You will have to seek out the sarnak revenants who still hold the precious stem and base. Get them and take them with your occultist skullcap back to Master Kyvix. Since you are headed in the general direction, I also have an [additional mission], if you do not mind.'
You say, 'What additional mission?'
Keeper Rott grabs a fist full of scribbled notes and throws them into the air in a rage. 'All these notes are useless to me without the first four note pages! While I ventured through the fields of the drixies, I was assaulted by a band of gobs. They were shamans. I heard them calling spirits. They took the first two pages before I escaped. Then I lost the [second two pages] the next day!! Blast!!'
You say, 'Where did you lose the second two pages?'
Keeper Rott begins to curse. Luckily, you do not understand the language, but you feel a bit of spittle strike your face. '...and then there I was, almost home and the legion expedition leader decided we should explore a bit more near the lake. Then I find myself up against the same type of gobs from the fields. I just ran for the exit an never looked back, but they still managed to swipe pages 3 and 4!!'
The pages are called "an illegible note" and drop off goblin spirit callers. They identify as "notepage 1-4 of Rott." Hand in all four to Keeper Rott:

You say, 'Hail, Master Xydoz'
Master Xydoz says 'What is it you seek within the tower? Could it be that you are a new apprentice? If so, you are required to don the [apprentice skullcap].'
You say, 'What apprentice skullcap?'
Master Xydoz says 'All new members of the Brood of Kotiz are required to don the [apprentice skullcap]. To earn one, a new apprentice is required to fetch four brains for further experiments. Not just any four brain, mind you, but the brains of [sarnak] hatchlings.'
You say, 'What are sarnak?'
Master Xydoz says 'Sarnak?!! Do not speak loudly, that name. If you seek information on the sarnak, read the tome of this tower. The tower librarian should be found within.'
Collect 4x "Sarnak Hatchling Brain" from sarnak hatchlings in the Lake of Ill Omen. These spawn in the area just south of the Cabilis entrance.
Note that the Sarnaks and Goblins are KOS to each other, so you'll have some competition on your hands.
Upon handing in the four brains:
Master Xydoz says 'Good work, my young apprentice. Wear it as a sign of our circle. Do not lose it. Someday you shall wear a necromancer skullcap, but next shall come the [second rank skullcap].' Reward: Apprentice Skullcap - 1st Rank
Necromancer 2nd Rank (Normal): Find Master Xydoz in the Tower of Death and ask him about the Second Rank Skullcap.
You say, 'Hail, Master Xydoz'
Master Xydoz says 'What is it you seek within the tower? Could it be that you are a new apprentice? If so, you are required to don the [apprentice skullcap].'
You say, 'Tell me about the second rank skullcap'
Master Xydoz says 'Looking for the second rank skullcap? Look no further, but be prepared to earn it. I seek a [faded tapestry]. Now, too, so do you.'
You say, 'What faded tapestry?'
Master Xydoz says 'I have heard reports of such a thing found upon sarnak hatchlings. They must have scampered from the safety of their dwelling with their master's property. I would like to see this tapestry, but only when it has been mended. I need to find a necromancer who is [adept at tailoring].'
You say, 'I am adept at tailoring'
Master Xydoz says 'If you are a member of the Brood and wish to assist, you may seek out this tapestry. Find the torn and ripped pieces and take them both to a sewing kit. Return with the mended tapestry and your first rank skullcap and I shall see that you are rewarded with coin and a second rank skullcap.'
You need to acquire two pieces of the now-destroyed tapestry and repair them. The pieces are the Torn and Ripped Tapestry, which you find off of Sarnak Hatchlings as rare drops in the Lake of Ill Omen. Tailor the two pieces together (the result is a mended tapestry, not a faded one, but it works) and hand them in along with your Apprentice Skullcap - 1st Rank for your Apprentice Skullcap - 2nd Rank.
Master Xydoz says 'I must have the mended tapestry and your first circle apprentice cap before I reward you.'
Master Xydoz says 'A job well done, apprentice ____. Your fine service shall earn you the second circle apprentice skullcap. I would advise you to forget this tapestry - it is nothing more than an ancient rug of no importance.'

