Lore & Dialog

Dizah ibn Nadqab tells you, "While excavating this site, I inadvertently awakened the undead that rest here. I was able to escape the dungeon with my life, but before doing so I found a large audience chamber with treasure."
Dizah ibn Nadqab tells you, "Offer me any trade note worth 5000 pyreals and I'll give you access to the dungeon. In return, you can keep anything you find in there. I can use the trade note to further my investigation in this site."
Dizah ibn Nadqab tells you, "From what I was able to uncover so far, I believe this area was once a place used by powerful Gharu'ndim War Mages. Any relics you find may be difficult for you to use. Yet, perhaps you will be able to understand what I could not. You can't go down there if you're not level 20, in fact I wouldn't go down there if I were you. Just forget the whole thing, you're better off that way."


You give Dizah ibn Nadqab Trade Note (5,000).
Dizah ibn Nadqab tells you, "I take this with gratitude. I'll open the door for you, but be warned, this is a risky venture. If you should fail, you will return to this place outside of the sealed tower...And I give no refunds."
Dizah ibn Nadqab says, "Oh, if you find something of interest I might be able to identify it for you."
Dizah ibn Nadqab says, "You should hurry. I'll close the door for you in a minute."

Dizah ibn Nadqab gives you Broken Staff.


You give Roderick Broken Staff.
Roderick tells you, "Alright...Umm...Harlune told me how to do this..."`

The warrior takes a scroll out and silently reads it. Suddenly, his eyes start to glow and his voice changes.
Roderick tells you, "What are you bothering me for? More imbeciles asking to have that staff repaired? Fine. Here, just go away afterward!"
Roderick gives you Impious Staff.
You've earned 10,300,000 experience.
