Find Veriok Dreik in the sick bay of the Plane of Tranquility.

You must have the Saryrn flag in order to complete this quest.


You say, 'Hail, Veriok Dreik'

Veriok Dreik says 'Excellent work _____, I hear great things of you from Odaen. I have more work for you if you wish to help. Do you [believe] that we can help another suffering soul?'

You say, 'I believe'

Veriok Dreik says 'We will see how much you believe in my powers and your abilities. This man Thelin over here is lost in a world of Nightmares. Thelin was once a great man who opened a portal to the Plane of Nightmare is now a weak man trapped inside his own [nightmares].'

You say, 'What nightmares?'

Veriok Dreik says 'Thelin had used all of his energy to open the portal to the Plane of Nightmare. He went home that day and fell asleep clutching a [jeweled dagger] that was once given to him. While sleeping, he had this terrible nightmare and he started to toss and turn from the vision that was sent to him. He tossed and turned so much that he landed on the dagger and critically injured himself. The elders found him in time and were able to save him but he has slipped into a coma and is in an endless world of nightmares.'

You say, 'What jeweled dagger?'

Veriok Dreik says 'Ah yes the jeweled dagger. It was precious to him and he always kept it by his side. I believe that retrieving the dagger is the key to saving him. I have a scout inside the Plane of Nightmare trying to recover it for me. Terris Thule has broken it into many pieces and scattered it inside a maze so Thelin couldn't use it to escape his nightmares. Our scout has been gone for awhile now and I'm getting worried. Can you [find her] and assist her in bringing the jeweled dagger back to me?'

You say, 'I will find her'

Veriok Dreik says 'Excellent her name is Kelletia. She is one of our best scouts.'

Kellitia is on the ledge at the very end of the PoN caves, past the Vhaksiz the Shade, right before you drop off and back to the base level of the Plane of Nightmares.

You say, 'Hail, Kelletia'

Kelletia says 'Shhh _____, [they] can hear and see every move that you make.'

You say, 'They?'

Kelletia says 'Terris Thule and her henchman are after me. I thought I had completed my [work] without being noticed but something went wrong.'

You say, 'What work?'

Kelletia says 'I came here to find the pieces of the dagger for Variok. Terris did a good job at scattering them across her maze but I was able to sneak around and find each of them without being noticed. I crafted the dagger back together and I made my escape out of the maze to here. I was going to take a night's rest then leave this plane and return the dagger to Variok but that's when the [nightmares] started.'

You say, 'What nightmares?'

Kelletia says 'I fell asleep here that night and in my dreams I saw Terris Thule ordering her henchman to kill me at all costs because I have the dagger in my possession. I try and fight the urge to sleep but eventually I find myself running from them, fighting to stay alive. My only hope of surviving is to assassinate her henchman before he assassinates me. I have scouted the area and I know my point of attack but with the many sleepless nights I don't think I have the power to assassinate him myself. Do you think you [can help] me?'

You say, 'I can help'

Kelletia says 'Ok every night he appears just south east of the maze. He has two guardsmen with him when he is around. If he were alone I could assassinate him but his two guards pose a problem for me. Kill him and bring his heart back to me.'

The Tyrant of Nightmare spawns between the two Forboding Guardians at the entrance to the Lair of Terris Thule. He is slowable, hits for a max of 1700. He mostly doubles, occasionally triples. He has about 100,000 hitpoints and enrages. Bring its heart to Kelletia.

Kelletia says 'You made fast work of him. I need to clean this dagger before returning it to Variok. With Terris and her henchman chasing me I couldn't collect the pieces that I needed. Could you collect [three items] for me?'
You gain experience!!

You say, 'What three items?'

Kelletia says 'I need a secured wooden case and two pieces of silky cloth. If you can bring them back to me I'll be able to return this to Veriok.'

The Secured Wooden Case drops from the Terror Matriarch. Silky Cloths drop from her offspring that spawn near her. Return these items to Kelletia.

Kelletia says 'Perfect I can clean this dagger up and return it to Veriok. You were a great help to me. I'll be sure to report that to Veriok when I get back.'
You gain experience!!

Return to the Plane of Tranquility:

You say, 'Hail, Veriok Dreik'

Veriok Dreik says '_____ we have done it! I heard all about your adventures into the Plane of Nightmare from Kelletia. Do you believe it? I always believed that you believed that we could do it and look we have done it! Our work here is done friend.'

Just completed this Questline today on an Alt. After turning in the Box and Silk in PoN, Veriok Dreik wouldn't respond with the Proper Text for this Backflag. After doing more research as to why it seems that the Bypaass for Keeper of Sorrows has to be completed or he will not respond properly. Wanted to post this to save others future problems.
NOT available in PoP. OOW.

oh the irony


The posts below are on topic.
If you want to find out about the mobs themselves, look at the mob listing.

This page is about the quest itself.
People discussing if it is for "exp only" flags or "true" flags, are doing it right where it belongs.

Its an alt access quest. this will allow you to gain access to area's that you couldnt get into without the Hedge event flag, TT's lair. There is nothing broken, if yuo do this expecting to get the AA and charm upgrade your on the wrong path here, you ahev to kill and hail the planner projections at the end of each mob boss fight. You can get alt access for any plane except the Elemental planes and Time. But once you begin to make yuor way towards these higher ends of the Planes yuo ahev to have all the real flags in order to procced to EP and Time. FYI is all here. : )

Actually you're incorrect, this is not an alt access quest though it may give access to zones as a result of doing it. This is part of the Alternate BACKFLAG system they put in a year or 2 ago, thus why you are required to have Saryn's flag in order to do it. It lets you progress from Saryn onwards without having to have done Hedge/TT. However you are correct in the fact that you will not recieve any AAs or Charm upgrades just for doing this quest.
Just an update

Got the real Terris Thule flag a few days ago which did not finish the flagging chain for me. So whatever this quest was intended to be, all it is right now is an alternate way to get PoNb access. You will still need to do the hedge maze event to be truly flagged.
Broken more then likely

Did this today with a character who has every other flag needed for Sol Ro Tower access except the hedge maze and TT flags.

It did not give me any flags, or an aa from the dwarf in PoK or a charm upgrade. Neither Thelin nor Adroha nor Fahlia see the hedge maze or TT flags as being done.

It did give me PoNb access.

After completeing this quest I made the rounds re-hailing and talking to all the npcs involved, as well as unlocking memories at the seer several times in the process. Came up with a big, fat nothing except for the PoNb access.

Perhaps this was only meant to be PoNb access and killing Terris as normal will finish out the flags. Either that or it is definately broken.
I dont think this is right.

This cant be right cause it says you need saryn flag but i thought u cant get saryn flag till u have bert od tt flag
With AA's? One person and or group?

all alt access i have done so far was 1 groupable, the solro tower access i soloed with a lvl 51 druid.

alt access usually gets no aa's due to it not being a true flag. but this one could be different, would have to do it to find out i suppose, but im pretty sure its not a true flag...

Don't think this is the same as the exp only access keys. They recently added a backflagging shortcut to help make backflagging easier for guilds that had already gone through the content. The flag you get with this is probably the same thing you would get for doing the hedge event and killing Terris Thule for progression.
