Paineel Quests

Say: “Ahhh, I feel much better now...”

Arrrreeeee!

Say: “hail”

Greetings, $name. You have come to me searching for tasks and tasks I have. Would you judge yourself an [experienced heretic] or one who has [much to learn]?

Say: “much to learn”

Very well, $name. I do have a task for you. There is an old and frail Erudite male who now lives in Toxxulia named Aglthin Dasmore. He has left the ways of Cazic-Thule and no longer practices our craft. He has been stripped of his power and wealth, so he spends his time fishing by the river. Our great Lord of Fear has decreed that his life is forfeit. Slay him, and bring me proof of the deed.

Say: “experienced heretic”

Ah. Excellent. I have just the task for you, $name. In Kerra Ridge, there is a particular cat named Kirran Mirrah that we have been using to gather information about, well, certain aspects of cat society. He is no longer providing information for us and we have something for him that may encourage him to assist again. Ha! Hand him this sealed bag for us. It may just change his point of view. Hahaha!

Say: “hail”

Ah, greetings. I hope you are a student of the way of fear. Within this temple there are many who can teach you to harness your gifts. I am an instructor in the [rituals of fear].

Say: “rituals of fear”

So you wish to learn, eh? I am working on a ritual to strike fear into the hearts of the other inhabitants of Odus. The reagents I require for this ritual are the doll of a Kerran priestess, the ichor of a giant wooly spider, your initiate symbol of Cazic-Thule, and a giant snake fang with which to carve my glyphs. Fetch me these components. We shall infect this land with fear, and I shall reward you with the station of disciple of this temple.

Say: “understand common”

Of course you do. Now, listen carefully. It may be too much for your feeble mind to gather all at once, and I hate to repeat myself. Bring me one bat wing, one rat ear, one snake egg, and one fire beetle eye. Take this bag, and make sure it's sealed before you return it to me. Snake eggs spoil. Now, quit staring at me with your jaw hanging open like a dead codfish. I would have mistaken you for one, but dead codfish smell better. Haha!

Say: “hail”

I'm not in any mood for conversation. My favorite hat was torn right from my head by a gigantic bat the other night and I am quite upset.

Say: “other tasks”

I will sew you your own personal dreadful cap if you bring me the necessary components. I will need the pelt of a feared beast, some gold thread, and an imbued amber.

Say: “hat”

It is a marvelous cap sewn from the finest textiles and imbued with the divine power of our lord of fear. Cazic Thule!

Say: “Hail”

Hail. $name! I thought I heard the clink of coins and now. here you stand! Please feel free to browse through my stock.

Say: “hail”

Greetings, young one! There are many tasks to be performed aside from your studies to truly harness the powers passed down to us by our ancestor [Miragul]. The most basic of these tasks is the gathering of bat wings and snake fangs from the yard outside our city. I will reward you for every two bat wings and two snake fangs you bring to me.

Say: “miragul”

You do not know of Miragul?!! You have more to learn of the heritage of the Dark Truth than at first I thought. Miragul was the first High Man to unlock the secrets of necromancy and is the founder of our city as well as the creator of the treacherous Hole.

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: “Hail”

Welcome to the Fortune's Fancy. $name! I carry only the finest jewels and jewelry in all the land. All of the [charges and accusations] made against me are obviously false. as you can see by my beautiful wares.

Say: “Hail”

Yes. yes. Scrolls I have. scrolls you need. Make up your mind quickly. I don't have all day to stand here talking to you.

Say: “hail”

Greetings. Perhaps within that husk you call a body there is some worth? Are you [experienced] in your craft, young one, or are you a [neonate]?

Say: “neonate”

Well then, child, I may still have a task for you. Will you [make use of your pathetic cowardice], then, eh?

Say: “make use of my pathetic cowardice”

I see. This will not be the first time for you, I am sure. Take this list to Auhrik Siet`ka. His writing has become illegible in his old age, but he shall clarify what it is he needs you to do. Do as he says, child, and perhaps you will prove yourself a bit more worthy than the rotting flesh he will most likely have you return to him.

