This is a non-progression task. It is a group mission (3-6 players) that begins with Bianca Galbraith (click for map image) in the Norrath's Keepers camp of the Lavastorm Mountains.

Pre-requisites for requesting:
- Minimum level 59
- Minimum "indifferent" faction with Norrath's Keepers

Hail her to get a quest selection window pop-up.

You have been assigned the task 'Scions of Thundercrest'.

You are amongst the first to travel into the very depths of Yar`Lir's lair and this is your chance to strike against her. Legend has it that there are three deadly scions that she controls. It is said that these scions can be commanded via three tomes of knowledge that are scattered amongst only the best and brightest within her collective.

Note: This group mission scales to your group's level. The highest is 68+, outlined here.







Touch the portal to Thundercrest Isles 0/1 (The Broodlands)

The entrance will be marked on your compass (entered in the northwestern part of the Broodlands).



Find the Tome of the Wind 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Find the Tome of the Sky 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Find the Tome of the Storm 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Task Window Says: You must search out and recover the three tomes so that you can use them against the very creature who might otherwise command them against you.

The tomes are looted from "a sealed chest" which are scattered spawns throughout the temple entered from the zone-in point. It's possible these chests may appear at different locations in different tasks. Look in the side rooms as you make your way through the temple's halls.

One chest has been known to be in the first room to the east. Another in the first room down the hall to the west. Another is known to appear in the room at the end of the western hall.

With all three tomes recovered, head to the southeastern part of the zone (the maze area).



Kill the Scion of the Wind 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Task Window Says: The Tome of Wind may have clues as to unlocking the secret of the Scion of Wind. You should look through it and then confront the scion when you are ready.

The Scion of the Wind is at the entrance part of the maze (/loc -400, -2385, 295). Read the passage from the book to get it to attack:

You say, 'Kor Lal Lir Toval'

Scion of the Wind says 'You should not know those words! You will perish by my claw!'

It hits for a max ~1,300; summons; single-target rampages; and has ~100,000 hitpoints.



Kill the Scion of the Sky 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Task Window Says: The Tome of the Sky may have information that will aid you in fighting the Scion of the Sky. You should read through the tome so that its knowledge will be yours and then seek out and destroy the Scion of the Sky.

You'll be able to see the Scion of the Sky across the way from the Scion of the Wind's spawn point (/loc -205, -2485, 295). Read the passage:

You say, 'Nil Lal Lir Keval'

Scion of the Sky says 'You should not know those words! You will perish by my claw!'

The Scion of the Sky is of the same difficulty. It AE rampages.



Kill the Scion of the Storm 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Task Window Says: You have uncovered the Tome of the Storm. Its contents should reveal to you the power to conquer the beast known as the Scion of the Storm. Look over it carefully and then search out the mighty scion and use its power against it.

The Scion of the Storm is located due south of the Sky's location (-685, -2570, 295). Read the passage to attack:

You say, 'Vek Lal Lir Qualal'

Scion of the Storm says 'You should not know those words! You will perish by my claw!'

This mob flurries.



Upon the death of the last scion, the task completes.

You have done well to find the tomes of the scions and use the very power that they were instilled with by Yar`Lir against them. Their deaths will leave an invaluable hole in her operations that you will be able to exploit in the time to come. Keep on your toes, however. Yar`Lir is a powerful being and has no doubt seen your attempts to destroy her and her kind.

Need indifferent faction to get this one. I did Grounding the Drakes about half a dozen times and that got me from apprehensive to indifferent.
for first timers.

Me and a friend/box did this missions today. it was pretty much soloed by my 75 wizard, with some merc healing and a TINY bit of merc dps.

You start out in front of the castle/temple. Open the door and wait for the roamer to pass by. Kill the goblin at the door if you like, but you can easily get around him. Inside the hall will split. Camp here and send someone with invis in to look for the chests. Most can come without a fight or a single mob. Loot the books from each chest. THE CHESTS YOU WANT HAVE A GOLD STRIPE ON THEM that lets you tell them apart from the others. the named you need are down the right hall, across the bridge, and in the labyrinth. They were fairly easy. As i said a 75 wizard t2 merc, CT anniversary armor, about 280 aas soloed everything easily. the tank/box was basically there to get the mission (3 min people required, mercs count).

Easy mission, could be done in 30min-1hour.

Invis and repops

Today, ran into the zone to enjoy the double exp, and discovered that not only does it repop, but there are more mobs that see invis, specifically the casters.

Get this mission from Bianca Galbraith. Did this instance and the aforesaid info is correct. Mobs do not respawn. To loot the sealed chest, target it and type /open. The mobs up to the scions are routine. Need pacify or other way to split multiples. There are wanders to watch out for. Only a few see thru invis. Kill all the mobs around the scion before engaging. They will not aggro until you /say the words at the bottom of the tome exactly as the previous post reported. The scions con red to a 67 peep so they are 69 or higher. Scion summon but are slowable. Max hit we saw was 1111.

Walk thru

I found this walkthru elsewhere but have not done it and therefore cannot vouch for the accuracy of the description. But at least its something to start with.

Scions of Thundercrest (Thundercrest Island)

Respawns: no

Multiples: yes (fd, mez, paci required)

See Invis: no (Majority, Enraged pumas DO SEE INVIS)

Mission: Loot Tome of Wind
Loot Tome of Sky
Loot Tome of Storms
Kill Scion of Wind
Kill Scion of Sky
Kill Scion of Storms
Note: Have your warrior loot the books, or atleast /say the command phrases

You start out behind some door on a platform, watch for a roamer here,
but fairly safe. Beyond the doors is a temple. Start pulling up and to
the right in the temple. You must clear the rooms, until you find 3 chests
that contain the Tomes you are looking for. After you have your 3 Tomes,
head towards the VERY long bridge further in the Temple. On the far side
of the bridge you will find the first Scion and a croney. Pull the guard
the Scion will not attack you yet. Once you are set up for the Scion, move
near him. have your Warrior /say the command phrases you read out of the
Tomes, the line at the very bottom of the book, with the Scion Targeted.
Be careful, he Rampages. Next you move to the Scion of Sky, in effect rinse
and repeat from the last one. Sky AE rampages. Rinse and Repeat with Scion
of Storms. Storms Flurries. Once you kill the 3rd one, you recieve your
crystals and Tokens. Dont know where the exit is to this one either.

Enjoy!
