Why would you start any post with I'm not sure about this.... or I don't know if this has anything to do with ...... Ask a question, or provide an answer. I've got my FA almost complete, have no questions on it, it's really just a matter of time and raiding naggy and vox over and over. The book on Vox is definitly not rare, or I'm the luckiest MF alive. Done her twice and she dropped 2 both times. Naggy, I've done twice, he dropped 1 once. I've got the BP from hate, the sword from the hole, the water and the gem, i just need the naggy book and to kill that darn necro in everfrost for my FA. You can ask for details if you need them, but the FA quest is fairly detailed elsewhere.
For the shield anyone know where he's at in kith, and if he spawns at night/day or is permanent? Also what's this light you cleanse it with? I admit, I've not talked to Elia, does she give you a clue?

Receive the Mark of Atonement [ ] Turn in Mark of Atonement and the Fiery Avenger to Irak Altil in Plane of Fear to receive your epic. Full Walkthrough Irak Altil Irak Altil is an indifferent skeleton who wanders the Plane of Fear. He has an emote he gives off occasionally. Irak Altil moans and continues to shamble across the barren landscape, oblivious to the monstrosities surrounding it. It mumbles to itself softly. You say, 'Hail, Irak Altil' Irak Altil turns its head upon its dried, cracked spine to look at you with a rictus grin. After staring through you it continues to walk on. You say, 'What are you mumbling about?' Irak Altil turns its rotted eyesockets towards you. 'Fallen light, upon this ground I fell. Left to rot, cast out. My holy arms stripped and my soul cast out of the halls. Twisted, failed, disgraced.' You say, 'Why are you disgraced?' Irak Altil says 'Disgrace upon my soul for failing in my duties. Disgrace of my brethren.' You say, 'What duties?' Irak Altil breathes his words from his skeletal mouth as if wind through a valley. 'Sword, shield, breastplate. Twisted to Innoruuks foul will. Must be retrieved and cleansed else my soul is to wander for all time.' You say, 'What sword?' Irak Altil says 'Hands of a twisted brother no longer living.' You say, 'What shield?' Irak Altil says 'Earthly children of the god of hate. Keeping stand over his dark brothers and sisters.' You say, 'What breastplate?' Irak Altil lets loose an unearthly howl as it gleams with sickly light. 'Upon she who lured me from my post. In that place where hatred festers. Painful corruption.' You say, 'How can they be cleansed?' Irak Altil says 'The sword must be dipped in water pure. Light of clean spirit to cleanse the shield. A gem of clarity unlike any other for the breastplate. All must be cleansed and returned to the temple for my soul to be freed. Only the temple can cleanse, only they can touch the artifacts. Take the sets of two to the temple. When they are all three cleansed separately take them to him who will grant me atonement.' Reklon Gnallen Your clue is the key word "atonement." Find Reklon Gnallen in the Temple of Quellious in Erudin. You say, 'Hail, Reklon Gnallen' Reklon Gnallen says 'Hail to you friend. Seek you knowledge or atonement in this temple of peace?' You say, 'I seek atonement' Reklon Gnallen says 'Yes. Many are those who enter these halls seeking the forgiveness, the atonement of a god. By turning their spirit against whatever wrong they have committed they may be able to receive redemption in the eyes of their diety. Many seek such a thing, but few truly have the strength of spirit to attain it.' You say, 'What temple of peace?' Reklon Gnallen says 'Dedicated to the god of peace, Quellious, is this temple. It is here that her clerics and paladins pray and receive inspiration.' You say, 'What paladins?' Reklon Gnallen says 'As the clerics are the warm hand of healing, the paladins are the stalwart shield of protection, and in times of grave need the sharp sword of justice. To our post must we always remain vigilant else dishonor might befall us.' You say, 'I wish to remain vigilant.' Reklon Gnallen says 'To a paladin the upholding of his duty, or honor to his temple is foremost. To fail in his duty to stand at his assigned post in time of need is a great disgrace. Few are the paladins who have done so, and their spirits have been outcast from the god of peace.' You say, 'What outcast?' Reklon Gnallen says 'Harsh though it seems, a true paladin must always remain vigilant and dedicated to his cause. If he does not then he might find himself fallen from grace.' You say, 'Who has fallen from grace?' Reklon Gnallen says 'There are a few who have done so. Only a few that come to mind. Such stories are useful to remember as reminders of our beliefs.' You say, 'What stories?' Reklon Gnallen says 'One is the story of the paladin who fell due to his weakness in the duty of his guard post.' No prompts here seem to lead to further text. Intermediate dialogue needed. You say, 'what peasant woman?' Reklon Gnallen says 'Many hundreds of years ago did this story begin. There was a paladin, whose name is lost to all but our oldest leaders, who was among the greatest examples