Quest Overview

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.

This is a very old quest, dating back to the 3rd patch of the game in February of 2000.

Walk Through

Kill Brass Gromnies until one drops a Brass Gromnie Tooth. A good place to hunt is near the drop of the Ancient Empyrean Grotto which has a portal in the Facility Hub in the Olthoi dungeons section.
Give the Tooth to an Ivory Crafter in exchange for Brass Knuckles.
Give the Brass Knuckles back to the Ivory Crafter and he will give you a note, the Introduction to Devana. You will also receive the Contract for Hamud's Demise with the note.
- Note: The Ivory Crafter will not keep the Brass Knuckles. If you plan on repeating the quest, keep the knuckles or mule them.
Take the Introduction note to Devana bint Hamudi just outside Zaikhal at 12.9N, 0.4E. She will give you a Key to Hamud's Chambers and Devana's Note.
Go to the Mountain Fortress at 82.4S, 19.9E near Qalaba'r.
The dungeon is full of Zefirs on the upper levels and Shadows on the lower levels. 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.
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 three 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.
Go to the Empyrean Foundry dungeon found in the Blackmire Swamp near Sawato at 25.2S, 54.2E.
The dungeon is full of Mosswarts on the upper levels and Sclavi on the lower levels. Make your way through the dungeon until you find an Ancient Pyreal Dagger.
- Warning: The Mosswarts use combination vuln/war lightning and fire damage. The Sclavi also use war attacks. Lower level characters are advised to advance slowly through the dungeon to avoid being swarmed.
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.
Give the Last Testament to Devana back in Zaikhal and she will give you Oswald's Dagger and some experience.
