This raid expedition begins with Tarakix V`Rasyrn at the Wayfarer camp in North Ro and takes place in an instance called Sunken Library.
You say, 'Hail, Tarakix V`Rasyrn' Tarakix V`Rasyrn glares at you, as if sizing you up. 'Well, are you going to stand there and gawk at me like a severed fishhead, or do you possess some minor semblance of skill and intellect? If you can rally the call of your friends perhaps you can help us with a serious [problem].' You say, 'I can help with your problem.' Tarakix V`Rasyrn says 'Well then, 'friend'. We have recently discovered that the sand elves within Takish-Hiz are planning to perform a ritual ceremony soon. We will need a raid of foolish . . . Er, brave adventurers to head into the depths of the sandy caves to investigate and bring a halt to the ceremony, if possible. Be on your guard, for there are sure to be many guards and other insidious traps in place to stop you. Are you [interested]?' You say, 'I am interested.' Tarakix V`Rasyrn says 'Good luck, _____. You will need it.' You receive the "Sunken Library" expedition (zone-in marked on compass). LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered Takish-Hiz: Sunken Library.
