This is a non-progression raid task that begins with Captain Areha Burina (click for map image) in the Norrath's Keepers camp of the Lavastorm Mountains.
Pre-requisites for requesting this task:
- Level 68+
- Minimum 6 players; maximum 54 players
- Minimum 'high amiable' faction with Norrath's Keepers
- Completion of "Turn the Tides of Sand" (Tier 2 solo task)
- Completion of "Recover the Lost Map" (Tier 2 solo task)

You say, 'Hail, Captain Areha Burina'
Captain Areha Burina bows. 'I see a good heart in you and a measure of bravery. Serve Firiona Vie and Norrath's Keepers well!'
You have been assigned the task 'Reflections of Silver'.
Our scouts have informed us that Rikkukin is in danger of being attacked by Dark Reign. I must ask you to travel to the highest peak of Stillmoon and find this dragon. He is known among his kind as 'The Defender', and while that is somewhat encouraging, the forces of Dark Reign are tenacious and resourceful and likely to exploit a weakness. If he proves to be unwilling to speak, prepare to defend yourself.

The Event
Rikkukin the Defender is the only mob you'll have to contend with here.
Rikkukin the Defender says 'Is there one among you with a guilty burden to bear? I sense the culprit, the slayer of my mate. You will all perish for this misdeed!'
He hits for a max ~3,400 and has ~900,000 hitpoints. He buffs himself with:
Breath of Rikkukin: Self 0', Unresistable (0)
8: Increase Mana by 8 per tick
10: Increase Hitpoints by 8 per tick
Sheen of Platinum Scales: Self 0', Unresistable (0)
1: Increase Chance to Reflect Spell by 33%
2: Increase Poison Counter by 99
He has a regular AE:
Crystal Chill Fog: PB AE 2000', Cold (-475)
1: Decrease HP when cast by 1250
2: Decrease Hitpoints by 750 per tick
And he has emote-based AEs and abilities (10-15-second warning time):
Rikkukin pulls his right arm back, preparing to cut a swathe through his opponents with his razor sharp claws.
--- Warning for AE on right side.
Rikkukin claws at those on his right flank.

--- Seen as frontal AE is cast. ("Rikkukin's Cone of Cold")
Rikkukin twists his body so that the ambient light starts to reflect from his silvery scales.
--- 10-second warning for "Blinding Light" (turn away from him to avoid being blinded - there is no emote seen when it's cast).
Rikkukin's skin seal over with a caustic sheet of malleable ice. The protection will soon make him impervious to melee and magical attacks.
--- In a few moments, he will become temporarily immune to damage.
