This quest begins with Semkak Prophet of Vallon in Kael Drakkel. He is found in the quarters connected to the city's arena, at 1190, 1565, -54.

You say, 'Hail, Semkak Prophet of Vallon'

Semkak Prophet of Vallon says 'You have entered the sacred temple of Vallon Zek. This is the Temple of Strategy. We teach what must be done to be a great leader. Forethought is a powerful tool.

You say, 'Will you teach me?'

Semkak Prophet of Vallon says 'I cannot teach one of your kind the arts of war at this time. I must teach the other Kromzek and Kromrif that proper strategy will allow us to win the war against the dragons. If you were to serve the temple of Vallon, I might consider giving you a few words of advice about strategy.

You say, 'I will serve the temple of Tallon Zek'

Semkak Prophet of Vallon says 'The dragons of Velious are ancient and wise beyond belief. They have ageless strategies to destroy their foes. The Temple of Strategy must gain the knowledge they hold. I have heard rumors of a great dragon burial ground. If this tomb indeed exists, find it and seek out the knowledge of the dragons who are now dead. Bring whatever you believe will teach us their strategies and tactics of the past.

Bring back either a Golden Tablet of Draconic Strategy or a Scroll of Scaled Tactics (dropped by dragon constructs in the Dragon Necropolis) in exchange for a reward.

Upon handing in a Golden Tablet of Draconic Strategy:

Semkak Prophet of Vallon says 'This tablet holds great knowledge. The Temple of Strategy thanks you, ______. Take this and know that your own strategies are wise indeed if you have acquired this tablet from the depths of the dragons' graveyard.'
Your faction standing with Kromzek could not possibly get any better.
Your faction standing with Kromrif got better.
Your faction standing with King Tormax got better.
Your faction standing with Claws of Veeshan could not possibly get any worse.
You gain experience!!

The reward may vary depending on which scroll you bring back.

Need missing dialogues and faction hits.

I am Ally with Semkak, and I handed him a Golden Tablet of Draconic Strategy, and this is the message I received:

Semkak Prophet of Vallon says 'This tablet holds great knowledge. The Temple of Strategy thanks you, Henrian. Take this and know that your own strategies are wise indeed if you have acquired this tablet from the depths of the dragons' graveyard.'
Your faction standing with Kromzek could not possibly get any better.
Your faction standing with Kromrif got better.
Your faction standing with King Tormax got better.
Your faction standing with Claws of Veeshan could not possibly get any worse.
You gain experience!!

He is located at 1190, 1565, -54 in the room to the North West of the Arena in Kael.

May I ask does the Circlet of Vallon have velious graphic look or is there an NPC we can ask to customize it? ;)

If not, besides Cowl of Mortality and the crown from kaels, any other head piece monk can get just for the velious helm look?

Pls advice

From the text of the chat with the Giant in Kael, clues point to the scrolls dropping in Sleeper's Tomb ... ughhh. He mentions burial ground and Tomb. Sleeping... dead. Makes sense. Also means only the strongest of guild raids will ever see a quest reward like this one, if a trip to Sleeper's is needed.

Hmm .... Graveyard .... Necropolis=City of the dead or Dead City..... Dragon + Dead City ... I think this points more towards Dragon Necropolis.


but that's just my opinion I could be wrong

Yes it's Dragon Necropolis.

And it makes you think, is pvp really better if you can't do this quest on a pvp server?

Dragon Tatic

Best dragon tatic. Grab foe. Fly high. Let go.
better dragon tactic
# Feb 09 2001 at 4:52 PM Rating: Good
1)Get most powerfull dragons friends
2)Dont sit in a big open area so groups can come and kill you
3)invite friends round (see step 1)
4)friends hide
5)when the inevitable 5 groups of lvl 50+ turn up to kill you, friends come out
6)dragons kill groups and take the phat lewt
7) dragons wait for more groups to kill big ice giant leaders, dragons slag rest of ice giants and their city
8)Dragons kill gnomes, sink their boat and go back to picking plat out of their scales
RE: better dragon tactic
# Sep 03 2001 at 10:59 AM Rating: Decent
9) Convince the true powers to allow you to banish seasoned adventurers from even fighting you.

(Lol on the list!)
