    NOTE: A patch on March 25, 2015, added a work-around to obtain items from Cazic Thule, Dread, Fright, and Terror:

    In the Plane of Fear, a harbinger of Fear can help adventurers get their epic 1.0 pieces that would normally drop from Cazic-Thule or the golems. These pieces cannot be multi-quested or traded. In addition, a harbinger of Fear can advance the Whistling Fists quest in the same way as Cazic-Thule.

    The Ungrateful Thief

    Kurron Ni appears in the Overthere outpost.

    You say, 'Hail, Kurron Ni'

    Kurron Ni says 'Out of my way, stranger, I am on a delicate mission. Interfere with my search and I shall relieve you of your head! Bother me no more.

    You say, 'What do you seek?'

    Kurron Ni says 'I have traveled here in hopes of finding a soul worthy of assisting me in completing my mission.

    You say, 'I am worthy'

    Kurron Ni says 'I doubt it, but I have been wrong before. Before I share with you the details of my mission, however, you must first prove your worthiness. Agreed?

    You say, 'Agreed'

    Kurron Ni says 'Very well then, my new friend. I have an acquaintance that stands in need of three pieces of Darkforge Armor. He requires the breast, greaves and helm to complete his set. I also must pay back a loan that has come due in the amount of 900 platinum. Return this to me and I shall share with you my dark mission, and the immeasurable reward that will be earned at its completion. Show your face here without fulfilling my request and I will offer you on the altar to Innoruuk himself. Be off!

  • After a hard task of acquiring the requested Darkforge items and 900 platinum pieces, come back to the Overthere. Hand the Darkforge Breastplate, Darkforge Greaves, Darkforge Helm, and 900 platinum all at the same time to Kurron Ni.


  • Kurron Ni says 'Well done, {your name} , I honestly didn't expect to see you again. Yes, yes, this is perfect! My mission is nearly complete!

    Kurron Ni looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'What mission?'

    Kurron Ni says 'My mission was to find a pathetic shadowknight and bring him closer to Innoruuk. You volunteered. By exercising my superior powers of persuasion, I have now taken from you a fine suit of armor and enough coin to ensure that I will be sleeping neither soberly nor alone for quite some time! Now I ask you, worthy shadowknight, do you not feel the fires of hatred coursing through your veins like never before? That is the very reward I spoke of! You have been brought closer to my master. My mission is complete! You foolish excuse for a dark knight, I shall take your head and tell all of your generous donation to the mighty Teir'Dal rogues!

    Kurron Ni punches YOU for 200 points of damage.

    Kurron Ni glares at you threateningly -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You find a Letter to Duriek on his corpse that reads:
    Duriek, I have searched this godless pit for what seems to be an eternity with nothing to show for my efforts. I pray to Innoruuk that you have made some breakthrough in your research. Please update me as to your progress. In the meanwhile I have run into some unexpected expenses and will need some funds to carry on. An additional ten thousand should suffice. Regards, Karnett



    The New Apprentice

    Duriek Bloodpool can be found in Paineel. Hand him the Letter to Duriek you have... found.

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Yes, most unfortunate. I was informed last week of the death of my most recent apprentice. A few months ago, I paid a substantial sum to a group of rogues sent from Neriak to collect on a gambling debt. He swore to me that was the end of it, but I suspected otherwise. My warnings of gambling with the rogues fell on deaf ears.'

    Despite what Duriek tells you, you receive neither item nor money.

    You say, 'What apprentice?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'As stubborn and foolish as he sometimes was, he was full of potential. Had he managed to achieve my age he doubtless would have surpassed my abilities. Though I am not surprised at his passing, he will be sorely missed. Well, I thank you for your efforts. Feel free to meet me in the tavern for a drink sometime. I must now get to the task of replacing my associate.

    You say, 'I will replace him'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Hmm, you seem a bit green and I hesitate to trust you with such an important work, but time is of the essence as my days in this world are running out. Bring me back a bottle of cough elixir and, if you are still interested, I will instruct you further.

