General

There are three sides to this quest, each offering a unique reward. Note that this quest has no actual effect on your loyalties to Silyun or Sanamar.

• Fort Tethana: Give to Lieutenant Durgan in Fort Tethana for the Tethana Manifesto.
• New Viamont: Give to Lieutenant Dialossa at the Royal Hall in Sanamar for the Viamontian Pennant of Loyalty.
• New Aluvia: Give to Lieutenant Allandal in Plateau Village for the Shield of the Strathelar Elite.

Walk Through

1. Run north of Fort Tethana to the Tumerok Post at 12.2N 68.1W and go in, tie to the surface portal (or just go through it) so you can easily return if you die.
2. [OPTIONAL] - Continue north to a large blackened battlefield and go to the north side where you'll find Lord Marsan's Log Book on the ground at 17.0N 68.1W.
3. The dungeon portal to The Dark Spiral is on top of a smoking hill in the middle of the blackened area. Climb up the hill at 15.9N, 68.8W.
4. The dungeon is very convoluted and you can run in circles endlessly, so either look at the map, or follow these directions closely. From the drop go down until you come to a 3 way branching intersection, take the middle tunnel, the rest of the intersections past here will be Y splits. Take the right split, then the left split, then the right split, then it will go down to a jump.

Lore & Dialog

You give Lieutenant Durgan Lord Marsan's Log Book.
Lieutenant Durgan tells you, "There is a hint of conspiracy here. You say you found this in Lord Marsan's camp? He is a fool. Was a fool, I suppose. Still, normally he would aggrandize himself, not reveal his true cowardly nature in his writings. Unfortunately, his ramblings do nothing to help us assess the true nature of this foe - simply inspire a certain level of skepticism and make me wonder if this is a ploy by Elysa or the Viamontians. Nothing could be so great as he describes."

The Viamontian spy wipes his forehead nervously.

You give Lieutenant Durgan Lore of the Dark Spiral.
After reading the tattered pages, Lieutenant Durgan looks pale and shaken. He rapidly regains his composure.
You've earned 28,477,192 experience.
Lieutenant Durgan gives you Tethana Manifesto.
Lieutenant Durgan tells you, "I see that you have succeeded. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that such things were afoot so near to us. I will recommend to Commander Margyle that we begin to prepare to repel whatever dark dreams these shadows and their allies have in store."
Lieutenant Durgan tells you, "And you have served Tethana well. May I interest you in this document? It concisely details what we, the citizens and soldiers of Tethana, would have of any who would claim sovereignity over us. Perhaps reading it will bolster your will as well, and you will be inspired to stand against tyranny? If it does not inspire you, return it to me for a further reward."
