by Officer Vacax Rol`Tas. Go into the Thundercrest Isles and kill mobs, looting scrolls off their corpses. Upon looting the correct one, it will turn into a Gilded Scroll of Earth Rending. After this, kill Noble Kirin Scholar. Do this and turn the gilded scroll in to Daleynn Spiritshadow in Lavastorm for a flag.

"Volkara's Bite" -- 42-player raid in Lavaspinner's Lair, results in Lava Spider Spinners from Volkara, a lava spider.

Give the Lava Spider Spinners to the Commander for a character flag and move on to the next raid event.