    Head to Neriak Foreign Quarter. Find Smaka.

    You say, 'hail Smaka'

    Smaka says 'You want stuff? Or mebby you looks for a cure?

    You say, 'I need a bottle of cough elixir'

    Smaka says 'Ahh, you want me cure?! It cost lots of money, big big secret it is. Only us ogres know how to make. You wants? Only 1000 platinum! Make you feels bedder in no times!

    Head back to Paineel. Hand the Cough Elixir to Duriek.


    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Thank you. Now, quickly, there is not much time for me. What I tell you here now must never be shared with another soul. I have spent the better part of my life piecing together clues for the creation of a legendary dark blade, a corrupted Ghoulbane. I am very close to understanding the method used in manipulating the enchantments of the Ghoulbane, but in my current condition, I cannot finish collecting the research. My previous apprentice was searching for this last clue when he met his untimely demise.'

    Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'where was he searching?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'I possess a key that will open a sealed tome to be found somewhere in the ruins uncovered here not long ago. Recover that tome for me and I am certain I will be able to corrupt the Ghoulbane. My name will be etched in history and you will wield a legend! You must hurry now, and I must return to my studies. Do not return to me, {your name} , without the tome.



    More Work

    You find a Dusty Tome on its corpse.

    Head back to Paineel and hand the Dusty Tome to Duriek.

    Duriek Bloodpool gasps at you in astonishment, eyes beaming with pride and says, 'You've found it! It seems I underestimated you. You have succeeded where others failed. I feared it would never come to pass.' Duriek takes the key from his neck, softly muttering some words, and places it in a previously unseen keyhole. The book's hinges creak as Duriek pulls it open. After reading for a few moments, he says, 'It is even better than I had hoped! It will take me weeks to uncover a portion of what this book has to offer. But this is what I have been searching for, so many years! At last I know the items required to corrupt that accursed blade!'

    Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'what items?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'I will need the Ghoulbane, the Soul Leech, the Blade of Abrogation, and the Decrepit Sheath. Alas, I am far too ill to travel and collect these pieces. I must call upon your youth and ability again, {your name} . Return to me with these items and I shall be known throughout history as the greatest grave lord to have walked Norrath and you shall be among the most powerful in our art.



    The Corruption

    The Ghoulbane is in possession of the froglok shin lord in the Ruins of Upper Guk. (It also drops from Joren Nobleheart, a Paladin in Southern Felwithe, if you can handle the Level 60 fight.)

    The Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood is in possession of the God of Fear, Cazic-Thule, in the Plane of Fear.

    The Blade of Abrogation is at times carried by monsters in the Plane of Sky.

    The Decrepit Sheath is fashioned by Teydar. He is located in the Qeynos Aqueduct System.

    Teydar looks your way apprehensively -- looks like he would wipe the floor with you!

    You say, 'hail Teydar'

    Teydar says 'Hello {your name} , It's good to see another shadowknight. I'm Teydar, I've made it my life to fashion suitable scabbard and sheaths for our order.

    You say, 'Can you fashion a decrepit sheath?'

    Teydar says 'The object you desire is very difficult to fashion, nearly impossible, really. All I can offer to do is try. The real difficulty is the contents that give the sheath its power. They have to be of an almost equal evil. I think some kind of decrepit hide, a drake spine along with a bar of enchanted platinum should prove enough to make this item.

    Drake Spine can be taken from a drake named Rharzar in Rathe Mountains.

    Rharzar scowls at you, ready to attack -- it appears to be quite formidable.

    Rharzar hits YOU for 288 points of damage.

    Teydar says 'I did it! The pieces you got me were perfect! It took a huge effort on my part to craft this, of course. it saddens me that I'm unable to keep one of my best works. A deal is a deal. There is honor among shadowknights.

    Head back to Duriek and give him the Ghoulbane, the Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood, the Blade of Abrogation, and the Decrepit Sheath.

