Neriak Third Gate Quests

Say: “hail”

Take this final piece and hurry, my power gets weaker by the moment.

Say: “hail”

I am Draan N'Ryt, provider of the purest [adamantite ore] and master smith of [adamantite chainmail]!

Say: “adamantite ore”

Adamantite ore is a very special metal that we smith in our unique Teir'Dal forge with our highly specialized techniques. It is also used by ogres in the crafting of their war plate and weapons. Adamantite ore can be worked like standard ores into bricks, blocks, and sheets but must be tempered with Neriak Nectar instead of water. Folded sheets of adamantite must also be tempered with Neriak Nectar and must be hammered with our Teir'Dal smithy hammer instead of the crude standard one. Our Teir'Dal enchanters have also developed the means to enchant small bricks of adamantite. Ogres may work adamantite ore in their forge as well but they must temper it with Ogre Swill instead of Neriak Nectar and because of their immense strength still use the standard smithy hammer.

Say: “adamantite chainmail”

Adamantite chainmail can only be crafted in our unique Teir'Dal forge using our highly specialized smithing techniques. It is a durable armor that is so light, it does not hinder even those who practice the mystical arts. All pieces of adamantite chainmail require the appropriate chain pattern for the piece desired, a Teir'Dal smithy hammer, a silk swatch, and shadow temper. Veils, neckguards, and bracelets require one set of adamantite rings. Coifs, mantles, skirts, sleeves, and gloves require two sets of adamantite rings. Tunics, capes, and leggings require three sets of adamantite rings. Once you have mastered the art of crafting adamantite chain you may want to attempt [enchanted adamantite] chainmail.

Say: “enchanted adamantite”

Enchanted adamantite chainmail requires an appropriate chain pattern for the piece desired, a Teir'Dal smithy hammer, a silk swatch, and shadow temper. Like standard adamantite chain it may only be crafted in our Teir'Dal Forge but requires that the rings be crafted from enchanted adamanatite.

Say: “hail”

It is good to see new blood in our halls. I am the leader of this house. If you are looking for guidance, seek out the masters within. I rarely appoint tasks to new recruits, unless I need to retrieve the [foreign take].

Say: “take”

We have rogues operating in a few great cities. We send young rogues to retrieve the monthly take. We have been awaiting the Freeport delivery. The last youth I sent must have been killed along the way. I will need a new runner to [retrieve the chest].

Say: “chest”

You seem able enough. Here. Take this note to Freeport. Go through the Commonlands and be careful not to encounter any Freeport guards. There is a network of aqueducts accessible through hidden passages. Search the outside walls of Freeport. Take the note to Giz. She will meet you at night, on an island in the harbor. Good luck.

Say: “trade”

I thought you might be one who was interested in the various different trades, but which one would suit you? Ahh, alas, it would be better to let you decide for yourself, perhaps you would even like to master them all! That would be quite a feat. Well, lets not get ahead of ourselves, here, take this book. When you have finished reading it, ask me for the [second book], and I shall give it to you. Inside them you will find the most basic recipes for each trade. These recipes are typically used as a base for more advanced crafting, for instance, if you wished to be a smith, one would need to find some ore and smelt it into something usable. Good luck!

Say: “second book”

Here is the second volume of the book you requested, may it serve you well!

Say: “Hail”

Hello, $name. I was hired to eradicate all these pesky rodents running around the city, but there are too many of them. If you could help me by bringing back four of their whiskers I should have a few spare coins for you.

Say: “Hail”

How's it going. scrub? Correct me if I'm wrong. but you appear to be a rogue. If you're a [new rogue]. it's my job to test your skill. If you are not. then by speaking with me. I see you show interest in [joining this house of rogues].

Say: “i am a new rogue”

We of the Ebon Mask must first be sure you are skilled with a blade. At the same time. we are attempting to create a new type of armor for our rogues. So it is the test of each young rogue to take this bag into Nektulos and fill it with three moss snake skins and three snake fangs. then combine them. We get the bag and you earn a little respect as well as the [Dark Shield of Ebon].

Say: “what dark shield of ebon”

The Dark Shield of Ebon was made for the use of this house by the finest craftsmen of Neriak. It can be carried in the hand as well as slung upon one's back. Besides this advantage. it is much lighter than most other shields.

Say: “i am joining this house of rogues”

We of the Ebon Mask must first be sure you are skilled with a blade. At the same time. we are attempting to create a new type of armor for our rogues. So it is the test of each young rogue to take this bag into Nektulos and fill it with three moss snake skins and three snake fangs. then combine them.