Say: “experienced”

Ahhhh, a youth doth approach me with such confidence! That is to be commended in and of itself. Ordinarily, I would turn you away without a second glance, but perhaps you can be of some use. Tell me, child, are you [willing to assist] me in a small, yet important, task?

Say: “willing to assist”

Good, child. Deliver this note to Veisha Fathomwalker. You shall find her patrolling the outer regions of Toxxulia Forest. I trust that you will keep your eyes to yourself in this matter. Now go, and please travel within the veil of night, so you will not be seen by those whose minds are still clouded with delusions of Erudin's grandeur.

Say: “Hail”

Ah. hello young adventurer! A mind is a powerful tool indeed but it never hurts to have a strong weapon by your side to cleave through the skulls of your enemies. Feel free to look at my selection of weapons.

Say: “Hail”

Hrm? Yes. yes? Buy something. or leave me alone!

Say: “apprentice”

As stubborn and foolish as he sometimes was, he was full of potential. Had he managed to achieve my age he doubtless would have surpassed my abilities. Though I am not surprised at his passing, he will be sorely missed. Well, I thank you for your efforts. Feel free to meet me in the tavern for a drink sometime. I must now get to the task of replacing my associate.

Say: “replace him”

Hmm, you seem a bit green and I hesitate to trust you with such an important work, but time is of the essence as my days in this world are running out. Bring me back a bottle of cough elixir and, if you are still interested, I will instruct you further.

Say: “searching”

I possess a key that will open a sealed tome to be found somewhere in the ruins uncovered here not long ago. Recover that tome for me and I am certain I will be able to corrupt the Ghoulbane. My name will be etched in history and you will wield a legend! You must hurry now, and I must return to my studies. Do not return to me, $name, without the tome.

Say: “items”

I will need the Ghoulbane, the Soul Leech, the Blade of Abrogation, and the Decrepit Sheath. Alas, I am far too ill to travel and collect these pieces. I must call upon your youth and ability again, $name. Return to me with these items and I shall be known throughout history as the greatest grave lord to have walked Norrath and you shall be among the most powerful in our art.

Say: “hail”

Welcome to the Tabernacle of Terror. Perhaps you can control your fear long enough to be of [service] to us.

Say: “service”

I need some things fetched from the creatures just outside our city for some ritual experimentation. Bring me two tufts of bat fur and two fire beetle legs and I will school you in the ways of terror.

Say: “Hail”

Hello. Do you need something or did you merely wish to grace me with your oh-so-delightfully perfumed breath?

Say: “work”

My name is Erandi Natasu. I am here representing a group of interested parties among the merchant coalitions across Norrath. You do not need to know who is involved with this. We are looking to hire a few people to [take care] of some things for us.

Say: “take care”

Our businesses are hurting, people cannot keep up their stock or afford to stay in business with the upsurge in [piracy] upon our waters. Trade lines are cut between the continents; supplies are not arriving at their proper destinations. It is quite dreadful.

Say: “piracy”

As the pirates that reside in Broken Skull Rock become stronger and more bold, the attacks on our ships have increased dramatically. Would you be interested in helping the very merchants that supply your food and clothing by performing some mercenary services?

Say: “help”

Wonderful! There are a few ships in particular that have been causing us much grief, their names are Stormwave, Lady Dirulia, Dandolak's Run, Oceancrasher, and Windscorn. Between these five ships terror has been spread to the end of the seas. Each crew seems to have some kind of common badge amongst themselves, if you can slay two members of every crew I believe the merchants would be satisfied. Bring us these seals and we will be most pleased.

Say: “hail”

Hello. Please leave me be. I am studying several interesting essays on mana storage devices.