of honor. It was his post to guard the chambers to our most important halls. His fall was a creature in the guise of a poor peasant woman.' No other prompts seemed to move this along. Tainted and Gleaming Items Remember, Irak Altil said, "Only the temple can cleanse, only they can touch the artifacts. Take the sets of two to the temple. When they are all three cleansed separately take them to he who will grant me atonement." Irak Altil failed his duty as a guard for the Paladins of Quellious and was cast out from his Temple. To release him from exile, you need to obtain, purify and return a tainted darksteel sword, shield and breastplate. What Irak means is that only the Temple of Quellious in Erudin, to which he once belonged, can cleanse the artifacts. (Despite this, one of the artifacts is cleansed by Tunare's temple in Felwithe.) The sets of 2 that he speaks of are the set of the sword and pure water, and the set of the breastplate and pure crystal. The third "set" is the shield and the spirit of Elia the Pure. The Breastplate Tainted Darksteel Breastplate Remember, Irak Altil said, "Upon she who lured me from my post. In that place where hatred festers. Painful corruption.' ... 'A gem of clarity unlike any other for the breastplate.'" The Tainted Darksteel Breastplate drops from the Thought Destroyer in the Plane of Hate. It identifies as "glowing sickly green." Pure Crystal The "gem of clarity" is called a Pure Crystal, and is obtained via a sub-quest in Kaladim. In the mines (take a right as you go in, across a bridge), find Jark: You say, 'Hail, Jark' He doesn't respond to hails. He does have two emotes, however. Jark strikes the wall with his pick. A dull clang sounds throughout the cave. 'Arrr. Nothin' here either.' ...and... Jark strikes the wall with his pick. A clacking sound echoes through the cave. 'Har har. There's something all right.' You say, 'Did you find something?' Jark says 'Huh? Oh, I struck me some silver. Ain't gonna make me rich but it'll sure pay for me minin' costs. Speakin of, that wife o' mine was supposed ta bring me food already. Hey, you, wanna go get me my dinner? I ain't got nothing ta pay ya with but I sure would appreciate it.' You say, 'I will get your dinner' Jark says 'Har, I know you were a good sort. Nella has it. She's out there somewhere in the lower areas. She likes to visit the temple, so maybe she's there. Just tell 'er Jark sent ya and she'll prolly have everythin' ready fer me.' Nella Stonebraids may be found in the temple area, by the small pool of water across from the door to the cleric guild, at +675, +115. She is spawned by talking to Jark. You say, 'Hail, Nella Stonebraids' She doesn't respond to hails. You say, 'Do you have Jark's dinner?' Nella Stonebraids says 'Ach! I forgot me husband's dinner. I'm so sorry. I was sendin' my wishes ta Brell for health and long life. I was just floatin' coins into the wishin' pool. Usually it's for children but things haven't been so good lately. Here, please take this to him and tell him where I was.' You receive a "cold plate of beef and bread," which identifies as "Jark's dinner." Take this back to him. Jark says 'Har, har! No time fer eatin' now! While you were gone I struck me a rich vein. Lookie here! Ya ever seen a gem so pure? It's tiny but clear as glass. Ya take it, ______. Ya showed me some kindness, least I can do. Besides, still a share here for me.' You receive a Pure Crystal, which identifies as "blessed by compassion." Gleaming Crested Breastplate Go back to Reklon Gnallen and give him the Tainted Darksteel Breastplate and Pure Crystal. Reklon Gnallen presses the gem of purity against the breastplate. Its dark gleam softens and then glows bright once again. 'Compassion is strong in you. Few so called heroes would sacrifice their time for such a menial task as you performed. Continue your work. Hold this ancient breastplate until you have completed your task.' You receive a Gleaming Crested Breastplate, which identifies as "glowing with a bright light." The Sword Remember, Irak Altil said, "Hands of a twisted brother no longer living. The sword must be dipped in water pure." Tainted Darksteel Sword The Tainted Darksteel Sword drops from the Keeper of the Tombs in the Ruins of Old Paineel, a.k.a. The Hole. It identifies as "glowing sickly green." Bucket of Pure Water The "water pure" comes from doing a sub-quest of helping a peasant woman give some water to her sick brother. The peasant woman is located at +140, -545 in East Freeport post-revamp. She doesn't respond to hails, but has an emote: peasant woman grunts as she tries to fill two buckets of water. Her frail arms strain at her work and pain fills her eyes with tears. You say, 'What water?' peasant woman says 'Aye, water, m'lord. For my brother. He is very sick. He's needin' drink. Hes burnin' up. I am sick myself but still able to move, a little. I must get this water to him before he gets worse.' You say, 'I will take it to him' peasant woman looks at you. 