== Walk Through ==
'''Note:''' It doesn't matter which NPC you start at, but [[Yaraq]] has the closest portals. 

# To begin, speak with one of the three NPCs that start the quest:
#* [[Bhravarn ibn Salizim]] - 21.5S, 1.6W ([[Yaraq]])
#* [[Turien di Furza]] - 71.9N, 61.2W ([[Sanamar]])
#* [[Lucari di Bellenesse]] - 87.3N, 70.5W ([[Silyun]])
# Enter the [[Cave of the Escaped Thief]] at 71.1N, 50.2W (near the [[Beach Fort]]).
#* '''Tip:''' From [[Mayoi]] run to the Lady Maila Estates Portal at 60.9S, 80.3E.
# Hug the left wall to the bottom of the dungeon until you reach an [[Escaped Thief]] surrounded by 4 [[Abhorrent Eater]]s.  
# Kill the thief and loot [[The Sword of Bellenesse]]. 
# Return the sword to the NPC of your choice for a reward:
#* [[Bhravarn ibn Salizim]] - [[Replica Sword of Bellenesse]]
#* [[Lucari di Bellenesse]] - [[Shield of Silyun]]
#* [[Turien di Furza]] - [[Shield of Sanamar]]

== Tips ==
The cave is full of high-level grievvers ([[Bane Grievver]]s and higher), but they are fairly well separated and can be picked off one-by-one for the most part. Because it also has a quick--but manageable--respawn rate and there is no level requirement for entry, this is one of the best places in the game for any level to get a [[Vial of Organic Acid]] for the [[Mage Armor]] quest.

Bhravarn ibn Salizim tells you, "Salutations, friend."
<br>
Bhravarn ibn Salizim tells you, "I wonder if you could aid me in a piece of research, for which you will be well rewarded.  Recently, a sword was stolen from the Vaults of Sanamar, the Sword of Bellenesse.  It is reported to be one of the most exquisite pieces of Viamontian Weaponsmithing of its time."
<br>
Bhravarn ibn Salizim tells you, "Rumor has it that the thief is hiding in a cave around 71.1 N, 50.2 W.  If you could get this weapon so that I could study it, I will reward you well for your time."
<br>
Bhravarn ibn Salizim tells you, "Have a care, however.  If you choose to aid me in this, you will have to find the blade before the agents of Sanamar or Silyun do so.  I do not wish to get in the middle of their feud, and would not wish for you to be needlessly caught in it either.  All I wish is a chance to learn from the blade."

<font color=darkgoldenrod>
Lucari di Bellenesse tells you, "Greetings to you, friend."
<br>
Lucari di Bellenesse tells you, "I have heard reports that a sword has been stolen from the Vaults of Sanamar, and that the thief is hiding in a cave near 71.1 N, 50.2 W.  If the reports are to be believed, the weapon is the very Sword of Bellenesse, lost in our coming to Dereth from Viamont."
<br>
Lucari di Bellenesse tells you, "We have not the resources to confirm this rumor, but, if you would be interested in checking out this rumor for Silyun, I can provide something in reward for this."
<br>
Lucari di Bellenesse tells you, "Go to the cave, find this thief.  If he has the blade on him, and you'll know it if you see it, it is hard to miss, bring it to me.  If this is truly the Sword of Bellenesse, all Silyun will be in your debt."
<br>
Lucari di Bellenesse tells you, "Be warned, agents of Varicci will also be seeking to return this blade to the Vaults of Sanamar.  Also, I have heard rumor that someone in Yaraq also seeks the blade.  The blade is the rightful property of the Duke Bellenesse.  I hope, if you manage to find it before others do so, that you will return it to Silyun, so it may be returned to its rightful owner."

<font color=darkgoldenrod>
Turien Di Furza tells you, "Greetings"
<br>
Turien Di Furza tells you, "I have been authorized to offer rewards to anyone who can return the blade that was stolen from the Vaults of Sanamar.  The blade is gold in color, and bears the markings of the Bellenesse family."
<br>
Turien Di Furza tells you, "The craven thief was last sighted near a cave at 71.1 N, 50.2 W and is believed to be hiding within.  Find the thief, do justice upon him, and return this blade that was wrongly taken from this Kingdom."
<br>
Turien Di Furza tells you, "Bring the blade to me, and your loyalty will be rewarded.  Be warned, however.  I have heard that both Silyun and some Bloodless in Yaraq also seek this blade.  They must not be allowed to gain that which is rightfully Sanamar's."
