Quest Overview

During the Elements of Revenge story arc Martine attacked the starter towns where new Isparians first land on Dereth. He destroyed all the starting locations except for Holtburg, Shoushi, and Yaraq. In response Queen Elysa increased the defenses at the three remaining towns. In this quest you have to aid the local guards at all three of the towns then attack Martine's base of operations. The plot was to create Simulacrums to infiltrate the Queen's Guard and assassinate Borelean Strathelar, the Queen's son.

This quest is unusual because you can start it from any of the three starter towns. The procedure of the quest will be the same no matter where you start but the order in which you do them will be different depending on which town you start in.

Lore & Dialog

Holtburg Dialog

Sir Rylanan tells you, "I've recently been assigned to Holtburg to build a garrision and be on the lookout for suspicious happenings. There is one fellow on the outskirts of town that I've been keeping my eye on. He's just moved here from Marae Lassel and sometimes comes into town for provisions. He says he's been "reformed", but I can spot a bandit when I see one! Townsfolk say they've spotted shady-looking guests coming and going from his house at odd hours. Could you go check on him? His house lies to the northwest of town, past the Holtburg West Training Academy."


Before Looting the Cryptic Note:
Reformed Bandit tells you, "Greetings, stranger. I've done many things to be ashamed of in the past, but I've come here to make a new start near the fair town of Holtburg. I enjoy the peace and quiet of these parts. Would you mind if I asked you to be on your way? I am entertaining some important guests, and I don't want them to be disturbed."


After Looting the Cryptic Note:
The "reformed" bandit has an extremely guilty look on his face. He even looks as if he might run for the hills.
 Reformed Bandit tells you, "Look! Behind you! Is that the white bunny?!"
Reformed Bandit says, "Shurov Thiloi!"


You give Sir Rylanan A Cryptic Note.
Sir Rylanan tells you, "You say you found this note in that bandit's house? Surrounded by a pack of Hollow Minions? I knew that fellow was up to no good! Look here...it refers to Asuger Temple, up to the north. Last I heard, the temple was just a Banderling hideout...harmless really. I wonder what sort of trouble might be brewing up there? Find out what is going on, and I'm sure I could find something in the Guard's coffers to reward you with."


You give Sir Rylanan Glass Spherule.
 Sir Rylanan tells you, "What a strange object! Perfectly round, and perfectly smooth!"
 Sir Rylanan holds the spherule up to the light and stares into the milky glass.
 Sir Rylanan tells you, "What substance could possibly be swirling around in there? Looks like portal space energy, doesn't it?"
 Sir Rylanan starts to shake the spherule but suddenly thinks better of it.
 Sir Rylanan tells you, "I am out of my depth here...the mages of the Arcanum might be able to fathom this object's purpose. I will send it to the Arcanum for analysis."
Sir Rylanan tells you, "I believe Sir Tenshin would be very interested to hear about your discoveries. He is heading up the garrision down in Shoushi. This letter will serve as your introduction to him--I have chronicled your discoveries, as well as the contents of the note you found earlier."
 Sir Rylanan gives you Sir Rylanan's Letter to Sir Tenshin.
 Sir Rylanan tells you, "I should now reward you for your aid in investigating this matter."
 You've earned 50,000 experience.
Sir Rylanan gives you Wood Heart.
Sir Rylanan gives you Wood Heart.
Sir Rylanan gives you Wood Heart.


Shoushi Dialog

You give Sir Tenshin Sir Rylanan's Letter to Sir Tenshin.
Sir Tenshin reads the letter from Sir Rylanan with no small amount of amazement.
 Sir Tenshin tells you, "A glass spherule encapulating what looks as if it could be portal space energy? For what purpose? They say that Dereth is full of wonders...but if Hollow Minions are playing around with portal space, no good can come of it. Mark my words..."
Sir Tenshin tells you, "Come to think of it, I've remarked on some suspicious characters lately myself. Perhaps you can help me. There is a farmer who lives a little ways past the Shoushi South Outpost. He's been a normal townsmember for a very long time, but no one can speak for how he's come into so much wealth recently. Normally it's a cause to celebrate when one's neighbor moves up in the world...but why is he acting so distantly when he comes to town to stock up on provisions?"
Sir Tenshin tells you, "Could you go and check in on him? I am sure there is nothing amiss, but I just want to be sure..."