    Duriek Bloodpool takes the Ghoulbane and places the other swords on either side of it. The sheath begins to gleam so intensely, you can see the bones inside Duriek's hands. After several minutes, there is a final, blinding flash. Duriek collapses to the ground. After a few moments, Duriek motions you closer and whispers, 'You have done well. I wish fate had been kinder to me and allowed me your aid years ago, I might have lived long enough to enjoy the fame our combined efforts. I studied much of the tome you retrieved and have stumbled upon something that may be the key to unleashing darkness upon the face of Norrath forever. You must seek out a powerful lich by the name of Lhranc. Farewell, {your name}.' With his last bit of energy, Duriek places the corrupted Ghoulbane in your hands.

    The Cursed Being

    Lhranc is a ghost in the City of Mist.

    You say, 'hail Lhranc'

    Lhranc says 'Ahh, finally! He has sent you. No time to waste now, you must help me lift the curse at once!

    You say, 'What curse?'

    Lhranc says 'Can you not see my condition! I have been unjustly sentenced to an eternity in this wretched form you see before you, never to leave these walls. In exchange for the cure for this curse, I swear to show you a secret that would make you the most powerful of your kind.

    You say, 'What is the cure?'

    Lhranc says 'I require only four things of you, dark one, and one of them you hold now. Bring me the heart of an innocent, the head of the valiant, and the will of Innoruuk. With these, my curse shall be lifted at last and I will craft a weapon that will cast a shadow over all of Norrath. "one of them you hold" refers to the Corrupted Ghoulbane.



    The Ritual

    In Toxxulia Forest near the dock you may find Knarthenne Skurl, at -5, +1145.

    You say, 'hail Knarthenne Skurl'

    Knarthenne Skurl says 'Ah, you do not possess the heart of an innocent. Be gone with you!

    You say, 'what heart of an innocent?'

    Knarthenne Skurl says 'What's that? Heart of the Innocent, you say?! Ages, it has been, since I was last asked that. The Heart of the Innocent is an item of great power. Few are they who have ever commanded the dark magic of such an object. It is the bound soul of a pure mortal, rare indeed. Take this hollow gem, and combine with it the heart of one who is pure. If your hand is steady and your mind is clear, you shall have what you seek. You get a Soulcase.

    Marl Kastane may be found in Toxxulia Forest at +115, +2135.

    You say, 'hail Marl Kastane'

    Marl Kastane says 'Begone!! You do not have the will to do the things I require!

    You say, 'I have the will of Innoruuk'

    Marl Kastane says 'You speak of a myth, friend. Such an object does not exist in this age and the secret of its creation lies locked in my mind, where it shall stay. It has been passed down through generations in my line, not to be revealed to a soul until the prophecy has come to pass.

    You say, 'What prophecy?'

    Marl Kastane says 'My apologies, {Your name} , I have said too much already. Instead, I have an errand to occupy your thoughts. Take this as proof that you are sent from me and find my brother in Paineel. I haven't spoken with him in some time now and his well being is essential to our family's destiny.

    You get a Seal of Kastane.

    In Paineel, past the elevator, you may find Gerot Kastane. Hand the Seal of Kastane to Gerot Kastane.
    Gerot Kastane says 'At last! I have been waiting for my brother for weeks! We are doomed! Innoruuk will taint our seed into some perverse, twisted, maddened breed. The prophecy has begun to unfold and there are none capable of stopping it. Quickly, return this note to Marl, we must hide! We have failed the master! We must escape the hateful one's wrath!

    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3.

    You get a Note to Marl.

    You say, 'Hail, Gerot Kastane'

    Gerot Kastane says, '{Your name} ! My hero! I am at your service. I have been told to tell you all I know of the Head of the Valiant. Its construction is a mockery to the gods of Light, an abomination above all others. The method of creation of the Head of the Valiant was passed down through my family for centuries. All I require of you is the physical head of a valiant warrior. I have the rest of the materials right here to fashion this item for you.
    Head to Kerra Isle and hand the "Note to Marl" to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane reads the note, eyes widening in panic. He raises his eyes to you and says, 'This is grave news, friend. If the prophecy is allowed to be fulfilled, our strength will vanish into obscurity. Goodness and purity will spread like a plague across the land and the servants of Hate will be powerless to stop it!'

