General

Devana ibn Rafik is looking for information on her father, Hamud ibn Rafik. Hamud and his daughter were followers of the Shagar Zharala on Ispar. The Shagar Zharala had become corrupt so Hamud was made an outcast left Ispar through the portals to Dereth where he began a new organization based on the tenants of the Shagar Zharala, the Tenebrous Edge. Unfortunately Hamud allied himself with the Shadows thinking that they were the "incarnations of the very ideals that we in the Zharalim tried to emulate". Hamud was corrupted by the shadows and became a shadow himself.

Walk Through

1. Kill Ash Gromnies or Adolescent Ash Gromnies until one drops an Ash Gromnie Tooth.
   • Adolsecent Ash Gromnies are higher level and only found in the Valley of Death but they have a much higher drop rate than regular Ash Gromnies.
2. Give the Tooth to an Ivory Crafter in exchange for 5,000 xp and an Ash Tooth Dagger.
3. Give the Ash Tooth Dagger to the Ivory Crafter and they will give you a note, the Introduction to Devana.
   • Note: They will not keep the Ash Tooth Dagger. The Ivory Crafter only examines it.
4. Take the Introduction note to Devana bint Hamudi just outside Zaikhal at 12.9N, .4E. She will give you a Key to Hamud's Chambers and Devana's Note.
5. Go to the Mountain Fortress (ACmaps) at 82.4S, 19.9E near Qalaba'r
6. The dungeon is full of Shadows and Zefirs. Make your way through the dungeon until you find a locked door. Use the Key to Hamud's Chambers to unlock the door.
   • Warning: Don't discard your key now. The key has two uses and you need to return to Hamud later.
7. Just beyond the locked door you will find Hamud ibn Rafik. Give him Devana's Note. He will give you the Foundry Key and instruct you to bring him a Pyreal Dagger from the Empyrean Foundry.
   • Optional: There are two pieces of lore on the ground. You can't pick them up so you have to read them there: the A Letter to Devana, the Precepts of the Tenebrous Edge, and The Fallen Master of Shagar Zharala.
8. Go to the Empyrean Foundry (ACmaps) dungeon found in the Blackmire Swamp near Sawato at 25.2S, 54.2E.
9. The dungeon is full of low level Mosswarts and Sclavus. Make your way through the dungeon until you find an Ancient Pyreal Dagger.
10. Return to the Mountain Fortress and give Hamud the Ancient Pyreal Dagger and he will give you Hamud's Pyreal Katar and Hamud's Last Testament.
11. Give the Last Testament to Devana back in Zaikhal and she will give you Oswald's Dagger.