Say: “i wish to speak to you on a matter of the soul”

I haven't heard anyone say that in a while. I am surprised that you want to follow the legacy of Azraxs. Take this book and write down the instructions on how to complete your soul trap and then give the book back to me.

Say: “Hail”

Good day. $name! Have you visited Taria already? Taria does indeed make some of the finest statuettes in all the land. I fear. though. that she has lost her faith. She used to make idols depicting our Lord of Fear. Now she dabbles in the creation of [other idols]!

Say: “what other idols”

Well. just the other day. she was commissioned to create a representation of Tunare for Iva down at the Bakery. I've always known that Iva was a bit odd. but that is just downright strange!

Say: “Hail”

Salutations $name. If you are here to make use of the forges then feel free to pursue your crafts within this chamber. If you are a new Fell Blade in need of a suit of armor and weapon then I will assist you in crafting [armaments] fitting of a young Shadow Knight.

Say: “armaments”

You will require this specially prepared Mail Assembly Kit in order to construct a suit of Fell Blade Armor. The materials required vary depending on the piece of armor you desire to craft. Once you have been outfitted in the Fell Blade Armor. return to me and I will present you with a somewhat important [task]. Do you desire to craft a [fell blade helm], a [fell blade bracer], [fell blade gauntlets], [fell blade boots], [fell blade vambraces], [fell blade greaves], or a [fell blade breastplate]?

Say: “task”

The blacksmiths of [Clan Kolbok] craft weapons using an ancient Kobold tradition that has been long forgotten by most of the kobold clans. I believe there is something to be learned from their traditions should we discover their intricacies. Go into the Warrens and locate the chambers of the kobold blacksmiths. There you should be able to find some record of their traditional techniques to return to me here in Paineel where they can be translated and studied.

Say: “greaves”

To assemble Fell blade Greaves you will need to obtain two bricks of crude bronze and smelt them in a forge with a Water Flask and this Crude Greaves Mold. Once that is done combine the Crude Bronze Greaves with two Intact Kobold Pelts and two Calcified Tibia in the Mail Assembly Kit.

Say: “helm”

Say: “Hail”

$name! My hero! I am at your service. I have been told to tell you all I know of the Head of the Valiant. Its construction is a mockery to the gods of Light, an abomination above all others. The method of creation of the Head of the Valiant was passed down through my family for centuries. All I require of you is the physical head of a valiant warrior. I have the rest of the materials right here to fashion this item for you.

Say: “Hail”

Hello. $name. I have some of the finest baked goods in Paineel. It's the best home cooking you have had. ever. That be my word.

Say: “Osaftars”

Osaftars did you say? Jerith knows this name. Osaftars is a scourge of the seas. He takes what he wants and does what he wants. He is a captain of a ship. Yes, Jerith does believe the ship's name was the Stormwave. It can probably be found in the port town of [Dulak].

Say: “Dulak”

Dulak is a pirate town on the island of Broken Skull Rock. A dangerous place. There is a ship that Jerith has taken to get there from the shores of the Stonebrunt Mountains.

Say: “Hail”

Hail and well met. $name. I am Keeshla Levlora. a resident necromancer of this beautiful city. If you are a practitioner of the dark arts under our lord Cazic-Thule. know that you are welcome here.

Say: “hail”

Hello, $name. Interested in the art of research? I have several tomes which may aid you in such a pursuit.

Say: “Hail”

Have you spoken with Danus? If not. I suggest you do. so that I will not waste my breath further.

Say: “Hail”

Good day. $name. Feel free to look through my inventory of spells. but if you touch anything without first buying it I. will have your skin pulled from your flesh. Slowly.

Say: “Hail”

Hello. researcher! There are many things to be found here. Our selection grows daily. Would you [care for any books]?

Say: “i care for any books”

Excellent! I love to see the young so interested in knowledge. What subject would you like to research? My most interesting topics today would have to be the Hole. old Paineel. the Underfoot. and the history of Paineel.