    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3.

    You say, 'What prophecy?'

    Marl Kastane says 'I suppose it is time for the secret to be shared. Ages ago, two brothers were born. Glohnor was highly favored by the pompous Lightbringer, whose name we do not utter. Lhranc was chosen by the Prince of Hate to bring destruction and turmoil to the sons of men. The one thing they shared in common was their love of the fair priestess, Kyrenna. Kyrenna fell deeply in love with Glohnor. When Lhranc discovered this, he was overcome with rage and unwisely attacked his brother, who happened to be far more adept in combat. The fight cost Lhranc dearly. He lost his dignity as well as an eye in the struggle. He was ordered to leave Freeport and live his life in exile from the only home he had ever known.

    You say, 'What became of Lhranc?'

    Marl Kastane says 'Lhranc wandered the deserts of Ro for weeks, sinking deeper into depression and giving in to rage. Reports from the local merchants and caravans had him roaming the dunes muttering to himself incoherently. Eventually, he was forgotten, blending in with the hermits and madmen common to that region, forgotten by all save one.

    You say, 'Who is the one?'

    Marl Kastane says 'Innoruuk had not forsaken Lhranc. Once his rage and hate had matured and sufficiently altered his soul, the dark prince summoned him and gave him dominion over the demons that had enslaved his mind. He was given a weapon that made him powerful enough to slay any enemy that stood in his way. He was to become the first human to harness the power of the almighty shadowknight. After years of traveling and teaching mankind his newfound abilities, Lhranc sneaked back into Freeport through a series of sewers in search of revenge against his brother and in hopes of kidnapping Kyrenna, the source of his obsession. Waiting until Glohnor was alone, Lhranc sprang from the shadows and slew his brother. This was the act that brought about his curse.

    You say, 'What curse?'

    Marl Kastane says 'As I said, Glohnor was highly favored by the Lightbringer. When the contemptible god of honor discovered what had been done, he transformed Lhranc into a deformed spectral knight and placed him in the ruined city. Lhranc then used what remained of his power to summon Kyrenna to his side and bind her there in a timeless, seamless sphere. He struggled for centuries to break her will and convince her to serve Innoruuk, certain that together they could remove his curse. But then, there was the prediction.

    You say, 'What prediction?'

    Marl Kastane says 'The prophecy states that one day Kyrenna will escape the clutches of Lhranc and that she will resurrect Glohnor. Together, it reads, they will destroy Lhranc and undo all he has done. I trust that I do not need to tell you, {Your name} , that this would decimate our foothold in Norrath. When the prophecy was written, its words spread across the land. A dark council was held to construct a plan that would frustrate the words of the prophets. My ancestors were responsible for robbing Glohnor's tomb and securing his remains. For generations we have been charged with the duty of guarding those remains and the secret plan, should the corpse be discovered.

    You say, 'What secret plan?'

    Marl Kastane says 'The plan is a last resort only to be tried if Kyrenna indeed escapes and the remains are discovered. Judging by my brother's words that time is now. It will take the most powerful hero all the courage and dedication he can muster to complete the ritual.

    You say, 'I will complete the ritual'

    Marl Kastane says 'It would seem we have no choice, and this is our only hope. I must first make a dark shroud. To do this I must stain it with the blood of an innocent. Go find me this rare blood so I can start the creating of the shroud.

    In the Hole, in a jail cell, you may find Caradon.

    You say, 'hail Caradon'

    Caradon says 'Please help me get out of here! My companion, Kyrenna, and I are trapped in this hellish place!

    You say, 'Who is Kyrenna?'

