You say, 'Hail, Dom K`Perl'

I have few books for sale, but any good book is rare in the realm of Norrath. On occasion, I even have [rare finds]. Be sure to use good lighting when reading. Strain the brain, not the eye, I always say.'

You say, 'What rare finds?'

Dom K`Perl starts rummaging through a pile of books and scrolls. 'Oh yes, yes, yes. Rare books occasionally make their way to me. Ahhh!! I have one title, 'Before Green'. Sounds like a bit of fiction. What would you like to [purchase]?'

You say, 'I would like to purchase Before Green'

Dom K`Perl puts on a monocle and begins to look over the book. 'Hmmmm. Looks fairly valuable. In honor of the book's title, I shall allow you to trade for it with a fine emerald. What a bargain!'

Brain Bite (The Overthere) (Normal): Your location is 3139.86, 2251.72, -49.97.

Dyth X`Teria looks your way apprehensively -- what would you like your tombstone to say?

You say, 'Hail, Dyth X`Teria'

Dyth X`Teria appears to be the local master of wizardry. His garb clearly comes from the dark city of Neriak as it bears a black sun emblem. 'Speak!! I am dispatched from Neriak to this land by order of the king. I shall research [new spells] and aid the adventuring wizards. My knowledge of wizardry is offered to all in hopes of gaining information about Kunark.'

You say, 'What new spells?'

Dyth X`Teria says 'Within this lost land could lie the knowledge of extinct civilizations. I am ordered to seek out this knowledge for the empire of Neriak. So far, all I have discovered is a way to create a spell of my own design. I call it [Brain Bite].'

You say, 'What is Brain Bite?'

Dyth X`Teria says 'If you wish to own a copy of MY spell, Brain Bite, I would be glad to give you one. All I ask is that you [gather a few souls] for me.'

You say, 'I will gather a few souls.'

Dyth X`Teria reveals three ornate bottles. 'While I finished my research on Brain Bite, I encountered three [interlopers] who wished to steal my spell. I had the dragoon garrison track them down and dispatch them. Unfortunately, I forgot to instruct them to trap their souls with these bottles. Do you want to [take the bottles] and finish the job?'

You say, 'Who were the three interlopers?'

Dyth X`Teria says 'The garrison report was sloppy, to say the least. They informed me that Hampton was slain near some ruins within a jungle infested by raptors. Mardon was slain in an ancient city found deep in a jungle. Ryla was killed in a hidden fortress guarded by fierce armored wolves who walked on their hind legs.'

You say, 'I will take the bottles.'

Dyth X`Teria says 'The bottles also require a gem. You will fetch me the three gems and I will prepare the bottles and give them to you to finish the job. I need an onyx, a peridot and a star rose quartz.'

All three gems may be storebought. Hand them in:

Dyth X`Teria says 'This bottle is for the one called Hampton. If you look well, you can see his name.'
Dyth X`Teria says 'This bottle is for Mardon. You may be able to identify his name upon it.'
Dyth X`Teria says 'Identify this when the time comes. It is Ryla's prison.'

You receive 3 x An Ornate Bottle, which respectively identify as:

Item Lore: Hampton.
Item Lore: Mardon.
Item Lore: Ryla.

Head to Trakanon's Teeth.

Your Location is 275.07, -3801.88, -366.59.

a human skeleton regards you indifferently -- it appears to be quite formidable.

You say, 'Hail, a human skeleton'

a human skeleton says 'Save my.. soul.. Find.. wizard.. desp..'

Give him the appropriate bottle and it will despawn, then respawn about ten seconds later. You receive a "bottle of swirling smoke," which identifies as:

Item Lore: Hampton's Soul.

Ryla, a human skeleton, is located in a jail cell in Karnor's Castle. Take the stairs up to the roof and past the "Hand Room". After passing one corridor on your right, the next turn you come across is the jail. Give the correct bottle to the skeleton to receive a bottle of swirling smoke, which identifies as Ryla's Soul.

Mardon, a human skeleton, is located in the City of Mist reaver tower at location +136 -641. The skeleton is kill-on-sight, but you can do the turn-in from around the corner without aggro. Give the correct bottle to the skeleton to receive a bottle of swirling smoke, which identifies as Mardon's Soul.

Return to Dyth X`Teria with the three bottles to receive the Spell: Brain Bite.

