Walk Through

To begin this quest you must first speak to Asheron in his sanctum, found on Asheron's Isle. To reach his island take the portal outside of Eastham next to the windmill. Once on his island, take the portal device in front of you to reach his castle, then enter and use the portal device to his sanctum, found on the first floor of his tower. If you cannot enter the sanctum, you may easily flag yourself by entering any of the Matron hives in Nanto, Khayyaban, Uziz, or Baishi.

Once you have spoken with Asheron, head to Stonehold. There, speak with Nuhmudira's lugian student in the barn and pay him what he requests for a portal gem to Knorr. Proceed to the Seat of Knorr as you would for the Mage Armor quest. (riddle answers are: Book, Mead, Shield). Oncee in the Seat of Knorr, take the south hall and enter the Planar Collegium Abstraction Conveyance

Planar Collegium Abstraction - 130+, No tie/recall/summon (map to come soon)

Head through the Planar Academy. You can take shortcut portal conveyances to be portalled up a level, or simply run through yourself.

More to come

Enter the Quiddity Seed. 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. A Virindi Portal will 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. 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.

A final portal will appear, but this one is not attackable. Instead, a Virindi called Cleaner spawns with a few Virindi minions. The Cleaner was not difficult with imperil+vuln+Singularity weapon.

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.

Once the Cleaner is destroyed speak with Asheron, who has stopped his casting.

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 me 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."

Return to Asheron's Castle and present him with the Empyrean Spherule.

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. (level 179)
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."