Before Entering the Trap Door
Ostentatious Farmer tells you, "Welcome to my grand opening! You are welcome to peruse my wares...but please, stay to the front of my shop--the heat from the fire is very strong, and I don't want you to get burned."
Ostentatious Farmer tells you, "Thank you for your patronage. Now please be on your way, I have much work to do."


After Entering the Trap Door
Ostentatious Farmer tells you, "How dare you nose around my house, when I expressely asked you not to? Ok, you can buy something, but after that, get out, GET OUT!"
Ostentatious Farmer tells you, "Like I said, LEAVE! GO! OUT! NOW!"


You give Sir Tenshin Folded Guard's Uniform.
 Sir Tenshin tells you, "You say you found this Guard's uniform in a hidden room in the farmer's basement? What's more, he had many of them? And he's stockpiling a large armament as well?"
Sir Tenshin tells you, "How could he have found access to these uniforms? These are the sole property of Her Majesty's Guard--and are dispensed only through our headquarters. They must have been stolen whilst our quartermaster was in his cups...I will alert our Queen of this affair immediately."
Sir Tenshin tells you, "I believe Dame Tsaya in Yaraq should be alerted to this affair as well. Please take this letter to her--I have included your recent discoveries. I'm sure she will be highly interested to hear of what you have found."
 Sir Tenshin gives you Sir Tenshin's Letter to Dame Tsaya.
 Sir Tenshin tells you, "Thank you for your help--here is your reward."
 You've earned 100,000 experience.
Sir Tenshin gives you Copper Heart.
Sir Tenshin gives you Copper Heart.
Sir Tenshin gives you Copper Heart.


You give Sir Tenshin A Folded Note.

 Sir Tenshin gives you A Folded Note.


Yaraq Dialog

You give Dame Tsaya Sir Tenshin's Letter to Dame Tsaya. Dame Tsaya quickly glances over the letter from her comrade in Shoushi.
 Dame Tsaya tells you, "What a disappointing happenstance. Not only has a farmer been allowed to stockpile an arsenal in his basement, but he is concealing stolen Guards uniforms as well? And Rylanan is having his own share of suspicious behavior up in Holtburg too...I wonder what trouble could be brewing now?"
Dame Tsaya tells you, "Nonetheless, perhaps you could aid me as well. Queen Elysa recently appointed me to lead the garrison here in Yaraq. She was deeply grieved when the 12 Training Halls were destroyed and wants to ensure that no harm will come to her subjects here."
Dame Tsaya tells you, "To that end, I have a small task for you: We have heard that a newcomer to this town has moved into a villa that has lain abandoned for many years. No one knows where he came from, although it is said he speaks with a Northern accent. Would you stop by his residence, and find out more about him? He lives to the east, past Lubziklan al-Luq's house."


Stranger in Town tells you, "Greetings, my friend, greetings! Welcome to my humble home. The hurly-burly of Marae Lassel proved too much for me, so I've decided to move here and call Yaraq home. Blend in. Make some friends among the peaceful townsfolk. In fact, I've made a good friend over in the Darkened Halls. He's recently moved here too. Why don't you pay him a visit as well? I'm sure he'd be happy to meet you and make you feel right at home."


Dame Tsaya tells you, "The stranger actually asked you to visit his new "friend" down in the Darkened Halls? That dismal place has always been just the lair of some lowly Drudges, to my knowledge...perhaps you should investigate this matter. If you find anything out of the ordinary, I'd appreciate it if you brought it to me for inspection. Something just doesn't sound quite right."