Say: “hail”

Greetings child, what business do you have here? I'm sorry but I will only deal with Clerics that are willing to prove their loyalty to Innoruuk. I cannot deal with every single heathen that feels it is necessary to bid me a good day. If you are a [Cleric of Innoruuk] I might be able to aid you in your training.

Say: “cleric of innoruuk”

Is that so $race $name. Well from the looks of you I wouldn't say you are much of anything yet. However, if you have the willingness and determination to serve your God then there might just be more hope for you then I would have thought. Obviously, to move forward in your training, you will need to shield yourself from your enemies and from the elements. I believe I have something that could help you if you are still [interested in proving yourself]

Say: “interested in proving myself”

Well I must say that I am impressed by your eagerness to learn, however, you are not the first and will not be the last I am sure that has sworn devotion to our Lord Innoruuk. Lets just hope you don't end up in the burial grounds where many promising young ones before you have found their resting place. If you are ready to begin gathering items to fashion your very own Initiate Darkpriest Armor then I will present you with a [magical relic].

Say: “magical relic”

I have a box that I have been keeping for quite some time and have been waiting to present it to someone like yourself. Someone that I had faith would be strong enough to use it's power to their benefit. This magical box can be used to refine certain metals into a magical compound that is used in crafting Initiate Darkpriest armor pieces. I have the molds necessary to craft Initiate Darkpriest [Helms], [Bracers], [Boots], [Armguards], [Greaves], [Gauntlets] and [Breastplates]. However there are some [important items] that you will need to collect before the molds will be of any use to you. One thing to keep in mind is that I suggest you craft your Breastplate last due to the difficulty of obtaining the items needed for that specific recipe.

Say: “important items”

There are certain items that will need to be gathered in our great city of Neriak along with many different things gathered outside in the Forest of Nektulos, where most of your training will take place. The most important component that you will need to collect while adventuring in the forest are Helms that are only worn by Priests of Rodcet Nife. These vile creatures have set up camp in the forest from what I have heard and it is your responsibility to find and execute them. These helms will be your most important component that you will gather because it is used in all [armor recipes] as the metal that you will forge your armor with.

Say: “armor recipes”

Ah of course, I almost forgot that you will need to know what items to combine in the Dark Blessed Box that I presented you with. Simply tell me the armor piece that you wish to craft and I will give you the list of items that you will need to combine, along with the applicable mold. For example, should you want to craft a Helm first you would say, I want to craft a Initiate Darkpriest`s Helm. Please remember that the exact items must be combined in exact quantities in the box or the infusion will not take place. After you have combined together the items necessary to infuse your metal the correct way, you will need to take the Refined sheet of Holy Metal to the nearest forge and combine it with the correct mold to yield your armor piece.

Say: “armguards”

Excellent $name! To create the correct compound in your Dark Blessed Box that will be need to be placed into a forge with this mold to craft your Initiate Darkpriest's Armguards you will need to collect and combine the following items. 3 Helms of the Lifebringer, 1 Garter Snake Tongue, 2 Ash Drakeling Scales and 2 Grapes.

Say: “boots”

I would definitely agree that you will need some decent Boots if you wish to last long in any extreme climates like Lavastorm! Combine 2 Helms of the Lifebringer, 2 Fire Beetle Legs and 2 Flasks of Water to fashion the correct Refined sheet of Holy Metal. Once you have done this place the Refined sheet of Holy Metal along with this mold in any forge to craft your Initiate Darkpriest's Boots.

Say: “bracer”

To fashion your own Initiate Darkpriest's Bracer you will need to collect 1 Helm of the Lifebringer, 1 Orc Scalp, 1 Snake Egg and 1 Red Wine. Combine these in your box to create the correct Refined sheet of Holy Metal that you will place in any forge along with this mold to craft your Initiate Darkpriest`s Bracer.

Say: “breastplate”

So, the time has come for you to gather the items necessary for your most important piece of Armor Branaddar. You will need to combine 5 Helms of the Lifebringer, 1 Deathfist Templar Scalp, 1 Embalming Dust, 1 Matted Halfling Hide and 1 Woven Grass Amulet. Once you have prepared this final Refined sheet of Holy Metal place it in a forge along with this mold to craft your Initiate Darkpriest's Breastplate. After you have done this return to me when you are ready for your final test of loyalty.