Dyth X`Teria says 'Only three souls will get you my knowledge, wizard.'
Dyth X`Teria says 'Only three souls will get you my knowledge, wizard.'
Dyth X`Teria empties the bottle's smoke into a very large glass urn filled with similar swirling smoke. You think you hear the cries of a thousand tortured souls. He then closes the urn and hands you a scroll. 'Here is your reward. It will blast a foe's brain and hopefully, they may forget their hatred.'
Your faction standing with Venril Sathir got better.
You gain experience!! Reward: Scroll of Brain Bite

First things first though, you need to explore the burning wall near the Temple of Droga, to verify whether or not those hungry beasts are still there.

Step 3: Kill 10 goblin death callers

Step 4: Speak with Mikarsilla Selishshen

The farmer sends thanks for your quick resolution of the matter. You should visit the reward office and speak with Mikarsilla Selishshen, so you can be done with all this.

End:

Well done. Farmers always like to keep things calm and under control, mostly so crops and livestock don't get eaten or destroyed. You helped one such farmer today, and though it's noble, there are plenty more that may need help in the future. In any case, here's a small treat for helping out.

Ixpacan says 'As you should broodling. The the first is a brittle bone, which was once used for reincarnations. The second item is a poisoned soul, this is from an iksar that died a cruel and twisted death. The death was so awful, it's spirit still roams around angry. The third you will find in the burning heat. The final item is a gem of reflection. I have yet to find someone that knows how to create one. Even those fools in Cabilis probably wouldn't know. Maybe you can locate that one yourself. Bring all of these items back to me and I shall do the rest.'

Ixpacan gives you Ixpacan's Tome, a four-slot container. You'll need to obtain four items:

First Item: Poisoned Soul
Head to Emerald Jungle, look near the Cliff bottom in some of the ruins for an angered spirit. Kill it and loot a Poisoned Soul. This is a static spawn, so is pretty much always up.

Second Item: Gem of Reflection
Find Harbinger Glosk in the Cabilis Tower of Death (Cabilis West Necromancer guild).

You say, 'Hail, Harbinger Glosk'

Harbinger Glosk halts his chanting. 'You dare to interrupt me? You had best have a good reason. I care not for small talk.'

You say, 'Tell me about the Gem of Reflection'

Harbinger Glosk says 'I have not been asked that in ages but I can recall the last person that asked me. If you are in league with that scoundrel Ixpacan, I will slay you where you stand! But if you are not, you will not mind ridding your kin of a [menace] as of late.'

You say, 'What menace?'

Harbinger Glosk says 'It seems as though a rogue marauder in a jungle near here has attacked several of our trade suppliers. If you can bring me back his head I will gladly share the information you have asked for.'

A rogue marauder is found in Trakanon's Teeth. Kill him, loot his head, and take it back to Harbinger Glosk.

Harbinger Glosk says 'You have done well in doing what I have asked. To make a gem of reflection you will need some Mt Death mineral salts, a green goblin skin, spiroc bone dust, essence of rathe, blue slumber fungus, and a vial of pure essence. Combine all of these in this container and you will have what it is you seek.'

Harbinger Glosk gives you a six-slot container, Glosk's Sack. Go get the six items and combine them in the sack to get a Gem of Reflection:

Pure Essesnce (no drop) - from a named drixie, Marinda Flockwings in Firiona.
Mt. Death Mineral Salts - from goblins in Frontier Mountains, Droga, Nurga.
Green Goblin Skin - also from goblins in Frontier Mountains, Droga, Nurga.
Spiroc Bone Dust - from Spirocs in the Timorous Deep.
Blue Slumber Fungus - ground spawn in Lesser Faydark, also dropped by myconids in Sebilis.
Essence of Rathe - a spell research item from countless mobs all over Norrath.

Combine these six items to get the Gem of Reflection.

Third Item: Brittle Bone
Head to Charasis. Brittle Bone is a random drop off any skeleton in the zone. You need not even head into a wing to get this drop, falling off the entrance and killing the skeletons in the basement is all you need to do.

Fourth Item: The Burning Heat
Head to Skyfire, from the druid zone-in head north to the first volcano you see (shows up as a lake of lava on the map, there are three in the zone, you want the one north and closest to druid portal). Climb to the top and jump in the lava. A lava walker will be floating inside the lava. The Lava Walker looks like a chromadrac drake, cons indifferent. Pull him out of lava and kill him. He drops the orb you need.

Now, combine all four items and hand the tome to Ixpacan in the Overthere.

