Walk Through Part 1: Flagging

1. Speak to the Inspector of Lords in your Faction Stronghold.
   • Celestial Hand - Philonius Porbandar
   • Eldrytch Web - ??
   • Radiant Blood - Gamri Nightshade
2. From Eastwatch head north to the Blighted Verdant Moarsman Tunnels at 92.7N 42.3W.
3. From the portal drop, take all lefts until you reach the Moarsmen Priory (180+) portal (its not far).
4. Once inside the Priory you'll first come to an octagon shaped bridge, go west (north and south loop around to the pit below the bridges). Continue until you come to a large room with ramps dropping down to a basin with an altar in the middle. A floor lever in the middle opens a door in the middle of the north wall. (The two locked doors on the east wall and south wall also lead to the final room but don't save any time, see map.)
5. Once you've opened the door go north you'll soon come to another large room with two Surface portals, do not go in any of them, go to the southeast corner of the room and a tunnel leads out of the the room, stick left until you come to a very large room, back up up and stay in the hallway, killing Moarsmen until Prior Kothmox comes up, he drops Kothmox's Staff.
6. Return to Inspector of Lords in the Faction Stronghold and talk to him to flag for Part 2.

• Note: Prior Kothmox is surrounded by a large number of moarsman, and there is only one way in and out. The spawn is relatively slow, so its best to clear the room before fighting Prior Kothmox. Proceed with caution.
• Note: From the time you loot Kothmox's Staff, you have 1 hour to complete Part 2 of the lord test. If you fail, you must obtain the staff again.

Walk Through Part 2: The Riddle

The second part of the quest is slightly different for each faction. The Lord Advancement NPC will ask you to bring him a specific item from this quest, which is different for each society (items listed below).

1. Depending on the (time of day??) there will be a statue at 88.0S 55.5W west of The Pit of Heretics or east at 88.0S 54.5W, or there may be no statue at all (will have to wait for one to appear). Each statue is surrounded by 3 Coral Hollows.
2. Talk to the statue and it will give you a math riddle. Solve the problem and click on the appropriate coral. Now you are flagged to enter a portal in the side of the wall of the main temple structure (portal looks like a door).
   • Brood Mother's Reckoning - Each person gets a different riddle, if you answer incorrectly you will be portaled into the pit in the temple where you should quickly recall (use a gem if you have one) to avoid dying. You will then have to go obtain another staff, talk to the NPC again, then run back to the statue for another attempt.
3. Once you solve the riddle, use the corresponding Coral Hollow that matches your answer. You can ID the Coral Hollows to see the answers they represent. If you're correct, a Temple Door (portal) will spawn at the temple @ 87.9S, 55.2W.
4. Use the Temple Door quickly, it expires after 5 minutes.

Walk Throuh Part 3: Moarsman Gateway Temple

• Once in the Temple, jump down and follow the ramps/jumps (East/West) down until you come to a room with a Blind Keeper.
• Kill the Blind Keeper, but be careful, it spawns Listris Sleeches randomly nearby.
• Once dead, a Gate Watcher will spawn, kill it.
• Once you've killed him, loot the appropriate item required by your society:
  • Radiant Blood - Blood of T'thuun
  • Celestial Hand - Amulet of T'thuun
  • Eldrytch Web - Dagger of T'thuun
• Once you have the required item, return to your Lord Advancement NPC and hand it to them to complete the test.
• You can now access Moarsman City (Nyr'leha) by using the same statue you got the riddle from, using the statue now portals you to 90.8S 52.9W on the island.

Dialogue

The statues eyes appear to grow and encompass all that you see. They peer into your mind.
Statue tells you, "In the Dark Season, 343 spawn were set forth into the pools to be blessed by the Whispering One. During the Dark Season when the spawns were set forth, 5 spawn out of every 7 spawn that were set into the pools were weak and destroyed by their siblings. Of those strong spawn that survived, for every 7 spawn that remained in the pools, the Whispering One demanded 4 be sacrificed to his glory."
Statue tells you, "Know how many spawn survived and you will know where the staff must be placed."
Statue gives you Brood Mother's Reckoning

Radiant Blood

Gamri tilts her head and appraises the Moarsman Prior's staff.
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "Well done, Knight. I presume you believe the staff holds the key to entering the temple. Now gain access to the temple on the Southern Shores, south-east of Candeth Keep and bring me the Blood of T'thuun."