Say: “gauntlets”

To fashion your own Initiate Darkpriest's Gauntlets you will need to collect 3 Helms of the Lifebringer, 1 Halfling Blood, 1 Leatherfoot Raiders Skullcap, 1 snake scales and 1 glass shard. Combine these in your Box to create the correct Refined sheet of Holy Metal that you will place in any forge along with this mold to craft your Initiate Darkpriest's Gauntlets.

Say: “greaves”

Take this mold $name. You will need to place this in a Forge along with the correct Refined sheet of Holy Metal to craft your Initiate Darkpriest's Greaves. The correct Refined sheet of Holy Metal for these greaves can be fashioned by combining 4 Helms of the Lifebringer, 2 Spiderling Eyes, 2 Deathfist Legionairre Scalps and 1 bottle of kalish.

Say: “hail”

Hail, $name! I sense the gift of hatred in your aura. What status do you hold within these Spires?

Say: “initiate”

Well met, Initiate $name. If you desire to raise your station in this temple, I have a task for you. Are you willing to accept the task I am about to set before you?

Say: “willing”

As an initiate of the Spires, you have proven your hatred of the halflings who are desecrating our forest with their feeble shrines and camps. They persist in their hopeless task and seem to anticipate many of our tactics against them. Go out into the Nektulos and slay the one called Master Whoopal. Take his head to Draxiz N'Ryt so that he may probe the brain.

Say: “disciple”

I have an important task for a disciple of Hate such as yourself. It is no secret that King Naythox Thex wishes to expand the Teir'Dal Empire to the continent of Faydwer. We have a camp established in the Lesser Faydark near the stronghold of the vampire lord, Mayong Mistmoore. The camp is constantly under siege by the Fier'Dal and Koada'Dal and must rely on the support of Neriak for supplies necessary to survival. Are you willing to serve your King and Empire by delivering the provisions?

Say: “deliver the provisions”

The provisions are crated and prepared for shipment by Dran Slug Rembor. Go to his establishment in the Foreign Quarter and tell him Ithvol sent you. Make haste, young disciple of Hate! The fate of the Empire hangs upon our support of the Faydark Camp!

Say: “hail”

Greetings, $name. So you are one of Selzar's new recruits. You are to assist in the construction of the armor you will don as a new Rogue of the House of the Ebon Mask. I have assembled a kit that is used in the crafting of Ashen Bone Mail. You must travel beyond Neriak into the Nektulos Forest for the [materials] that compose the armor.

Say: “materials”

Many species of dangerous creatures, the restless dead, and halfling invaders from Rivervale inhabit the Nektulos Forest. You must defeat these creatures and halflings in order to obtain the materials. The materials you seek depend on the piece of armor you desire. Do you desire to craft [gloves], [boots], a [bracer], a [coif], [leggings], [sleeves], or a [tunic]?

I am the Scribe of Innoruuk. If you do not have business with me, begone!

Say: “innoruuk”

I am his scribe, and He is our god. There is nothing else to be said.

Say: “scribe of dal”

The Scribes of Dal? All of them are long since [dead].. or at least most would say that.

Say: “dead”

Perhaps, perhaps not. I cannot remember, but perhaps Innoruuk would help me remember should you tithe him a bottle of red wine from the Blind Fish.

Say: “vow”

Break the vow? She might. Were you to tithe 70 gold to your god, Innoruuk, he might aid you.

Say: “Hail”

What is this I see before me? A would-be hero of the Dead? You reek of false bravado. I have seen others much stronger than you meet their fate at the end of a blade. I see no reason to continue our conversation. How can one such as you assist with my [delegated duties]?

Say: “delegated duties”

Why do you ask? I know why. Glory has captured your affections. Those who seek glory find death. Still, you may be of some use. Before I assign you a task, I must be assured of your power. I require you to [perform a test].

How dare you enter my presence?! In the name of the Dead I should strike you down!

When you learn to serve the Dead, then I will find the time to speak of such things.

Say: “perform a test”

In the Lavastorm Mountain Range there have been sightings of a paladin, one Sir Lindeal. He has compromised our routes between.. well, that is none of your concern. All you need to know is that this paladin of the Temple of Marr must be sent to his everlasting life. Do so and prove your worth to us. I await your proof. Use no assistance. If you are truly his equal then I shall know. I know all.

