== Quest Overview ==
This quest requires Lockpicking skill to complete.
 
For each person that wants to loot the rewards chest, you will need to obtain a [[Gelidite Standing Stone Translation]]. Note that the translation is givable, so it is possible for the quest leader to acquire multiple copies using multiple characters ahead of time.

# Obtain a [[Seal]] from undead such as [[Lich Lord]]s and [[Revenant]]s.
# Go to [[Bandit Castle]].
# Head to the nearby [[Bandit Castle Standing Stone]] at 66.1N, 51.4E.
# Use the Seal to unlock the standing stone and pick up the [[Bandit Rune Transcription]]. The nearby [[Hasty Note]] will lead you to Neydisa.
# Go to [[Neydisa Castle]].
# Head to the nearby [[Neydisa Castle Standing Stone]] at 69.2N, 15.3E.
# Open the standing stone and pick up the [[Neydisa Rune Transcription]]. The nearby [[Brief Note]] will lead you to Stonehold.
# Go to [[Stonehold]].
# Head to the nearby [[Stonehold Standing Stone]] at 72.0N, 22.0W.
# Open the standing stone and pick up the [[Stonehold Rune Transcription]]. The nearby [[Quick Note]] will hint at combining the transcriptions.
#  Use the [[Bandit Rune Transcription]] on the [[Neydisa Rune Transcription]] to create the [[Partial Rune Transcription]]. Use the [[Stonehold Rune Transcription]] on the [[Partial Rune Transcription]] to create the [[Complete Rune Transcription]].
# Bring the [[Complete Rune Transcription]] to [[Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator]] in [[Zaikhal]] to obtain the [[Gelidite Standing Stone Translation]]. You are now ready to venture in to Frore.


To begin you will need to collect a [[Seal]]. Each person in your party that wants the reward items will need a Seal. The [[Halls of Metos]] are good dungeons to gather seals in, or they can also be won in high stakes gambling. When you have collected your seals, head out to [[Bandit Castle]]. From the castle, head east up the side of a nearby mountain.
=== Lost City of Frore ===

# With [[Gelidite Standing Stone Translation]]s in hand, go to [[Plateau Village]].
Each person must use their [[Seal]] to unlock the Standing Stone and acquire the [[Bandit Rune Transcription]]. Its burden value when holding a transcription is 9025. When everyone has the transcription, the [[Hasty Note]] on the ground will hint at the Tremblant Party's next move: [[Neydisa Castle]]. When you reach Neydisa head west atop a small snowcapped hill.
# Present your translation to [[Mairisa bint Fuda]] at 13.9N, 0.1E. She will give you the [[Gelidite Treasure Key]] and summon a portal to the top of the peak outside the Mountain Cavern.

Do not take the portal if you have not turned yours in yet. Please allow Mairisa enough time to complete her interactions with each player before handing in translations. When everyone has their key, take the summoned portal.
Everyone will need to take the [[Neydisa Rune Transcription]] from the Standing Stone. However, only the first stone at Bandit Castle is locked and requires a seal. When everyone is done, the [[Brief Note]] will direct you to [[Stonehold]]. When you reach Stonehold, head north then northwest, past the Giant Snowman, to the final standing stone.
# Enter the [[Mountain Cavern]].
:'''72.0N, 22.0W - [[Stonehold Standing Stone]]
# Following the map, proceed to the Lost City of Frore portal. Note that the first area is a repetitive maze and can be easy to get lost in. You will need lockpick to advance passed the resistance 162 door. To open the lever doors, one must step on the three pressure plates that are found at the center of the three standing stone rings found in three larger cave chambers, located after the maze and before the city.
When everyone has looted the [[Stonehold Rune Transcription]], you can head to [[Zaikhal]]. The rune transcriptions must now be combined in the correct order: Use the Bandit Rune Transcription on the Neydisa Rune Transcription to create the [[Partial Rune Transcription]]. Then use the Stonehold Rune Transcription on the Partial Rune Transcription to create the [[Complete Rune Transcription]]. It is now ready to be translated.

Give  Kuyiza the transcription. She will give you the [[Gelidite Standing Stone Translation]] and direct you to a Planar Mage in [[Plateau Village]].
# Following the map, proceed to the end. The rewards chest is under a beam of light in the room just prior to the old crystal chamber. Clear the room and loot the chest for the [[Gelidite Robe]], [[Hammer of Frore]], and [[Ice Heaume of Frore]]. If you are with a group make sure to completely empty it.
:'''44.4N, 43.4W - [[Mairisa bint Fuda]] (Plateau Village)
Turn your translation over to Mairisa. She will give you the [[Gelidite Treasure Key]] and summon a portal to the location written in the translation. Each member of your party will need to turn in their translation to gain a key. Mairisa will summon a portal each time. At the other side of the portal, you will find yourself dropped atop a steep hill near Mount Esper. A few [[Ice Golem]]s will be there to greet you. When everyone is ready, enter the portal in front of you.
:'''[[Mountain Cavern]] - [http://www.acmaps.com/map.php?id=015D ACMaps]
The first section of the Mountain Cavern is looping, braided section of cave. Sticking to the northern halls will get you through. When you are past the maze, you will come to three chambers, each lower than the previous. Keep following down and you will reach the first part of the city. You will come to a locked door (resistance: 162). After picking this door, there is a series of three doors that must be opened by other means. You have two options:
* If you are in a group, entering the nearby magical portal will open the door and send the portal user back to the three chambers. This can be repeated to open all the doors, and member of the group can hold the doors open for the portalers.
* If you are alone or in a small group, have one person run back to the three chambers. In each chamber is a ring of standing stones. In the center of the standing stones are pressure plates. Running through each ring fast enough will open all the doors and allow for enough time to make it through them all.
When you have passed the lever doors you will come to the portal to the next area.
:'''[[Lost City of Frore]] - [http://acmaps.com/map.php?id=0138 ACMaps]
The city of Frore is fairly easy to navigate. Right after the first room there will be a small pit to jump into. If you are skilled enough to jump back out of a pit of this depth you can skip the first area of the city by taking a left in the tunnels ahead. If you are not, take a right. In the first area of the city there is one lever you will have to pull to move on. It is located on the second floor across the bridges. The second area is simple - you just want to take the only hallway leading up. If you took the shortcut jump before, you will end up in the third area. Simply head north, and at the northern end of the chamber head east. This will lead you to the final room. Clear the room of the golems and Gelidites and each person can use their treasure key to loot the chest. If you wish to, you take the hall next to the chest to visit the room that once held [[The Great Work]]. It now contains several larger crystal fragment creatures.