Say: “tell me about the history of paineel”

Tis an excellent topic. $name. Much can be learned of a civilization if one first understands its history. I hope you enjoy the book.

Say: “tell me about the hole”

Here you are. $name. The book has old bindings and is worthless to most. but the value of knowledge is priceless.

Say: “tell me about the underfoot”

Excellent choice. $name. The Underfoot is a mysterious place. I hope you get as much from the book as I did.

Say: “tell me about the old paineel”

Take this book. $name. It contains the history of the ancient city from which we came.

Say: “Hail”

Lots to do! Many books to place and scrolls to file! Feel free to browse but. please. don't make a mess!

Say: “Hail”

Greetings. $name. My wares are few but valuable. including books of research into the less widely known arts of necromancy. Perhaps you should have a look.

Say: “hail”

Desist in your prattle. If you want idle chitchat. talk to someone else.

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.

Say: “Hail”

Hello there. $name! Can't take your valuables with you? Weighing you down. are they. $name? Leave them with me. In my capable hands and in the hands of my capable staff. they will be safe from prying eyes and quick hands!

Say: “hail”

Ahhhahahaha! The terror that lays over this city like a blanket tingles my bones with vigor. I seek a fellow apostle of Cazic-Thule to assist me in the [summoning of Terror].

Say: “summoning of terror”

It will be a frightfully fulfilling summons. To do this, I need an eye of urd, some basalt drake scales, the lens of Lord Soptyvr, and a lock of widowmistress hair.

Say: “Hail”

Hello there. $name. Fear not for your valuables. I have known Marsa for many years and she has not once taken anyone's property. She is. perhaps. the last honest person in this city.

Say: “Hail”

Buy. or leave. Make up your mind. I have no time for idle chitchat.

Say: “hail”

What do you want? Do not disturb me lest you plan to assist in my [summoning of Dread].

Say: “summoning of dread”

There are some components essential to the summoning of the avatar of Dread. I require the eye of a griffon. some [powder of reanimation]. the brain of the Ishva Mal. and the toes of an ice giant. Fetch me these reagents so that we may summon the avatar to forge a shield worn only by the mightiest apostles of Cazic-Thule.

Say: “powder of reanimation”

There is a gnome necromancer who has been experimenting with a powder used in reanimating long dead organic tissue. He is known to frequent places populated by undead in order to pursue his research. Seek him out and procure a bit of his powder.

Say: “hail”

Hail to yourself fool. Leave me be. I have [matters of importance] to ponder.

Say: “matters of importance”

If you are so greatly interested in my affairs then so be it. I have lost my skeleten servant. He now wanders the yard, taking his pain out on the new apprentices of our guild. I cannot return to my guild without ridding the yard of that menace for my mistake will cost me dearly if it is brought to the attention of my masters. Hrm. Perhaps you could destroy my pet for me and bring me proof of his removal. If you do I may even grace you with a [reward].

Say: “reward”

Speak not of reward when you have not even finished this simple task! Now leave me be.

Say: “Hail”

Oh. hello there. $name! I have been absolutely slaving all day to choose a new [advertisement] for my wonderful store here. Care to hear what I have?

Say: “what advertisement?”

Excellent! Here goes. Come to Pardas Nalue's Sinfully Handsome Tailor! You can get everything you need to be just as good looking as Pardas. Well. almost everything! So. do you like it?

Say: “Yes, I like it”

I just knew you would! Come on folks. let's watch the money just come pouring in! Isn't this absolutely fabulous?!

Say: “yes, its absolutely fabulous”

I just knew you would! Come on folks. let's watch the money just come pouring in! Isn't this absolutely fabulous?!

Say: “Hail”

Hello. $name. Thankyou for coming in and looking at our wares. We should have just about everything you need if you wish to take a trip.

Say: “Hail”

You tread upon sacred ground, $race. None may go further unless they [have business with the Overlord], or, if you're looking to gain favor with the heretics and need a little coin, I have a [job] for you.

