Overview

In this quest you have stop Aerbax from erasing the memory of Asheron saving the Empyrean from the Olthoi.

Prerequisites

• You'll need to bring a Trade Note (100,000) or Trade Note (250,000) with you in order to gain access to the Knorr Lyceum where Quiddity Seed is. Bring both if you're not sure.

Walkthrough & Notes

1. Head to Stonehold. There, speak with Olcris, Nuhmudira's Student in the barn.
   • If you have never been to Knorr before he will ask you for an M note in exchange for a Knorr Portal Gem.
   • Note: You can only get 2 Knorr Portals Gems every 3 days from Olcris.
   • If you have previously been to Knorr and talked to Arikas, Warden of Knorr you can hand Olcris an M Note in exchange for a Seat of Knorr Portal Gem. If you do this you can skip the riddles of the next step and go straight to Step 4.
2. Use the gem to be teleported to the Gates of Knorr. To reach the Seat of Knorr you must complete three riddles given by the Diamond Guardians. You must pick up the correct item on the ground that answers the riddle and hand it to the golem to be teleported in the next part.
   • First Riddle: Book
   • Second Riddle: Mead
   • Third Riddle: Kite Shield
3. Once in the Seat of Knorr first talk to Arikas, Warden of Knorr. This will flag you to get another Seat of Knorr Portal Gem from Olcris for an MMD Note when you need another.
4. Take the south hall and enter the Collegium Planar Abstraction Conveyance (level restriction 130+). Its the second conveyance in the right side of the hall. The dungeon is populated by Olthoi and Virindi.
5. The first thing you come to are a series of levers you must pull to open a few bookcases. First pull the torch lever in the hallway then watch which bookcase opens leading into a small room. Pull the lever in the room and go back into the hall and see which bookcase is open now. Keep pulling levers until you find a bookcase that leads to a long hall rather than another room.
6. Keep going up until you find a Planar Academy Lecture Hall portal. Go in the portal.
7. Run straight across the Lecture Hall and up a hallway and go in the Planar Academy Headmaster's Rooms portal.
8. Find the Quiddity Seed and use it to be portaled. You will enter a dreamworld of the room you were just in, only hundreds of years ago. If this room looks familiar, it is because its the room featured in the original opening movie sequence. Asheron appears at one end of the room, casting The Sundering, the spell which sent all the Yalaini into Portal Space when the Olthoi overtook them. His health slowly drains, so you only have a certain amount of time to defeat the virindi forces.
9. Kill the Virindi Portals that appear in this room, along with Olthoi and Virindi minions. The portal is attackable, and once you destroy it the Olthoi and Virindi will vanish. Acid attacks worked well on the portal, others have reported that any damage type will work. Once the first portal is destroyed another will open, and you will repeat the process for 4 portals total. With each portal, the Olthoi and Virindi get stronger.
10. A final portal will appear near the stairs, but this one is not attackable. Instead, a Virindi called the Cleaner spawns with a few Virindi minions. The Cleaner was not difficult with imperil+vuln+Singularity weapon.
11. Once the Cleaner has been defeated talk to Asheron and he will give you an Empyrean Spherule. You will automatically be booted from the dungeon after a couple minutes back to the Quiddity Seed.
12. Give the Spherule to Asheron's Emissary at Asheron's Castle for your rewards.
    • Note: The Quiddity Ingot (Knorr) you are given as a reward is used in the Knorr Quiddity Ingot Purification Quest.

Dialog

Opening Dialog

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Welcome, I'm glad you've come."

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Let's see if you have had any success with the Quiddity Seeds I told you of."

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "The first Quiddity Seed lies in the Planar Collegium in the Lyceum at Knorr."

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "The second alludes me. Speak with the Aun Tumeroks at Fort Tethana."

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "The third is known to an apparition in the Northern Desert."

Speaking with Asheron

Asheron tells you, "I must protect my people, but these attacks weaken me."

Fighting and Defeating the Cleaner

The Cleaner casts a spell, protecting his portal.

Cleaner tells you, "You should not be here. I shall correct your mistake."

Cleaner tells you, "You shouldn't play with dangerous things."

Cleaner tells you, "Keep things simple. You let things get complicated and you lose control."

Cleaner tells you, "My employer was very clear about this. Kill all humans."

Cleaner tells you, "Did you think such and attack would harm me for long?"

It sounds as if the Cleaner is making grunty noises at you. Odd.

Cleaner tells you, "My employer lacks the sympathy you have for this old man and his forgotten race. Why is it that you feel the need to protect him?"

Cleaner tells you, "You're not going to kill me. I've developed a taste for life."

