Ssynthi may be found at -55, 385, in the graveyard behind the mausoleum.

This was one of the quests that was revealed through the d20 Everquest Role-Playing Game.


You say, 'A new breed of shadowed man walks Norrath. What can you tell me of the deathspeakers?'

Ssynthi says 'Ah, so the deathspeakers have decided to reveal themselves again. They are beings who claim they are closer to the realms of the dead than any other known race, and they have been known to rally the shadowed men in times when they deem other races to be dabbling too much in the powers of death and rebirth. Just as shadowed men as a whole despise those of us who follow Solusek Ro because they deem all of magic to have sprung from themselves.'

You say, 'Could it concern the Burning Dead's plan to resurrect Marnek?'

Ssynthi says 'Marnek, you say?! I admit that rumors have come to me concerning an alliance between the Temple of Ro and the Burning Dead, and perhaps this is the goal of that union. I must therefore act, for who knows the shadowed men better than I? But I cannot leave this place right now. Will you help me in this task?'

You say, 'I will help you.'

Ssynthi says 'Then take this and collect within the drops of shadow that spill when a deathspeaker is killed. There will be a deathspeaker wherever shadowed men can be found, but even more important is the location of Ytyrs the Reborn. His shadow must be collected as well. And have care not to mix this shadow stuff with drink lest you unleash a dangerous magic.'

You receive an 8-slot Cauldron of Shadow Essence. Go to each of the shadowed men camps (locations needed):

Innothule Swamp
Nektulos Forest
Lavastorm Mountains
Lesser Faydark
South Karana
Commonlands
Kithicor Forest

A rare drop at each camp is a Vial of Shadow. Each vial identifies differently:

Innothule Swamp - Shadow of the first Deathspeaker
Nektulos Forest - Shadow of the second Deathspeaker
Lavastorm Mountains - Shadow of the third Deathspeaker
Lesser Faydark - Shadow of the fourth Deathspeaker
South Karana - Shadow of the fifth Deathspeaker
Commonlands - Shadow of the sixth Deathspeaker
Kithicor Forest - Shadow of the seventh Deathspeaker

Find Ytyrs the Reborn in the Rathe Mountains at -750, -1580. Kill it to spawn Ytyrs Reborn, who spawns with several of "a minion of Ytyrs." Kill Ytyrs Reborn for the eighth Vial of Shadow, which identifies as "Shadow of Ytyrs the Reborn."

Combine the eight vials in the cauldron to craft a Concoction of Shadow and give that to Ssynthi to receive a Penumbral Rod, an item with 3 charges of Shadow Burst.

No dialogue on turnin. Just XP and the Rod.

Oddly Ssynthi has nothing to say when the Concoction of Shadow is given to it:

[Tue May 16 07:44:42 2023] You offered 1 Concoction of Shadow to Ssynthi.
[Tue May 16 07:44:47 2023] Your faction standing with Temple of Solusek Ro has been adjusted by 25.
[Tue May 16 07:44:47 2023] Your faction standing with Shadowed Men has been adjusted by -1.
[Tue May 16 07:44:47 2023] You gain experience! (0.003%) - (Completed at level 75)
[Tue May 16 07:44:47 2023] You complete the trade with Ssynthi.

Ytyrs

Upon the death of Ytyrs the Reborn, (negative 710, negative 1530 is the loc)

Ytyrs Reborn shouts, 'Do not yet celebrate your victory mortals. I, Ytyrs, am reborn again and the fire of my rebirth will send you eternally to the side of your cursed burning god!"

He casts Rain of Lava....so I'm assuming a mage. Easy kill at high level.

Shadowed men worse.
Temple of Solusek ro better as faction hits.

They removed the shadowed men when they put in gukta and made the zone totally for newbies whenever they made frogloks playable. I took a tracker in just to make sure yesterday and they definitely arent there.
Where?

Where do you get the Innothule portion of this quest now that they have removed the shadowed men from that zone?
faction hits

faction hits on shadowed men are, your faction with shadowed men got worse and your faction with temple of sol ro got better.
