== Overview ==
Investigate possible ley line disruptions caused by [[Lord Rytheran]] at the behest of one of two societies for Major Life Magic and Major Magic Resist Headpiece. Very important lore developments for the observant.

* There are two starting NPCs that are affiliated with the Celestial Hand and Radiant Blood socities. The NPC you start with has no long term impact on joining a [[Society]]. The [[Eldrytch Web]] and their leader of sorts, Lord Rytheran, are actually part of the disturbance.

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
# Travel to [[Graveyard]] and enter the [[Gardens of Menilesh]] at 64.7S, 43.8W.
# You have a choice at this point, you can either assist Rytheran for the rewards, or you can kill Rytheran and take them. You will also receive additional loot.

=== Fellowship: Defeating Lord Rytheran ===
# Attack and defeat Lord Rytheran.
#* {{Warning}} Do not try to vuln or imperil him as he will counter-buff.
# Once you've defeated him, loot {{Itemlink|Engraved Ashen Key}}.
# Use the key on one of the [[Lord of Menilesh's Engraved Chest]]s and loot your item rewards.
# Go back to [[Wai Jhou]] and give the Mnemosyne to the NPC you originally talked to for the experience reward.
# {{Optional}} If you don't want the Visage, you can hand it in for additional XP.

=== Solo: Assisting Lord Rytheran ===
# Speak to [[Lord Rytheran]] at the start, he will instruct you to retrieve a ring.
# Not far from the start is a [[Strange Pillar]]. When used it summons many moarsmen and undead.
#* Note: This pillar also has a role in another quest, [[Jester Focuses]].
# From the drop, go down several levels, coming to a room with the [[Strange Pillar]] in the middle. Go west, up the ramp and south, stick left and you'll come to a large room with the {{Itemlink|Ring of Remembrance}} on the floor in the middle.
#* {{Tip}} The dungeon forms a large circle, so you can go left or right and both lead to the large room with the ring.
# Return to [[Lord Rytheran]] at the start and give him the ring for your item rewards.
# Go back to [[Wai Jhou]] and give the Mnemosyne to the NPC you originally talked to for the experience reward.
# {{Optional}} If you don't want the Visage, you can hand it in for additional XP.

Notes
* Lord Rytheran, when killed, takes about 8–10 minutes to respawn.
* If you choose to kill Lord Rytheran, [[Lady Aerfalle (Disturbance in the Ley Lines NPC)|Lady Aerfalle]] briefly appears after he dies.

== Dialog ==
=== Opening Dialog ===
:Zho Heishan tells you, "Excellent, perhaps you can help me.  My superiors seek some knowledge of the troubles affecting the ley lines of Dereth, and the problem seems to trace back to Rytheran, the ancient Dericostian noble.  We have become aware that a path into Rytheran's current abode within the ruined Gardens of Menilesh has opened somewhere in the Empyrean Graveyard."
:Zho Heishan tells you, "Find a way to seek out Rytheran and see if you can retrieve his personal mnemosyne...  We need access to his memories about the reading of the Book of Eibhil. It may not be necessary to destroy the undead lord, but merely to attain his cooperation."


:Lacarra Avanthi tells you, "You may be worth my time... My masters have determined that the dusty, deposed Lord Rytheran is the source of our current troubles with ley lines.  If you would make yourself useful to us and to all the humans of Dereth, seek him out in his garden sanctuary."
:Lacarra Avanthi tells you, "There is a portal to these gardens located in the midst of the Empyrean Graveyard.  We need a mnemosyne from Rytheran, bearing... vital information about a book he once held.  Take it from him, by force or coercion, and bring it to me.  You will be well rewarded."

=== Lord Rytheran ===
:Lord Rytheran tells you, "Ah, you seek my mnemosyne, do you not?  My memories of that long-ago day when I read from the book... Your masters desire it so that they may meddle in this affair and save their fragile settlements from the depredation of the Blight.  Well enough.  I will give you the mnemosyne you seek if you do something for me..."
:Lord Rytheran tells you, "In the ancient garden below, my followers have gone mad, forgotten themselves and their allegiance to me.  Regrettably, they had something that is dear to me in their possession when they lost their minds.  A ring of some... sentimental value.  Find that ring, and bring it to me.  I will give you the mnemosyne you seek when you bring me the ring.  You will have to kill me to get the mnemosyne otherwise, and I can already see you lack the power and the will to do that."

