    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.

    In reguards to the level 50+ that are in CT farming the armor for the 1st part. The reason they are having to do that, is cause like myself I was out of dark forge armor before there was an epic qust.

    Pulling Kurron Ni?
    # Oct 25 2001 at 10:12 AM Rating: Default
    Ok he's 55 right, does he summon?

    I'm KOS to the OT Outpost now after a few weeks in Karnors (heh, my bad ;) ) and since most of the people who would be online to help me kill him are also KOS to OT would it be possible for me to run in invis, hit Kurron Ni and then head for the water and make a hasty swim around the outside to my awaiting guildmates? My swimming is at 192 so I've got no problems there, it's just that it'd be damn near impossible to kill the guy if the golems and stuff aggroed.

    Speaking of which, do the golems and dragoons aggro if you attack Kurron Ni? I have a pre-nerfed Circlet of Shadows that I can easily invis myself with the second I cast a spell on Kurron Ni. I could invis up, get a fair way away from Kurron Ni, cast Siphon Strength (1.5 sec casting time, 5 mana, best pull spell =) ) quickly hit my Circlet of Shadows and run past the Golem.

    Any feedback will be appreciated =)

    Yes he summons, quite well:-). You don't need to have your friends wait outside. I have never seen a guard any where near the corner he sits in. Just pull him down to the beach along the wall in the North East Corner of the outpost. Have your friends swim around the wall and meet you there. I did this guy last night with two groups of which only two of us were non-KoS here and we had no aggro issues. Be advised he does run after ya beat him near to death so you will need to control that.

    Iksars starting the quest
    # Oct 17 2001 at 11:20 PM Rating: Decent
    How would an Iksar even begin this quest? We are KoS in the Overthere outpost and we cant illusion ourselves to do whipquest. If Kirron Ni appears in the outpost, how is an Iksar to even initiate his quest? Same goes for Qeynos aquaduct guy. This is just plain rediculous. Iksars should have same chance as Dark Elf or Ogre for this incredible weapon, as if it isnt hard enough without being hated by other SKs...

    does anyone have the exact loc on Kurron Ni, and maybe a spawn time? Everytime im in the evil outpost i look for him, yet he is not where he should be, even at a glance. Please let me know.
    RE: does anyone....
    # Oct 14 2001 at 3:11 AM Rating: Good
    Kurron Ni spawns between the building in front of the bank and the water. It took about 3 weeks for me to catch him cause I guess people kept killing him before I could, but i think his spawn time is between 48 and 72 real hours.

    I accidentally said the trigger phrase before I could turn in the Darkforge and 900p. He did not drop the note when we killed him. You must turn in the Darkforge and 900p to get note to spawn on him.

    Does anybody know if you can just skip everything with Kurron Ni and go to the Hole, get the dusty tomb from a ratman, and turn that in to proceed? Or could you even skip that part and turn in the parts for corrupted ghoulbane?

    Thanks in advance

    Just to clear this insanity up. No you cannot just go kill Kurron Ni and get the note. You HAVE to give him the 900pp and the armor pieces.

    This item is no longer dropped by Cazic-Thule but instead by Terror Golem...Dread Golem...Fright Golem any of those three can drop it.

    P.S.: i have been told this by a person of high lvl and confirm the info with a 60th lvl SK. Any confirmation by someone else would be appreciated since i have not yet got the item to the time of this post.

    That should be discovered soon, since I would hate wasting such fine armor and coin on a cur such as he. My blood boils to think that I would have to GIVE that little swine one of my most prized possesions, and PAY him at the same time, just for him to turn on me like the backstabbing little smurf he is. His blood shall fill the etchings in my blade soon enough, and he shall truley find out that FEAR is the most powerful weapon of the Grave Lord!!!

    It's a little thing called a quest... ever wonder why high lvl people don't just do a quest, kill the guy they gave it to, and have the items to do the quest all over again?... I don't know what happens yet, but my gut feeling says you lose those items and money... just another way for Verant to get rid of the huge amounts of money floating around on the server (like tradeskills)... like that 1000pp for the dang elixir... the only thing I'm worried about is the possible idea of Ninja-Looting... i mean, Inny's Curse is looted? (granted anyone who ninja-loots an epic is gonna be in deep shiz-nit

    Well, Quest NPCs "eat" what you give them when you give it to them, I tried this out on the dwarves in WC when I made some crafted armor small. He didn't have anything on him after he gave me back the small bracers except some coin.
    Dying during quest
    # Aug 22 2001 at 12:55 PM Rating: Decent
    What if you happen to die while fighting one of these mobs that requre the 50+ groups? Most of the items you loot are no drop...so can you be rezzed in time to loot it or do the bodies decay as insanely fast as the ritualist and crusaiders in CT? Also if you fail to loot the item for any reason, can you just wait for him to spawn again or do you have to do the whole damn quest over from block 1? Also, I see so many high lvl SK's in Cazic Thule that are doing the Darkforge quest for the first part of Innoruuks Curse. Why dont they just keep the Darkforge they got when they were lvl 30?? That's what I plan on doing. As soon as I hit 50 or 52 I'm turning my stuff in to Kirron Ni.

    OK there is the deal on the L50 groups .... Rhazar,Caradon,Kyrenna,Glohnor,Lharnc are all level 55+ meaning if you die the Mob's corpse will not decay in any less then 30 mins...

    However the Ashenbone Drakes are only level 52-53 .. thay decay in 6 min's ...

    Most of the PoA Mobs that drop the BoA are 55-63 in level so thay normly dont decay in less then 30mins ... BUT Remeber NOT ALL MOBS in POA are level 55+ so if your not shure lotto it less then 6 mins.. always best to error on side of caution
