General

The quest is divided into two parts. In the first part you obtain a Messenger's Collar from the Strange Swamp Temple. In the second part you travel to a Falatacot dungeon near Stonehold and obtain the Falatacot Tome. To enter the 2nd dungeon you must have the collar equipped, which means once you have a collar you only need to go to the 2nd dungeon to complete the quest. The collars are givable, so you can take any character directly to the 2nd part as long as they have a collar on.

While the quest can first be completed at level 90, the experience does not cap until level 125. It is possible to run the quest repeatedly and stockpile all your tomes until 125, and turn them all in then. If you have the pack space available to do this it is highly advisable. As an exemple I (An Adventurer) recently saved 13 tomes. Upon reaching 125, I turned them all in and advanced to 129.

Lore & Dialog

Showing collar to Fanzen:
You allow Fanzen San the Translator to examine your Messenger's Collar.
Fanzen San examines the collar in fascination.
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "This looks like Falatacot workmanship. This could be a pet's collar or something similar."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Yes, this symbol on the collar is definitely Falatacot. I believe it means "Unity". No actually this marking on the triangle represents a single person or a name. This translates better as "One of Three". Very interesting..."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "My my, look here, there is some writing on the inside too. Hehe, sortof a "If found please return to..." It gives a set of coordinates. Let me see..."
Fanzen San opens a map of Dereth and drags his fingers along its length to rest in the Osteth Mountain range.
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Yes, here it is in the Osteth Mountains. There's nothing marked there on the map, but that doesn't mean there isn't something there. The coordinates are 70.6N, 14.5W."

Burun Messenger says, "Run! Run! I mustn't stop for anything!"

The Burun Messenger squeals in pain. His cries echo through the temple.

Burun Messenger says, "No! I must not fail my Mistress!"