Say: “Thex Mallet”

All you can know is that the Thex Mallet is desired by our Queen. If we are not successful in its retrieval, it will be our heads which adorn her trophy room. We have learned its location and believe it to be broken into three separate pieces.

Say: “Queen Cristanos Thex”

The Queen of the Teir'Dal is the most powerful of all. It is she who should sit on the throne and not King Naythox. The Dead are her humble servants. We await the day when she shall finally take her rightful position as ruler of Neriak.

Say: “King Naythox Thex”

A competent and powerful warrior, but a warrior nonetheless. He has suppressed the true glory of the Teir'Dal. Perhaps it is time for a new ruler of Neriak.

Say: “appointed tasks”

When you learn to serve the Dead, then I will find the time to speak of such things.

Very well. You have gained the appropriate power. I require you to journey to the Commonlands and seek out Kizdean Gix. He is a member of a very important force. Tell him 'Utalk Adarev Otcin'. Remember this password.

Say: “hail”

Hello there. sweetie!! How about letting me dance for you? Two gold and I will do a little dance for you.

Say: “tayla”

Why do you seek that little scamp when you have Mare right here? If you really want to know where she is, it will cost you. Did I ever tell you that my heart belongs to Jasper?

Say: “Hail”

Welcome to the Furrier Royale. Here you will find the finest skins from a variety of Norraths lesser creatures.

Say: “Hail”

Have you come to buy a scroll from me?

Say: “coin”

So, you want a coin do you?

Say: “Hail”

Hey! What's up? If you want some real fun. go downstairs at the Maiden's Fancy.

Say: “Hail”

Lower your voice, $race. These tomes hold many secrets as well as curses. Say the wrong word loudly enough and you may end up a frog, dead, or worse. Heed my warning for I will not repeat it.

Say: “flayed”

The flaying is done by our priests and the Denouncer. Flaying itself is used in many other rituals as well. For instance, the skin of a flayed goblin can be used to record a misdeed. The perpetrator records the misdeed upon the skin, an ancient practice which allows the victim to wreak [vengeance] upon the one who wronged them, or their ancestors. The perpetrator shows strength by allowing the victim a chance at vengeance, even though the victim is usually dead.

Say: “vengeance”

Vengeance can only be wrought if the victim is given the goblin skin. Since the victim is usually dead it's not much of a danger. But..it has been known to happen. Ironically, this vengeance is possible through the use of the Blue Flame. This flame can act as a doorway to the nether realm, to [summon] the spirit of a victim. On the skin is recorded the House name of the victim and the reason for the deed.

Say: “summon”

Only the Denouncer can call forth a vengeful spirit from the flames. But before he can do so, he'll need blood from a member of the victim's House. Once the blood is cast into the flames, the spirit will emerge only for a short time before the negative pull of the other world draws it back. Why do you ask so many questions on this? Do you have one of these skins?

Say: “yes”

Ahh, well I'll assume if you could read it you wouldn't be asking these questions. Fortunately for you I do have the ability to read these skins and will do so for only one star ruby. These spirits will often reward those who give them their vengeance. With my translation you may find the name of the House. Hand me the skin and a star ruby and we'll see.

Say: “Hail”

Greetings, $name! We of the Dead are proud to have you among us. Your lineage is well known. Still, you must learn to claw your way to the upper echelon. There are many [menial tasks] to be performed before you can truly be inducted as a member.

Say: “menial tasks”

You cannot avoid the toil of peons. We have all spent our time in the lower ranks. There are duties such as [collecting beetle eyes].

Say: “collecting beetle eyes”

Take this chest. It has been fitted with a mold designed to hold ten beetle eyes. We require them for further experiments. Do not return until you fill the chest.

How dare you enter my presence?! In the name of the Dead I should strike you down!

Say: “other components”

The other components that are required are two Bull Elephant tusks. Mammoth tusks would do as well.

Say: “Hail”

So,

Welcome to the Hall of the Ebon Mask. You had best be a rogue or you have no business here. We have nothing to say to outsiders.

Say: “dark assassin”

Aye we were visited by that dark assassin, he left some sketch in my safekeeping, I would gladly give you a copy if you would take care of a problem that has been vexing me.

Say: “vexing you”

An old student of mine who goes by the name Lon has disgraced this House; his betrayal to Innoruuk and Neriak is unforgivable.' Pazin grins 'He must be punished through deceit and trickery. Make him your friend, do as he asks, and pretend to be Redeemed as he calls it. Once you are Redeemed take the cursed blade of Ro and run it through his heart. Bring me his rapier and his head and I shall know the task is complete.

