  2. Head to the Corrupted Catacombs (Sawato) @ 23.9S, 54.1E (Near Sawato).If you will be taking a group, you can tie to the surface portal just inside Swamp Ruin at 25.1S 52.1E to make a much shorter run.
  3. The place is somewhat of a maze so you might have to backtrack. Run through the dungeon (look for down ramps) until you find a Slimy Key
  4. Once you have the key, you need to backtrack to a big open room and on the far side is another ramp down, here you should find sclavus, once you get to the sclavus section stick right and keep heading down, you will pass a surface portal. On the right hand side will be a door, use the Slimy Key on the door to unlock it.
  5. Once through the door, grab a Corrupted Mana Shard from the pedistal.
  6. Return the shard to Kirina of the Celestial Hand to be initiated into the Celestial Hand faction.
  7. Use the Initiate's Treasure Key to loot one of the four chests inside the Celestial Hand Stronghold (Armor Quartermaster's Chest, Equipment Quartermaster's Chest, Weapon Quartermaster's Chest, Researcher's Chest).

Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "I see that you have aided Jondor Torgren in Zaikhal and met with our recruiter in Ayan Baqur to receive a copy of our manifesto."
Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "If you wish to join our Society, then I have a task for you, to prove your commitment. In the swamps of middle Osteth there is a cave. In that cave is the entrance to the Corrupted Catacombs. If you search around 23.9S, 54.1E, you should find the entrance."
Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "In those catacombs, you'll find a Corrupted Mana Shard. Retrieve the Shard and bring it to me, and your test will be complete."
Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Be warned, once you have the Shard, it'll be rather unstable, and will last only an hour before it turns to dust. I'll cast a spell on you that will protect you from the corruption of the Shard. I wouldn't recommend touching it without the protections."
Kirina of the Celestial Hand chants briefly, and then touches your brow. Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "There, you should now be able to carry the Corrupted Mana Shard safely."


You give Kirina of the Celestial Hand Corrupted Mana Shard.
Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Well done. You have done all I asked of you, and done so quickly enough for the Mana Shard to still be in one piece. Well done indeed."
Kirina of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Welcome to the Society of the Celestial Hand! Nearby, you will find a portal into our Stronghold, where you will find several important people to your future within our Society."
