Lore & Dialog

Ma'yad ibn Ibsar tells you, "Hail, traveler. Have you encountered a man named Abmim ibn Ibsar? He is my brother, who foolishly listened to those who whisper of an unsafe freedom to be gained in the Direlands."
Ma'yad ibn Ibsar tells you, "We have not heard from him in several months, and begin to worry. If you bring me news of him, I would reward you as well as I may."
Ma'yad ibn Ibsar tells you, "The last we heard, he had finally accepted some honest work from Akyafi the Translator. Perhaps Akyafi, who resides upstairs, can tell you more."


Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "I am a humble scholar from Zaikhal. Of late, we have heard of the unusually large number of Drudges in the hills around the Yaraq Cove."
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "They seem to gather near the ruin of the Empyrean port on the far side of the cove, where the Mad Star flickers. Perhaps you could investigate, and bring me back something which would explain their presence?"
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "I recently sent young Abmim to investigate, but he has not yet returned."
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "If you are having difficulty locating the Mad Star, you may buy directions from the barkeeper, Jubal. He's afraid of the Mad Star; ask him instead how to reach the Pillars of the Inner Sea.


You give Ma'yad ibn Ibsar Abmim's Jambiya.
Ma'yad ibn Ibsar tells you, "Ah, Abmim, I knew you would one day run afoul of something. He that chooses a thief's life has it stolen from him early. My brother became a brigand and murderer, friend traveler."
Ma'yad ibn Ibsar tells you, "Be not as foolish as he - do not lightly discard the protection this mage Asheron provides. But, as I promised, you have earned a reward."

You've earned 11,250 experience.


You give Ma'yad ibn Ibsar A Note to Ma'yad.
Ma'yad ibn Ibsar tells you, "Abmim, my brother! Ah, to learn that at the last you had renounced your evil ways! This gives me great joy and great pain - joy that you came to your sense, and pain that it came too late!"
You've earned 11,250 experience.
Ma'yad ibn Ibsar tells you, "Traveler, you have eased my troubled heart. Thank you."


You give Akyafi ibn Sumwar Scrawled Note.
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "I have never before heard of a Drudge carrying paper! It is well known that they are far too feebleminded to understand the written word. Allow me to reward you for this fascinating discovery."
You've earned 7,500 experience.
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "I wonder what this means? Give me a moment; I believe I may be able to translate it."
Akyafi ibn Sumwar gives you Translation.
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "There you are. This is ... intriguing. I wish to study this more closely. In the meantime, I would like you to investigate the Mad Star more carefully. Search the nearby Crypt, if you would, and bring me anything you find."


You give Akyafi ibn Sumwar Mad Star Marionette's Head.
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "What is this? Can this be the creature the drudges' note referred to?"
Akyafi fishes a note from his pocket and reads it carefully.
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "No ... no ... I do not ... No, I do not know. I must study!"
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "But thank you, friend."

You've earned 37,500 experience.
Akyafi ibn Sumwar tells you, "If you are looking for more adventure, you might want to peruse the rumors that Jubal has at the bar. Or perhaps you should journey to Shoushi. I hear that there are many good people there who may need some help!"

Notes

  • During The Calm event, new rumors appeared and old rumors were updated. A new creature the Mad Star Marionette also appeared, Ma'yad ibn Ibsar was relocated to the Cerulian Cove tavern (21.7S, 1.6W) and level restrictions were removed from the Under Cove Crypt dungeon.
  • During the Reforging the Past event, the quest timer was shortened from 24 hours to 20 hours.
  • During an unknown event(s) (possibly Learning From Experience) the experience was updated. The Jambiya and Note to Ma'yad increased from 7,500 to 11,250, the Scrawled Note increased from 5,000 to 7,500, and the Marionette's Head increased from 25,000 to 37,500.