Say: “hail”

Salutations, $name! Your devotion to our Lord Innoruuk is evident in your actions and on your soul. As a member of the Spires of Innoruuk, you are required to obtain and wear the symbol of your station among the clergy. I can award you the [hematite symbol of Innoruuk] worn by the initiates of the Spires.

Say: “hematite symbol of innoruuk”

The forest beyond the gates of our grand city has been shaped by the magic of our Lord Innoruuk to be more hospitable to our kind. There are halfling druids in the service of Karana who have set up shrines there in hopes of restoring the forest to its former state. They could never succeed in their task with their feeble powers granted by their insignificant god, yet still, they are a nuisance. Bring me four of the holy symbols worn by the druids and I shall grant you the initiate symbol of Innoruuk.

Say: “trades”

I thought you might be one who was interested in the various different trades, but which one would suit you? Ahh, alas, it would be better to let you decide for yourself, perhaps you would even like to master them all! That would be quite a feat. Well, lets not get ahead of ourselves, here, take this book. When you have finished reading it, ask me for the [second book], and I shall give it to you. Inside them you will find the most basic recipes for each trade. These recipes are typically used as a base for more advanced crafting, for instance, if you wished to be a smith, one would need to find some ore and smelt it into something usable. Good luck!

Say: “second book”

Here is the second volume of the book you requested, may it serve you well!

Say: “received your summons”

You have performed admirably in the past, so I shall overlook your tardiness responding to my call. One of our own has heeded the call of Solusek Ro over that of Innoruuk and is conspiring with that other traitorous cur, Opal Dark Briar. The wizard Salarz is a Teir'Dal now in the hands of the Knights of Marr in Freeport, but we have good information connecting him with the Dismal Rage and the Temple of Solusek Ro in a plot to create a phylactery. Somehow, this is connected to the news you brought from Befallen about the resurrection of Marnek. One who might know the answer is the oracle in the Ocean of Tears. Seek him out and learn what is required to create a phylactery so that we will remain one step ahead of any others. Go now and take this letter for the oracle with you!

Say: “hail”

You'd better speak more swiftly than my blades or you won't walk out of here $name.

You are quite bold to approach a member of the Ebon Mask. Now be smart and run away.

Prepare to be gutted like a fish.

Ah, come to speak business have you, I figured Ryoz would be sending someone to me eventually. Well then, let's get down to business. I know of a [potent poison] that will kill even the hardiest Froglok quickly and silently, but with great pain.

Say: “potent poison”

It is a bubbling concoction that can be quite dangerous to make for those with less than skilled hands. I will make this poison for you. However, I will need you to gather the [necessary materials].

Say: “necessary materials”

Well, first off, we will need one dose of Mage's Bane which I just happen to have here. However, I will also need a dose of Susceptible Essence, a dose of Mind Melt and two [special ingredients]. When you have collected these poisons use this mortar to combine them and then hand me the result. Now you must be careful as this mortar is very fragile. If you happen to break it just tell me you need another and I will give you a new one.

Say: “special ingredients”

There is an associate of mine who can be found in a place known as the cauldron. Show him this note and he should be able to point you in the right direction. Be wary, retrieving these two ingredients will not be easy. Keep in mind that my friend will not talk to you unless you have some proof from me. If you lose this note come on back, let me know and I will write another for you.

Say: “need new mortar”

Here you go. Be careful.

Say: “need new note”

Here you go. Be careful

Say: “hail”

What have we here? Another hopeful member of the House of the Ebon Mask? You've got much to learn before you will be of much use to our House or the secret operations that support both the thrones of our King and Queen. First you need to outfit yourself in a suit of [armor], $name.

Say: “armor”

Seek Kanthu M'Rekkor and give him this request parchment. When you have outfitted yourself in a suit of armor return to the House of the Ebon Mask and I will grant you [another task].

Say: “other task”

Ah, you are eager to advance further within the House of the Ebon Mask. Although it is my duty to aid your training, do not allow your arrogance to blind you to your lowly position in our House. I can see that you have not yet learned to temper the use of your tongue. Your next task is to assist the construction of a [weapon] and [bow] worthy of being wielded by a Rogue of the House of the Ebon Mask.

