This is the first monster mission in a series of three which lead up to the 24-person raid monster mission, The Fall of an Empire.
"a forgotten noble" (location -3260, +2535 in Trakanon's Teeth) tells you to find Tulok. You say, 'Hail, a forgotten noble' a forgotten noble says 'The book. Charged, was I, with its safekeeping. All was well until that fateful day: the day of the fall. They descended upon us with horrible fury. I could not fulfill my task. The failure will haunt me. I will haunt this grave . . . until the end of time. An eternity of unrest awaits unless I can uncover the whereabouts of the ancient book of the dead. You, mortal . . . you must seek them out. Find Tulok the Folklorist and the Spirit of Kotiz. They can help pinpoint the location! Kotiz is nearby. Tulok wanders the Emerald Jungle.' Tulok may be found at +4015, +3465 in the Emerald Jungle, in some ruins on the plateau in the northwest corner of the zone. You say, 'Hail, Tulok' Tulok says 'Ssssoo, what is a Halfling doing out this far from home? Now that you have. . .found me. . .what can I, Tulok, a mere [historian] do for you?' You say, 'Historian?' Tulok says 'During my long yearssss I have collected many talessss and other bitssss of hisssstory. For instancccce I have dissscovered more about the iksssar [dark lord] himssself, Venril Sssathir.' You say, 'Dark lord?' Tulok says 'Yesss. As Venril asssscended to the iksssar throne, he had many rebellionsss to crusssh beneath hisss heel. One uprising represssented the final obssstacle to controlling the entire continent. It wassss later known assss the [First Slaves' War].' You say, 'First Slaves' War?' Tulok says 'Asss the forcesss of Venril marched acrossss the face of the continent, ssssome of the other races willingly ssssubmitted before them. Othersss fled entirely, leaving whole citiesss to rot. Still fewer joined together in hopes of sssstopping the iksssar horde. The War of the First Slave's would sssseee [froglok and giant] ally in desperation.' You say, 'Froglok and giant?' Tulok says 'Ccccorrect. froglok and Mountain giantsss allied to defend againssst the forcesss of the dark lord. During the war, however, there wasss an impasse. The froglokssss proved to be sssskillful tacticiansss. And of courssse the mountainousss terrain of the battlefield aided the giantsss' ability to fight. Till Venril had a [plan].' You say, 'A plan?' Tulok says 'Yesss. He sssent in a small cccadre of iksssar ssshock troopsss. While the majority of Venril'ssss forcesss kept the froglokkkk and mountain giant armiesss bussssy, the sssmall band of elite sssoldiers sssnuck into the giant fort and ssslew the leadersss of the rebellion. If you clossee your eyessss, I bet you can almossst hear the sssoundsss of battle drawing [closer].' You are offered a group task called "One Shall Rule Them All." You have been assigned the task 'One Shall Rule Them All'. You are part of an elite cadre of Iksar Troops who have been given a special assignment. Whilst the rest of the Iksar Army keeps much of the Giant & Froglok Forces occupied, you must sneak into the Giant Stronghold and assassinate the five leaders of the opposing forces. Without these important officials, the enemy will surely crumble. Quickly head to the location of the Giant Fortress as our spies inform us that a Froglok Emissary is about to leave and seek out additional allies. Monster options include level 45 Monk, Shadowknight, and Shaman. You say, 'Closer?' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered Frontier Mountains. You zone in a little ways south of the giant fort. An Iksar named Zathrin greets you and will port you out if you ask him to do so. You say, 'Hail, Zathrin' Zathrin says 'Hurry you foolsss. . .I won't be able to transssport you back. . .if you don't hurry up!. . .Our army won't be able. . .to occupy their forcesss much longer sssso you must. . .kill their commanderssss now. . .But if you are. . .a coward. . .then let me you that you are [ready to leave].' Discover the location of the Giant Fortress 0/1 (Frontier Mountains) As you move toward the fort, you'll need to watch out for the giant patrols, each of which has approximately 13 giants: 1 Giant Patrol Leader, 6-8 soldiers, and 4-6 shaman. You can avoid them and head to the hill directly out from the entrance to the fort. Stay far away from the entrance as 1-2 patrols circle the fort. This step updates as you approach the fort. As you begin to crest the hill that the fortress stands upon, you hear the beginnings of a massive battle to the west. Under the ensuing confusion, the froglok emissary begins to make his departure to The Overthere. Your task 'One Shall Rule Them All' has been updated. Prevent the Emissary from going to the Overthere 0/1 (Frontier Mountains) The froglok emissary is heading to the Overthere. He must be stopped at all costs! You'll see a froglok emissary being escorted by a Giant Bruiser and Giant Shaman. Kill these three to receive the next task update. Kill Tactician Zarius 0/1 (Frontier Mountains) Kill Commander Kreegun 0/1 (Frontier Mountains) Kill General Githyun 0/1 (Frontier Mountains) Kill Commander Muglom 0/1 (Frontier Mountains) Kill General Kraglok 0/1 (Frontier Mountains) The tactician, one of the generals, and one commander spawn on the upper level of the fort. The other general and commander are located at the very end of the mine tunnel in the fort. Upon killing all five, you receive another task update. Escape the Giant Fortress and report back to Zathrin 0/1 (Frontier Mountains) Zathrin is in the ruins where you zoned in. Hail him. Loot your Shards of Wisdom and the reward loot (from what? a chest?), and tell Zathrin "I am ready to leave," at which point you are teleported back out. Common loot is Scaled Jewel, which transmutes to: ???? (level 1-10) ???? (level 11-20) ???? (level 21-30) ???? (level 31-40) ???? (level 41-50) Greater Scaled Jewel (level 51-60) Flawless Scaled Jewel (level 61-70) Rare loot is Scaleclaw Cowl, which transmutes to: ???? (level 1-10) ???? (level 11-20) ???? (level 21-30) ???? (level 31-40) ???? (level 41-50) Adorned Scaleclaw Cowl (level 51-60) Ornate Scaleclaw Cowl (level 61-70) Completing the mission unlocks the second mission, "To Raise the King." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