    Caradon says 'I was with Kyrenna when she attempted to revive the corpse of Glohnor the Valiant. Like fools, we rushed into a trap. Now we sit here and await our deaths.'

    You say, 'Where is Kyrenna?'

    Caradon says 'She is close by. For a price, I shall tell you. Bring me the key to my freedom and I will betray her, who sentenced me to this fate.'

    In the city area of the Hole you can find "a chest," which sometimes drops a Cell Key.

    Take the Cell Key to Caradon.
    Caradon says 'Kyrenna! We are free!

    The Ritual Completion or The Mummy Undressing

    Take Blood of Kyrenna to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane says 'Here, you take this shroud. You must now find the spirit of glohnor and place this item on him. This should force him back into his mummified body and then you must destroy this newly raised form and return to me its wrappings.'

    Lhranc says 'Ahh, at last I can free myself of this prison! Centuries have passed since I enjoyed the fruits of mortality.' He hurls the components above his head where they remain suspended in midair. They hover in place while he chants the words of an ancient spell. As he speaks, the items begin to rotate around his head, slowly at first, then faster as the chanting grows louder, until it spins in a blur. Soon, the room is filled with a deafening shriek that pierces you to the core. Lhranc hurls a coin at you and laughs, 'Here is your reward fool.'

    Your faction standing with True Spirit got better. (What is the actual faction hit here?) Receive Lhranc's Token.

    After a brief pause..

    Lhranc says 'Young one, you cannot fathom how long it has been since I breathed air and felt flesh on my bones. I told you I would show you a weapon that would make you the most powerful of your kind. I said nothing of giving it to you. Feast your eyes on Innoruuk's Curse mortal, thank you for your service. At this point, if you are not satisfied with his answer, you better start using some force.

    Auto attack on. Lhranc slashes YOU for 385 points of damage.
    ... You have slain Lhranc! You gain party experience!!

    Lhranc - Level 60 shadowknight - Immune from any spells. Procs a direct damage spell.
    Approximate forces required: three 50+ groups.

    Upon killing Lhranc, Marl Kastane appears nearby.

    Marl Kastane says 'Alas, I cannot be the one to carry the sword back to my people as proof in fear they will kill me to possess it for their own. I think a simple trade is in order, perhaps you have a symbol or token of Lhranc's that I could take back to the others to ease their worries?

    Hand the Lhranc's Token to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane says 'Very good, I will go deliver this right away.'

    You receive the Innoruuk's Curse.

    Your take a negative faction hit to Truespirit faction to 0 out the faction.

    heh epic ?
    # Jun 12 2001 at 10:29 AM Rating: Default
    hello


    last night in the hole ..we killed a mummy and it droped wrapings and head ..at that time i didnt realize that this was an SK epic part ...thing is at the time i was under the impression that this mob was triggered to spawn him .
    but for some reason he was there already and no one handed him anything . so my question is if anyone knows is he always there ? or was it just a fluke ??


    NOTE ::
    Take Blood of Kyrenna to Marl Kastane. Marl Kastane says 'Here, you take this shroud. You must now find the spirit of glohnor and place this item on him. This should force him back into his mummified body and then you must destroy this newly raised form and return to me its wrappings. Your faction standing with Truespirit got better You get a Dark Shroud. In the ghost area of the Hole you may find a Ghost of Glohnor. Hand the Dark Shroud to it. Shortly after a Mummy of Glohnor will appear. When you kill the mummy you will get the head of glohnor and the wrappings.

    anyways thats all i have to ask atm

    My guess is that someone triggered the spawn without realizing what sort of power it would take to kill this guy... our late friend is taking the big snooze in the dirt now. I remember not long ago someone did the same thing with Genaral V'Ghera (rogue epic mob) in Kithicor, triggered the spawn and then left the zone, hehe that was a bloodbath, all them poor halfling newbies. Anyway, just sayin, have a day.

    you know i think you might not have to do all of the stuff other than give him the ghoulbane but i don't rightly know. that would be cool.

