Lore & Dialog

Zho Heishan tells you, "Excellent, perhaps you can help me. My superiors seek some knowledge of the troubles affecting the ley lines of Dereth, and the problem seems to trace back to Rytheran, the ancient Dericostian noble. We have become aware that a path into Rytheran's current abode within the ruined Gardens of Menilesh has opened somewhere in the Empyrean Graveyard."
Zho Heishan tells you, "Find a way to seek out Rytheran and see if you can retrieve his personal mnemosyne... We need access to his memories about the reading of the Book of Eibhil. It may not be necessary to destroy the undead lord, but merely to attain his cooperation."

Lord Rytheran tells you, "Ah, you seek my mnemosyne, do you not? My memories of that long-ago day when I read from the book... Your masters desire it so that they may meddle in this affair and save their fragile settlements from the depredation of the Blight. Well enough. I will give you the mnemosyne you seek if you do something for me..."
Lord Rytheran tells you, "In the ancient garden below, my followers have gone mad, forgotten themselves and their allegiance to me. Regrettably, they had something that is dear to me in their possession when they lost their minds. A ring of some... sentimental value. Find that ring, and bring it to me. I will give you the mnemosyne you seek when you bring me the ring. You will have to kill me to get the mnemosyne otherwise, and I can already see you lack the power and the will to do that."

---

The pillars surface feels cold and oily. A horrible taste blooms in your mouth and you hear a whispering voice. You realize the voice is coming from your own mouth, whispering words in a language you don't understand.

---

You give Lord Rytheran Ring of Remembrance.
Lord Rytheran tells you, "Ah, a keepsake from my lady love... At last, a memory that will bring me some warmth in this eternal darkness. Take this mnemosyne, and my mask of office... And go. Leave me to my memories."
Lord Rytheran gives you Rytheran's Mnemosyne.
Lord Rytheran gives you Visage of Menilesh.

You give Zho Heishan Rytheran's Mnemosyne. You've earned 297,235,856 experience. Zho Heishan tells you, "Amazing! You actually convinced Rytheran to part with his precious memory of the Book of Eibhil? I do not know what you had to do to accomplish it, and perhaps that is for the best. You have my thanks, and the thanks of the realm of Dereth for the good you have done here. These memories will be invaluable in helping us solve the mess that Rytheran and that book created."