Master Rixiz says 'You are on the grounds of the Brood of Kotiz. If you do not belong, you must leave at once. There shall be no [third rank skullcap] for you.'
You say, 'What third rank skullcap?'
Master Rixiz says 'I offer the third rank apprentice skullcap to those who wear the second. If that is you, then you will do the [bidding of the tower].'
You say, 'I will do the bidding of the tower.'
Master Rixiz says 'Take this glass canopic. Within it you shall place a brain for me. The brain I seek is that of a sarnak crypt raider. Any shall do. The ones we seek should be near the Lake of Ill Omen. When you obtain the brain, you must quickly put it into the glass canopic with [embalming fluid]. When these are combined, the canopic shall seal and if you return it to me with your second rank skullcap, I shall hand you the next and final skullcap.'
You say, 'What embalming fluid?'
Master Rixiz says 'Embalming fluid is created through brewing, but do not drink it!! You can learn about the process of brewing on our grounds.'
Once I had the embalming fluid in hand, I went back and obtained the Brood Canopic container (2 slots, no drop), placed the embalming fluid in it and went off to find the mean nasty mob that drops the brain. Combining the embalming fluid with the brain yields a "Preserved Sarnak Brain."
Master Rixiz says 'You shall get no skullcap until I have the preserved raider brain and your second circle apprentice skullcap.'
[Hand him both items.]

When asked he says the following:
Master Kyvix says 'I have been waiting for a Nihilist to return. His name was Ryx and I fear his love of ale and the high seas has kept him from his mission. All I want you to do is find him. He should be disguised as a worker and he will give you a tome to bring to me. Return it with your Dark Binder Cap. I am sure that is simple enough for one as simple as you. Be sure to give him this."
At this point he gives a spectacle which is Lore and No Drop. Ryx is in fact in the Overthere at the port for Evil beings. He is disguised as a skeleton worker, He is on top of one of the boats that are on dry dock being built. You can levitate to get up to him. Or you can go under the ship and walk away from the water under the boat and you will enter it. Then go to the otherside and you will be able to go up to top of boat. He will respond to no messages.
Giving him the spectacle gets the message:
a skeleton worker stops working and begins to open his creaking jaw. 'I live to study and quench my thirst. I live to Bash the Faces of Pariah and entangle myself in the ivy of evergreen. I live. I want to remember'
What he wants is four items:
-A Forsaken Pariah Mask from Iksar Pariah (Lake of Ill Omens, Warslik Woods, Swamp of No hope)
-An Ivy Evergreen Ring Guard (from the Forest Giant Evergreens in Warslisk Woods)
-The Spectacle (that's what you get from the master)
-A Bottle of Green Death Rum.
Once he has all these four items he gives you a metal key. You must be 20th to finish up. Give the Metal Key to Tin Banker Assistant at the Overthere outpost. You have to wait till the General who is in the bank leaves to check up on his troops.
You say, 'Hail, Tin Banker Assistant'
Tin Banker Assistant says 'Insert Metal Key *whirrrr*.'
Giving the key to the banker will get you a tome and some money. The tome reads the same as the note Iksar monks get to give their Guildmaster when they enter the game, but this is the tome the Master Wants. Give him the Tome and your Dark Binder cap. The quest results in the Occultist Skullcap. Reward: Occultist Skullcap
Necromancer 6th Rank (Normal): Master Kyvix (/loc?) needs you to track down an item called the Kor Sha Candlestick. It is in two pieces.
First speak with Keeper Rott (/loc?):
You say, 'Hail, Keeper Rott'
Keeper Rott bows before you. His eyes are kept wide by the pins which distort his eyelids. 'Greetings! You have stumbled upon the cave of the Keepers. We record the arcane secrets of the Brood of Kotiz. We have scribed many spells and make them available to all those who are deserving. Please, have a look.'
You say, 'I am the chosen occultist.'
Keeper Rott kneels before you abjectly. 'Oh, great occultist! I am glad you have arrived, but I do not have the artifacts Kyvix seeks. You will have to seek out the sarnak revenants who still hold the precious stem and base. Get them and take them with your occultist skullcap back to Master Kyvix. Since you are headed in the general direction, I also have an [additional mission], if you do not mind.'

