== Quest Overview ==
== Overview ==
Originally, this was a quest that involved one of the discovered [[Soul Crystals]] that imprisoned [[Bael'Zharon]]. Unlike with the [[Fenmalain Vestibule]], Caulnalain was secured by the Shadow forces. However, the Shadows failed to protect the crystal from Isparian attack and it was destroyed. On its corpse were Soul Gems that were used to create unique crystal items. It has since been replaced with a weaker replica that drops less powerful gems.
Quest to destroy a replica of the powerful [[Caulnalain Soul Crystal|Soul Crystal]] that was once found in the Caulnalain Chamber.

;Prerequisites
* Retrieve a {{Itemlink|Caulnalain Key}} as a trophy from [[Shadow Lieutenant]]s, [[Sinister Shadow]]s and [[Lesser Void Knight]]s. You can find Lieutenants in the Caulnalain dungeon itself.

;Opening Dialog, Gerloc
|Gerloc the Defender tells you, "Greetings. My siblings and I traveled here seeking gems of great power. I hear that there are some master armorers who craft suits of armor from fused gems. Those are beneath my notice. Bring me something even more powerful than a scintillating gem, and I will craft a great and unique shield for you. If you have one of my old shields, I will improve it for you."
 
;Opening Dialog, Gersan
|Gersan the Sureshot tells you, "If you can find a gem more powerful than a mere scintillating gem, I would be interested in it. Give me such a gem and I will use it to craft a magical bow for you. The bow will be so powerful, in fact, that normal ammunition will not work on it. You will have to come to me for arrowheads as well. If you have one my old missile weapons, I will improve it for you."
|Gersan the Sureshot tells you, "I am not a crossbow maker, however, so if you need a crossbow you will have to attach a stock to the bow yourself."
 
;Opening Dialog, Gervena
|Gervena the Oblique tells you, "I have heard of powerful gems, more powerful than the mediocre gems you bring to those so-called master smiths. If I had such a gem, I could make a powerful spell-casting orb with unique properties."