    P.S. this will sound stupid but what is an ubber guild?
    Karnor faction?
    # Jun 08 2001 at 8:04 PM Rating: Default
    How does fighing in Karnors ***** up ur faction? Doesnt it go by true spirt faction anyways
    wow
    # Jun 04 2001 at 2:00 AM Rating: Default
    This is the most drawn out quest i have ever seen it would probably take months just to do this thing. This is truly a real quest...IMO


    W.A.Q. if you wanna know what WAQ means give Darkera a tell on Rodcet Nife

    A Worthy Curse
    # May 29 2001 at 2:32 PM Rating: Excellent
    Oh yes, this quest is hands down the hardest of all the epics...as it should be since this weapon is far superior to the other epic weapons that other classes get.
    RE: A Worthy Curse
    # Jul 25 2001 at 12:33 PM Rating: Default
    imho, this is now the hardest epic quest, but if you think back, look at the wizzy's epic, you needed a rare drop off of a once a week spawn, in a place you had to have a raid to get to, and have that same raid kill this mob! (skin of cazic thule)
    WOW!
    # May 25 2001 at 9:23 PM Rating: Default
    I am a lvl 16 Sk on Drinal and I just read this to see what it was like and HOLY CRAP is it long!!!! If i was to even attempt this it wouldnt be until I was 60 because I would be wasting time not getting experience while I can get other weapons to hold me over. This seems like a tough quest and I wouldn't even dream about attempting it until I am 60..hehe if i get that high :)

    For all that ask, all the steps are necessary. You cannot skip around on this quest, and it is well worth it. This is the only epic in the game that is TRULY a quest. The story is great, and I get just as much enjoyment of engaging the npc's in combat as I do killing them. If you can, follow as closely to what is recommended so that you can enjoy the story of Kyrenna and her love triangle! I will have IC soon, and woe be unto my foes!

    For those SK's that do not have this sword and plan on NOT getting it, to put it bluntly, you've got rocks in your head for brains!!!

    I just got my IC this past weekend and it blows away the EM and NB by a TON!!! There is simply no comparison and I am more then pleased to have it. The only thing that compares to it in Velious is that thing that drops in ToV(can't remember the name) but good luck getting that. Anyways good luck to all that are trying and keep going it's well worth the wait )

    Does anyone know the freaking spawn time on Lhranc? i heard it was 1-3 days and its currently moving into day 4 since he was killed last. i got all my stuff ready to turn in after 7+ months on this damn quest and now hes not spawning
    paineel np
    # Apr 26 2001 at 8:11 PM Rating: Default
    its really too simple on the paineel part all you have to do is gather shadows then head to warrens after about an hour of killin all the rodents you should have non KOS faction in paineel

    if you dont have gather shadows just think this maybe your just too low to even start thinking about it (unless your member of uber guild)
    Not all about the weapon
    # Apr 24 2001 at 9:23 AM Rating: Default
    Most of you don't get the point in the quests...they are supposed to be FUN! It's not just about getting the reward (well, that as well) but the only reason i REALLY want to get to a lvl where i can do this quest is so i can DO the quest not just get the weapon
    Question
    # Apr 11 2001 at 8:05 PM Rating: Default
    Do we even have to do the first parts of this quest to get this weapon. My question is "can we start by turning in the 4 swords and complete this?" please let me know

    # Apr 11 2001 at 6:28 AM Rating: Default
    Ok first part complete. The rogue in OT wasnt that much of a problem. I have a great guild. It's much tougher on my server (Tallon Zek) cause not only do I have to deal with NPC's I have to deal with all the lighties (I'm DE). Entering Paineel I bound myself right at the zone line. When I entered the room where Durek stayed another NPC (Necro) attacked me. He had a pet so I didn't think invis would help much. I brough that NPC outside where I had a friend root him. The NPC was green to me at 51 and hardly put a dent in my HP. I never was attacked by Durek. I brought with me the elixir and the note which I turned in without any problem. Only thing I got was exp and faction for Truespirit. I zoned out right after. I'll tell you more as I go along.

