Lore & Dialog
Darhy, Assistant to Nuhmudira tells you, "Hello. I have been tasked by Nuhmudira to continue to collect Whispering Venom crystals. They aided in overcoming the threat of the ancient Olthoi Queen who resided within this lair. It is important to probe this lair lest the Queen should return here and defeat any Olthoi within it! Nuhmudira had determined there is an unknown force that seems to "drown out" mana and suppresses higher forms of magic. This force is particularly powerful in the proximity of this lair and prevents anyone from being portalled successfully there."
Darhy, Assistant to Nuhmudira tells you, "A very rare crystal, Whispering Venom crystal is required to nullify this effect- the wearing of a ring made from this crystal allows a successful journey through portal space to this lair. Alas, Nuhmudira did possess a supply of these crystals however they were stolen once from her warehouse, together with numerous other crystals. While the other crystal types are being replaced through the good efforts of Isparians, a supply of Whispering Venom crystal is lacking."
Darhy, Assistant to Nuhmudira tells you, "There is a mine at desert's edge, west of Khayyaban, which used to be a source of these crystals. It may be somewhat depleted but it is our only hope. Please try to find some and return as soon as you are able!"
You pick up a gem from underneath the rock.
You give Olthoi Hunter Olthoi Abdomen Fragment.
Olthoi Hunter tells you, "The Olthoi Sentinel is truly a fearsome creature. I shall make you a shield worthy of a prince with this fragment."
Olthoi Hunter gives you Greater Olthoi Shield.
Olthoi Hunter tells you, "Take care."
Notes
- For the record: Hyip the Toad sends you to Djusufa bint Huqis, the Jeweler in Zaikhal, who will in return send you to Cydna Wren, who will give you a journal which indicates the location of her portal gems.
- The Lair does not hold the Ancient Olthoi Queen anymore. She was only there during her Story Arc. Instead, an Olthoi Sentinel spawns.