You give Dame Tsaya Human Husk.
Appalled, Dame Tsaya gingerly handles the human husk and covers it with a linen cloth.
 Dame Tsaya tells you, "You found this in the Darkened Halls? Poor soul. I can only wonder what he went through in his last tortures. What dark intent could spur the Hollow Minions into committing such an atrocity? No wonder that stranger asked you so nicely to visit his comrades in those Halls--he must have been seeded here to send weak, innocent victims to their deaths--luckily he failed in taking your measure. I must write Sir Rylanan immediately and alert him to the crimes being committed here."
Dame Tsaya tells you, "Please take this letter to Sir Rylanan in Holtburg. He must know immediately of the terrible crimes that are being committed here in Yaraq."
 Dame Tsaya gives you Dame Tsaya's Letter to Sir Rylanan.
 Dame Tsaya tells you, "I must now reward you for your discoveries here today."
 You've earned 200,000 experience.
Dame Tsaya gives you Obsidian Heart.
Dame Tsaya gives you Obsidian Heart.
Dame Tsaya gives you Obsidian Heart.


The stranger nearly jumps out of his shoes.
 Stranger in Town tells you, "You're...you're back? Oh my! I didn't expect you to...they were supposed to take care of...so, you survived! Good for you! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some chores to do."


You give Dame Tsaya An Unsigned Message.
 Dame Tsaya tells you, "What's this? Planting? Crops? Harvest? Old Man Witshire had a farm? This requires more thought. Here, you should keep this, I have already memorized it."
 Dame Tsaya gives you An Unsigned Message.


Fort Witshire Dialog

You give Sir Rylanan Dame Tsaya's Letter to Sir Rylanan.
Sir Rylanan reads the letter from Dame Tsaya with great interest and growing concern.
 Sir Rylanan tells you, "I think I am beginning to discern a pattern here. The Hollow Minions are creating their Simulacra by inflating these human husks they've been collecting with concentrated portal space energy..."
 Sir Rylanan shudders and continues.
 Sir Rylanan tells you, "And they've been paying that ridiculous farmer down in Shoushi to stockpile an arsenal of stolen Guards uniforms and weapons...they must have a plan to garb these new Simulacra in our uniforms to infiltrate our ranks. Could they be making a gambit to reach our Queen? Those miscreants! But where could their headquarters be?"
 Sir Rylanan thinks for a moment.
 Sir Rylanan tells you, "You know...Fort Witshire has been abandoned for quite some time now, but our scouts have found that a group of Hollow Minions have claimed it and barricaded themselves inside so no one may enter. I'll bet you that's where they are."
Sir Rylanan tells you, "We know that Fort Witshire was built on the ruins of an old Empyrean prison and prepared the portal beside me to penetrate the fort by using the underground passages underneath. You seem like just the person to help us with this. You may need this key once you enter Fort Witshire--it was found among Witshire's effects after he left the fort. Find out what those Hollow Minions are up to, the kingdom is in danger!"
 Sir Rylanan gives you Copy of Witshire's Key.


Death Message the Level 29 Hollow Minion in the Witshire Dungeon:
Hollow Minion tells you, "I may be undone, but my facsimiles will consume your kind!"


You give Sir Rylanan Menacet's Orders.
Sir Rylanan unfolds the note and reads it carefully.
 Sir Rylanan tells you, "So...this was all a plot to kill our Queen's son--through us, her own Guards! We, who have sworn to protect her heir! I hope you gave those evil doers a good thrashing! Martine will pay for this some day! Let me reward you--you have done the kingdom of New Aluvia a great service on this day. We owe you a debt of gratitude."
 Sir Rylanan gives you Elysa's Favor.
Sir Rylanan gives you Sturdy Iron Key.
Sir Rylanan gives you Sturdy Iron Key.
