Lore & Dialog

In your mind, a soft voice sighs, "So many turns of the world have passed. When shall my torment end?"
In your mind, a soft voice sighs, "Please leave me be... I wish thee no harm."
In your mind, a soft voice sighs, "Disturb me not... Travel past this hole in the earth."

Leikotha tells you, "Ai, another comes, breaking mine wretched musings. Why have you come to this sandy tomb, filled with unnatural beasts? Is your heart filled with greed, seeking what treasures may lay within? Or is your heart of a more noble nature, perhaps seeking to release me from this torment? It matters not, for I have but one thing to offer you."
Leikotha gives you Broken Haft.
Leikotha tells you, "Like so many things found on this unhappy world, it is broken. Once though it belonged to a friend. One like thee. One who hoped to release me. Ai, he failed... he failed."
Leikotha tells you, "Take the haft, I would see it used again in his name than have it stay with me and crumble to dust. If thou have no use for the Haft, I would still see it as it once was. Return the haft to me, repaired, and I will reward thee. Those that surround me speak of one of thy kind who may know how to set it to order once more. Look for her at 1.7 S, 36.6 E."

You give Kayna bint Iswas Broken Haft.
Kayna bint Iswas tells you, "Good heavens! Do you know what you have here? Do you see these markings? This is a piece of the legendary Silifi of the Crimson Stars!"
Kayna bint Iswas tells you, "It looks like the blade, the rubies, and the top two jewel fittings have been broken off. I can repair the haft, but it will only be able to hold three of the five gems, should you manage to find them."
Kayna bint Iswas gives you Repaired Haft.
Kayna bint Iswas tells you, "You'll also have to replace the blade. Here, this pamphlet has some suggestions and tips for you."
Kayna bint Iswas gives you Notes on the Silifi.
Kayna bint Iswas tells you, "I'd choose carefully, were I you. As fragile as this is now, you wouldn't be able to remove the spine or the rubies try again."

Leikotha tells you, "Thy mind tells that the haft has been repaired. Give it to me, and I shall reward thee."
You give Leikotha Repaired Haft.
Leikotha inspects the haft.
Leikotha tells you, "It is almost as I remember it when he carried it in his hand. Not quite though. Some harm cannot be undone."
Leikotha sighs.
Leikotha tells you, "Ai, Wari. One like thee, a child of another sun. He carried this haft, a great blade resting within it, and sought to release me. He failed... and now has been cursed as I have."
A single tear rolls down Leikotha's cheek. She raises a hand to her face and the dry wrappings absorb the tear instantly.
Leikotha tells you, "As I have said, I shall reward you."
You've earned 10,000 experience.
Leikotha tells you, "If thou returns with the gems that once graced this haft, I will reward thee again."

You give Leikotha The Ruby Al-Shajar.
Leikotha tells you, "Mine thanks. This gem was but the first one that graced the axe Wari once wielded. Thy people had begun to establish holdings here on Ireth Lassel when Wari came across this ancient tomb. This place of mourning that I have haunted for millennia."
Leikotha looks to the ceiling above her, and then returns her attention to you.
Leikotha tells you, "After defeating those that surround me, Wari approached me. The long days had gone by so slowly, and this diminutive creature, one so much like mine own people, intrigued me. For a moment, this curiosity lifted the burden of my torment off my soul."
Leikotha tells you, "I hailed this creature, asked him his name and what he sought. A moment he stood silent, considering me. Then he told me his name, what had passed on the land above, and that he now looked for a cause to lend his blade to."
Leikotha tells you, "A spark of hope entered my heart, if I could still be said to have one. So long had I sought to undo Nerash's binding, the curse that forever keeps me from passing. Perhaps this curious creature could finally undo it. Ai, I was wrong, so very wrong."
Leikotha tells you, "Ai, I see I have tarried thee long enough. I will reward thee for thy efforts."
You've earned 25,000 experience.
Leikotha tells you, "If thou brings me another of the gems, perhaps I will tell thee more."

