Dialog

Opening Dialog

Dizah ibn Nadqab tells you, "While excavating this site, I inadvertently awakened the undead that rest here. I was able to escape the dungeon with my life, but before doing so I found a large audience chamber with treasure."

Dizah ibn Nadqab tells you, "Offer me any trade note worth 5000 pyreals and I'll give you access to the dungeon. In return, you can keep anything you find in there. I can use the trade note to further my investigation in this site."

Dizah ibn Nadqab tells you, "From what I was able to uncover so far, I believe this area was once a place used by powerful Gharu'ndim War Mages. Any relics you find may be difficult for you to use. Yet, perhaps you will be able to understand what I could not. You can't go down there if you're not level 20, in fact I wouldn't go down there if I were you. Just forget the whole thing, you're better off that way."
