[edit] Prerequisites

  1. You must have completed the heritage quest Dragoon K'Naae of the Thexians
  2. You must understand the Sathirian language which can be learned by the collection A Mysterious Black Tome
  3. You must have at least 50,000 faction with Residents of Teren's Grasp
  4. You must have at least 40,000 faction with The City of Jinisk
  5. You must be level 80

[edit] Steps

  1. North Freeport - Getting the Contract
    • Near the bottom of mages tower in North Freeport must kill 2 NPCs, Talon P'Radim and Nik U'ronu ( 22, -37, -124 ) /waypoint 22, -37, -124 to get a chest drop containing a hiring contract. Talon can be approached and once aggro, Nik joins in the attack. One is 82^ the other is 82v. They seem to be a serious over-con. There is roughly a 5 minute respawn.
    • Examine the contract
  2. Dark Light Wood
    • Go to the Darklight Woods ( -410, -62, 208 ) /waypoint -410, -62, 208 and speak to Marla K'Stane. After a quick conversation, you have to kill her (she is an incredibly over-conned 85^ who gives AA exp), which will update your quest.
    • You will get the Mage's Divining Scroll in your inventory.
  3. West Freeport
  4. Neriak and New Tunaria
    • Read the Mage's Divining Scroll in your inventory. It sets forth certain tasks which can be done in any order.
    • I must gather 30 of the unmarred bones from powerful sentient beings! Tip: The scorpions by the Howling Stones post, in Jarsath Wastes, will drop these bones.
      • See notes below about which npcs can give this specific update
      • Killing 10 Teir'Dal Warriors & 10 Feir'Dal warriors for the later step, can update this step at the same time.
    • I need the skull of a Teir'Dal Champion
      • at ( -714, 29, -71 ) /waypoint -714, 29, -71 next to 3 Walk of the Dead in Neriak, City of Hate In corner have to be right on top of the skull to see it. On the shelf on the left-hand side of the building, back corner. Beware the Relic Protector that spawns in-between the buildings!
    • Kill 10 Teir'Dal Warriors in Neriak, City of Hate.
      • The mobs are 83^ Relic Protectors. Automatically attack you as you walk around the city. The majority of these can be found if you take the main walkways. You'll also know if you're about to pop one if your character 'runs into them', even if you don't see it. Note that you can't bring good friends to assist you, as the guards will attack them. On the other hand, the guards will assist you in killing the mobs, and you still get credit.
    • I need the skull of a Feir'Dal Champion!
      • Grave yard in New Tunaria at the last tombstone on the right ( -474, 68, -140 ) /waypoint -474, 68, -140. Beware the Relic Guardian that pops in front of the tombstone! A quick FD behind it to de-agro, and it won't see you thru the tombstone.
    • Kill 10 Feir'Dal warriors in New Tunaria.
      • The mobs are 83^ Relic Guardians. Automatically attack you as you walk around the zone. Seem most common in the first large flat plaza area after the bridge, and the graveyard.
      • The majority of these can be found if you take the main walkways. You'll also know if you're about to pop one if your character 'runs into them', even if you don't see it. Known spawn points are:
        • ( 66, 96, -1000 ) /waypoint 66, 96, -1000 ; ( -206, 52, -867 ) /waypoint -206, 52, -867 ; ( -337, 53, -855 ) /waypoint -337, 53, -855 ; ( -413, 108, -528 ) /waypoint -413, 108, -528
  5. Neriak
    • Head to Neriak, City of Hate, go to a tomb in the water next to the first bridge ( -154, -5, 129 ) /waypoint -154, -5, 129.
    • Will get an automatic update as you reach the tomb.
    • Harvest a Pile of Bones (These can be found immediately next to the SW side of the tomb, and are not targetable.)
    • Touch the altar to place the bones
    • Touch the altar to call Spirit of Laarthik
    • Speak with the Spirit of Laarthik.
  6. Kunzar Jungle, City of Mist
  7. Edgewater Drains
    • You can find Glohner 85^^^ roaming the halls and ramp between EWD1 and EWD2 around ( 147, 31, -105 ) /waypoint 147, 31, -105. Northern part or your in-game map.
    • He casts a single target fear on the tank, but does not hit very hard.
  8. After killing Glohner you will be tasked to take the sword back to Lharnc in the City of Mist.
    • Return to the City of Mist. After hailing Lharnc, and a short conversation he will aggro (an 85^^^). Be prepared for a rather long fight (he hits hard and has a lot of HPs).
    • Lharnc the Envious will drop a single wooden chest, inside is the update item, the Talisman of Envy, a lore, no-trade item. Only 1 Shadowknight can get this no-trade item at a time. See notes below.
  9. Kylong Plains - Teren's Grasp
  10. Kunzar Jungle - City of Jinsk
  11. You now must kill 3 Crimson Teir mobs. (Can be done in any order)
    1. Karnor's Castle
      • Tovin D'Rin is in Karnor's Castle Library ( -31, -56, 162 ) /waypoint -31, -56, 162.
        • 85^^^ with 3 pets, two 85^^ and one 85. (Knockback and the room will agro if not cleared)
    2. Chelsith
      • Talik K'syk and his sister Mydraa K'syk are in Chelsith.
        • They can be found at the last named tentacle's platform ( -419, 30, -33 ) /waypoint -419, 30, -33.
        • They are a grouped 85^^^ proximity spawn when you step on the platform. You do not have to kill the last worm/tentacle mob to get them to spawn, but you do need to deactivate his platform's force field to get to the prox spawn area by killing the 4 worms of the adjacent pools.
        • Mydraa is a mage; she can be mezzed and stunned. If you do not have a mezzer, concentrate on killing her first, because she casts silence/stun. Talik appears to be pure melee.
    3. Teren's Grasp
      • Jerak T'Shir is at Teren's Grasp.
        • He can be found between two pyramids ( 1831, 480, -1006 ) /waypoint 1831, 480, -1006. He is a 85^^^ proximity spawn, be prepared.
    • After you have killed the 3 Crimson Teir mobs, you need to return to Atira X'aphon. She will offer you the next step.
  12. Obtain 3 Emblems. ( must be done in order )
    1. The King's Emblem
    2. The Archpriest's Emblem.
      • Locate The Archpriest's Emblem which can be found in Neriak, City of Hate - The Spires of Innoruuk (inside main building) and next to Xilania Nevagon-Seraph of Hate, you'll see a skull with a dagger in it that you can click at ( -284, 29, 179 ) /waypoint -284, 29, 179.
        • Once everyone has ported up, speak with Dorvias N'Keth who will then turn into a 85^^^. He will spawn immediately by himself. But, occasionally he will spawn a trio of level 85 Minions of Hate to aid him.
        • Emblem is a chest drop, lore item, so if more than Shadow Knight in the group you must kill one time for each Shadow Knight.
    3. The Prophet's Emblem
  13. Go to the Darklight Palace in Neriak, City of Hate. Once there, head up to the very top floor and you should see a bed. Look under it and you'll see a box under the bed which will give you an update. ( -579, 87, -192 ) /waypoint -579, 87, -192
  14. After clicking the box, head over to Kunzar Jungle and speak with Atira X'aphon inside City of Jinisk again.
