Walk Through

1. Go to Zaikhal and speak to Danira the Dusty at 13.9N, 0.1E, she tells you to retrieve a Master Seal in the Graveyard at 65.6S, 43.9W.
2. Head to the Graveyard, once there, clear your way to the crypt located at 65.6S, 43.9W, once inside you should see an ancient chest, open it and take the Rytheran's Master Seal (13 day pick-up timer).
3. From here, you must take the Master Seal to the statue located outside the mage academy, the fastest route here would be to take the Neydisa Castle portal in the south wing of the Town Network and run to the Master's Sentinel statue located at 74.7N, 18.4E. Once there, hand the Master's Sentinel statue your Rytheran's Master Seal and it will teleport you to the dungeon (the drop is safe).
   • Note: Once you have handed the Master's Sentinel your Rytheran's Master Seal, you are flagged to re-enter the dungeon (if repeating you do not need to get another seal, you're still flagged for entry). If you use the surface portal or tie to it, you can recall should you die (use the statue instead of handing seal to get back in).
4. Once inside Lord Rytheran's Private Sanctum, the drop is safe so make sure you are buffed and have a fire weapon buffed as you will encounter numerous undead in this dungeon. When ready, proceed north and then east through the dungeon and you will come upon Imperial Guards and Imperial Archivists, kill them and continue on until you come upon a room with a 3-way split, to the north and south you will find locked cloister doors and to the east you will find a locked Lord's Sanctum door.
5. First, head to the north, upon clearing your way through you will find a spot with a monster named Majordomo of the North Cloister, kill it and retrieve the North Cloister Key (no timer), use this on the nearby locked northern cloister door.
6. Continue on and you will encounter many Blood Priestesses, they will spam level 7 acid attacks and drain your health and mana quite a bit, kill them and move on. Eventually you will come to an open room with 3 priestesses and some pillars and bookshelves, once you clear the room, on the eastern side on the floor near one of the pillars you will find the North Cloister Key Half (no timer), pick it up and head back to the 3-way split room again.
7. Proceed to the south clearing the Imperial Guards and Imperial Archivists along the way until you locate the Majordomo of the South Cloister, kill it and retrieve the South Cloister Key (no timer), use this on the nearby locked southern cloister door.
8. Continue on through the door and you will encounter many Celestial Illuminators, kill them and proceed through again until you come to another open room with pillars and bookshelves, kill the 3 illuminators in here and on the southern side of the room, near one of the bookshelves you will find the South Cloister Key Half (no timer), pick it up.
9. Combine the North Cloister Key Half with the South Cloister Key Half to create Key to the Lord's Sanctum.

   + =

10. Head back to the 3-way split and this time go to the east, now use Key to the Lord's Sanctum to unlock the Lord's Sanctum door. You will see a pit immediately with a Imperial Guard on the other side, jump over the pit and proceed straight east, killing all the guards and archivists along the way, eventually you will turn north and proceed past more guards. Continue on until you reach a room with 2 Imperial Guards and 2 Imperial Archivists standing on a square block of obsidian in the middle of a room, clear the room and on the northern wall you will find a desk with Rytheran's Untranslated Journal (13 day timer) to the left of it. Pick up the untranslated journal and take the surface portal to the west. (Book respawn is a 4 min timer)
11. Portal back to Zaikhal and hand the Rytheran's Untranslated Journal to Danira the Dusty to receive Rytheran's Journal and an xp reward of 25% of your next level.

Lore & Dialog

Speaking with Danira:
Danira the Dusty tells you, "Ah, you may be able to help me. I seek an artifact of the dread undead lord Rytheran. I think the ley line disturbances across the realm have opened up a gate into his personal library. There is some kind of gate that appeared within the old Mage Academy... But I believe, to enter it, you must have a seal of Rytheran's... A seal that my scouts have traced to a crypt in the Empyrean Graveyard in the Direlands. The graveyard can be found at 65 S, 44 W, but I do not know which crypt within its expansive grounds would contain the seal you need."

Danira the Dusty tells you, "Go search the crypts in that graveyard, and try to find Rytheran's lordly seal that will allow you into his Library. Enter the library through the gate near the Mage Academy and search for books. It may be too much to ask that the Book of Eibhil is still in there, but perhaps some journal of Rytheran's would help illuminate the trail to that terrifying artifact. In any case, please bring me whatever books you may find in there."

---

Showing Danira Seal:
You allow Danira the Dusty to examine your Rytheran's Master Seal.

Danira the Dusty tells you, "Yes, this is the seal of Rytheran's that I asked you to find, but the seal itself does me no good. As I told you, the gate to Rytheran's Library can be found near the old Mage Academy. The entrance portal to that dungeon can be found at 74.7 N, 18.5 E. Search for some new formation or artifact near that portal."

---

Statue interaction:
The statue remains inert, unmoving, and vaguely menacing.

You give Master's Sentinel Rytheran's Master Seal

The statue seems to glimmer for a moment, and a disembodied voice intones, "Welcome back, Master. Even in our ageless vigil, you have been long absent."

---

Using Master's Lectern:
The lectern pulses with a malign intelligence as you touch it, and it almost feels like it is examining you... Suddenly, a discordant shriek echoes in your mind, and the pedestal makes its displeasure known.

Master's Lectern tells you, "Thief! Impostor! Master has already removed the Book of Eibhil!"

---

Bringing Journal to Danira:
You give Danira the Dusty Rytheran's Untranslated Journal

Danira the Dusty tells you, "You recovered Rytheran's Journal? Excellent!"

Danira briefly skims the pages of Dericostian runes.

Danira the Dusty tells you, "Unfortunate... The journal provides little information about where he has hidden the Book of Eibhil. I suppose it was too much to hope for. Still, this book has done much to illuminate the undead lord's thinking, and it shows us he is intimately involved with the ley line disturbances and the rise of the graveyard... Oh, what has Rytheran unleashed?"

Danira the Dusty tells you, "I thank you for this. I'll provide you with a translation of the text, for your own edification, and some practical knowledge "

Danira gives you Rytheran's Journal