Say: “bow”

The Halfling Druids from Rivervale that frequent the ancient druid ruins in the Nektulos Forest are guarded by Leatherfoot Warriors. The peck druids perform the rituals that they hope will prevent Innoruuks corruption from spreading deeper into the Forest and the lands beyond. Should you slay the peck warriors guarding the druids and obtain a Leatherfoot Short Bow, take the bow, a Black Mamba Skin, and a Lock of Zombie Hair to Andara C'Luzz at The Bleek Fletcher in the Neriak Commons near the headquarters of the Indigo Brotherhood.

Say: “weapon”

Beyond the mouth of Neriak lies the Nektulos Forest. There the Halflings of Rivervale have set up camps at ancient druid holy sites in an attempt to cleanse Innoruuks corruption that is spreading through the Nektulos Forest. Slay these trespassers and bring me a Large Snake Skin, a Halfling Fibula bone, and a Halfling Clavicle bone.

Say: “Hail”

On what grounds do you think you are welcome to address me like that vermin? I am afraid you will have to prove yourself to me before I can treat you with any respect. Do you feel that you are [worthy] to stand before me?

Say: “worthy”

Very well then. you are lucky that I have been looking for some sort of an apprentice to help me out in gathering some hides from those nasty halflings. I did have a young one as yourself working for me before but unfortunately they didn't work out as you can see by looking at this autopsy table. I would hope that you will complete my [tasks]. for your sake.

Say: “tasks”

Please come back after you have fashioned your robe. I may have a [final test] for you.

Say: “final test”

The final test that I require one to complete before I am content with them being knowledgable in the early ways of Necromancy is one that will test your determination. Are you ready to be tested?

Say: “hail”

Greetings! You must be a stranger or [new to the Hall]. If you are a stranger. be warned that these halls are intended for the Ebon Mask only. If you are found to be a member of another house. you just may feel the sting of a blade in your back.

Say: “i am new to the hall”

Then I am glad to make your acquaintance. Have you ever been to Freeport? If not. how would you like to go? It is a test of your cunning we wish. Are you prepared to risk your young life? Are you [ready to venture to Freeport]?

Say: “i am ready to venture to freeport”

Find a way to the port of Freeport. Seek out Giz Dinree. She is usually near the shores at night. She is your contact. Tell her you were [sent by TanI]. She will fill you in on your mission. Good luck. Do not waste time practicing your skills. Go as you are.

Say: “book of souls”

The Book of Souls chronicles all the lives Innoruuk has tainted over the years. It is in the care of the Maestro of Rancor. I can use this tome as a basis for my translation, if you return it and the note to me. An experienced practitioner in the art of non-detection should be able to snatch it from its resting place, don't you think, $race?'

Say: “note”

Oh, you want that piece of paper Stanos was so hot after? Well it's mine now, though it looks like ogre scratch to me. You're not getting it, Stanos is not getting it, and Hanns is not getting it. It is MINE! Now, $race, scamper off like the dog you are, before I decide I need more practice with these short swords!

Come to find out about the Wayfarers Brotherhood, hm? I think I saw you around here long ago. Because you are familiar to me, I will trust you with some [

Say: “information”

The Wayfarers Brotherhood is pretty particular about who they do business with. You will need to prove yourself to them. You can start gaining their gratitude by helping them. The Wayfarers Brotherhood will ask you to answer some questions when you first meet with them. They tend to call all of their assignments 'adventures.' You'd do well to keep that in mind as they'll be more likely to give you some tasks. There is other information that makes them easier to [

Say: “deal with”

There are several camps of Wayfarers Brotherhood explorers around the world. In each camp you'll find a trusted Wayfarers Brotherhood member that has the task of recruiting adventurers that will take on interesting, and potentially lethal, [

Say: “work”

The Wayfarers Brotherhood believes in giving something for something. For each adventure you take from them, they will add you to their Favor Journal. With the points of Favor that their record keepers have counted for you, you can trade your good Favor for wonderful treasures and goods. Also, the more adventures you do for the Wayfarers Brotherhood, the more your Favor increases. The harder jobs get you more Favor, by the way. As you gain more Favor, the Wayfarers Brotherhood treasure keepers will let you peek at some of their more unique and sought after items. So, it pays to get in good with them, you see! And there's [

Say: “more”

You should also know that there are five magi in the Wayfarers Brotherhood that have found very unique magic stones in the world that they are able to use to transport adventurers to one another. They have placed a magus with one of these stones at each large camp. They call it Farstone Magic. And that's not the only [

