Walk Through Part 1: Flagging

1. Speak to the Inspector of Lords in your Faction Stronghold.
   • Celestial Hand - Philonius Porbandar
   • Eldrytch Web - Istonia Charson
   • Radiant Blood - Gamri Nightshade
2. From Eastwatch head north to the Blighted Verdant Moarsman Tunnels at 92.7N 42.3W.
3. From the portal drop, take all lefts until you reach the Moarsmen Priory (180+) portal (its not far).
4. Once inside the Priory you'll first come to an octagon shaped bridge, go east(north and south loop around to the pit below the bridges). Continue until you come to a large room with ramps dropping down to a basin with an altar in the middle. A floor plate directly in front of the north door opens it. (The two locked doors on the east wall and south wall also lead to the final room but don't save any time, see map.)
5. Once you've opened the door go north you'll soon come to another large room with two Surface portals, do not go in any of them, go to the southeast corner of the room and a tunnel leads out of the the room, stick left until you come to a very large room, back up up and stay in the hallway, killing Moarsmen until Prior Kothmox comes up, he drops Kothmox's Staff.
6. Return to Inspector of Lords in the Faction Stronghold and talk to him to flag for Part 2.

• Note: Prior Kothmox is surrounded by a large number of moarsman, and there is only one way in and out. The spawn is relatively slow, so its best to clear the room before fighting Prior Kothmox. Proceed with caution.
• Note: From the time you loot Kothmox's Staff, you have 1 hour to complete Part 2 of the lord test. If you fail, you must obtain the staff again.

Walk Through Part 2: The Riddle

The second part of the quest is slightly different for each faction. The Lord Advancement NPC will ask you to bring him a specific item from this quest, which is different for each society (items listed below).

1. Depending on the (time of day ?? [east = day?, west = night?] ??) there will be a statue at 87.9S 55.9W west of The Pit of Heretics or east at 87.9S 54.5W, or there may be no statue at all (will have to wait for one to appear). Each statue is surrounded by 3 Coral Hollows.
2. Talk to the statue and it will give you a math riddle. Solve the problem and click on the appropriate coral. Now you are flagged to enter a portal in the side of the wall of the main temple structure (portal looks like a door).
   • Brood Mother's Reckoning - Each person gets a different riddle, if you answer incorrectly you will be portaled into the pit in the temple where you should quickly recall (use a gem if you have one) to avoid dying. (Some people have said "You will then have to go obtain another staff, talk to the NPC again, then run back to the statue for another attempt." - i did NOT find this so. I went back and tried another riddle and went through)
   • Reefhunter's Reckoning
   • Note: Currently, if your riddle answer is 78, the quest is bugged. You should choose 150 as the correct answer, not 78. (See NoWorries' Comments)
   • Note: As of the Oct 28 patch the answer 78 DOES WORK.

1. Once you solve the riddle, use the corresponding Coral Hollow that matches your answer. You can ID the Coral Hollows to see the answers they represent. If you're correct, a Temple Door (portal) will spawn at the temple @ 87.9S, 55.2W.
2. Use the Temple Door quickly, it expires after 5 minutes.

Walk Through Part 3: Moarsman Gateway Temple

1. Once in the Temple, jump down and follow the ramps/jumps (East/West) down until you come to a room with a Blind Keeper.
2. Kill the Blind Keeper, but be careful, it spawns Listris Sleeches randomly nearby during the fight.
3. Once dead, a Gate Watcher will spawn, kill it.
4. Once you've killed him, loot the appropriate item from a dais in the room as required by your society:
   • Radiant Blood - Blood of T'thuun
   • Celestial Hand - Amulet of T'thuun
   • Eldrytch Web - Dagger of T'thuun
5. Once you have the required item, return to your Lord Advancement NPC and hand it to them to complete the test.
6. You can now access Moarsman City (Nyr'leha) by using the same statue you got the riddle from, using the statue now portals you to 90.8S 52.9W on the island. (The statue can be either at 88.0S 54.5W or at 88.0S 55.5W, the same as before.)

Dialogue

The statues eyes appear to grow and encompass all that you see. They peer into your mind.
Statue tells you, "In the Dark Season, 343 spawn were set forth into the pools to be blessed by the Whispering One. During the Dark Season when the spawns were set forth, 5 spawn out of every 7 spawn that were set into the pools were weak and destroyed by their siblings. Of those strong spawn that survived, for every 7 spawn that remained in the pools, the Whispering One demanded 4 be sacrificed to his glory."
Statue tells you, "Know how many spawn survived and you will know where the staff must be placed."
Statue gives you Brood Mother's Reckoning

Radiant Blood

Gamri tilts her head and appraises the Moarsman Prior's staff.

A flicker of steel catches your eye and you feel a sting on your hand. Looking down you see blood begin to trickle from a light cut. Gamri grabs your hand pressing the blood between your palms and stares into your eyes with a fierce intensity.
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "The Commendations Officer told me you were coming. I am Gamri Nightshade, Inspector of Lords for the Radiant Blood and I have a mission for you."
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "We are bound by blood now, complete this mission or pay the consequences."
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "You must gain access to the temple on the Southern Shores near Candeth Keep. Once inside you will recover a relic kept there, the Blood of T'thuun. Our operatives found the Temple where the blood is kept, but they have yet to find an entrance."
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "I may have some information that you can use. A strange Moarsman wielding a staff has been spotted visiting the temple late at night. He was tracked back to the chilly depths below a Moarsmen Keep before they lost him."
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "Travel to the Moarsmen Keep near Eastwatch on the North East Halaetan Isles and take what you need from this Moarsman. He must hold some key to entering the temple."
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "Return to me with the Blood of T'thuun and remember our bond, Knight."

Gamri takes the bottle and places it in a silk lined box engraved with protective runes.
Gamri clasps your hand and a deep warmth creeps up your arm and grips your heart. A euphoric calm suffuses your tired frame.

Philonius Porbandar tells you, "The Commendations Officer told me you were coming. My name is Philonius Porbandar, Inspector of Lords for the Celestial Hand. I have an important mission for you."
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "Our researchers have discovered the existence of a Moarsman relic called the Amulet of T'thuun. This relic may hold the answers to some important questions about T'thuun."
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "We believe the relic is being held within a temple on the Southern Shores of the Direlands. Moarsmen have been seen visiting the temple regularly, but one in particular, a Moarsman Prior, seems to hold some means of entering the temple."
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "This Moarsman Prior has been tracked to a Keep near Eastwatch on the North East Halaetan Isles. Your mission is to find this Moarsman and learn his secret to entering the Temple."