'Surely you are a pure soul. If you would take this bucket of water to my brother, I would be forever grateful. I'm just so tired, I need to rest...' She slumps to the floor and begins to breathe shallowly, in short, harsh gasps. You receive a Bucket of Water, which identifies as "bucket of aqueduct water." Post-revamp, her brother Joshua is located elsewhere in East Freeport near the entrance to the sewers at -35, -470. Give him the bucket. Joshua dips his emaciated hand into the bucket and brings the water to his mouth. As he does, you hear a soft thump from outside and notice that through the window his sister has collapsed. A glimmer enfolds her body, and you notice the water in Joshua's hand gleam a pure, bright light for a moment. 'Thank you, sir. I hope my sister returns soon. I feel better for some reason.' You receive a Bucket of Pure Water, which identifies as "blessed by sacrifice." Gleaming Crested Sword Give the Tainted Darksteel Sword and the Bucket of Pure Water to Reklon Gnallen. Reklon Gnallen washes the sword's blade in the water of purity. Its dark surface begins to shine, as true as the day it was forged. 'Such a sacrifice is rare among the poor. Truly, the woman must have loved her brother. Remember the lesson you have learned from her. Keep the sword until your work is done.' You receive a Gleaming Crested Sword, which identifies as "glowing with a bright light." The Shield Remember, Irak Altil said, "Earthly children of the god of hate. Keeping stand over his dark brothers and sisters. Light of clean spirit to cleanse the shield." Tainted Darksteel Shield The Tainted Darksteel Shield drops from Kirak Vil in Nektulos Forest. It identifies as "glowing sickly green." To get him to attack say "I am a paladin" Light of Clean Spirit The "light of clean spirit" isn't an object, unlike the other two items. Rather, it's the literal "clean spirit" of Elia the Pure in Felwithe. She is by the water just before you enter the inner city zone. You say, 'Hail, Elia the Pure' Elia the Pure says 'Hail to you, friend. If you require assistance, please ask, if not I must return to my tasks.' You say, 'What tasks?' Elia the Pure says 'It is here that the light shines brightest in our fair city. Here I sit, transcribing scrolls of luminescence. Spells to light the dark, to blind the evil with purity, or to heal those in pain. I find it so much easier to work with such spells if I am in the light itself.' You say, 'What purity?' Elia the Pure says 'Cleansing and such. Often our temple will cleanse evil. If you have need of such a thing, I can help. Merely let me examine the item.' Gleaming Crested Shield Give her the Tainted Darksteel Shield. Elia the Pure squints and turns her head. 'By the gods, such a twisted aura this has! To see it hurts my eyes. I will help you if for no other reason than to remove such a twisted thing from existence.' She unrolls a scroll from her pack and softly chants over the dark metal shield. She hands it back to you with an exhausted smile on her face. 'Your heart seems pure. If I was able to help at all, I am honored. May the light shine warmly upon you.' You receive the Gleaming Crested Shield, which identifies as "glowing with a bright light." Final Steps Mark of Atonement Return to Reklon Gnallen. Hand him the Gleaming Crested Breastplate, Gleaming Crested Sword, and Gleaming Crested Shield. Reklon Gnallen says 'I never thought our order would see these artifacts again. With the return of these relics we can now put at ease a scar upon the history of our order. This cleansing will atone for his failure. Your soul must be pure to have given so freely of yourself. Go now, take this crested token of our order. If you wish to free his soul you must undertake another sacrifice.' You receive a Mark of Atonement, which identifies as "Mark of Peace." You say, 'What sacrifice?' Reklon Gnallen says 'Only this crest and the sacrifice of something that symbolizes your strength and purity will release his spirit into the cleansing flames of our lady Quellious. Go now.' Freeing Irak When Reklon mentions "something that symbolizes your strength and purity," he is in fact referring to the Fiery Avenger. The last step is to turn in the Mark of Atonement and the Fiery Avenger to Irak Altil in Fear. Turn in the two items together. Irak will then give you your new Fiery Defender. Irak Altil screams so loudly it echoes across the valley as the mark and flames of your holy sword touch his rotted bones. As his body twists he quiets and then speaks. 'Your selflessness has made it possible to redeem my honor. With the cleansing of my corruption your own soul has been strengthened. Your power comes from your devotion to your god and with this you have been rewarded. Remember always your purity, devotion, and why you have sacrificed. I must go now to sacrifice myself upon the spear of pain.' You receive your Fiery Defender! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This said nothing about going to Vox or Nagafen. everyone tells me i have to kill both for my epic...is this true or are they wrong?
Yes, You need the drops (2 book halves) from for instance those 2 dragons to complete the Fiery Avenger that You then give away as part of this quest for Fiery Defender.