Say: “business”

The Overlord only sees those he calls forward. If you have a summons from him, I will escort you and announce your arrival. If not, then forget whatever business you may have had here. If you wish an audience, then go speak to Sheltian below. He may be able to help you.....if you help him.

Say: “job”

There are many campaigns we administer from within our city, Paineel. Some of these campaigns are threatened or hindered by annoyances. One of these annoyances are the kobolds that live in the filth of a cave not far from here. Find that lair and kill as many of these beasts as you can. For every kobold molar you return, you shall be rewarded.

Say: “i wish an audience with the overlord”

The Overlord is not seeing anyone at this time. however. I may have work for you. You seem to have some experience with the kobold annoyance in the region. Are you [interested]. $name?

Say: “interested”

Then I shall give you a task. I assume you are aware of the kobold lair nearby. Many of our adventurous knights and priests crusade to destroy those pests so seeing many Erudites frequent the area is normal. However. it is not normal to see someone carry large crates into the lair and return empty handed. This person's movements also show he is attempting to remain unseen.....the [fool].

Say: “fool”

Whoever it is. obviously is not an Erudite. even though he appears to be. Only an outsider would take us to be such idiots as to fall for their pitiful attempt at disguise. Or perhaps....well. never mind that. I want you to enter the kobold lair and find these crates. Return one to me and we'll decide what to do from there.

Say: “Hail”

Salutations. I am Sadorno Chomosh, Templar of Terror. The path of terror taught to us by Cazic-Thule is a dangerous way of life. The perils are great, but the rewards are unimaginable power. In order to harness the powers of fear, you must first know that which you seek to control: terror, dread and fright. I presume that you are still young and have much to learn. If that is the case, I will assist you in acquiring [armaments] to aid you on your journey to power.

Say: “armaments”

You will require this Mail Assembly Kit that has been prepared in advance for the construction of Templar of Fright armor. The materials required for the armor's construction vary according to the section you desire to craft. When you have acquired your suit of armor, return to me and perhaps you can assist me with a [pending task]. Do you desire to craft a templar of fright [helm], a templar of fright [bracer], templar of fright [gauntlets], templar of fright [boots], templar of fright [vambraces], templar of fright [greaves], or a templar of fright [breastplate]?

Say: “boots”

To assemble Templar of Fright Boots, obtain two bricks of crude bronze and smelt them in a forge with a water flask and this crude boot mold. Then combine the crude bronze boots with two ruined kobold pelts and two kobold foot bones in the Mail Assembly Kit.

Say: “helm”

Say: “bracer”

To assemble a Templar of Fright bracer, you will need to obtain a brick of crude bronze and smelt it in a forge with a water flask and this crude bracer mold. Once that is done, combine the crude bronze bracer with a ruined kobold pelt and a kobold ulna bone in the Mail Assembly Kit.

Say: “gauntlets”

Say: “pending task”

The Tabernacle of Terror has many enemies here on Odus who oppose our teachings to our patron deity, Cazic-Thule. The priests of Prexus and Quellious in the city of Erudin seek to purge Odus of our kind, for they view us as a disgrace to the Erudite race. Behind their disdain, however, lies fear. It is this fear that allows us to prosper and become more powerful than the closed-minded fools of Erudin. In the Toxxulia Forest, you will find such a fool, a priest named Terago Omath. This priest attempts to ward the Toxxulia Forest from the presence of the undead. Seek this Terago Omath and return to me with his head.

Say: “Hail”

Shhhh....keep your voice down lest you wake Alaria. We can [speak elsewhere] if you wish.

Say: “speak elsewhere”

Follow me and we shall discuss how you may assist me with my [current research].