pulled emissary on his way out. the 2 giants that follow him are leashed. don't bother trying to seperate them.. the best you can do is kite the giants either with the monk or the sk.
pulled a named out of the fort and at least five giants before moving in. two frog named are located in the middle southern hut and the SW hut. after those two named are dead, move into the tunnel entrance. pull the roamers then split the named. run back to zithran and claim your prize.
Dropped cowl. Took 70 minutes. Go Team Snakeman

To get this quest (with my grp), we simply hailed Tulok and said "closer". He is found in a set of ruins in the extreme NW corner of EJ. After you say the word, you are ported to a building in an instanced zone of Frontier Mountains close to the bottom center, not far from the Temple of Droga zone-in (if you try to zone to Droga though, it ports you right back to the FM zone-in...might be a possible way to clear agro, hmm...).
There are no mobs in this zone other than giants and frogloks. There will be a number of giant patrols around, including around the zone-in so be careful when you scout. Each patrol has a patrol leader giant and ~10 soldiers (or whatever).
Start the quest by running to the giant fort that is north of you. There is only one entrance and that is at the east wall. Camp outside the entrance, well away from the paths of the two patrols that go around the outside of the fort walls. There will also be a patrol that stops east of your camp but you can keep clear of them. There will also be one or two wandering single giants that will cross your camp. The respawn rate is very slow however, so when you kill them you probably won't encounter them again.
My grp caught the named froglok emissary just ouside the gate, but I don't know which direction he came from nor about previously mentioned frog guards( I got to the scene too late).
After that, we started pulling single giants from the fort, being careful to do so when the patrols were not close. We started with the two guards stationed at the entrance, then with the semi-wanderers inside and continued until all but the frogs in the south huts were cleared. We think the giants agro thru the fort walls, so when you make a camp in the fort, keep to the center (by the campfire) or at the tunnel entrance thats on the north edge of the fort.
After the clearing, we headed into the tunnel to get the wanderers (two I think) and the two names that are at the tunnel end, but (in retrospect) a better idea would have been to get the names that are in the south huts first. Ifyou do the tunnel first then you may be fighting respawns by the time you get to the huts.
I forgot where each of the names are...I do recall that Githyun was in a corner of the SE hut...I think Muglom and Zarius where the two at the back of the tunnel...another named was in the SW hut and I believe another was in the south center hut.
After the last named is killed, the chest will appear at the zone-in. Its advised that no one open the chest until everyone is safely there, as it has the usual 7 min corpse timer. The chest will have the usual 6 shards plus an armor piece. Ours was the Ornate Scaleclaw Cowl. I don't know if others drop as well.
If you get a good system going, you might be able to do this mission in an hour. Unfortunately I did not note how much xpAA I got.
Good luck,

You can play as a level 50 (I think) monk, shaman or SK.
Recommend a group of 6. We tried with 2 shaman (have cheal and taunt lol) 2 monks and a SK. Sadly our SK was played by a cleric and had no idea on tanking and our monks had never pulled before. MMs are fun but you have to stick with what you know I guess.
Giants run around Frontier Mountains in packs of 6-10. They are very tightly grouped. There is a leader of each pack. They are fairly easy to avoid.
Your first objective is to get a visual on the fort. You will get a task update when you do. Then there is a zone emote about the froglok making a dash for the OT zoneline. The froglok con'd yellow to us and he as two guards. We never managed to kill him cause the monks couldn't split and the SK couldn't keep agro of the healers. It is possible to intercept the froglok at the fort's east gate. Unsure of the best strategy.
Common: Flawless Scaled Jewel
Rare: Ornate Scaleclaw Cowl