Ixpacan says 'Wonderful! You have brought all of the items I have asked for. Your future seems very bright with the rest of the Sages. Step back now as I conjure the child of Charasis.'

As Ixpacan starts his incantations, you can see an image begin to appear from the shadows.

Ixpacan says 'It's out of my control! Defeat it before it destroys us both!'

A Child of Charasis spawns. Kill it, loot it's remains, then turn them in to Ixpacan.

Ixpacan says 'I see now that I lack the skill necessary to control the Dark Arts. Maybe it would be wiser to allow another such as yourself to continue forward. Please accept this token as a reward in your mastering of the Dark Arts.'

You receive the Demi Lich Skullcap. Reward: Demi Lich Skullcap
Necromancer Spells (Normal): Vaean the Night is located at +2765, +2330.

Vaean is on Venril Sathir faction and won't speak to you unless you are of a certain faction level (lowest known to work is indifferent). You can get around this requirement if you sneak.

You say, 'Hail, Vaean the Night'

Vaean the Night says 'Ahh, welcome! More souls to succumb to the inhabitants of the Outlands! My army of undead will grow stronger by the day, but it would be a pity if you perished before doing a [mortal bidding] for me.'

You say, 'What mortal bidding?'

Vaean the Night says 'I see it as a win-win situation for me. If you succeed, I'll gain more power from the knowledge you bring back to me. If you fail, you become another addition to my undead minions. Thus, you cannot fail me in returning a scroll of Splurt, Defoliation, Covergence, or Thrall of Bones. In return, I will part with a scroll of mine.'

Hand in one of the requested scrolls:

Vaean the Night says 'Here is the scroll that I promised. We have both gained much knowledge today. I hope to do business with you again soon. Farewell!'

You gain experience!! Reward: Spell: Shadowbond
Reward: Spell: Minion of Shadows
Reward: Spell: Scent of Terris
Reward: Spell: Sacrifice

Captain Rottgrime has a multitude of cracks and holes in his skull from his many battles. 'Attention, marine!! You will go into battle and fear nothing! You shall prevail over one enemy and then you shall be sent back into battle! We [shall not allow those sarnak to overtake the Danak shipyards]! Is that clear, marine?!!'

You say, 'I shall not allow those sarnaks to overtake the Danak shipyards.'

Captain Rottgrime says 'Stand up straight!! That's correct marine!! YOU shall not allow the sarnak to overtake the shipyards!! Head out to the frontlines, marine!! Kill the berzerkers and return their war braids to me!! For every four, you shall earn your wages!!! Now get to the front, marine!! Move it!! Move it!!'

Hand in 4 x Sarnak War Braid, dropped by "a sarnak berserker".

Captain Rottgrime says 'Keep up the good work, marine.'
Captain Rottgrime says 'Keep up the good work, marine.'
Captain Rottgrime says 'Keep up the good work, marine.'
Captain Rottgrime says 'Great job, marine!! Word of your heroics shall be passed on to the Admiral. If you don't have a shield, then take one. If you do, then get back to the front lines. This is no time for R n' R!! Move it, marine!! Or you'll be pushing Danak till the cockatrice crows!!'

Your faction standing with Venril Sathir has been adjusted by 8.
You gain experience!!
You receive 2 gold from Captain Rottgrime.

You receive a Guard of the Marines.
Reward: Guard of the Marines
Revenge for Vaxxim (Normal): Once Vaxxim T`Quoren has been freed from slavery in the Temple of Droga, he will respawn in The Overthere. He wants you to bring him three drogan earth totems and Gamolk's Ring of Spirit (drops off Earth Seer Gamolk). Reward: Soft Leather Bracer of Gore
Rise of the Dead (Incomplete): This is a Medium task.

You're just in time to help out with a huge problem. It seems all the ingredients for the weekly baking contest have been stolen! Without those ingredients, no one will be able to make cakes and the whole event will be ruined. Some people think a giant snuck in and stole them ingredients in the middle of the night. A giant that can sneak? That's preposterous. You need to find out who it was that took the goods and there is one person that may have witnessed it. Go find and speak with Gnort Fleshblade.

Step 1

Speak with Gnort Fleshblade in The Overthere.

Subsequent steps, dialogues, and experience award needed.

Reward is 116 p, 8 g, 7 s, 5 c.
Shadowknight Epic: Innoruuk's Curse (Normal):

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

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.

    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!

    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.

    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!'