Say: “current research”

Recently patrols have been sent to the Stonebrunt Mountains to investigate rumors of an alliance between the Kejekans and Erudin. There is much spiritual activity in that region of Odus and the patrols have reported encountering massive beasts called Titans. These titans exhibit abilities that lead me to believe they are powerful animal spirits that have somehow taken on a physical form in order to enter and manipulate the realm of the living. I require [samples] of the Titans physiology in order to further my research.

Say: “samples”

There have been sightings of Titans in many forms. The samples I require are the fangs of the leopard, sabretooth, and gorilla titans, and the rattle of the snake titan.

Say: “hail”

I hope you have a good reason for disturbing my contemplations. Perhaps you [seek the knowledge] of those who meditate within this Temple of Fear?

Say: “I seek knowledge”

It is the secrets of Fear you seek, but first you must prove your devotion to our temple. There are pack rats within the city that have a habit of getting into things. Some of these rats have ingested a concoction developed by the necromancers of this great city. The rats have since died and, due to the concoction, their undead corpses now roam the fields. Bring me four livers from these undead rats so that we may examine them.

Say: “duties”

The primary duty of this temple is to spread terror, fright, and dread as a symbol of your devotion to our lord Cazic Thule. We are currently researching a means of summoning avatars of Fright, Terror and Dread, the primary minions of the Faceless in his home plane. Will you [assist me in summoning] the avatar of Fright?

Say: “assist”

In order to summon the avatar of Fright. I require some special components for the ritual. Fetch me the flesh of a zombie. the dust used in the process of mummification. [charred bone chips]. and a [vial of Tunare's Breath].

Say: “chips”

Some time ago a necromancer by the name of Obretl was sent to slay Rathmana Allin and his abomination of an adopted son. Ortallius. Obretl failed in his task and now haunts a small ruin in the desert of Ro cursed by Solusek to wallow in his failure in the form of a burning skeleton. Slay Obretl to free him from his pathetic existence and gather his charred remains.

Say: “vial”

Tunare's Breath is a life-giving potion created by the Fier'Dal Soldiers of Tunare. Seek out the druid Kalayia who is known to wander the Faydarks in search of reagents for potions. Procure from her a vial of Tunare's Breath. Shed her blood if need be.

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: “Hail”

Hello. $name. Feel free to peruse my wares but waste not my time with idle browsing if you do not intend to purchase something.

Say: “hail”

Unless you intend to [make yourself useful], do not bother me. I await the return of our Lord, Cazic-Thule. He comes, and I shall be the first to greet Him. I will train you, if need be, for He looks upon those who aid Him kindly. If you are not here for training, return to your meditations or bother someone else.

Say: “make myself useful”

One of our spies has reported a sighting of Malik Zaren, a courier of [the High Council]. He was seen resting at an inn called 'Golden Roosters' in High Pass Hold and is en route to Erudin Palace. He may be carrying a message containing information of great value to us. Hunt him down and return to me with the letter he carries. I will reward you for this task.

Say: “the high council”

The High Council is the governing board of Erudin, our sworn enemies. Beware of these types, they will not look upon you warmly.

Say: “Hail”

Welcome to The Abattoir fellow Cazicite. I am Shwara Volerno. Mistress of Necromancy. If you have just begun to study the Necromantic arts I will assist you with obtaining some [clothing] and a robe that will be most useful when conducting research outside of The Abattoirs walls. We members of the Abattoir are the most feared of the residents of Paineel by the citizens of Erudin. to venture too far beyond the safety of our city unprepared would be foolish.

Say: “clothing”

You will require this Curing Kit that has been specially prepared for the crafting of a suit and robe of Abattoir Initiate Clothing. The components necessary to craft the clothing vary according to the article that you desire to fabricate. Once you have been outfitted in the proper attire return to me and you may assist with some [important research]. Do you desire to fabricate an [abattoir initiate cap]. [abattoir initiate wristband]. [abattoir initiate gloves]. [abattoir initiate boots]. [abattoir initiate sleeves]. [abattoir initiate pantaloons]. or [abattoir initiate robe]?

