<font color=darkgoldenrod>Nuhmudira tells you, "This menace needs to end. As I stated before, if Elysa is unable to end this, I will handle it myself. This Ancient Olthoi Queen has proven to be too great a menace to confront in a direct assault."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "I've been studying her movements, watching her actions from afar, my perspicacity has allowed me to discover a weakness. But this weakness is not one that can easily be exploited."<br>
<font color=green>Nuhmudira sighs.</font><br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "As much as I dislike admitting when Asheron is correct, he has spoken true of the capacity of our bodies and the fragility of our forms. None, like you, will ever achieve the understanding that he possesses. This is a moment when we shall shine brighter than the Empyrean ever did."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "But this triumph will not come without sacrifice. I will need assistance in collecting several items necessary for this undertaking."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "To that end I have made decisions that will be considered suspect, but they are ultimately a necessity to see our continued prosperity. I beg your forgiveness now, of the affront that these words will undoubtedly be."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "I have offered assistance to the Virindi in the apprehension of the renegade Lugians and Tumeroks who, until recent months, had firmly been under their rule. In exchange, the Gerent of their species has offered an item of ubiquitous power. This item must be retrieved if I am to channel enough energy into the ritus that I must perform."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "The Gerent is located at 87.3 south and 17.5 west. He awaits the arrival of any Isparian and if you are able to reach him, will freely gift this item to you. Aerbax, the once Virindi, has apparently set his lesser minions against the Gerent, and though this being is of some power, he is new to this physical plane and as a result is vulnerable."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "Reach him, obtain this item, and return it to me. I will need only one, and you will be recompensed for your sacrifice."</font><br><br>
----
<font color=green>You give Nuhmudira Energy Crystal.<br>
Nuhmudira's voice echoes on the wind. "You have done very well, <player name>. For your sacrifice I gift this to you. It is a small token of my appreciation."<br>
Nuhmudira gives you Energy Crystal.</font><br>
----
 
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Nuhmudira tells you, "We have come closer to seeing the reign of this creature ended. Now, however, I must ask you to collect something of immense wickedness. When we freed ourselves from the Olthoi, we were given a time of respite; then came the Hopeslayer."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "With his arrival the end of a world not our own became imminent. Yet we rose, despite our initial ignorance, to a victorious ending. One that we were able to celebrate and look back upon now with fond memories. We claimed this world when we spilled the Hopeslayer's blood."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "We need a fragment of that darkness; it is a powerful focus. Without it, I fear I may lose my concentration during the ritus, and fail us all."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "Aerbax holds this item now. In stasis, this object is protected by powerful wards. Perhaps within the confines of a dais."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "That is all I was able to decipher through my distant vision. I am sure that it has some bearing on what you will find there. Regardless of what you face, you must succeed and return this object to me. Without it, all is lost."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "He keeps it safe on his island. It is unlikely that he will know that we are making a move against this relic. Once he is aware that we have acquired such an antiquated and powerful artifact he will undoubtedly become enraged; then we shall need to face down the threat that he will pose."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "Yet, if we do not crush the olthoi here and now, there may not be a future for us to face Aerbax down. So this must be done. You can find his laboratory somewhere near these locations: 98 south and 98 west."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "Hurry, I need one of these objects as quickly as you can acquire them."</font><br>
 
----
 
<font color=green>You give Nuhmudira Bracelet of Dark Essence.</font><br>
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Nuhmudira smiles. "Yes, this is the object that I needed, <player name>. You have performed extraordinarily. Take this with my thanks."</font><br>
<font color=green>Nuhmudira gives you Nuhmudira's Bracelet.</font><br>
----
 
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Nuhmudira tells you, "And now my child, we come to the most deadly of the tasks that I must ask of the Children of Ispar."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "In the farthest reaches of the western shore of Dereth, lying once beneath the waves, only now becoming present, is a temple. Ancient and timeless, a place of unknown fortune and foul intents has lain forgotten for millennia."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "I need you to venture within the halls of this dark temple to collect a book for me. A book that is the compliment and conclusion to the ritus that I must undertake."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "Now, I feel as though you must know what my intention is. The Olthoi Queen is an intelligent beast, capable of communicating with all that it views as its children. She is protective, matronly, and she has a weakness; the desire to protect and defend her young."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "The horde that has arrived beneath Dereth has come prepared to assail the island for as long as it may take to conquer, or destroy us. They have brought food stores, from wherever they last made their lairs. They have enough to support their horde for tens of years, perhaps hundreds."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "But we have been given a gift, for good or ill, by the undead that walk this world. A gift, a poison, that weakens and deadens the olthoi."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "With this, we can obliterate their race from Dereth once and for all; with fortune, perhaps from the world. My ritus will enable us to bring this about, my child."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "I will join my very essence with the Olthoi Queen and share the visions within her mind. I will know when these food stores are undefended, and then I will send those with poison to contaminate these food holds."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "We will poison their food and kill them all. The Queen will be vulnerable through this ritus. While she is weakened we must make a unified strike against her."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "I am certain that she will then bring her full forces to bear against us. We will not fail."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "Now, you must collect this book for me else I cannot complete this ritus. Without it the magic will be incomplete, and there will be no chance to accomplish our tasks."<br>
Nuhmudira tells you, "Go quickly. The temple is located at 33 south and 88 west. Return the book to me, our future relies upon your haste." </font><br>
----
<font color=green>You give Nuhmudira Living Tome.<br>
Nuhmudira's voice carries on the wind. "Excellent...This book is the companion to my first. I will need to translate this correctly before I can lead our assault against the Olthoi Queen. Allow me to present you with this, <Player Name>."<br>
Nuhmudira gives you Animal Talker.<br>
"It's a book I hope will one day bring cheer to the hearts of the children of this world."
Nuhmudira's voice echoes across the land. "Children of Ispar, I must translate the contents of this book and prepare myself for the ritus. You have performed beyond my expectation and I swear that we shall soon rid our world of these creatures. I will call you to me within two days. Then, I shall enact the ritus and we shall strike the final blow against the Olthoi horde!"</font><br>