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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 say, 'Hail, Historian Azern'

    Historian Azern says 'Greetings to you, strange one. you look like the type who seeks out great quests of lore and myth, perhaps you would like to assist me in the retrieval of an ancient [book].'

    You say 'What book?'

    Historian Azern says 'Yes, I speak of The Green Fog, and ancient book once lost down in the Howling Stones. If you believe yourself to be worthy, seek out this artifact and return it to me. Legend has it that it tells a story of how the Iksar revolted against the Shissar empire right here, where you stand!'

    The Goblins of Nurga (Unsolved): You're just in time to help out with a huge problem. It seems all the ingredients for the weekly baking contest have been stolen! Without those ingredients, no one will be able to make cakes and the whole event will be ruined. Some people think a giant snuck in and stole the ingredients in the middle of the night. A giant that can sneak? That's preposterous. You need to find out who it was that took the goods and there is one person that may have witnessed it. Go find and speak with Khai Kar.

    The New Worker (Normal): "an undead foreman" may be found at +2385, +3305.

    You say, 'Hail, an undead foreman'

    an undead foreman turns to face you. You can see a faint green glow emanating from his vacant eye sockets. 'Are you a [new worker]? Huh? Speak or go!!'

    You say, 'I am a new worker.'

    an undead foreman says 'Hmmph!! Too much flesh!! If you want to work, you must first fill my eye sockets with my favorite gem. This shall be your payment for your Sledgehammer.'

    His favorite gem is jade. Give him a Jade.

    an undead foreman places the gem deep into his hollow eye socket. He pulls a giant sledgehammer from thin air and hands it to you. 'Here!! You shall be assigned to the lower decks of the Scaled Trident.'

    You receive a Worker Sledgemallet and no experience, faction hits, or coin. Reward: Worker Sledgemallet
    Trooper Scale Boots (Normal): Drixiv Arcut says 'You wish the boots worn by the ancients? Then you must first master the virtue of confidence. For our brothers of the dead, confidence is the virtue that allows them to control the forces that would tear them apart if they knew it not. When a warrior steps, he must be confident, for a weak step cannot crush your enemies. Take this note to the current Harbinger in Cabilis and learn from him.

    Harbinger Glosk hisses and says venomously, 'And I am disturbed yet again. I hope for your sake it is important.' The gaunt necromancer looks down at the paper in his hands and after reading a few lines gasps, then falls into a violent coughing fit. After recovering he takes a deep breath, puffs his chest out and hands the paper back to you. With his head held high, he says in a raspy voice, 'Show this to Rixiz. He will test you.'

    Master Rixiz takes the note and after reading a few lines opens his eyes wide in astonishment. He looks up at you and stares at you a while before he says, 'You spoke to the Brothers? A common soldier such as yourself interested in silly stories to frighten broodlings? Fine, then. You shall know confidence, if you live. If you have the strength to stride into a lair, go before the owner, and kill that thing in its own home, you will acquire a small part of the virtue we as necromancers must master to ply our art. In the Frontier Mountains lives a unit of the troublesome burynai. Invade their home and destroy their leader. Bring me proof and two fire emeralds.' Reward: Trooper Scale Boots
    Trooper Scale Bracer (Normal): Drixiv Arcut says 'The bracers of our ancestors embody righteousness. When we strike, and our forearms are soaked in the blood of our enemies, our purpose must be pure. Else that blood will burn our souls and anger that which we live for. Go and find the Archduke in Cabilis and give him my note. He will teach you of righteousness. For if our chosen did not know righteousness, our people would not be. Go!

    You receive Illegible Note: Bracer. Hand it to Arch Duke Xog, a Shadow Knight Guildmaster in East Cabilis.

    Arch Duke Xog takes the note and glances at it briefly then lets out a heavy sigh and stares out over the city for several minutes. Finally he says quietly, 'Several months ago we lost contact with one of our crusaders. His name is, or was, Geanik. The last we heard from him he was furthering our cause against the loathsome Goblins that reside in Warsliks Wood. Just recently we were visited by a [strange Iksar].

    You say, 'what strange iksar'

    Arch Duke Xog says 'Yes, he was dressed in rags and hadn't eaten in days. He rambled on about seemingly nothing, obviously he had lost his mind at some point. The guards brought him in because he told them he had valuable information concerning a captured Crusader. According to the mad man, our missing knight was captured by a group of cultists that follow a false god. The cultists intend on converting him apparently. Your [test] will concern Geanik.

