Editing The Shard of the Herald (section)

== Summary ==
* The [[Shard of the Herald]] was the last of the [[Soul Crystals]] imprisoning the Hopeslayer [[Bael'Zharon]].
* Players attack the Undead forces surrounding [[Ithaenc Cathedral]] and kill the Sand King [[Anadil of Shakrassekor]]. Anadil carried a [[Campaign Journal|journal]] with information describing how to access the Catacombs using a key that he broke into three pieces.
* Anadil's spymaster [[Asmolum the Worm]] is also killed, he drops an ancient key, his throwing daggers and a damp scroll.
* The [[Chalicmere Legion Commander]], who is found in the [[Camp of the Latzimestal]], drops the first piece to the key.
* [[Aerfalle]] appears west of the camp (83.2S, 91.0E) in the middle of some praying/meditating Undead. She is defeated and drops another part to the silver key.
* After discovering the third part to the key was stolen by the Shadows at the [[72.8S, 97.6E - Undead Skytower|perimeter]] defences, players proceed to kill various Shadows. A portal (level 1-25) is summoned by a Shadow Child on death leading to [[Savao Island]]. A [[Shadow Governess]] is found on the small island and is killed. She drops the third and final part to the key.
* After players retrieve the three pieces to the key, they use it on [[Kelderam's Tomb]] in the cathedral and the key disappears and turns into a [[Kelderam's Path|portal gem]]. The gem summons a PK restricted portal to the catacombs of [[Ithaenc Cathedral]] where the shard is kept.
* Many battles are fought between players defending and those attacking the crystal, but on most servers the shard is quickly destroyed.