Cleaner tells you, "Well done, but I saw your attack coming. Learn to hide your intentions."

You split Cleaner apart!

Cleaner says, "This was to be my last job. My employer's wrath will be great."

The Cleaner begins to make a horrible inhuman wail as bits of him are torn into portal space.

Asheron, after The Cleaner is defeated

Asheron says, "We have but a short time before the nightmare begins again."

Speaking with Asheron after defeating the Cleaner

Asheron sighs deeply. "The Beast with Many Heads turns its minds from our thoughts and dreams to our physical forms. He is coming. I am but a memory of a minor player in the battle between the light and the darkness."

Asheron turns dreamily to look at you.

Asheron looks down at his hand as he pulls something from his pocket.

Asheron tells you, "I remember the people of your world. We have been watching your race with great hope. You have so much potential. Your people are among the few in the known worlds that may be able to save mine."

Asheron gives you Empyrean Spherule.

Asheron tells you, "Give this to my emissary in the waking world. It will help me remember. I often wish to forget the horrors I have seen which is why Aerbax has had so much success in invading my mind. I must not forget. My people are depending on me."

Speaking to Asheron again

Asheron sighs deeply. "The Beast with Many Heads turns its minds from our thoughts and dreams to our physical forms. He is coming. I am but a memory of a minor player in the battle between the light and the darkness."

Asheron turns dreamily to look at you.

Asheron tells you, "My mind is clear of his influence for the moment. I remember you as if in a dream my friend. Thank you for you help."

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "And take the Spherule back as a souvenir of your visit to the past... wait a moment, there's something jammed in it."

The Emissary removes a small sliver of metal from the Spherule. It glows faintly white.

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Aerbax has built a floating structure over the Obsidian Plains. Large amounts of energy are being focused there. Lord Ashron left you further instructions in his Sanctum."

Opening Dialog (Retired)

Asheron tells you, "Welcome, I'm glad you've come."

Asheron tells you, "From my observations and from reports I've received from your Queen I believe that Aerbax is attempting something quite unheard of."

Asheron tells you, "It would seem our enemy has been tampering with the collective memories of three critical events in the past. He has built three dream structures using Quiddity Seeds to allow him to attack these memories and change our perspective in the present."

Asheron tells you, "The first Quiddity Seed is in Knorr where I first summoned the portals that sent my people into portal space."

Asheron tells you, "The second Quiddity Seed's location still alludes me. I believe that the Aun Tumeroks may have more experience in locating these dream structures. Visit Fort Tethana where an emissary of the Tumeroks has been sent to meet you."

Asheron tells you, "The third and final Quiddity Seed was not found by my divinations. I only have a vague idea of what memory may be at risk. Seek out an apparition in the Northern Desert who I have been told will help you."

Asheron tells you, "Do not take these tasks lightly. Our memories form the way we see the world around us. Change our memories and change reality. This is a very real threat."

Asheron tells you, "If Aerbax succeeds we may not even remember we were trying to stop him."

Rewards (Retired)

You give Asheron Empyrean Spherule.

Asheron tells you, "Thank you, a memento from the memory of Knorr?"

Asheron's eyes glaze over as he stares at the Spherule.

Asheron tells you, "I haven't seen one of these since the Olthoi attacked. The children had a game where they would use simple magic to knock these through the air."

Asheron seems to sag under some invisible weight. What might be despair or simple weariness makes him look ancient and frail. Then it's gone and he stares at you with renewed purpose.

Asheron tells you, "Thank you for preventing Aerbax from changing the memory at Knorr. Take this as a small reward."

Asheron gives you Empowered Breastplate of the Perfect Light.

Asheron gives you Empyrean Spherule.

Asheron gives you Quiddity Ingot.

You've earned 257,501,253 experience.

Asheron tells you, "And take the Spherule back as a souvenir of your visit to the past... wait a moment, there's something jammed in it."

Asheron removes a small sliver of metal from the Spherule. It glows faintly white.

Asheron tells you, "Hmmm, perhaps you should keep this too, it may come in handy later."

Asheron tells you, "Things are far from desperate. While you were fighting Aerbax's forces I was able to focus my mind on where Aerbax was drawing from my memories. I found that while he was able to search my memories I was able to use the same link he had formed to invade his mind."

Asheron tells you, "It's a pity he won't bend his formidable intellect to truly help the people of this world. He believes he is helping every race on Dereth to achieve their potential, but the darkness corrupts his vision. Time will tell if the information I have gleaned will be of use in the battle to come."

Asheron looks down at you with a warm friendliness.

For valor and bravery in the face of the unknown I award [Player Name] the title "Protector of the Past."
