Dialog Edit

Opening Dialog

Jondor Torgren tells you, "Perhaps you could help a simple scholar... I've been told that strange landscape formations have appeared around the Empyrean graveyard, and that scouts from mysterious new secret societies have taken up positions at these sites. There are scouts at these formations to the north, east, and west of the graveyard."

Jondor Torgren tells you, "I would be most indebted to you if you could somehow gain the trust of these scouts and bring me whatever written materials you can about the beliefs that their societies espouse. I would reward you with a bit of practical knowledge for any manifestoes that you could bring me. I have also heard that there are more senior representatives of each society in Ayan Baqur, but I doubt they'll talk to you until you've won the confidence of the scouts by the graveyard. Good luck! And be careful about straying into the graveyard itself!"

Kousu Temo (Eldrytch Web)

Kousu Temo tells you, "Ah, so that curious Arcanum scholar sent you. I would be willing to give you the knowledge you seek on his behalf, if you would simply retrieve an artifact for me from this infected pit here before us..."

Kousu Temo tells you, "In that crypt below, there is a chest that contains an ancient scepter. The scepter is an artifact that is of some interest to my superiors. Find the key among those creatures milling about in the pit, unlock the chest, and bring me the scepter. That will prove you worthy, and I will write you a letter of introduction to bring to my commander."

Completing Task

You give Kousu Temo Scepter of Menilesh.

Kousu Temo tells you, "Ah, the ancient scepter of Menilesh... Barely recognizable under the dust and decay of the millennia. Still, my masters will be pleased to see that I have recovered it. I will reward you with some practical knowledge. I will also give you a letter of introduction to bring to my commander, Qurakh al-Taal in Ayan Baqur. In time, you may prove yourself worthy of the Eldrytch Web..."

Perhaps, in time, you can join the Eldrytch Web and do your part to bring those glories back to Dereth, from the ruins and forgotten memories of the present day. We are not accepting new members now, but your assistance in this matter has been noted, and will not be forgotten. We will watch you with interest from this day forward. For now, perhaps you would wish to look through this book and learn some more about the Eldrytch Web."

Qurakh al-Taal gives you Canon of the Eldrytch Web.

Candrus Steady-Hand (Celestial Hand)

Candrus Steady-Hand tells you, "Old Jondor sent you looking for me, eh? I have little to hide, and perhaps you would some day be a worthy compatriot in our service, but first I think you must prove your mettle, for we all face dangerous times. Down in this strange pit is a nest of revenants, foul even by the standards of the undead. These Blight Spirits are a symptom of the disease that is spreading across our beloved Dereth! Slay eight of them for me and I will write you a letter of introduction to bring to my superior."

Completing Task

Candrus Steady-Hand tells you, "Excellent work! You have served Dereth well today, slaying those tainted spirits and freeing their corrupted energies to the mana streams once more. Allow me to reward you with some practical knowledge. I should also give you a letter of introduction to bring to my commander, Joku Shunja in Ayan Baqur. Some time in the future, you may find yourself joining the Celestial Hand in defense of the realm..."

A spirit as noble as yours may one day find welcome in the ranks of the Celestial Hand, who act to defend all the inhabitants of Dereth from the ancient evils that besiege it. We are not accepting new members at the moment, but we have taken notice of you. For now, allow me to present you with a book on the principles that guide our actions as a group."

Joku Shunja gives you Principles of the Celestial Hand.

Jawaq ibn Janath (Radiant Blood)

Down in this pit nearby is a foul, diseased creature known as a Blight Lictor. It is a symptom of the contamination that is creeping across this land. Bring its head to me and I will give you a letter of introduction that you can present to my field commander."

Completing Task

You give Jawaq ibn Janath Blight Lictor's Head.

Well, if you did what he could not, perhaps, in time, you may be useful to me. The Radiant Blood is not accepting more members yet, but we may in the not-too-distant future... Suffice it to say you have been noticed, and may be watched. For now, allow me to present you with a book on the tenets of our society to see if your heart belongs with us."