Say: “important research”

We Cazicites of the Abattoir are the most advanced Necromancers in all of Norrath. Our greatness is due to the diligence and studiousness we apply to our research. and our powers over fear. The foolish sorcerers in Erudin are afraid of the knowledge we possess. They fear the magic we wield and control. for their minds are too weak to harness it themselves. Despite our vast knowledge there is always more to learn that can prove to be beneficial to The Abattoir. I require your assistance in obtaining some [new information].

Say: “new information”

The Abattoir has recently discovered a Kobold Spiritist that wields necromantic powers. We believe this unusual kobold resides in the Warrens of Clan Kolbok as he has been sighted entering and exiting those ruinous caverns. It is possible that this kobold has somehow acquired this necromantic knowledge from Paineel but I would not like to rule out the possibility that it is a rare form of kobold sorcery. Find this Kobold Spiritist and bring me whatever arcane parchments you discover in his possession.

Say: “Hail”

Greetings. $name. You have come to the Anthenaeum Necromanita. This place serves as the stores of knowledge for the Seekers of the [Dark Truth].

Say: “what dark truth”

The Dark Truth is what all the [necromancers] in Paineel seek to learn. The [real truth] is far more interesting.

Say: “what necromancers”

The necromancers here are called the Seekers of the Dark Truth. The leader of the Seekers is known as the Speaker of the Dark Truth. The current Speaker is Coriante Verisue. She does. however. have many [rivals].

Say: “what rivals”

I support Coriante due to my respect for her. Many have no such respect and covet her power and position. One such individual is Darton. the Seeker's Chief Researcher. He is a direct descendant of [Dartain]. a hero to our people.

Say: “who is dartain”

That is a long story indeed. $name. Many years ago. the heretics and the people of Erudin had a grand battle. During the conflicts. great magics were performed and many catastrophic effects plagued these lands. a good example of which would be the Hole.

Say: “what real truth”

The real truth is actually a theory of mine which I believe to be true. You see. the Seekers believe that necromancy is all that can be gained from the Dark Truth. whereas I believe it is merely a by-product.

Say: “Hail”

Greetings. $name. You have found the only place to purchase liquor in this fine city. It seems that many of my countrymen do not appreciate liquor as I do. Fear not if you spill. I have plenty of [skeletal servants] to clean up the mess.

Say: “what skeletal servants”

Can't you see. child? These dead servants of mine are bussing tables and dancing! They work incredibly cheaply. Heh. Don't try to harm them. though. they don't like that very much. Say. would you like to see something interesting?

Say: “Hail”

Hello. $name. I make the finest statuettes in all the land. Each one depicts a power on Norrath. I have some of the most realistic and lifelike statues. I only take [special orders] as they are rather time-consuming to make.

Say: “what special orders”

Well. if you must know. many priests and devout worshipers of Cazic-Thule purchase my statues and pray over them. I have made many other statuettes of the gods just to practice. on the off chance that a worshiper of another faith might care to order one from me.

Say: “Hail”

Hey you! You watch yourself. These items are priceless. You break it. you buy it!

Say: “Hail”

Hello there. $name. I hope you are faring well this day.

Say: “Hail”

By Cazic-Thule. I am going to kill him! If he keeps up that endless chatter.. Oh. hello there. $name. Please feel free to peruse my wares.

Say: “hail”

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 [

Say: “interesting ore”

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”

Welcome to my shop. $name. Feel free to purchase whatever you need. I am sure that I can fill those needs. as [the Seekers of the Dark Truth] generally keep me stocked and on my toes.

Say: “who are the seekers of the dark truth”

Ah. so you wish to know about the Seekers? They are the guild of necromancers here in Paineel. They are by far the most knowledgeable in the dark arts of all the known world. They purchase a good many [herbs] from me.

Say: “what herbs”

The herbs the necromancers use typically have properties useful for the preservation of dead flesh. Who knows what they use them for?