We've found some strange items off the dead in the dungeons. At first we just thought they were simple things -- rocks, pebbles, gems, and the like -- and then we noticed they had very unusual auras about them. Well, one day, Morden Rasp was toying with one -- a shiny green shard -- and he went to scrape it with his dagger. Suddenly, the shard began to reform and fused with his dagger. While the dagger remained as fine as ever, Morden himself felt a surge of strength! So, you will want to watch out for these strange magic pieces in the world. Now, I suggest you go talk to Selephra Giztral, Barstre Songweaver, Vual Stoutest, Teria Grinntli, or Ruanya Windleaf. They handle all of those who are interested in working for the Wayfarers Brotherhood and getting rewards. Remember well what I've told you!

You show a great deal of courage in coming here to speak with me at such a young age. I'm afraid you are not yet ready to pursue work with the Wayfarers Brotherhood.Come back when you have more experience and we will talk again.

Say: “Hail”

So you are the next pathetic maggot I have the displeasure of training to be a useful Shadowknight of the Lodge of the Dead. First you must get yourself outfitted in a suit of [armor]. those rags you wear can not even contain the stench of your miserable hide and will do no good protecting it from the edge of an enemy's blade.

Say: “armor”

Seek Krivn S'Tai in the Commoner quarter of Neriak and give him this request parchment. Krivn S'Tai has been paid in advance by the Lodge of the Dead for the requested service. Simply give him the request parchment and he will instruct you further. When you have outfitted yourself in a suit of armor return to the Lodge of the Dead and I will grant you [another task].

Say: “task”

Ah. you are eager to advance further within the Lodge of the Dead. Although it is my duty to aid your training. do not allow your arrogance to blind you to your lowly position amongst the Queens most loyal subjects. Your next task is to assist the construction of a [weapon] and [shield] worthy of being wielded by a Shadowknight of the Lodge of the Dead.

Say: “weapon”

Beyond the mouth of Neriak lies the Nektulos Forest. There the walking dead can be found digging their way from the ashen soil of the [Ultricle]. their flesh cured and hardened and bones strengthened from the minerals and volcanic ash in which they rested in death. Return some of these undead to the rest they have abandoned and bring to me some Leathered Zombie Flesh, a Petrified Humerus bone, and a Petrified Rib bone.

Say: “shield”

The bones of the dead that dig from their graves at the [Ultricle] in the Nektulos Forest have been strengthened by the minerals and ashen soil. Return some of these walking dead to the rest they have abandoned and bring to me four Petrified Femurs.

Say: “Ultricle”

In the Nektulos Forest near the pass to the Lavastorm Mountains is a gray region barren of life whose boundaries are marked by carved stones displaying runes the color of freshly spilt blood. The area the runed stones mark is called the Ultricle. It is where the weak. dead. and dying Teir'Dal that have not earned a noble burial are left to rot and one day if they are lucky join the ranks of the Undead.

Say: “hail”

Greetings, disciple $name. Feel free to inspect my wares. I am here to serve all necromancers of the Dead. I can also enchant a [Ring of the Dead] if you have one.

Say: “ring of the dead”

The ring of the Dead is the mark of loyal members of the his house. One can use it to bind his soul to any point, but only once and then the enchantment is gone. It is my duty to enchant the ring of the Dead once it is drained of all power, but only for a loyal member. I believe you to be loyal. I require the drained ring and ten gold coins.

When you learn to serve The Dead, then I will find the time to speak of such things.

Say: “hail”

Welcome to the Lodge of the Dead. May you serve our Queen with the bleeding of others.

Say: “befallen”

It is true that the return of Marnek could create difficulties for us, especially if this has the blessing of Solusek Ro himself. Therefore, I command you to deliver to me any further information you uncover regarding the plans of the Burning Dead, and likewise I order you to return here at my bidding for further instructions in this matter. Now, begone.

Say: “trade”

I thought you might be one who was interested in the various different trades, but which one would suit you? Ahh, alas, it would be better to let you decide for yourself, perhaps you would even like to master them all! That would be quite a feat. Well, lets not get ahead of ourselves, here, take this book. When you have finished reading it, ask me for the [second book], and I shall give it to you. Inside them you will find the most basic recipes for each trade. These recipes are typically used as a base for more advanced crafting, for instance, if you wished to be a smith, one would need to find some ore and smelt it into something usable. Good luck!

Say: “second book”

Here is the second volume of the book you requested, may it serve you well!
