If you are a Dark Elf (and even worse, a Necromancer) and want to do this quest, you'll need to do a few extra steps. After retrieving the key from a priest of najena, you need to raise faction for Keepers of the Art before you can finish the rest of the quest. You can progression part way further if you have an enchanter charm Linara Parlone in Najena before you turn in the key, however afterwards you'll need to raise your faction. If you don't have an enchanter, then you'll need to faction grind before turning into Linara.

I went to the commonlands and bought about 3000 batwings (30pp total) off of the merchants there; there's an Erudite merchant in the middle of the zone that had them. Afterwards, you'll need to head to Felwithe and you'll need to bring someone who can keep invisible up on you. You'll need to seek out Niola Impholder in the mage guild. Even though she cons as scowling, she won't attack you. If you try to give her batwings, she'll reject you. However, if you open up the trade window and then have your partner cast invisible on you, you can then turn them in and receive faction. Also you can turn in up to 400 at one time, so you can get it done pretty quickly. Please note that this will only give you faction with the turn in mobs, and not the city guards so you'll still need to sneak around to finish.

Once you are finished with the quest, you'll most likely have to re-raise your faction with The Dead. I found that killing the arcane incantators / shapeshifters in nektulos forest (near the wizard spire) was the best, giving +5 faction a pop and having a fast respawn - it only took about 2 hours before I was back to kindly with The Dead.

Good luck!

A note to post for all of you interested in faction.....

I just verified this :))))



NOW for all of you who have messed up your keepers of the Arts Faction (evil Linlara Parlone)

Shrouding down to a rogue - sneaking and hiding behind Niola AND doing the batwing quest works!!! Using the formula I found by this kind soul who posted this in combination with the above website got me to warmly QUICKLY comparitively :) Takes about 30 minutes for 1000 batwings if you go nonstop (they stack to 100 now) - (excluding the ensuing insanity and numb fingers) This post is wonderful and thank you!!!!: (4 batwings to one faction point)

2100 batwings = 525 faction hits. Amiable spans 400 points, kindly spans 250.

With many sighs of relief and one VERY happy mage who can once again go HOME without being killed! :)

i was grouping with a level 57 mage (my 39 mage) in here since neither of us gets exp from thse greens, he was working on epic i was getting extra focus items for friend and he kills her... i'm like what the f**k, i lost no faction (did not help kill her) and she dropped the shovel and the torch!! so i don't know maybe its worth nuking the *****....

If you're looking to get your faction with The Dead up quickly, this lady is the way to go.

arg, i hate enchanter mobs. i was camping ekeros and the magicians around there for my epic (am a mage), and there was a group of people around level 30 hunting. a 27 dark elf sk got charmed by linda, and attacked me (it drove me crazy cause im a high elf, and why the hell would she attack me?). she charmed me (i believe she debuffed me too) and so me and this sk fought. i uncontrollably nuked him dead... and got a tell from him asking why i killed him and such. when i told him i was charmed, and not to blame me for being there, he said 'well youre high level you should have better resists than that.' well, i got news for you, maybe i SHOULD have better resists... but i dont, so get over it. besides, chanters debuff <shrug>. also had an iksar attack me in there, but my pet killed him and i couldnt get it to stop (the ds mainly tore him apart). anyways.. just watch out for her.

So there i was, after killing the priest of najena, trying to hail this little high elf enchantress. I hail her.. and blah blah i hate dark elves, so then i hop in her sell thinking why not, sounds fun, she conned green, i hail her again and starts to cast somethin... weird she debuffed me of sow, then sends pet. Ouch! so a druid friend(lvl 42) and i(lvl 40) nuke her to death. But... i want my mystic cloak! stupid Girl! Oh well, If someone can tell me how to get her to see me indifferently that woudl be great, thanx.

OK im a lv 15 pally whos getting the parts of his ghoulbane and i come to najena cuz i already got the blade and heart so this is the first time ive been here and im walking around and i kill a few elems with the help of a lv 27 AK and so we head thru a hallway and all of a sudden.... BOOM!!! the floor opens up around me and i fall in this $%#$%$% cell which i used to not have the key to so the elems attack me then she charms me and kills the sk and sics me on a lv 20 some odd ranger, 20 some odd warrior, and 50 some odd mage who are ouytside the cell! so im thinkin oh no a lv 50+ mage im dead meat but luckily somehow they figure out im a pc after i drop to a half bubble and they all (except the mage) get killed by me and so the mage runs and i end up patrolling around her cell for 5+ minutes until the mage shows up and cancels magic me or maybe the spell just wore off but im far enuff from the cell that i dont get aggroed so the mage leads me out and i never did get that hilt yet even tho i killed (not by myself) who knows how many "a skeleton"s and so i wish i knew why this wont drop but anyway i tell u i wont go just wanderin around anymore i tell u that!

I was able to us the Ball of Clay Golem (casts illusion of Earth Elemental). As an Agnostic Dark Elf Mage, I conned Apprehensively with the illusion of Earth (normally was 'Ready to attack'). If you worship Innorak, I believe you will con Threateningly (and thus will need to use invisible to give key -- you will pop during trade, but she should complete the trade -- give you the letter -- then attack you).

so does that mean u can give her the key while being invis?

My first time in Najena, I was walking around, when I fell in the pit. To my surprise her little pet started attacking me, but all of a sudden she took control me, and ran me around. I should say it was trippy, like running through all these walls, things stopping and than moving. I am inkie, and she brung me back up to the first floor. She ain't no bloody prisoner if she could do that!