You say, 'What Heart of Torsis?'
You say, 'What Crown Jewel of Ganak?'
You say, 'What Grand Forge of Dalnir?'

From what I have read, its fires require no skill, but will melt any common forge hammer used. Dalnir was said to have called upon the ancients for a hammer which could tolerate the magickal flames.'
The Eye of RokGus is dropped by Chief RokGus in the Frontier Mountains. The Gem of Yet to Come is dropped by a sarnak gem oracle in the Lake of Ill Omen.

The Realm of Heroes -- West Cabilis (Unsolved): You say, 'hail Sartar the Unrivaled'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Hello Shazz , I am Sartar. In my former life I forged my body into a versatile weapon capable of defeating any foe that crossed my path. I was a student, a leader, a scholar and a scoundrel. My deeds caught the eyes of the gods and Cazic-Thule blessed me, removing me from this plane and placing me within the [Realm of Heroes].
You say, 'what realm of heroes'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'The Realm of Heroes is where I lived for some time, with others who had performed great deeds. I enjoyed this paradise but I wished to return and serve my lord Cazic-Thule further. Perhaps it was because of the discipline I learned from my early masters and later as a master myself, that I eventually shunned that life of pleasure. So again, I return to this mortal realm to serve my [dark lord of Fear].
You say, 'who is the dark lord of fear'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Hail Cazic-Thule, long may fear reign. I serve by rewarding others that have found the favor of the gods and whose actions have caught their attention and rewarded them appropriately. Those to receive the favor of the gods are on their way to the glory that I have achieved in [my past]. Their journey is simply at its beginning.
You say, 'what is your past'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'I do not know whether it was one single deed in particular that caught the eyes of the gods or if it was many deeds throughout my life in service to Cazic-Thule. I choose to leave such questions to the philosophers and personally do not care why it is that I stand before you as I do now. Simply, my reward is to serve. Still, perhaps you would like to [hear one of my tales] since you seem so interested in listening to me speak.
You say, 'i would like to hear a tale'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Very well, I shall relay to you a tale of my beginning. The times in which I lived were much different from today. It gives me pleasure to see the ancient cities being rebuilt and New Sebilis is a testament to the superiority of our race. When I walked the land however, we were still wandering in the wilderness. When I was young their were [two masters] who lived solitary lives in the caves near what is now called the Emerald Jungle. I served both and neither.
You say, 'what two master'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Their names are not important for they are masters no longer. The two knew of each other's existence but neither knew that I was receiving training from both of them at the same time. I expect that if one learned I was receiving training from the other they would have both fought over whom would be the one to have the pleasure of striking me dead. They would [learn the truth] eventually, only on my terms.
You say, 'what was the truth'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'The truth was simply that I served neither master, only myself. At first it was a great challenge to slip between the two as their fighting styles differed so greatly. However, as the years past my ruse became perfected and switching between the roots of either style became natural and automatic. Indeed, I soon reached the point when I knew that I had learned all I could from both and had exceeded them in skill. [Yet I continued] to pay both visits.
You say, 'why did you continue the visit?'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'I simply wanted to be certain that I was able to defeat both, one after the other. I knew that should I slay the one master, word would travel quickly, no doubt fears would be raised and perhaps my duplicity revealed. My unique perspective having studied both styles afforded me the knowledge of how to [defeat both masters].
You say, 'how did you defeat both masters?'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Defeat them both I did! I still remember the look of shock on their faces, how the pupils of their eyes dilated with fear as I switched from their native stance to that of the other style. That momentary loss of wits was the undoing of both and that weakness was their undoing. I defeated both masters easily. This was the humble beginning of my [rise to power].
You say, 'how did you rise to power?'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'With both local masters defeated word traveled quickly of my deeds. Those that would seek the masters for knowledge and training were suddenly without either. Through their destruction, I had laid the roots for my eventual ascension as head of my tribe.
You say, 'what is your tribe?'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Indeed, rather then to come to these two masters for wisdom and training they began to seek out my help. Soon, I had followers joining me from many of the other tribes and I became a leader of many. My tribe grew large and we were very powerful and successful. Often the passage of time swallows the great deeds of a hero and they are forgotten over millennia. Fortunately, the gods never forget. I have become bored with speaking to you Sstiyrr . Leave me

Since you are headed in the general direction, I also have an [additional mission], if you do not mind.'
You say, 'What additional mission?'

