This is a shared task (1-6 players) that begins with Tasnise Underbelly in the Cooling Chamber, location -1355, -890, -282.

You say, 'Hail, Tasnise Underbelly'

Tasnise Underbelly says, 'Ah, that's an odor I haven't sniffed in a while! The Scent of Norrath, the smell of [freedom]!'

You say, 'Freedom?'

Tasnise Underbelly says, 'Aye, freedom! Freedom is the chance to follow your own will, to be your own master. Are you your own [master], _____?'

You say, 'I am my own master!'

Tasnise Underbelly says, 'Ho Ho! You may think you are in control of your own fate, but are you? Would you like to [prove] it? Would you dare to thwart the will of a god in his own realm?'

You say, 'I'll prove it'

Tasnise Underbelly says, 'Brell has ordained that all who enter the Shining City must forsake aggression and bend their will to His. Some find that to be a burden, and they languish in Brell's Rest above until they can bow to Brell. I know of one Dwarf, Eldinn Sturdyboot who draws [near] to Brell, even now.'

You say, 'Near?'

Tasnise Underbelly says, 'Would you thwart Brell's plan? Would you [deny] Eldinn his peace? Can you prove you have a will of your own?'

You say, 'I'll deny him'

Tasnise Underbelly says, 'Haha! Of course you will, and you will be rewarded for doing so, as I'm sure you knew! Take this note and give it to Eldinn Sturdyboot in Brell's Rest. Let's see if he can keep his cool! If the note does not incite him to rage continue to prod until he snaps! If you can't figure out a way to incite him, return to me!'

You have been assigned the task 'Paradise Lost'.

You receive An Insulting Note.



Give Eldinn Sturdyboot the insulting note that Tasnise gave you 0/1 (Brell's Rest)

Eldinn is found at about 1130, -685, -50 (under the bridge to the Underquarry).

Eldinn Sturdyboot says, 'Haha! That's a clever poem! You know there was a time when that note would have sent me into a rage not seen this side of a drunken dwarven head barshin' party! Ah, how times have changed!'

Go pluck Eldinn's Prize White Rose and mangle it 0/1 (Brell's Rest)

A white rose can be found under the east bridge near the lava (343, -301). Put it in an open slot and right click on it to transform it into a mangled white rose.

Give Eldinn Sturdyboot the remains of his mangled rose 0/1 (Brell's Rest)

Eldinn Sturdyboot says, 'My flower! You crushed it! My poor flower! Why would you do that? I - I must remain calm! Calm! Calm. Ah, much better. Brell will surely call me soon when he realisez how calm I am!'

Return and speak with Tasnise in Cooling Chamber for more ideas 0/1 (The Cooling Chamber)

You say, 'Hail, Tasnise Underbelly'

Tasnise Underbelly says, 'Eldinn is tougher than he looks, eh? Well we can fix him. Eldinn has nearly achieved inner peace but his wife, Elmina, still refuses to lay aside the joy of combat. Take these crystals, and seek out Elmina. Capture her soul inside one of these gems. When Eldinn sees his wife contained inside he will be insane with rage! Capture him, too, and return them both to me for your reward!'

You receive 2x Empty Crystal of Containment.

Find Elmina Sturdyboot and capture her soul in the crystal Tasnise gave you 0/1 (Brell's Rest

Elmina Sturdyboot is at location -20, -200, -10 (close to the bottom of the east side of the bridge). Fight her to 20% health and capture her soul with the Empty Crystal Containment.

You managed to trap a soul! Congratulations are in order! The soft sounds of torment coming from your crystal should probably be ignored.

Elmina Sturdyboot becomes insubstantial, like a mist and, with a soft cry, flows quickly towards you!

Speak with Eldinn Sturdyboot and show him the crystal containing his wife's soul 0/1 (Brell's Rest)

Eldinn Sturdyboot says, 'What - what have you done? My wife? My WIFE! I'll kill you! I'll rip you apart with my bare hands! DIE!'

Capture Eldinn the way you captured Elmina! 0/1 (Brell's Rest)

You managed to trap a soul! Congratulations are in order! The soft sounds of torment coming from your crystal should probably be ignored.

Eldinn Sturdyboot becomes insubstantial, like a mist and, with a soft cry, flows quickly towards you!

Return both crystals to Tasnise in Cooling Chamber for your reward 0/1 (Brell's Rest)

Go back to Tasnise and give him both crystals for the final reward:

Tasnise Underbelly cackles in glee, 'You have done me a great service, young one. These crystals will prove invaluable for my, ah, work. Here is your reward. So, tell me, do you feel like your own Master now? Haha!'

I'm pretty sure I gave the insulting letter and mangled rose to Elmina and got the updates. Because I only went to Eldinn when it was time to capture his soul. I'll try again just to be sure.

Capture him, too, and return them both to me for your reward!'

Tasnise gives you 2 Empty Crystal of Containment.

When you capture Elmina's soul, there's a yellow text :

You managed to trap a soul! Congratulations are in order! The soft sounds of torment coming from your crystal should probably be ignored.

followed by a white text :

Elmina Sturdyboot becomes insubstantial, like a mist and, with a soft cry, flows quickly towards you!
