    This is one of the new quests added in the 2/15/2017 Kunark quest patch. Some item links are still being worked on while the item collector is down.

    Find Rthsirez in the Cabilis SK guild down some ladders in the eastern tower.

    You say, 'Hail, Rthsirez'

    Rthsirez tilts his head and exhales, his breath a stuttering hiss, 'Greetings, Froglok. What brings you to me? Perhaps you are in search of knowledge? Aaahhh, yes. Of course. Why else would you come to one such as I? However, I am quite held up with a particular case of my own study and may not be one for conversation beyond the [subject of my current attentions:What's the subject you are currently studying?].'

    You say, 'What's the subject you are currently studying?'

    Rthsirez says, 'I am currently studying an ancient and lost method of containing power -- to be precise, a specific method that turns that the incorporeal into something of tangible use and great power to those of us who wield the magics of fear. It is... almost irritating, this research, as I find myself unable to press forward. A [specific scroll:I will retrieve this scroll.], one very necessary to this study, is lost to me and none of my apprentices have been able to retrieve it.'

    You say, 'I will retrieve this scroll.'

    Rthsirez says, 'Will you now, Froglok? Very well. I shall not object to your assistance in this matter. The scroll I require is made of the flayed flesh of the sarnak. It is understandable that they treasure this relic, for it is the flesh of one of their fallen royalty. Bring this scroll to me, Froglok, and perhaps you'll have my appreciation... and a reward.'

    The Flayed Sarnak Hide Scroll drops from sorcerers of Di`Zok deep inside Chardok, a pretty common drop

    Give the Flayed Sarnak Hide Scroll to Rthsirez

    Rthsirez says, 'Aaaah, excellent, Froglok. You have returned the scroll in one piece. Miraculously, you are in one piece as well. How truly marvelous. With the missing piece of my linguistic research, I'm finally able to complete the translation of a piece of ancient literature. Froglok, take these Words of Terror to my colleague, Sarviksa Tiths. Once you complete a task that I am sure she will need of you, Froglok, Sarviksa shall give you the Invocation of Fear, which you shall return to me with the [further items:What further items?], if you wish to receive your just reward.'

    Your faction standing with Scaled Mystics has been adjusted by 5.
    Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis has been adjusted by 1.

    You say, 'What further items?'

    Rthsirez says, 'How fortunate for you, Froglok, for you know not the reward that awaits if we are successful! Beside the Invocation of Fear I will need the Tome of the Corrupter that resides in the tomb of Drusella, Dull Black Ore from the Hole, and a Dented Battle Shield. If, and only if, you deliver me these four items, Froglok, will you receive your reward.'

    Sarviksa can be found at the top of the western tower in the Cabilis SK guild

    Give Sarviksa the Words of Terror

    Sarviksa Tiths says, 'Though Rthsirez's delays have been... displeasing, I must admit that we are fortunate to have this translation. I see that you are his errand lackey then, Bobbybic? Very well. You shall be lackey as well so that I can complete my work. Combine an Ancient Iksar Bone Inkwell and a Spectral Iksar's Essence in this Small Bone Box, and then return it to me.'

    Ancient Iksar Bone Inkwell drops from "spectral duke" found deep in the Sebilis crypt, near where Emperor Chottal spawns. Spectral Iksar's Essence is a drop from Lord Kizual in the City of Mist, who can spawn in many locations past the moat. Combine these 2 items inside the Small Bone Box to create a Sealed Bone Box.

    Dull Black Ore can be found on "an elemental crusader" in the Hole 1.0 as a rare drop, or in The Hole 2.0 from elemental warriors very commonly. Dented Battleshield is a rare drop from Spectral Knights inside of Karnor's Castle. The Tome of the Corruptor drops from "Corruptor Hex" who spawns in the Eastern wing of Howling Stones.

    Give Sarviksa the Sealed Bone Box.

    Sarviksa Tiths says, 'Just like Rthsirez, your timing could use some improvement... but I suppose it does not matter at this point, for I shall never have to see you again. I have scribed the Invocation of Fear, and it is yours to return to Rthsirez. However, do not neglect the other items that he requested!'

    Receive: Invocation of Fear

    Give Rthsirez the Invocation of Fear, Dull Black Ore, Dented Battleshield, and the Tome of the Corruptor.

    Rthsirez says, 'Excellent, excellent! Yes, this is perfect...' The old shaman closes his eyes as he clutches the dented shield. Uttering in a soft hissing growl, he speaks an ancient voice of magic -- the incantation is foreign and like no language you have ever heard. The shield glows with a dark radiance as he speaks, but dulls when he completes his odd chant. Opening his reptilian eyes, he extends the shield to you, 'Bear it in the faith and respect of the power of Dread, Froglok.'

    Receive: Sacred Shield of Dread

    Your faction standing with Scaled Mystics has been adjusted by 10.
    Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis has been adjusted by 2.

    It says "Can Equip" which means only a SHM or NEC iksar can use the clicky.

    I was able to complete this quest while being KOS. I got on the level below the quest givers and initiated a trade then got an invis from bard song. If you're out of LOS, a KOS mob won't attack. You can complete the entire quest this way even when KOS. I didn't do any hails, just turn-ins.

    Most quests that are created are set to level 1 by default when we don't know what level is required to finish a quest.

    I'll go ahead and set it to 50 since there are level 50 npc's you need to kill for this task. The task might be finishable at a lower level however, until someone reports that, we'll keep it set to 50.

    I tired to do this just for fun.

    I got may faction to max with the assorted Cabilis factions, to include Scaled Mystics & Legion of Cabilis.

    Rthsirez still scowls at me. Any idea on what faction to work on?

    What race/class/deity are you?

    If you raised all factions with the bone chip quest you will still be missing Brood of Kotiz which is the necromancer guild. Mass killing outcast Iksar (I like Warsliks for this) is the best way to raise it that I know.

    If all factions are maxed, and you are illusioned Iksar, and are an Iksar capable class you should be able to not be KoS. I took a Drakkin Necro well into good faction and that is with a bad deity option (Veeshan).

    I just killed him and a few others in that same tower. They all gave -50 with Scaled Mystics and -12 with Legion of Cabilis.

    I created a level 1 iksar SK, conned him and he was amiable.