    You say, 'what test'

    Arch Duke Xog says 'Learning Righteousness is learning to listen to one's own heart. At all times our Lord of Fear speaks to us. Our heart is through which he speaks. If we are pure in action and undistracted in mind we can hear the very words of our Father. Your test will be to find our lost Crusader. When you find him you must listen, and act based on what you hear. If your actions are Righteous, I will give you my reference. Bring me proof of your action and two sapphires.

    Kill an Iksar prisoner in Crypt of Dalnir and loot Traitor's Heart. Bring the heart along with 2 Sapphire to Arch Duke Xog and he gives you a Reference.
    Reward: Trooper Scale Bracers
    Trooper Scale Breastplate (Normal): Xlixinar Arcut says 'The monk is the master of focus, the shaman of sacrifice and the shadowknight of righteousness. Lastly, our brothers of the dark know confidence. It is then our duty to know perseverance more than any other. When others fall from spear and sword, we must stand. When others are washed away by fire and ice, we must stand. When others are frustrated and confused, we must continue on. There is a warrior in the swamp near the city. He is an exile, like my brother and I. He knows more about

    Grik the Exile snickers to himself and looks out over the swamp for a moment before saying, 'Perseverance is indeed our greatest virtue. Perhaps if we as warriors looked more to cultivate our virtue rather than to hoard glory our people would be rulers of this entire land. I will send you on a [mission] to learn of perseverance.
    If you complete it I will give you my reference.'

    You say, 'what mission'

    Grik the Exile says 'If you have not noticed the new intelligent races that have found it's way to our land, you will see soon. They have built a small outpost far to the south along the ocean. If they go unchecked, their outpost will become a city from which they will cause us much discomfort. They are strong and have experienced [mercenaries] in their employ.

    You say, 'what mercenaries'

    Grik the Exile says 'Yes. In particular, a company of mercenaries commanded by a human known as Streaven. He has personally thwarted an operation I was in charge of. I will make him pay for his interference. You will kill Streaven. But first you must [draw him out], as he is not a fool.

    You say, 'how do I draw him out'

    Grik the Exile says 'While Streaven is not foolish he has made a mistake. He's taken a young and ambitious noble on as an officer in his company. This noble represents a source of funds and as such Streaven most likely will come to his aid if endangered. Our spies have reported that he has been implanted with some sort of device that will alert the commander of any danger. You must retrieve this [implant].

    You say, 'what implant'

    Grik the Exile says 'The implant is buried deep within this noble's head. Retrieving it will most likely leave quite a traumatic wound. Once you have the implant you must take it to an agent that will be in the area. This agent is one of the Kotiz Brood, a necromancer. Her name is Vekis and she will be able to activate the implant and draw Streaven out. She will only appear after you have dispatched the noble and she will go back into hiding shortly there after, so you must [find her] quickly.

    You say, 'where do I find her'

    Grik the Exile says 'She will be near one of our ancient statues along the coast. You need only hand her the implant for her to activate it. Once he is away from the guards you will have your chance. Bring me Streaven's Head and 3 rubies and you will have your reference for the Arcut. Remember that your perseverance is your greatest virtue and will carry you to victory always. Reward: Trooper Scale Breastplate
    Trooper Scale Gauntlets (Normal): Drixiv Arcut says 'Our hands are our most useful and deadly instruments, after our minds. When we use them other than in service of our lord and ancestors, our actions are false. Without knowing righteousness we can never be sure if our actions are in the name of fear. The Chosen, the Crusaders of Greenmist, know fear intimately. Their actions are never without the blessing of our lord. Take this note to the Archduke. He will recognize my writing and instruct you.

    Arch Duke Xog takes the note without even a glance in your direction and begins reading. After a long silence, he lets his arms drop to his sides and says quietly, 'We kill, Glaakt. That is our job, our duty in life. Our targets are chosen for us. We merely listen. Right now I am being told there is a traitor not far from here, near the ocean. Go to him and end his life. Bring me his head, and two star rubies. As you do this, try hard to listen to our Lord's instruction. If you hear even a whisper, you will know more righteousness than most of this city.' Reward: Trooper Scale Gauntlets
    Trooper Scale Greaves (Normal): Drixiv Arcut says 'Our legs move us forward. If we move with hesitance we will surely fall and leave our charge exposed. Before you can wear the greaves, you must learn from the Brood of Kotiz. For if they did not wield their powers over the dead with confidence, their life forces would be sucked from them instantly, leaving them empty husks. Take this note to the Harbinger and listen to his instructions.

