Lore & Dialog
Groundswell
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Since joining the High Queen's council I have served as chief diplomat and scout. In the last few weeks we have found large concentrations of olthoi at several focal points across Dereth. Most of these focal points have already been eliminated by other hunters; their efforts will not be forgotten, or go without reward. There are still five locations that have a higher concentration of olthoi than we have ever seen before."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "We know that vibrations attract the olthoi. Preliminary reports about previously dismantled nests indicated a powerful humming noise emanating from the structure. We believe that the olthoi have been digging from the north and south for quite some time, having used the chaos that has been brewing amongst the lugian and tumerok raids, and heightened presence of Aerbax's virindi, as a cover for their expansion. This shows a heightened intelligence akin to what they exhibited upon our first arrival to Auberean."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Additionally, I am certain that smell has something to do with their movements. I've visited the former sites of the nests and found that each had a peculiar scent about it. Perhaps the potency of the scent attracts the different Matrons and Queens, who in turn control the movements and actions of the horde. I cannot fathom the level of intelligence necessary for organizing so many minds at once, but I am certain that such intelligence must have a weakness."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "We have Asheron and Nuhmudira, despite their differences, working on finding and exploiting that weakness. Nuhmudira is collecting the glands from the olthoi queens, while Asheron attempts to duplicate the process that he used for the original poison. There is still one concern however. We are not as advanced as the Empyrean and so our attempts at harvesting the glands will likely be clumsy. For that very reason, I have found the location of five other massive concentrations of olthoi. We are presuming that these areas are lead by a queen."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "I have detailed the locations in this book."
- Antius Blackmoor gives you Olthoi Queens: Locations and Findings.
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "When you find the queens, kill them and harvest the glands. Return those to Nuhmudira. I will be departing with Elysa at some point to find the location of the final one or two nests. Good Luck."
Infiltration
Yaraq:
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Friend! A word!"
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "As I am sure you are aware, a Viamontian recently appeared in Rithwic. His name is Carlo di Cenza. If my memory serves me correctly, he serves the house of Bellenesse, which was quite loyal - and quite close - to the King of Viamont."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "As far as we can tell, Carlo di Cenza is the only Viamontian on Dereth. But we cannot be sure of that. The man has yet to speak an intelligible word so far as we've seen."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "We must find out if others arrived with him. If there are Viamontians on Dereth, and if they are hiding from the Queen, then we may have a great deal of trouble ahead of us."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Do what you can. Scour the continent. If you uncover any worthwhile intelligence, return it to me."
- You give Antius Blackmoor Shadow Pass.
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "This seems to indicate that the Viamontians may well be on Dereth, but we cannot be sure. I need more than this. Keep searching.
- You give Antius Blackmoor Halaetan Magic.
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "This settles the matter. The Viamontians are here. And from what I can tell, they are the occupants of that mysterious landmass to the north."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "I wonder, how long have they been here? What plans do they have for the rest of us? And when will they make themselves known?"
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "I thank you for your assistance in this matter. You have done a great service to your Queen."
- You've earned 1,484,539 experience.
- You give Antius Blackmoor Bloody Tooth.
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "What manner of creature is this from? I've never seen a tooth of this size. You say the Viamontian gave you this? What foul creatures did the blue-skins bring with them, I wonder?"
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "I thank you for your assistance in this matter. You have done a great service to your Queen."
- You've earned 2,078,354 experience.
- You give Antius Blackmoor Broken Poniard.
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "A Viamontian dagger! I have not seen one of these in years!"
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "We are in for a great deal of trouble, my friend. You would do well to prepare yourself for the worst."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "I thank you for your assistance in this matter. You have done a great service to your Queen."
- You've earned 2,078,354 experience.
- You give Antius Blackmoor Severed Olthoi Head.
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "What creature is capable of doing this to an Olthoi? I have seen my fair share of Olthoi corpses, but this..."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Do you see these ridges here? Along the neck? It appears that this head was bitten off."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "I thank you for your assistance in this matter. You have done a great service to your Queen."
- You've earned 2,078,354 experience.
On Bended Knee
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "I am here against my better judgment. I had hoped that we would find an answer to the growing Burun problem, but as of yet, the Arcanum's scholars are not able to unlock the magic necessary to imbue weapons with slaying properties. Thus I am here at the request of High Queen Elysa with a proposition."
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Nuhmudira was removed from the council some months ago for conduct that was not befitting of her position. No public charges were levied, but she understood that there was an unspoken accusation. I am here to see that she is given a message. That message is one that I must support"
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Elysa is willing to grant her clemency in return for her aid. We need you to seek her out and obtain the devices necessary for finishing the Noble Weapons. They require the addition of a complex gem. Once that gem is set in place they should become Burun slaying weapons. Nuhmudira was last known to be residing in a remote cottage outside of Uziz near an oasis on the rim of the A'mun desert."
Throne of Destiny
Plateau Village:
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Ah, excellent, a willing hero. The Viamontians are besieging Zaikhal! My associate, Ardry the Dubious, has scouted out the Viamontians' defenses. Here are his notes."
- Antius Blackmoor gives you Viamontian Reconnaissance.
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Please go to Zaikhal and help defeat the Viamontians!"
- You give Antius Blackmoor Shard of Corcima's Armor.
- Antius Blackmoor tells you, "A shard of the armor of Corcima himself! Truly, you are a hero. I can use this shard to make armor every bit as good as that which Corcima wore. Take this coat, with my gratitude."
- Antius Blackmoor gives you Coat of the Zaikhal Defender.
