[edit] Steps

1. Enter the West Freeport Militia Building, go down the stairs to the jail and hail Kaherdin Surechest ( 140, -25, 150 ) /waypoint 140, -25, 150.
2. Take Valeron Dushire's Testimony to Blurrp Braveblade in The Lesser Faydark ( -261, -67, 371 ) /waypoint -261, -67, 371, standing on a rock in the river near the Fae Court. He will then send you to the Celestial Watch in North Qeynos to speak to Priestess Wenhaver.
3. Speak to Priestess Wenhaver in North Qeynos at the Temple of Life ( 10, -4, -11 ) /waypoint 10, -4, -11.
   • Priestess Wenhaver will tell you to go to a 'dark and untamed' place in Kunark and look for a sign of Marr.
4. YOU MUST HAVE 40,000+ Synod Reet Faction and completed the language quest "A Mysterious Green Tome" to do this: ( DO SUBQUEST: A REET'S FREEDOM )
5. Speak to Captain Rroop at the far end of the Reet Resistance Cave ( 256, -4, -68 ) /waypoint 256, -4, -68. After a short conversation, a messenger will run up and tell the leader that the Reet slaves are being attacked by the Sathirians.
   • Slay 12 of the invading Sathirians ( 235, -27, 47 ) /waypoint 235, -27, 47. They have about a 45 second repop.
   • When you are done, speak to the froglok resistance leader again.
6. Return to Priestess Wenhaver in North Qeynos at the Temple of Life ( 10, -4, -11 ) /waypoint 10, -4, -11.
7. Go to the Kunzar Jungle and fly to the Abandoned Village. From there, walk north until you see an ethereal sword sticking out of the ground. Walk around the area until a shaft of light comes down and begins quest dialogue with you. You will be stunned at or around ( -694.68, 38.95, -225.50 ) /waypoint -694.68, 38.95, -225.50 and it will initiate a conversation between you and a spirit, which tells you to find the paladin epic weapon, The Truth of Marr (Fabled). (Just keep walking around until the light comes.)
8. Return to Priestess Wenhaver in North Qeynos.
   • The priestess tells you a bit about The Truth of Marr (Fabled), and recommends that you to go find Izzal Din, a historian of holy lore and relics, in the Jarsath Wastes near Tylix's Fist ( -689, -108, -854 ) /waypoint -689, -108, -854. Unfortunately, Izzal will ignore you unless you have some sort of relic which treasure seekers were attempting to plunder, so proceed straight to the Somborn Cemetery in Loping Plains next. (Izzal will completely ignore you for now, so you can skip him)
9. Izzal Din ignores you unless you have A Faygannen Bloom.
   

   

   Izzal Din will ignore you completely without A Faygannen Bloom
   • Go to the Somborn Cemetery in Loping Plains.
   • Scattered throughout the graveyard behind various crypts are 4 linked 80^^ Treasure looter.
   • Slay the Treasure looters and take the body drop, Faygannen Bloom, back to Izzal. They are fairly easy and can be done with one dps and healer, but may require more depending.
10. Izzal tells you a bit more lore and informs you that the iksars have been using an item of malevolence to inflict pain in their worship of Cazic-Thule.
    • Head to the Shard of Fear, defeat Terror, last named of the zone, and loot the Mark of Terror from his corpse. Only one update will drop from Terror, so if there are two Paladin's in your group that need the same update, you will need to make a second run at it after your timers reset. It is best to just get two different groups and do it.
11. Go to Kunzar Jungle to Tabernacle of Pain and hail a Swifttail caste servant ( -250, -62, 181 ) /waypoint -250, -62, 181. Just standing there for a little while can trigger the fight, also.
    • Grandmaster Kordaz will spawn immediately in front of the servant. Attack him quickly or he will despawn. He is a level 81^. (For me he spawned in the little building/gazebo next to the servant)
    • The Grandmaster stuns frequently and is very difficult to solo without exceptional gear, you will want to bring friends.
    • If you fail you LOSE your Mark of Terror and must kill Terror again for another one! - the Grandmaster can respawn. It just seems to be buggy with him randomly despawning and respawning. If he does despawn wait around for a few minutes and he may reappear.
12. After Grandmaster Kordaz is dead, talk with a Swifttail caste servant again and she will send you to the Monk Temple of the Grandmasters at Tabernacle, click the sword on the weapons display at ( -110, -39, 190 ) /waypoint -110, -39, 190 to loot the Malevolent Blade.
13. Inspect it and YOU'RE DONE!!!