Redo the quests after you get the FD. If you really have to have them, go camp the Ghoulsbane, redo the Soulfire, then the FA. Then redo the Soulfire. Then go camp another Ghoulsbane.
I doubt any pally in Everquest has all four of their holy swords, since they have to be turned in for the ascending quests. First one to do it ought to get a cookie or something heh

umm i dont think so. do you know how hard it is for a paladin to get the books? unless you lead the raid you have to roll against like 5+ more pallys every single time. i know paladins who still havent gotten their books at 60. i think it would just be a little selfish to take those books when another paladin could make some better use of them. why would you need to have a collection of holy swords anyway?
Anonymous
Why not? If you can do it, why shouldn't you own all of the swords?
Though I should note that theres another paladin epic- Nature's Defender. Making it technically a 5 sword collection.

Do you need faction with the peacekeepers paladin guild to do this quest, i few people have ask, and no one has said a word.
Anonymous
a good idea for the whole pally vs sk might have been to have both classes quest for the FA and then the quest could spit, the FD for the pally and the somethingor other for the sk.......dunno, just a thought

Hail! the looks on the defender are GREAT! the fire on it wont move exept with the sword, the fire IS the blade

if you went to PoG and ruined your faction, is there anyway to make it up, or anyway to still get your FD?
Thanks

There's indeed an easy way to recover the faction lost in a few hours (need clerics of Tunare faction?). I went to PoG and fought there (i don't worship Tunare), very big faction hits up there, so i became KOS to clerics of Tunare very fast.
Go to Crushbone, kill every orc you see there for a few hours (kill around 2k at least), after that go check your faction with Pandos in West Freeport. If he's dubious at least, start doing the muffin quest with Pandos (can last 2 to 3 hours!), until your faction with clerics of Tunare is maxed, and you're done :). Could be harder to do if you're KOS to the militia (take a friend with you who can invis)
Anyway, i would not advise any paladin in EQ to go hunt in PoG... Repairing faction in Kelethin/Felwithe is just boring but it CAN be done (you will remain KOS in PoG though).

no your faction is gone cant get your epic didnt the ppl u went will tell u not to hunt here as a pally?