=== Defeating Lord Rytheran ===
:You bring Lord Rytheran to a fiery end!
:As Rytheran's battered bones collapse under the force of your assault, the undead lord's skeletal face seems to break into a bitter grin.
:Lord Rytheran says, "Fool! Are you truly willing to risk my eternal enmity, and the wrath of the formidable legions that serve me?  Even if my memories fail me, the Web will remember..."
:A wind blows through the chamber, and the scattering of bones that was once Lord Rytheran of Menilesh vanishes.  Another presence appears in the center of the room...
:Lady Aerfalle says, "My poor Rytheran, what have you done to yourself?  What perils were unleashed by your dabbling with that accursed book?  I am here now, and I will not let these mortal vermin sully your remains..."

=== Giving Ring of Remembrance to Lord Rytheran ===
:You give Lord Rytheran Ring of Remembrance.
:Lord Rytheran tells you, "Ah, a keepsake from my lady love... At last, a memory that will bring me some warmth in this eternal darkness.  Take this mnemosyne, and my mask of office... And go.  Leave me to my memories."
:Lord Rytheran gives you Rytheran's Mnemosyne.
:Lord Rytheran gives you Visage of Menilesh.

=== Giving Rytheran's Mnemosyne to Zho Heishan ===
:You give Zho Heishan Rytheran's Mnemosyne.
:You've earned 297,235,856 experience.
:Zho Heishan tells you, "Amazing!  You actually convinced Rytheran to part with his precious memory of the Book of Eibhil?  I do not know what you had to do to accomplish it, and perhaps that is for the best.  You have my thanks, and the thanks of the realm of Dereth for the good you have done here.  These memories will be invaluable in helping us solve the mess that Rytheran and that book created."

=== Giving Visage of Menilesh to Zho Heishan ===
:You give Zho Heishan Visage of Menilesh.
:Zho Heishan tells you, "This mask is... breathtaking.  It once belonged to Lord Rytheran himself?  Truly a precious artifact.  If you do not want it, I can grant you some practical experience for it."
:You've earned 49,539,309 experience.

=== Giving Rytheran's Mnemosyne to Lacarra Avanthi ===
:You give Lacarra Avanthi Rytheran's Mnemosyne.
:You've earned 297,235,856 experience.
:Lacara Avanthi tells you, "Well done!  I will not ask how you got this artifact from the hoary old tyrant.  But this should contain the information we need to find out what Rytheran did wrong, and what we can do to stop what he has unleashed..."

=== Other Interactions ===
==== Using Strange Pillar ====
:The pillars surface feels cold and oily. A horrible taste blooms in your mouth and you hear a whispering voice. You realize the voice is coming from your own mouth, whispering words in a language you don't understand.

==== Showing Rytheran's Mnemosyne to Lord Rytheran ====
:You allow Lord Rytheran to examine your Rytheran's Mnemosyne.
:Lord Rytheran tells you, "I do not want this any more.  The memories are too foul and terrible.  Better that I forget.  Bring it to your masters, who would surely find it illuminating."

:Lord Rytheran tells you, "You have the mnemosyne your masters seek.  Be off with you and bring it back to them.  I find I take little pleasure in the stink of your sweat or the sound of your beating heart."

==== Speaking with a quest NPC after helping the other ====
:Zho Heishan tells you, "You cannot fool me.  You've already sought out Rytheran on Nuhmudira's behalf.  Be careful of your associations.  The blood witch is treacherous and would think nothing of sacrificing you for her own ends.  I am afraid I can have no dealings with you."

:Lacarra Avanthi tells you, "I can already tell that you've helped that groveling fool Heishan with this matter of Rytheran.  Beware of the time when you are forced to choose between your own kind and the Empyreans who would enslave us all."
