Lore & Dialog

Dagger of Tikola

Level 1 - 79:

You give Felscuda Ancient Shard of Metal.

You've earned 135,000 experience.

Felscuda gives you Ruminations on Portal Creation.

Felscuda tells you, "Where did you find this? From the cellar? But how...this bodes ill..."

Felscuda tells you, "I shall tell you what I know - what I truly know, that is. The cellar you have exited leads into what remains of a Falatacot ruin."

Felscuda tells you, "That is right - I know of the Falatacot, and I've studied much more than I make Lady Folthid or passers-by aware of. It is no accident that Lady Folthid's house was built here. I suggested it, at the advice of...another patron. I remain in service here secretly - but as Lady Folthid, being a noble, might talk to other powerful individuals, I have only revealed myself to you as you are not so powerful, yet. Please keep my secret."

Felscuda tells you, "Since the house was built, I have watched for signs of activity from the cellar. It has been quiet, but this device indicates new activity."

Felscuda tells you, "Someone has attempted to use it recently - I can tell by the small tarnish here, which indicates that a surge of portal magic enveloped the device. However, whatever magic was attempted did not work. This is but a fragment of the entire device, and the device would have needed to be whole in order to work properly."

Felscuda tells you, "If I were to guess, I would say that there was a faction of Falatacot somewhere doing something - I am sorry I cannot be more specific."

Felscuda tells you, "Someone should find Asheron and inform him...but he has not been seen in so long. This note may help. It was research he was conducting shortly before he left. May it be of use to you."

Level 80+:

You give Felscuda Ancient Shard of Metal

You've earned 135,000 experience.

Felscuda looks at you blankly.

Felscuda tells you, "No, I don't know nothing about this. It is pretty, though - mind if I keep it?"

Mountain Sewers

Level 1 - 79:

You give Bretself the Translator Inscribed Purple Gem.

Bretself the Translator gives you Trade Note (10,000).

You've earned 2,300,000 experience.

Bretself the Translator tells you, "I am surprised I have been seeing these in circulation. Can you keep a secret?"

Bretself the Translator tells you, "At one point a few years ago, I was honored to receive a letter from Asheron himself, through Scholar Antius Blackmoor. I was flattered to have received it, but what he asked me was unusual."

Bretself the Translator tells you, "He wished that I would watch out for anyone bearing these gems. If the person seemed powerful enough that they might know how to use them, I am to plead ignorance. I do not think you are, however."

Bretself the Translator gives you Letter to Bretself the Translator.

Bretself the Translator tells you, "Therefore, I shall tell you - they are from a hidden cache that Asheron stored in the mountains, for use in portal creation. I am not certain precisely where he intended to open a portal to, but the gems were to be a power source. The inscription reads, simply, "Property of Asheron Realaidain," nothing more."

Bretself the Translator tells you, "I shall share with you the letter I received. Perhaps it will tell you more about the gem and its uses. I'll also give you this trade note as payment for the gem - I am supposed to retain them, but I can at least offer you fair market value for them."

Level 80+:

You've earned 2,750,000 experience.

Bretself the Translator tells you, "This is a very pretty Empyrean bauble. The writing is largely inconsequential. I'll take care of diposing it for you, and give you what a collector might pay for it."

Bretself the Translator gives you Trade Note (10,000).

Halls of Metos

Level 1 - 79:

You give Golem Warden of Metos Pyreal Mote.

You've earned 1,317,983 experience.

The golem speaks in a low, gravelly, regulated voice.

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "My power level has reached half. If you supply me with a mote from the Halls of Metos in the southwestern part of Ireth Lassel, I should be able to fully serve you."

You give Golem Warden of Metos Pyreal Mote.

You've earned 2,899,563 experience.

The golem speaks in a normal voice - perhaps Empyrean by its accent.

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "For you who have come this far, I leave a message. Your diligence is appreciated, even applauded, but you should not attempt to reconstruct the portal to Bur. I have learned only too well the risks associated with opening portals to other worlds, and alloing them to remain open. It is better if my portal remains closed. I should be able to repoen it when it is time for me to return. At this point, I shall hopefully have with me a solution to the Burun problem."

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "Also, I imagine that Metos would have appreciated if I mention that there are no inactive golems available for you. Unfortunately, I required the last one for the portal ritual."

A piece of paper is ejected from the golem slowly, which you take.

Golem Warden of Metos gives you Ruminations and Warnings on Portal Creation.

Level 80+:

You give Golem Warden of Metos Pyreal Mote.

You've earned 1,317,983 experience.

The golem speaks in a low, gravelly, regulated voice.

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "My power level has reached half. If you supply me with a mote from the Halls of Metos in the western part of Ireth Lassel, I should be able to fully serve you."

You give Golem Warden of Metos Pyreal Mote.

You've earned 2,899,563 experience.

The golem speaks in a low, gravelly, regulated voice.

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "Greetings, patron. I hope you have enjoyed the demonstration of my works."

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "Unfortunately, I currently have no golems produced and available for your use."

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "Please return later, and I hope I will be able to supply you in the future."
