Lore & Dialog
You give Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator Unreadable Dericost Tome.
Kuyiza begins translating and transcribing the text for you, happily chatting along as she works.
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "It has been such a long while since I have had something new to work with. People usually bring me bits of parchment from Frore... not that I mind Frore..."
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "Sometimes they bring me something about the undead scholar Rytheran... but I've seen most of what is said in those texts already..."
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "Then there was that whole Elemental business... well... I wasn't able to leave my cottage because they were everywhere for a time..."
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "And who would have thought that the Dericost would help us seal up the tunnels of the... oh my..."
Kuyiza stops mid sentence, rapidly finishes her transcriptions and seals the tome with wax.
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "You are working for the Shadow Hunter Killcrane, yes? Quickly, take this directly to him. Don't dawdle. What is in this tome is of great import."
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator gives you Translated Dericost Tome.
You allow Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist to examine your Repaired Shadow Stone.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "I've found a way to alter these stones to work with an Isparian Weapon, but I need you to get something for me first. I've managed, in my research, to locate a possible location for one of Atlan's Workshops, where he made the first weapons we based the Isparian Weapons on."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "The portal should be at 66.9N 15.9E, along the outside of the Mt. Esper Caldera. Go there, and gather for me whatever information you can."
You give Bretself the Translator Empyrean Notebook.
Bretself the Translator tells you, "Hmmm... This seems to be written in some sort of Empyrean Code."
Bretself the Translator tells you, "I can translate it into recognizable characters, but I can't make heads or tails of it. Seems Atlan didn't want other people reading his notes."
Bretself the Translator gives you Atlan's Coded Notebook.
You give Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist Atlan's Coded Notebook.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Ahh, the translated tome! Wonderful!"
Ciandra examines the book intently.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "This is going to take a bit of work, but this first part here is a magical "key" to enter Atlan's Laboratory. I'll attune you to the wards, so you can gain entrance. Go in there and see what you can find."
Ciandra chants quietly, and a soft glow infuses your skin for a moment.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Be careful in there. If these wards are any indication, Atlan was more than capable of setting up his lab to be well defended."
You give Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist Damaged Stone Infuser.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Perfect! This is just the tool mentioned in these notes."
Ciandra examines the Damaged Stone Infuser.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist gives you Repaired Stone Infuser.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist gives you Ciandra's Stone Infuser Instructions.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "It's been damaged... This will complicate things slightly. Ahh, this is bent too far over here... This part will need to be reset... there."
You've earned 20,000,000 experience.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "There you go, it should work now, but those repairs have made it rather fragile. It'll work as it needs to, but I don't think it'll survive more than one use."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "The book will tell you how to use it. You'll need two Decanters of Essence to make the process work. The first, you will need to bring, along with a Repaired Shadow Stone, to the Shade of Farelaith, in Northern Osteth. He can be found at 74.3N, 58.6E. The second you will need for charging the Stone Infuser. The information is all in the book."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "If you don't have two Decanters of Essence, my Apprentice can direct you in how to get some."