---

You give Gamri Nightshade Blood of T'thuun.
Gamri takes the bottle and places it in a silk lined box engraved with protective runes.
Gamri clasps your hand and a deep warmth creeps up your arm and grips your heart. A euphoric calm suffuses your tired frame.
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "Very good, brother. Our Mistress will be most pleased. She will divine much from the blood in this bottle."
Gamri Nightshade tells you, "You have earned your Lordship, see the Promotions Officer and receive your well earned rewards."

Celestial Hand

Philonius Porbandar tells you, "The Commendations Officer told me you were coming. My name is Philonius Porbandar, Inspector of Lords for the Celestial Hand. I have an important mission for you."
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "Our researchers have discovered the existence of a Moarsman relic called the Amulet of T'thuun. This relic may hold the answers to some important questions about T'thuun."
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "We believe the relic is being held within a temple on the Southern Shores of the Direlands. Moarsmen have been seen visiting the temple regularly, but one in particular, a Moarsman Prior, seems to hold some means of entering the temple."
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "This Moarsman Prior has been tracked to a Keep near Eastwatch on the North East Halaetan Isles. Your mission is to find this Moarsman and learn his secret to entering the Temple."
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "Once you discover his secret travel to the Temple, south east of Candeth Keep, and find the Amulet of T'thuun. Return to me with the amulet and your mission will be complete."

Philonius Porbandar tells you, "Ah, the Moarsman Prior dropped a staff? Perhaps that holds the secret to the Temple. Go to the temple on the Southern Shores, south-east of Candeth Keep, and try to gain entry."

Statue gives you Brood Mother's Reckoning.
Statue tells you, "In the Dark Season, 585 spawn were set forth into the pools to be blessed by the Whispering One. During the Dark Season when the spawns were set forth, 2 spawn out of every 5 spawn that were set into the pools were weak and destroyed by their siblings. Of those strong spawn that survived, for every 3 spawn that remained in the pools, the Whispering One demanded 2 be sacrificed to his glory."
Statue tells you, "Know how many spawn survived and you will know where the staff must be placed."

You hand over all of your Kothmox's Staffs.
Kothmox's staff fits into the hollow with a click. The staff glows brightly and a beam of light flashes out and hits the west side of the temple, revealing a door there.

Philonius Porbandar clasps his hands in expectation.
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "Might I assume that you found the Amulet of T'thuun?"
You give Philonius Porbandar Amulet of T'thuun.
Philonius Porbandar wraps the amulet in a piece of cloth and places it in a bag.
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "Well done Knight. I must turn this over to our researchers. They are very eager to study the amulet."
Philonius Porbandar tells you, "Go to the Promotions Officer now. You have completed your mission and passed the test of Lordship. You will be a worthy addition to the Lords of the Celestial Hand."

Promotions Officer tells you, "Congratulations, you have completed the tests of the Lord within our Society. You have been an amazing asset to us, and deserve all of the accolades due to one of your station."
Promotions Officer tells you, "Now, it is time to honor you as you deserve. Kneel."
Promotions Officer gives you 10 Celestial Hand Trade Tokens.
You've earned 680,803,762 experience.
Promotions Officer tells you, "For honor, bravery, and service to our great Society, I do declare you a Lord of our Society. May the Glory of our Society show through in your actions and deeds."
The Promotions Officer declares in a loud, clear voice, "Let all within the Stronghold know that Tlosk has achieved the Rank of Lord within our great Society."
Promotions Officer tells you, "And, as you have not previously achieved this Rank in any Society, I have something extra for you as well."
Promotions Officer gives you Lord's Treasure Key.
