Lore & Dialog
Sir Learth tells you, "Greetings, Citizen."
Sir Learth tells you, "Lord Asheron, using several clues and occurrences, has determined that the Dericost Emperor, Geraine, is using a powerful ritual which is destabilizing both the mana and temporal flows of this world."
Sir Learth tells you, "Due to the clue Sir Donovan found in the report on the Bloodstones, the Prince believes that the ritual mentioned is likely the one causing the disturbances my Lord Asheron has detected. This is why I am organizing the hunt for this site from here."
Sir Learth tells you, "I am seeking adventurers who will help me put an end to this treacherous and dangerous ritual Geraine is performing. To that end, we must first locate this ritual, and pierce whatever defenses are guarding it."
Sir Learth tells you, "My Lord Asheron tells me that to conduct a ritual of this magnitude in secret, they would need to have created a series of anchors, or points, with which to feed power to the ritual as well as shield it from outside magics."
Sir Learth tells you, "These anchor points will most likely be made using something dear to the Dericost, though we have not confirmed what that may be yet. These points are also most likely in places of power where the undead are in control."
Sir Learth tells you, "My Lord Asheron believes that there should be ten of these points, scattered throughout Dereth. Any less, and the mana flow would not be strong enough to empower a temporal ritual. Any more, and the energy flows of the wards themselves would be detectable."
Sir Learth tells you, "As we do not yet know specifically what and where to seek, I am gathering any and all willing to help me in my goal. I will place an enchantment upon you, that should let you interact with these points, and draw information out of them which will allow Lord Asheron and the Prince to both pinpoint and breach the defensive magics of the ritual site."
Sir Learth chants softly for a moment, and a warm sensation flows over you.
Sir Learth tells you, "That should do it. Hunt well, and good luck."