    Harbinger Glosk snatches the note out of your hands, obviously irritated. After reading a few lines, he glances up at you, his brow furrowed, then looks down again to continue reading. When he's finished, he hands the note back to you and takes a deep breath, shuddering slightly. He then says, 'Xydoz. Take this to Xydoz. He will test you.' The Harbinger watches you carefully as you leave.

    Master Xydoz snatches the paper from your hand and hisses in anger. Without even looking at the paper he growls, 'WHAT?! What is this tra...' He stares down at the paper, mouth hanging open wide in disbelief. He finally continues, saying, 'Very well, then. If you wish to know confidence I have a task for you. Our hated enemies, the sarnak, have a tome we have sought to return to our libraries for centuries. At this point, we believe it to be found in a small fortress they maintain near the Great Lake. One of their scholars will most likely have it on their person. Bring it to me along with two star rubies.'

    Bring him two Star Rubies and an Iron Bound Tome from Advisor Sh'Orok in the Lake of Ill Omen fortress for your reward. Reward: Trooper Scale Greaves
    Trooper Scale Helm (Normal): Xlixinar Arcut says 'You must first learn focus before being awarded the legionnaire scale helm. The Swifttails are the masters of focus and as such you will learn from the Grand Master of the Court. It has been so long, I do not know who is Grand Master now. Whoever it is, give him this note and follow his instruction. Once you have learned, return to us and the helm will be yours.

    Grand Master Glox sits whispering incoherently for a long moment before even regarding the note you dropped in front of him. The Grand Master suddenly snatches up the note from Xlixinar, removes a small charcoal marker from a belt pouch, and scrawls some intructions upon it. He drops the note immediately after finishing and resumes his meditation without a word.

    The note reads:

    "Glox's Instructions

    Atop the ancient tower of Kurn lives a mole. This mole has unwittingly taught the Swifttails much. It has taught us focus. Go into the tower, sit and meditate near his burrow, and settle yourself. When it peers out to look for food, use all of your pent up ferocity and kill the mole quickly. Upon its neck will be a collar. Return to me the collar and 2 star rubies and I will give you my reference for the Arcut." Reward: Trooper Scale Helm
    Trooper Scale Pauldron (Normal): You say, 'Hail, Xlixinar Arcut'

    Xlixinar Arcut sighs heavily and after a long while says, 'Leave us, Iksar. Leave us to our eternal damnation.'

    You say, 'curse'

    Xlixinar Arcut twists his face into a frown and says, 'You read what's written, Iksar. It's clear enough so we won't bother to explain the details. We can only stand our guard and hope for [redemption].'

    You say, 'redemption'

    Xlixinar Arcut grits his teeth and snaps, 'It's very simple, ______! We are fallen! We seek redemption! We guard our 'brothers' here among the Howling Stones until we are relieved. Whether that will ever happen, we do not know. We can only hope that by providing the great warriors of the legion with our [ancient armor], we will earn salvation.'

    You say, 'ancient armor'

    Xlixinar Arcut says 'You wish the armor of our ancestors? The armor donned by the Guard whose duty was to protect the Chosen? A warrior relies not on strength alone, but many virtues. If a warrior learns to balance each virtue, then he may be fit to guard the Chosen. Each piece of armor reflects a [virtue], and each virtue must be learned before the armor is given.'

    You say, 'virtue'

    Xlixinar Arcut says 'The armor I keep are the symbols of focus, sacrifice, and perseverence. The [helm], [pauldrons], [vambraces], and [breastplate]. You must bring me proof that you know these virtues before attaining the armor I keep. I also will need a piece of Banded armor of the type you desire. My brother keeps the other pieces.'

    You say, 'pauldrons'

    Xlixinar Arcut says 'Upon our shoulders we carry the virtue of sacrifice. Our bodies are ruined in the name of our Lord. Pain and suffering please him and our ancestors. Without knowing sacrifice, a warrior can never protect his charge from harm as he sees himself as greater than his duty. The mystics embody sacrifice. Find their highest authority and give him this note. He will recognize it.'

  • You receive Illegible Note: Pauldron.