Then I lost the [second two pages] the next day!! Blast!!'

Keeper Rott begins to curse. Luckily, you do not understand the language, but you feel a bit of spittle strike your face. '...and then there I was, almost home and the legion expedition leader decided we should explore a bit more near the lake. Then I find myself up against the same type of gobs from the fields.

Necromancer 1st Rank (Normal): This quest begins with Master Xydoz in West Cabilis (findable with CTRL+F).
You say, 'Hail, Master Xydoz'
Master Xydoz says 'What is it you seek within the tower? Could it be that you are a new apprentice? If so, you are required to don the [apprentice skullcap].'
You say, 'What apprentice skullcap?'
Master Xydoz says 'All new members of the Brood of Kotiz are required to don the [apprentice skullcap]. To earn one, a new apprentice is required to fetch four brains for further experiments. Not just any four brain, mind you, but the brains of [sarnak] hatchlings.'
You say, 'What are sarnak?'
Master Xydoz says 'Sarnak?!! Do not speak loudly, that name. If you seek information on the sarnak, read the tome of this tower. The tower librarian should be found within.'
Collect 4x "Sarnak Hatchling Brain" from sarnak hatchlings in the Lake of Ill Omen. These spawn in the area just south of the Cabilis entrance.
Note that the Sarnaks and Goblins are KOS to each other, so you'll have some competition on your hands.
Upon handing in the four brains:
Master Xydoz says 'Good work, my young apprentice. Wear it as a sign of our circle. Do not lose it. Someday you shall wear a necromancer skullcap, but next shall come the [second rank skullcap].' Reward: Apprentice Skullcap - 1st Rank
Necromancer 2nd Rank (Normal): Find Master Xydoz in the Tower of Death and ask him about the Second Rank Skullcap.

Master Xydoz says 'Looking for the second rank skullcap? Look no further, but be prepared to earn it. I seek a [faded tapestry]. Now, too, so do you.'
You say, 'What faded tapestry?'
Master Xydoz says 'I have heard reports of such a thing found upon sarnak hatchlings. They must have scampered from the safety of their dwelling with their master's property. I would like to see this tapestry, but only when it has been mended. I need to find a necromancer who is [adept at tailoring].'
You say, 'I am adept at tailoring'
Master Xydoz says 'If you are a member of the Brood and wish to assist, you may seek out this tapestry. Find the torn and ripped pieces and take them both to a sewing kit. Return with the mended tapestry and your first rank skullcap and I shall see that you are rewarded with coin and a second rank skullcap.'
You need to acquire two pieces of the now-destroyed tapestry and repair them. The pieces are the Torn and Ripped Tapestry, which you find off of Sarnak Hatchlings as rare drops in the Lake of Ill Omen. Tailor the two pieces together (the result is a mended tapestry, not a faded one, but it works) and hand them in along with your Apprentice Skullcap - 1st Rank for your Apprentice Skullcap - 2nd Rank.
Master Xydoz says 'I must have the mended tapestry and your first circle apprentice cap before I reward you.'
Master Xydoz says 'A job well done, apprentice ____. Your fine service shall earn you the second circle apprentice skullcap. I would advise you to forget this tapestry - it is nothing more than an ancient rug of no importance.'

You say, 'What third rank skullcap?'
Master Rixiz says 'I offer the third rank apprentice skullcap to those who wear the second. If that is you, then you will do the [bidding of the tower].'
You say, 'I will do the bidding of the tower.'
Master Rixiz says 'Take this glass canopic. Within it you shall place a brain for me. The brain I seek is that of a sarnak crypt raider. Any shall do. The ones we seek should be near the Lake of Ill Omen. When you obtain the brain, you must quickly put it into the glass canopic with [embalming fluid]. When these are combined, the canopic shall seal and if you return it to me with your second rank skullcap, I shall hand you the next and final skullcap.'
You say, 'What embalming fluid?'
Master Rixiz says 'Embalming fluid is created through brewing, but do not drink it!! You can learn about the process of brewing on our grounds.'
Once I had the embalming fluid in hand, I went back and obtained the Brood Canopic container (2 slots, no drop), placed the embalming fluid in it and went off to find the mean nasty mob that drops the brain. Combining the embalming fluid with the brain yields a "Preserved Sarnak Brain."
Master Rixiz says 'You shall get no skullcap until I have the preserved raider brain and your second circle apprentice skullcap.'
[Hand him both items.]

