Chronology/Event Quests

Grael's Forces begin their assault - June 16, 2006

Grael's Shadow Lieutenant attacks

• Grael's Shadow Lieutenant and his army attack the locations where the Shadow Spires fell including: Arwic, Eastham, Khayaban, Tufa, Tou Tou, Sawato and the Dark Design dungeon.
• The Lieutenant at each of the locations drops a piece of a ripped note, which can be combined with the other pieces to form A Letter. The letter can be translated and then handed in to Sarkin Killcrane of Wai Jhou for the title Apprentice Shadow Hunter.

Grael's Shadow Captain attacks

• Grael's Shadow Captain and his army of high level Shadows attacks Arwic and the other former Shadow Spire attack sites - Shadow Storms appear in the sky.
• The Captain at each site drops a Shadow Mote on death, which can be combined to form a Shadow Shard. The shard can be shown to Sarkin Killcrane for the title Shadow Hunter.

Grael's general attacks Wai Jhou

• One of Grael's generals, Makkar, attacks Wai Jhou. On death he drops a claw, which can be given to Sarkin Killcrane to break a spell that Makkar cast on him. In return, Sarkin rewards you with xp and the title Killcrane's Ally.

Grael's forces retreat

• Grael's Shadow Captain reappears in Arwic and the other towns after each new spawn is cleared. When the captain is defeated, a portal opens to a dungeon containing a Mukkir General that drops a Piece of a Device on its corpse.
• When the seven pieces from each general are combined it forms an Incomplete Device. The device can be used with the Shadow Shard from earlier to create the Inactive Device.

A Shadow Breach opens in Arwic

• General Makkar appears again, this time near the breach with other Mukkir. He drops an Amulet of Dark Rage, which when wielded allows the wearer to enter the breach.
• The Shadow Vortex at the bottom of the dungeon is killed and a portal to Arwic appears.
• After the vortex is destroyed, players can show their amulets to Sarkin Killcrane for xp and the title Knight of the Golden Flame.
• The Inactive Device can be shown to Sarkin Killcrane for xp and the title Squire of the Golden Flame.
• The amulet can also be shown to Riordin Nightbane, who will then accept the Inactive Device and give you Grael's Claw in return.