    The details on this are sketchy. A Scorpiki named Xlixinar Arcut sends you with a note to Prime Hierophant Vek. He will tell you of a potion he needs you to make. The potion is called Spine Poison Extract and is baked (trivial 21). It requires Gray Colored Ice (ground spawn on the highest peak in the Frontier Mountains), two Pondfish Spines (dropped by Pond Sturgeon in the Lake of Ill Omen), and a Pot (crafted via smithing or pottery).

    Next, brew Grayish Liquid (trivial 21) by combining the Spine Poison Extract, Hopeless Willow Moss (foraged in the Swamp of No Hope), a Water Flask, and a Bottle. Give this to A Froglok Slave.

    Trooper Scale Vambraces (Normal): Xlixinar Arcut says 'Our arms carry more than the weapons of war and the hands that make use of them. We sacrifice the strength in our arms to carry our duties and obligations. Unless we can sacrifice our own bodies and abilities to carry these ideals, we will never be fit to protect the Chosen. Take this note to the master of the mystics in Cabilis, he will teach you a lesson in sacrifice.'

    Prime Hierophant Vek stares down at the note, confused, until he recognizes the writing and gasps in shock! 'You spoke to the Brothers? You, a simple Legionnaire? Well, no matter, you are here to test your virtue of sacrifice and we will take pleasure in it as we have for generations even before the Fallen Brothers. One of our greatest allies in pain is disease. In the woods outside our fair city is a small tribe of goblins. There is a certain goblin famed for his [unique weapon]. Take this knife and use it to cut this from the goblin. Then return his weapon, the knife, a sapphire, and an opal to me.'

    You say, 'What unique weapon?'

    Prime Hierophant Vek says 'This goblin is known as a pit fighter. Though they are small, weak, and unintelligent, they still maintain a level of ferocity that surpasses that of most wild animals. This, along with a disgusting and perverse imagination, has allowed these pit fighters to reach heights of physical power most Iksar never see. This particular fighter uses his tongue liberally while fighting. He has ingested many deadly contagions and licked things from the slimy surfaces of the darkest and dankest crevasses imaginable. His tongue will do well to further our cause in pain and suffering.'

    Need name of note, name of knife, and hail and hand-in dialogue. Reward: Trooper Scale Vambraces

    Yiln's Missing Tomes (Normal): You say, 'Hail, Yiln Darksly'

    Yiln Darksly looks up at you and tries to talk, but instead coughs up a large amount of water. He is soaking wet and covered in sand. 'Those damned [trolls]! They stole everything and destroyed my ship! The House] will have my head over this!' Yiln coughs violently.

    You say, 'what house'

    Yiln Darksly says ''I work for a trading house run by a group of nobles in Neriak. They are not known for being too forgiving when their [valuables] are lost''

    You say, 'what valuables'

    Yiln Darksly says ''We were hauling many things. The one thing in particular that I am worried about was a trunk full of tomes. I do not know what they were about exactly, but my masters explicitly told me not to let them leave my sight.' Yiln coughs. 'I have got to find those tomes!' Yiln tries to move but yells out in excruciating pain. I cannot get up. You must go to Paineel and find [Jerith]. Tell him I sent you and tell him about Osaftars. You will be rewarded well for your time. If you recover the books bring them back to me.''

    You say, 'who is Jerith'

    Yiln Darksly says ''Jerith works for me. He
    sells many of the items that I acquire in my travels. He also is familiar with many of the pirates that sail the seas attacking merchant ships. He should hopefully know what to do.''

    head to Paineel and find Jerith

    You say, 'who is Osaftars'

    Jerith says 'Osaftars did you say? Jerith knows this name. Osaftars is a scourge of the seas. He takes what he wants and does what he wants. He is a captain of a ship. Yes, Jerith does believe the ship's name was the Stormwave. It can probably be found in the port town of [Dulak].'

    You say, 'where is Dulak?'

    Jerith says 'Dulak is a pirate town on the island of Broken Skull Rock. A dangerous place. There is a ship that Jerith has taken to get there from the shores of the Stonebrunt Mountains.'

    head to Dulak's and hunt the Stormwave till the Trunk of Missing Tomes drops.

    head back to the Overthere and hand the trunk to Yiln Darksly

    Yiln Darksly looks a bit better now, having cleaned most of the sand from his body and drying off a bit. 'I hope you made those pirate scum pay with their lives! When I get back to Neriak, I assure you that my first priority will be planning my revenge. You're lucky, this item washed up on shore from the wreckage of my ship. You can have it. Farewell.'