When asked he says the following:
Master Kyvix says 'I have been waiting for a Nihilist to return. His name was Ryx and I fear his love of ale and the high seas has kept him from his mission. All I want you to do is find him. He should be disguised as a worker and he will give you a tome to bring to me. Return it with your Dark Binder Cap. I am sure that is simple enough for one as simple as you. Be sure to give him this."
At this point he gives a spectacle which is Lore and No Drop. Ryx is in fact in the Overthere at the port for Evil beings. He is disguised as a skeleton worker, He is on top of one of the boats that are on dry dock being built. You can levitate to get up to him. Or you can go under the ship and walk away from the water under the boat and you will enter it. Then go to the otherside and you will be able to go up to top of boat. He will respond to no messages.
Giving him the spectacle gets the message:
a skeleton worker stops working and begins to open his creaking jaw. 'I live to study and quench my thirst. I live to Bash the Faces of Pariah and entangle myself in the ivy of evergreen. I live. I want to remember'
What he wants is four items:
-A Forsaken Pariah Mask from Iksar Pariah (Lake of Ill Omens, Warslik Woods, Swamp of No hope)
-An Ivy Evergreen Ring Guard (from the Forest Giant Evergreens in Warslisk Woods)
-The Spectacle (that's what you get from the master)
-A Bottle of Green Death Rum.
Once he has all these four items he gives you a metal key. You must be 20th to finish up. Give the Metal Key to Tin Banker Assistant at the Overthere outpost. You have to wait till the General who is in the bank leaves to check up on his troops.
You say, 'Hail, Tin Banker Assistant'

Giving the key to the banker will get you a tome and some money.

The quest results in the Occultist Skullcap. Reward: Occultist Skullcap
Necromancer 6th Rank (Normal): Master Kyvix (/loc?) needs you to track down an item called the Kor Sha Candlestick. It is in two pieces.
First speak with Keeper Rott (/loc?):
You say, 'Hail, Keeper Rott'
Keeper Rott bows before you. His eyes are kept wide by the pins which distort his eyelids. 'Greetings! You have stumbled upon the cave of the Keepers. We record the arcane secrets of the Brood of Kotiz. We have scribed many spells and make them available to all those who are deserving. Please, have a look.'
You say, 'I am the chosen occultist.'
Keeper Rott kneels before you abjectly. 'Oh, great occultist! I am glad you have arrived, but I do not have the artifacts Kyvix seeks. You will have to seek out the sarnak revenants who still hold the precious stem and base. Get them and take them with your occultist skullcap back to Master Kyvix. Since you are headed in the general direction, I also have an [additional mission], if you do not mind.'
Kill "a sarnak revenant" in the fort in Lake of Ill Omen (/loc?) to loot a Foot of Candlestick (identifies as "Foot of a Kor Sha Candlestick") and Stem of Candlestick (identifies as "Stem of a Kor Sha Candlestick"). Return both pieces to Master Kyvix.

Harbinger Glosk halts his chanting. 'You dare to interrupt me? You had best have a good reason. I care not for small talk.'
You say, 'I am the new revenant.'
Harbinger Glosk ceases his chanting and gazes into your mind. 'Yes. You are. You shall do as I command. Take this. It is incomplete and must be ready for the emperor within the half season.

You say, 'What Gem of Yet to Come?'
You say, 'What Heart of Torsis?'
You say, 'What Crown Jewel of Ganak?'
You say, 'What Grand Forge of Dalnir?'
Harbinger Glosk scratches his chin. 'I know little of it other than that it once belonged to the ancient Haggle Baron, Dalnir. From what I have read, its fires require no skill, but will melt any common forge hammer used. Dalnir was said to have called upon the ancients for a hammer which could tolerate the magickal flames.'
The Eye of RokGus is dropped by Chief RokGus in the Frontier Mountains. The Gem of Yet to Come is dropped by a sarnak gem oracle in the Lake of Ill Omen. The Heart of Torsis is really a Shiny Emerald (identifies as "Heart of Torsis"), dropped by various mobs in the Emerald Jungle and City of Mist.

