This is the third task in a series of five (the end result being your 70th level spell/tome). It begins with Jarzarrad the Prophet who can be found in Undershore at -960, +650.

It's a monster mission which can be done by players as low as level 50 (possibly lower - 50 is the lowest confirmed).

You say, 'Hail, Jarzarrad the Prophet'

Jarzarrad the Prophet says 'I know why you are here, _____.' He nods as you approach. 'I have known why you'd be here since before you were born. You are the _____ who will learn the secrets of [Shadowspine].''

You say, 'Shadowspine?'

Jarzarrad the Prophet says 'Yessss, Shadowspine. . . The drachnid book of the dead. . . The tome stolen by the Shiliskin Empire during the War of Four Crests. Shadowspine corrupted Emperor Draygun and drove him mad with the promise of power. Ultimately, Draygun's study of the tome led him to unleash terrible magic in Illsalin which turned him into a lich and bound the fallen warriors of two armies, both drachnid and shiliskin, to his will. You may not even know of Shadowspine yet. . . But you will. . . Let me know when you are [ready] to trace your fate.'

You say, 'I am ready'

Jarzarrad the Prophet says 'So be it. Here is what you must do. '

There are two versions of this task: Normal and hard. The only difference between them is the quality of loot and difficulty of mobs.

You have been assigned the task 'The Fall of Illsalin'

Monster template choices: Praetorean Priest, Enchanter, Rogue, Wizard and Warrior.



Speak with Brother Stillpool, Jarzarrad's Disciple 0/1 (Undershore)

You say, 'Hail, Brother Stillpool'

Jarzarrad's disciple extends one of the shiliskin royal guard skulls out to you and nods for you to place your hand on it. As you do, he raises his other hand which holds a fine dust of crushed deathshed mushrooms which he blows in your face. Your entire field of vision goes black. When your mind clears, you are in a different body in a different place and quite likely, a different time. . .

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Illsalin Marketplace.

The door behind you is bolted shut. Beyond it, you hear the muffled sounds of a fierce battle and the screams of dieing soldiers. On the other side of the vast room, you see shiliskin hurriedly preparing for a siege. Emperor Draygun appears to be among them. . .

Speak with Emperor Draygun 0/1 (Imperial Bazaar)

You say, 'Hail, Emperor Draygun'

Emperor Draygun says 'Praetorian, where have you been? The drachnid forces have almost breeched this chamber! Hold them off! I need time to wrest our salvation from Shadowspine.'

Fend off the Incoming War Swarm Invaders 0/1 (Imperial Bazaar)

Kill the Drachnid Commander 0/1 (Imperial Bazaar)

You hear a dull crash as the drachnid battering ram hits the reinforced chamber door.

A shiliskin legionnaire yells, 'The door won't hold much longer! Gather your blades! Defend the emperor!'

It is recommended you set yourselves up in the room behind Emperor Draygun, with the shiliskin legionnaires.

The door buckles as its heavy coral bolt explodes inward. Drachnids pour in. 'Fan out!' their commander barks. 'If it has less than eight legs, kill it!'

The foundation of the entire city rumbles as something massive slams into the city gate.

A shiliskin runner shouts, 'Emperor Draygun! The Korlach leviathan has turned on the city! Our priests have lost control! We need to evacuate!'

Kill off several drachnids in the first wave to spawn a second wave. The second wave includes Commander Oboroth.

You have slain Commander Oboroth!

The commander drops either a Hammer of Striking or a Shiliskin Commoner's Shawl, as well as six Shards of Wisdom. Have each group member loot a shard.

Speak with Emperor Draygun 0/1 (Imperial Bazaar)

Now speak with Emperor Draygun, who then turns into Lich Emperor Draygun.

I have it! The ritual is complete! My army shall never fall! Now, all who stand in Illsalin, embrace death and be reforged in the eternal strength of Shadowspine.

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered The Undershore.

Speak with Jarzarrad the Prophet 0/1 (Undershore)

Return to Jarzarrad in Undershore.

Well done. You are proving to be most resourceful. Now that you have seen the power of Shadowspine unleashed firsthand, you will be resistant to its draining effects when you confront Draygun in the future. Speak with Jarzarrad when you're [ready] to proceed on your quest.



The Hammer of Striking transmutes to:
Glowing Coral-Encrusted Maul (level 51-60)
??? (level 61-70)

The Shiliskin Commoner's Shawl transmutes to:
Shilgrave Lieutenant's Mantle (level 51-60)
Pristine Shroud of the Fallen Guard (level 61-70)



A fourth task, "Flights of the Seeker", follows this one.

Do you remember being an illsalin, fighting waves of spiders that break into the room, then moving to the named up at the front?

That would be the way.
