Qinimi, Court of Nihilia

Reluctant Gladiator - light blue con to 75

He despawned shortly after I saw him casting spells in the arena. Was a golem model.

Killed a mastruq warfiend roamer near the natimbi zone line

One part of Druid Epic 2.0 takes place here.
As soon as a druid at the right step of his epic enters the zone Mastruq Commander Gorlakt along with his minions, the Spiritlord Mind and the Spiritlord Body, spawns in front of the southern building overlooking a courtyard.

Spiritlord Mind shouts 'Gather up, peons. The mighty Gorlakt, may his thoughts always be murderous, wishes to speak to you.'
Spiritlord Body shouts 'Be silent! Commander Gorlakt, the ideal of physical perfection, orders you to be silent!'
Mastruq Commander Gorlakt shouts 'You have become a burden to me and to Mata Muram. We are not pleased with you, not pleased at all. You are slow-witted and weak.'

After this motivating speech they go back inside.

First you got to kill the two Spiritlords.
Spiritlord Mind casts Mind Warp.
Spiritlord Body casts Body Warp.
Both got average hits of ~650, max hits of ~1400, 235k-250k HPs.

As the spiritlord dies, energy disperses from around the Commander. Without the constant attention of the spiritlord mind, the mastruq commander's spiritual power is lessened. At the same moment, power is transferred from the Spiritlord to Gorlakt as he absorbs the soul of his servant.
As the spiritlord dies, energy snaps back from the Commander into the corpse of his servant. Without the spiritlord body, Gorlakt appears to be less physically powerful. At the same moment, power is transferred from the Spiritlord to Gorlakt as he absorbs the soul of his servant.

After these two are down, Gorlakt attacks.
He uses both of his minions' spells, hits for ~1400 average with a maximum of ~3200, about 615k HPs.

The drop needed for progression in the Druid Epic is the Spirit Shard (pic).

An epic 2.0 chest spawns after the shard has been looted which contained goodies like
Glyphed Bracer of Conflict (pic)
Glyphed Breastplate of Conflict
Mask of Reckless Flame (pic)
Lightning Blackened Chain Coif
for us =)

PS: All three epic mobs cause negative faction hits with Hexxt and positive with Nihil. The two Spiritlords both dropped a piece of chalk on this occasion, but afaik this is a generic drop in all of this zone.

in the same room as a noc slaver and a broken ritesdancer I saw this unlisted mob . . . cons the same as the broken ritesdancer and the disgruntled penkeeper.

It is all actually quite simple to get into the blue dome, albeit you may wish you never got into it once you have. First off you need to hail Fezbin in Abysmal Sea and say "I want to help the wayfarers brotherhood" to get your preflag. Fezbin is located in the main cabin abovedecks. Once you have done this you head to Qinimi. Follow the right wall and when you get about to where the stone huts are you should see a half of a book's edge jutting out of a piece of stone rubble. Take this and return it to Taminoa in the main cabin in Abysmal Sea.

Taminoa will lead you to Councilman Sislono Nislan in Qinimi. He's located in one of the stone huts. Give him the (different) page you got back from Taminoa. Follow the dialog and he sends you on a quick collect mission. You need a Piece of Chalk, random from Qinimi mobs, Stonedust Particles, random from Riwwi mobs and a Glob of Mud, random from sewers mobs.

Once you have all these and return it to Councilman Sislono Nislan he will give you a Stone of Entry. Get a very good dps group for this. A warrior tank of paladin tank preferred for aggro reasons is required. Take your group to the south temple, you may need to clear a couple mobs or so, and head up the ramp inside the building and step onto the cirlce (pedestal).

When you are all buffed and ready say "I wish to enter" with your Stone of Entry on your cursor. You will be confronted with 3 waves of 3 pretty gimp mobs. Once they are dead the named mob and 2 guards will attack. Get them slowed and tanked ASAP. BURN down the named fast. Once the named is dead the executioner will become killable and will proceed to kill Kreshin if you don't kill him first. BURN him down. Save your disciplines for the executioner. Once he his dead you can loot up/kill the guards. All members of the group who have a Stone of Entry need to give it to Kreshin. He will thank you and hand it back to you with a Writ of the Magi.

Go back to Taminoa and give him the Writ. He will give it back to you (different) and lead you, again, to Councilman Sislono Nislan. Give Nislan the writ and follow the dialog. If you feel up to the challenge, amass 17 more people and tell Nislan "I am ready", and you will ported into the Blue Dome. DANGER: This ring is not for the average Joes.

I hope that I have finally shed some light on the mysterious Blue Dome.

Yeah, Ukun, those really ugly pooches. They are in this zone as well. Matter of fact, there's a central area with a slew of pens, each containing one of those bad guys. Also, there normally seems to be one that wanders near the two Nocs that are close to the Natimbi zoneline. Ukun are immune to run speed change, so no snaring or rooting them. They've got a nasty little proc like the nocs do. Proc has a poison icon and pure blood will cure it. Proc does damage for around 510-530, and the poison icon remains after that, which suggests to me that it may also debuff something. Didn't get the chance to check for debuff though, because Cleric cured me too fast, LOL. Not that i'm complaining about being cured quick, mind you...

Is named Hound mob in this zone that spawned inside the big Hound cage right inside zoneline from Natimbi. He dropped the 'Blackened Mantle of the Legion'.

Keep getting a 9th key and got a 10th key off the named mob with lots of chains, don't know what they are for. I presume there are 8 more...

Taskmistress is in Riwwi Zone-sorry

There's a level 67 named "Rav Krixt Tekrik" max hit on me was 3200. It was in here, just checked logs =)