    Is the soulleech still dropping off of Cazic Thule? I have heard that his loot drops off the minibosses now and that he has all new loot.

    I need to know because my guild isnt able to take down azic anymore, but we should be able to take down the minis just fine.
    Kurron Ni
    # Apr 08 2001 at 12:21 PM Rating: Default
    Has anyone else had a lot of trouble finding Kurron lately? He used to always be there... I have had people looking for him for 2 weeks every day and no sign of him.

    I heard a rumor that perhaps he was changed/moved in the last major patch. Has anyone on any server seen him recently?

    Thanks
    starting the quest
    # Apr 04 2001 at 4:45 AM Rating: Default
    hey, if anybody knows - does one really need all the darkforge/kurron ni/cought elixir/dusty tome stuff done before ghoul bane can actually be corrupted? there's no reward for all the steps abore other than faction with truespirit so it may not be nessesary to bother. does anybody knows for sure?
    Faction whining
    # Mar 27 2001 at 3:24 AM Rating: Default
    The critical faction areas here people are complaining about are:

    Paineel - don't need faction here (wish I could get a key but oh well) - just get let in and invis to the guy and talk to him - on Truespirit faction.

    Qeynos Sewers - evil underground - even Iksar not KOS here by default unless you have hurt faction some how. Again, if necessary invis and go where you need to - he is on Truespirit faction.

    Outpost in OT - the NPC is on the sea side near the east end of town along the wall - go in around wall with group, hand in your stuff, and kill his sneeky rogue butt. Give me a break, you don't need OT faction, you only need the desire. Once again - Truespirit faction.

    I am doing my quest now, and although I'm DE, I've been killing in KC, Kaesora, and now Howling Stones for FAR too long. I can't go anywhere near the Outpost, yet my quest is now started and well along!

    We are SK, and I have dealt with being KOS most places my whole life - it is one reason we are so hard to play! Why would our epic be different, and to tell the truth others have it worse (mages for example have to kill Captain Rotgrime - he is far more difficult to get to cleanly, or even alone, and there are no DE mages at all...)

    This sword rules, but even if it didn't I'd do it so I could say I did. If you don't, then you won't be able to say that!!! hehe

    BTW - if the stats weren't enough - this thing looks sweet :)

    Enjoy your travels, as you may not be able to tomorrow!
    Ghost of Glonhr
    # Mar 24 2001 at 8:38 AM Rating: Default

    Where the heck is the Ghost of Glohnir? I've searched and searched for him, but cannot seem to find him. If you've seen him, where exactly does he spawn? Who/what is he near? Do I need to axe dozens upon dozens of revenants and hope he spawns? Does he have a placeholder?

    My thanks.

    Think they'll ever make high level content for those of us who CAN"T get multiple groups of level 50's together?
    RE: Nice quest for the power-gamer
    # Mar 19 2001 at 9:51 AM Rating: Default
    I'm sure they will. I just don't understand what part of the quest being *epic* do you not get? How epic would it be if it was doable solo?
    whoa

    after reading this quest i feel like i just read a fricking fantasy novel or some sh*t, jesus this is one long but interesting quest
    truespirit kos faction?
    # Feb 23 2001 at 2:35 AM Rating: Decent
    when does our truespirit faction go down in this quest? after we kill Lhranc or after we hand in the will of innoruuk, head of valiant, heart of innocent and corrupted ghoulbane? and how long will he stay around after the Innoruuks curse is popped?

    Cool Quest, Gw Verant.
    # Feb 12 2001 at 2:29 AM Rating: Decent
    Id just want to say that this quest is great, ive never done it as Ive never been such a high level but it just goes to show that when you DO reach such a high level you have PLENTY to do rather than sitting around giving items to newbeis which you can easily obtain at level 60. This Quest was an interesting read for me. :)

    You could probably make an entire RPG Game out of this storyline.