WRONG!!! You can still make up your faction, it is just not going to be eazy. You will need to kill either the DE clerics in the 3rd gate of Neriak, or the Ter'Dal DE camp in Lesser Faydark, until you get enough faction to do the Muffins quest in FP. That will not be a fast or easy thing to do, but it can be done. If you want your epic(and who doesn't?), you will start killing the right DE's as soon as you get the chance =)

Bah!
I like this quest. I will stand straight up and say it. Playing a pally is not about doing the most damage and getting the glory, it's about helping others and combining efforts to achieve victory. As shown in roleplaying, our quests, and our skills (we're experts at stunning mobs, I mean come on what kind of glory is that?). A paladin's glory is shown in his/her heart, the true light that is our place in Norrath.
This quest is balanced very nicely. It involves eliminating VERY DIFFICULT evil mobs, helping others, and (for some reason Verant's favorite thing for us pally's to do) running all around Norrath to achieve our goal.
Keep in mind we ARE NOT GODS, and WILL NEVER BE GODS!! This weapon will never have +20 to every attribute and resist, or plus 50 AC, what you will. This weapon is what our epic should be, something that truely shows off a pally's glory (the awesome graphics) while having the stats that affect us most. Pally's can get by with higher delays because we are secondary tanks, and that's what we excel at. Yes, a skilled pally IS more beneficial then a warrior as a secondary tank, with our array of stuns, carefully timed taunts, and LoH (you haven't been greedy and used that LoH for yourself have you?).
Being a true paladin requires that you get rid of the haughtiness, and just love to play the game. We take time to master, and there are many who have the complete wrong impression of us. No, we are not a warrior, we will never hit for the same as a warrior, because we aren't made for that. It's our defensive spell emphasis that makes us who we are.
Now I know I strayed a bit from topic, but the fact is I wanted to post something pure, honest, and true on this site. Paladins have a bad enough image already, and I am one of those trying to correct it. ******** and complaining about an epic should NEVER be done of course, but be enjoyed for the fun and game. Even more Paladins carry a double standard, having hard (not neccessarily the hardest, but damn hard) quests from lvl 1 to 60, and STILL our character must remain truthful and honorable. Sure the roleplaying side is not required, but Paladins are some of the most notable roleplayers out there, so if you aren't at least somewhat of a roleplayer you have the wrong class.
The paladins character has been brought very nicely into the game by Verant, and yes, it's supposed to be a *****. I look forward to the many twists and turns this quest will offer, and am lucky to have the wonderful friends I have on Torvonnilous. Have fun, shut up, and get some balls. . . that's what the pally is all about.

I would just like to say that Dalantia put it very eloquently saying "First to die, Last to run, Never give up". I my self am a humble paladin of my Lord Savior Brell Serilis, and do my best to uphold the values and beliefs that our calling demands. Many have the times been when i have Stayed at the battle and put my life in the hands of my God so that my allies may survive long enough to make it to safety and was proud to have fought and died for them. hopefully the words and accounts of your fellow paladins will sway those of you that have left the light and follow less than rightous paths to return and be secure in your faith once more.

Darn right!
I've not been at this for very long (by most of your standards, I'd bet *grin*), but I'm very proud to be a Defender (even an outcast one). I know that my class takes skill and practice, and I think I'm getting slowly better at it. I know that there're quite a few people that'd grab me by the hair and drag me into their groups if they could, and I know that I'm at least as effective as a warrior.
I've lost count of the times that I've said "GO!" to the rest of the group while I've stayed behind and taken the damage that let them escape. I'm quite proud of when I've laid down my life to let the casters gate. For me, it's all a part of being a Defender. First to die, last to run, never give up, etc.
I'm quite proud to have one of the more difficult epics, and I intend to do everything I can to GET that holy sword, not only because it looks nice and has great statistics, it's also a part of what my character needs to redeem himself.
Find me in the forefront of every battle, yelling "For Erollisi!", stunning, healing, flashing, and fighting like a demon. *grin* I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm Dal Dragonet, Rogue Defender of Love, and I'm not going to back down for anyone or anything. *vicious smirk* Behind the womanizing and drunken exterior, there is (I'm almost ashamed to admit, because I've been denying it my whole career) an honorable, just, good, and noble paladin.

Here, Here! Nicely put, you have shedded new light on the paladin class. Though, their arn't many of us anymore I thinks, scecialy the dwarven type, sad very sad. And Verant must of had a reason fer puttin us in the game.