You give Leikotha The Ruby Yujazik.
Leikotha tells you, "The second gem from Wari's axe. Allow me to reward thee."
You've earned 25,000 experience.
Leikotha tells you, "Since thou has shown an interest in Wari's tale, I will continue to tell it to thee."
Leikotha tells you, "I had told Wari of Nerash's poison arrow and my fall at the Plateau of Gelid. Of how Nerash, a foul undead minion of Dericost, had sought to keep me at his side for all eternity. Of how I had been tortured and twisted by his dark rites and doomed to never know the peace of oblivion. Of my daughter, Alysse, who only knew her mother as a loathsome monster, who had been forced to flee the light."
Leikotha tells you, "Wari's noble heart was moved, he swore to find a means to undo Nerash's binding. I told him of the undead lords who roamed the sands of this land. The secrets of blood were known to them, perhaps they could aid him in releasing the binding."
Leikotha tells you, "Wari set off to find these lords. Never again did I see him."

You give Leikotha The Ruby Sulmada.
Leikotha tells you, "Ai, thou have found the third gem from Wari's axe. You shall be rewarded."
You've earned 25,000 experience.
Leikotha tells you, "Many days passed after Wari left this tomb. Days that had been very much the others before Wari had come, yet the spark of hope remained."
Leikotha tells you, "Then one of these creatures, these minor undead who derive a sick pleasure from seeing mine torment, told me that Wari had fallen. It cackled, the teeth in its fleshless skull rattling together with pleasure."
Leikotha tells you, "The spark of hope died. Ai, if I could but join it."

You give Leikotha The Ruby Mahwan.
Leikotha tells you, "Wari's fourth gem. Thank thee."
You've earned 25,000 experience.
Leikotha tells you, "I had stood here, impassive, watching the days begin and end, ceaselessly. As the millennia had passed, I thought I had but one feeling left to me: sorrow. Yet Wari had shown I had another: hope. Now this fleshless fool, the one who told me of Wari's death, had brought out yet another: fury."
Leikotha tells you, "I struck down the fool, although not before I found out where Wari had fallen. Wari had sought the answer to unbinding me in the dungeon Sylsfear."
Leikotha tells you, "I left this tomb, something I had not done for untold ages, and sought out those who had done this."
Leikotha sighs.
Leikotha tells you, "Ai, if only I had not. If only."

You give Leikotha The Ruby Al-Khur.
Leikotha tells you, "The fifth gem. I see thou have seen Wari. Fate has not been kind to a soul so noble. Some once said the same of me. However, thou does deserve a reward for giving Wari a moment of peace."
You've earned 25,000 experience.
Leikotha tells you, "Now you know what I found when I entered Sylsfear. Wari had sought out the undead lords, those who, in their life, had maintained the facility and studied the mana and structure of this world. These undead lords and their minions had overpowered Wari, had discovered why he sought them out, and thought of an appropriate punishment."
Leikotha tells you, "His mighty blade was shattered and spread about the undead minions as trophies. He was left with but one piece; the gem thou have brought to me. The lords also cursed Wari in a manner similar to me. Yet Wari's curse had been imperfect and his mind was now as shattered his axe had been."
Leikotha tells you, "I wept bitter tears when I returned to this tomb, seeing what had become of this noble child of distant sun. Ai, the tears were for me as well, for now I knew my torment would not end."
Leikotha tells you, "Thou does know the tale now, and I have but a few final words to offer thee: Do not fear the fate that awaits all creatures that draw breath, for fates much worse than that can be meted out." Leikotha tells you, "Now please leave me be."

Notes

During The Slumbering Giant event, a number of changes were made to this quest:

Leikotha became an NPC and now gave the Broken Haft directly instead of protecting it as a creature.
The newer Hoary and Plate Armoredillo spines could be used with the axe.
Unneeded parts can be handed to Leikotha for experience.

A quest to upgrade this axe to the Silifi of Crimson Night was introduced in the Come What Follows event.
