This quest begins with "a gleaming sphere of light" in the Plane of Growth.

You say, 'hail a gleaming sphere of light'

a gleaming sphere of light says 'I greet thee _____ you will have to pardon my demeanour I am afraid that I am not in the best of spirits. Recently yet another brother was taken from us from an evil unknown through the dark art of mind rending.

You say, 'What evil?'

a gleaming sphere of light says 'Somewhere there exists a group of outcast phantasmists that use their powers to only harvest true evil. These masters of the mind are of origin that we are yet to uncover for they only exist in ones thoughts. Slowly turning one insane from the horrors that pound through their mind.

You say, 'What outcast phantasmists?'

a gleaming sphere of light says 'These outcasts were once believe to be part of our circle before turning to the way of evil and using the mindbending abilities that they possess to take over those who knowledge would benefit them most.

You say, 'What mindbending abilities?'

a gleaming sphere of light says 'What these beguilers are capable of is unknown, but what we do know is that as each day passes we are all at risk from an attack that could very well end us. But there is a chance that if we could find the ancient tomes of their weaknesses, this evil could be stopped.

You say, 'What ancient tomes?'

a gleaming sphere of light says 'Legend exists that there are two lost tomes that cover the darker sides of Mind control. These tomes were last believed to be possessed by mortals much like yourself that stumbled upon them not knowing what they possessed because they could not understand the unknown code the books are scribed in.

You say, 'What code?'

a gleaming sphere of light says 'To prevent those that could not control the powerful abilities that these tomes described how to perform. These tomes were scribed of ancient language that not many could decifer. In search of someone that could assist them these heros fell in the city of giants.

You say, 'What ancient language?'

a gleaming sphere of light says 'As I told you before these books are distinctly coded to only be understood by those that have the abilities to perform and contain these magics. If these tomes were recovered it is very possible that I could decode them and develop an immunity to the mind altering attacks that I feel are upon us.



The tomes are found in the Western Wastes.

The First Half of Vin'Pekir's Tome drops off Draazak. The Second Half of Vin'Pekir's Tome drops off Kar Sapara.

The First Half of Al`Tariquil's Tome is dropped by Harla Dar, who roams near the zone to Siren's Grotto. The Second Half of Al`Tariquil's Tome drops from Esorpa of the Ring, a static spawn in the scar outside of the Temple of Veeshan.

Hand in all four tomes:

a gleaming sphere of light says 'In my hands I hold the teachings of those who gave their lives to produce a defense against the evils of mind control. For what you have done for me I cannot thank you enough; please accept this magical item as a reminder of my gratitude.

You receive the Wreath of Nature.

#Anonymous, Posted: Dec 14 2001 at 11:29 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) There is no such thing as an unchangeable KOS. I killed in Skyshrine first to get my Guradian Robe, was KOS and I've been killin giants since then, now back to amiably. It is hard and time consuming, but no faction is unfixable )

would anyone happen to know the loc at which the gleaming sphere of light can be found?

Two books in Kael?

There are two books found in Kael, the Book of Tactics, and the Book of Strategy. They can either be quested for or you can kill the Prophets to (rarely) get them.

The names though do not sound appropriate for books owned by "outcast enchanters", but it's a start...

Those quests are just great. I hope they will only be discovered slowly, so all those that dont bother with playing the character they put together will cry themselves to sleep looking back at how hastily they went from amiable to unchangeable KOS.

You can get him to answer more. He talks of two tomes you need to bring him to decipher so he can stop them.