Maybe it's a server thing, or maybe it is because the game is gearing towards the point where everyone wants to be uber, and thinks they have to be uber tanks in order to acquire anything or get anything done, but I agree completely. Not many people are the honorable, just, pure, true, good, defenders of might and right and damsels in distress that Verant put in the game to begin with. Rarely do I ever see any paladins with that view on "life", no matter what their race is.
However, I have met two. One is a high elven paladin who I would gladly die for (though I'm a chanter and it happens as often as logging on), and another who is an erudite paladin. (Don't see many of those now, do ya?)
Glad to see that there are still some paladins out there on other servers who uphold the image as well.

I was wondering if we can multiquest in order to get the mark of Atonement. Anyone know ?

Yes Mark of Atonement can be Multi-quested, i did it the handing in sheild part for a pally in my guild who was kos to Elia the Pure. And i multi'ed with his Breastplate and Sword = Mark of atonement :o)

Posted: Apr 28 2001 at 12:29 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Shadows do get it harder, but the Beastlord is said to have the hardest epic to come. Needing a count of a 100+ 55lvl+ characters to take each of the mobs. They are trying to see if they could make this quest last a year. If so I think they'll change all epics to be like the Beasts'. Anyway this sword sucks, cool graphic, but non the less, it sucks. Now the rangers' and druids' swords are cool.

Can someone that has done the "Mark of Atonement" part of the Epic please post what faction you need to have with Reklon Gnallen to hand in all the items please? I am indifferent now, and will try to get to warmly somehow just in case.

Well, I had indifferent faction when I did the turn in and it worked. I have found no way to raise this faction since I am not liked enough to receive their quests... but just turn in the stuff now, if you have indifferent it will work.

I got my FD on Saturday March 31. Plane was clear except for Irak. Turned in items, everything was cool. I love it!

Today, Saturday, 17 March, at approximately 7:45am Central time, on the Xegony server, I had my Paladin Oreh in the Plane of Fear to turn in the items required to complete the Paladin epic quest for the Fiery Defender. I handed my Fiery Avenger and the Mark of Atonement to the quest mob, Arak Altil, and I had a main inventory slot open as well as spots open in large containers. He did not give me the Fiery Defender. There was no experience message. He did not thank me for the items. He didn't curse me as a mob does for handing in items with incorrect bad faction. He in no way reacted to me handing in the items with text nor action.
I'm not the only Paladin this has happened to since the last patch. I posted on the Paladin of Norrath message board and another Paladin has already responded that the same thing happened to him or her.

I'm glad you finally got your FD, Oreh. I've been reading about your plight and all I can say is tough luck but you got the goods in the end. Nice job.

Thank you

you are all complaining about handing in soulfire and gb for fa, and then fa for fd. now, what sane paladin would use a soul fire over a fieryavenger, or even more insane, a fiery avenger over a fiery defender. the fiery defender is so much better than the avenger. why would you want to use a worse weapon? stop whining about handing in the fa. without the fa, the defender quest would be far too easy.

Do you need to be warmly with Reklon Gnallon? How do you get Quellios faction up? I've looked all over for mobs to kill that raise faction enough to do the newbie quests and I can't find any. Right now I'm indifferent and they won't give me any quests. Please someone let me know how to raise faction. Do you even need to?

Anyone have Any info if the Books needed for this quest are actualy droped from Kunark Dragons? Everyone that I know and from these post they all say it's a rumor. and Don't actualy know. Need Real Info before I get to much of my hopes up.

They do drop. After all my time trying for the two books, I ended up getting my torn burnt book off the Emerald Jungle dragon. After over half dozen successful raids on him, it was the first book I saw drop. So, the books do drop...they are just rare is all. By the way, both books can drop from the Kunark outdoor dragons. They drop items off of both Nag and Vox loot tables, as well a couple unique items. Good hunting.

You do get faction hits when slaying Kirak Vil. dame hits as when killing any DE guard in Nektolus. This is the second time I've been in on the slaying and both times we got faction hits.

i have to agree with some of the older posts. imo this whole "epic" quest thing is getting out of hand. NO ONE is happy with there epic weapon (except maybe the warriors). i think the epic weapons should have stoped with the FA and then make some kinda Shadow Knight weapon...you know like good vs evil kinda thing. but NOOOO now i have to listen too all these people saying how much there little sword sucks compaired to someone elses.