The Realm of Heroes -- West Cabilis (Unsolved): You say, 'hail Sartar the Unrivaled'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Hello Shazz , I am Sartar. In my former life I forged my body into a versatile weapon capable of defeating any foe that crossed my path. I was a student, a leader, a scholar and a scoundrel. My deeds caught the eyes of the gods and Cazic-Thule blessed me, removing me from this plane and placing me within the [Realm of Heroes].
You say, 'what realm of heroes'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'The Realm of Heroes is where I lived for some time, with others who had performed great deeds. I enjoyed this paradise but I wished to return and serve my lord Cazic-Thule further. Perhaps it was because of the discipline I learned from my early masters and later as a master myself, that I eventually shunned that life of pleasure. So again, I return to this mortal realm to serve my [dark lord of Fear].
You say, 'who is the dark lord of fear'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Hail Cazic-Thule, long may fear reign. I serve by rewarding others that have found the favor of the gods and whose actions have caught their attention and rewarded them appropriately. Those to receive the favor of the gods are on their way to the glory that I have achieved in [my past]. Their journey is simply at its beginning.
You say, 'what is your past'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'I do not know whether it was one single deed in particular that caught the eyes of the gods or if it was many deeds throughout my life in service to Cazic-Thule. I choose to leave such questions to the philosophers and personally do not care why it is that I stand before you as I do now. Simply, my reward is to serve. Still, perhaps you would like to [hear one of my tales] since you seem so interested in listening to me speak.
You say, 'i would like to hear a tale'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Very well, I shall relay to you a tale of my beginning. The times in which I lived were much different from today. It gives me pleasure to see the ancient cities being rebuilt and New Sebilis is a testament to the superiority of our race. When I walked the land however, we were still wandering in the wilderness. When I was young their were [two masters] who lived solitary lives in the caves near what is now called the Emerald Jungle. I served both and neither.
You say, 'what two master'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Their names are not important for they are masters no longer. The two knew of each other's existence but neither knew that I was receiving training from both of them at the same time. I expect that if one learned I was receiving training from the other they would have both fought over whom would be the one to have the pleasure of striking me dead. They would [learn the truth] eventually, only on my terms.
You say, 'what was the truth'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'The truth was simply that I served neither master, only myself. At first it was a great challenge to slip between the two as their fighting styles differed so greatly. However, as the years past my ruse became perfected and switching between the roots of either style became natural and automatic. Indeed, I soon reached the point when I knew that I had learned all I could from both and had exceeded them in skill. [Yet I continued] to pay both visits.
You say, 'why did you continue the visit?'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'I simply wanted to be certain that I was able to defeat both, one after the other. I knew that should I slay the one master, word would travel quickly, no doubt fears would be raised and perhaps my duplicity revealed. My unique perspective having studied both styles afforded me the knowledge of how to [defeat both masters].
You say, 'how did you defeat both masters?'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Defeat them both I did! I still remember the look of shock on their faces, how the pupils of their eyes dilated with fear as I switched from their native stance to that of the other style. That momentary loss of wits was the undoing of both and that weakness was their undoing. I defeated both masters easily. This was the humble beginning of my [rise to power].
You say, 'how did you rise to power?'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'With both local masters defeated word traveled quickly of my deeds. Those that would seek the masters for knowledge and training were suddenly without either. Through their destruction, I had laid the roots for my eventual ascension as head of my tribe.
You say, 'what is your tribe?'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Indeed, rather then to come to these two masters for wisdom and training they began to seek out my help. Soon, I had followers joining me from many of the other tribes and I became a leader of many. My tribe grew large and we were very powerful and successful. Often the passage of time swallows the great deeds of a hero and they are forgotten over millennia. Fortunately, the gods never forget. I have become bored with speaking to you Sstiyrr . Leave me
