Quest Overview

Al-Arqas to Djinaya Wind Cottages [33.5S, 13.1E]

Walk Through

1. This quest requires you to repeat the Dericost Ritual Investigation to flag for entry to the dungeon. Begin by talking to Sir Learth
2. After completing the Dericost Ritual Investigation, talk to Lady Daenerah at the Ice Area Cottage.
   • Route: Take the Stonehold portal in Town Network, then run to Wisp Lake Cottages portal at 69.6N, 20.2W, then run west to 83.8N, 4.3W
3. Travel to the Menhir Ring at 21.7S, 9.4E
   • Route: Take the Al-Arqas portal in Town Network, then run to Djinaya Wind Cottages portal at 33.5S, 13.1E.
4. Use the west Menhir to portal into the first part of the dungeon.
5. This dungeon has 4 Enchanted Mnemosynes that must be used to flag for entry to the second part of the dungeon. High level Undead, Bloodstones and Skeletons abound in both dungeons, including highly dangerous Undead Commanders.
6. After using all four Mnemosynes, take the surface portal and use the eastern Menhir to portal into the second part of the dungeon.
7. The dungeon is linear, jump down two jumps and run to a third. This is a good spot to rebuff and/or park a healer. Only 1-2 creatures spawn at the top of the third jump.
8. The rest of the party should jump down and clear the ritual room. Loot the dead Aluvian Soldiers for a Broken Shield (lore item)
9. After clearing, use the Breastplate on the ground to begin a cutscene involving Borelean, Hoshino Kei, and Geraine.
10. After the cutscene, more Bloodstones, Undead, and Skeletons will spawn, followed by Lord Winstead and his accompanying Filinuvekta Hieromancers. The Hieromancers cast level 8 vulns and wars, and are quite dangerous.
11. After killing Lord Winstead, loot a book from his corpse (he drops 30).
12. Show the book to Lady Daenerah for your reward.

Lore & Dialog

Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "There now seems to be a third one of Borelean's knights up by the Gurogs and Snow Tuskers. Why is that hut in the middle of the snow so popular these days?"

Town Crier tells you, "A Royal Knight named Lady Daenerah has joined Sir Donovan and Sir Learth in the area held by the Gurog, and is rewarding adventurers for assistance in dealing with the ritual the knights have been hunting down."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Borelean and Hoshino came by asking me to go and stop some ritual. I counter offered that Hoshino stay here and have a drink with me while Borelean got lost. In the end, neither offer was accepted, but at least that meant more stout for me."

Speaking to Daenerah again:

Lady Daenerah tells you, "Were you able to locate the ritual yet? According to Lord Asheron's scrying, it should be located somewhere east of Yaraq, in the desert."

Scene Dialog:

Dialog Needed

---

Defeating the boss:

As Lord Winstead collapses into dust, a maniacal voice echoes in your mind, "You are too late, <Player>! The world is irrevocably changed!"

With the lead ritualist's death, the temporal distortions caused by the ritual fade.

---

Showing the broken shield to NPCs:

You allow Asheron to examine your Broken Shield.

Asheron looks sad for a moment.

Asheron tells you, "This is the remnant of a very sad day. I was not there, and as such I will not speak of it. Take that shield to Lady Daenerah. She can explain the events to you if she wishes."

You allow Lord Dargeth to examine your Broken Shield.

Lord Dargeth tells you, "Where did you get this?"

You explain how you found the shield on a corpse in the ritual room hidden under the desert, where Emperor Geraine was performing his rituals to alter time.

Lord Dargeth tells you, "Ahh, so you've seen. I won't speak more of it. If you wish to hear the tale, try Lady Daenerah. She sent you to that abominable place, she can explain what happened."

---

Giving the broken shield to Daenerah:

You give Lady Daenerah Broken Shield.

Lady Daenerah tells you, "Where did you get this?"

You explain how you found the shield on a corpse in the ritual room.

Lady Daenerah tells you, "Ahh, yes. I heard about that..."

Lady Daenerah tells you, "It was a very sad day for the kingdom. When we first identified the location of the ritual, the Prince and Princess took a squad of knights and attacked the ritual."

Lady Daenerah tells you, "They were underprepared for what they would face. Geraine massacred them all, and sacrificed the Princess to his ritual..."

Lady Daenerah tells you, "About an hour after they all returned to their lifestones, the Princess's body appeared in her rooms."

Lady Daenerah tells you, "No amount of magic tried thus far has done anything to bring her back..."

Lady Daenerah tells you, "Poor Borelean. He's devastated, and is refusing to see anyone at present."

Lady Daenerah tells you, "It was after that attack that I was sent here to organize further attacks. You adventurers have the most uncanny success rate, historically speaking."

---

Giving the sealed tome to Daenerah:

You allow Lady Daenerah to examine your Sealed Tome.

Lady Daenerah tells you, "What is this?"

You hand over 1 of your Sealed Tomes.

Lady Daenerah tells you, "Is this the Book of Eibhil!?!"

Lady Daenerah tells you, "No, it can't be, could it?"

Lady Daenerah casts a quick spell and a tiny portal opens. She quickly passes the sealed tome into the portal. A moment later, her expression goes blank, like her focus is wholly elsewhere...

Lady Daenerah tells you, "I see..."

Lady Daenerah tells you, "It would seem that the sealed tome you brought me both is and is not the Book of Eibhil. Geraine has somehow either made empowered copies of the book, or somehow broken the Book into aspects. Lord Asheron is not yet sure which."

Lady Daenerah tells you, "Either way, you have helped remove a dangerous artifact from the hands of the Dericost. Please, accept this as a reward, with our thanks."

Lady Daenerah gives you Empowered Robe of the Perfect Light.
