Mount Giragan – Keyword “Mysterious Object”
Excavator – You must be the ones Lord Ramanayan sent. We were so close, but then armed men stormed our camp and forced us to flee. We a saw a dark figure with red glowing eyes in the woods nearby. We fear it was an Avatar of Anaman. *sighs* Our dig site is completely destroyed. We can only suspect they wanted the rumored artifact buried here. I’m sorry I can’t be of any more help to you. Perhaps someone in Tagor would know more, since there were reports of another object being recovered there some deochs ago.
Tagor – Keyword “Mysterious Object”
Peasant - Yeah a few deochs ago I was working in the mine up north. We found some strange box but it wouldn’t open. It smelled so horrible we had to leave the mine. They sent a mage from Loures who took it on a ship. We ain’t heard nothing about it since. Some of the boys said they sawed a strange red eyed figure watching the mine, but none of them officials cared to listen.
That reminds me too some necromancers were poking their heads round here right after the event in question. Take my advice aislings; don’t seek out any necromancers unless you wish to fall onto a very dark path. Perhaps someone who deals with necromancers, but is not one, has more information but won’t attempt to lure you astray.
GOOD PATH
Suomi Wizard – Keyword “Mysterious Object”
Ah we have been expecting you aislings. My master and I have followed the recent events with great concern. While we are not proponents of necromancy we do what we can to make gold to continue our research. We also learn much in the process of dealing with necromancers.
You see the object recovered from Tagor is one of two parts that, when united, will locking an ancient power source. The other piece is supposedly buried under Mount Giragan. However, we know very little about what this power does, save it is far more powerful then any kind of magic in existence.
Originally the court of Loures themselves had requested we research the Tagorian object due to our experience with necromancers. Unfortunately the object never arrived here. In fact the ship that it was placed on was never heard from again. No one knows what happened to it.
The druids have informed us that the necromancers have a considerable interest in this power source. Other evidence indicates the remnants of the Pact of Anaman are also seeking the power. We cannot allow either group to gain this power for themselves.
We are formulating a plan to stop these two groups from obtaining this power. In the meantime we need some assistance. We are aware that the necromancers are building up enough items to summon an army of undead if needed. If you can gather us a ghast skull and gargoyle skull it will help our efforts against them. Return here when you have completed this task.
(On completion of task) – Good, this will deny the necromancers more soldiers. Just recently we learned of some disturbing news. We can now confirm that the remnants of the Pact of Anaman have indeed taken the artifact that was buried under mount Giragan. However without the Tagorian artifact they cannot unlock the ancient power. We are attempting to track both objects down now, but our most important concern is recovering the one from the Pact.
We have a contact with more information but he has gone into hiding. Somewhere in the Piet Sewers 2-2 you should find some information that will lead you to him and then the artifact. We do not know what might lurk beyond there, so please be careful. Once you have recovered the artifact seek out our associate in the abandoned Undine weapon’s shop. Tell him the phrase “Monolith”.
EVIL PATH Gigean’s Lair – Keyword “Mysterious Object”
I sense darkness in you aisling. You have chosen to come here instead of siding with those foolish elementalists. Do not fear for you have made the correct choice. We are in the mists of something great.
The artifact recovered from Tagor is one of two parts that, when united, will unlock an ancient power source. The other piece is supposedly buried under Mount Giragan. However, we know very little about what this power does, save it is far more powerful then any kind of magic in existence. Imagine armies of undead fueled by this ancient power!
Unfortunately those wrenched wizards would rather see the power destroyed then use it. And the Pact of Anaman has been no friend to us for hundreds of years. We must stop both groups from obtaining the power.
We have forces on their way to Giragan as we speak. We are also attempting to track down what happened to the Tagorian artifact. The ship carrying it from Tagor vanished without a trace several deochs ago.
In the meantime I do have a task for you to complete. We are in need of a gog’s maw to complement our undead army. When you have obtained this item return here.
(On completion of task) – Excellent, this will aide us greatly. Recently there have been some disturbing developments regarding the Pact of Anaman. It would appear that the Pact of Anaman has seized the artifact that was buried under Mount Giragan. Our men arrived too late.
However without the Tagorian artifact they cannot unlock the power source. We are attempting to track down both artifacts now, but our most important concern is recovering the one from the Pact.
We have a contact that may have more information, but he has gone into hiding. We believe somewhere in Piet Sewers 2-2 you will find clues which will lead to him and then to the artifact. We do not know what might lurk beyond there, so do not get yourselves killed. Once you have recovered the artifact seek out my apprentice in the farm beyond Tagor. Tell him the phrase “Pian”.
SWAMP Center
Good, you understood the message from the Sewers. We’ve got to keep this power out of his hands. I’ll get to the point quickly.
You see after the Tagorian artifact was recovered a wizard was sent out to retrieve it. The plan was to give it over to an expert mage in Suomi for investigation. The artifact was recovered as planned by the wizard, loaded onto a ship, and then the ship set sail. I was a member of the crew of that ship.
However, mid way through the voyage the ship was attacked and boarded. We assumed it was pirates just after random but we were wrong. I watched my shipmates butchered in front of me. Some of the invaders clearly were trained in the elements and eventually they overwhelmed the wizard.
I don’t know they where but I did a good look at their leader. He looked to be in his late fifties, whitish-grey, and wore an impressive white jacket. Before they left they set fire to our ship intending to send any evidence of their atrocities to the bottom.
It was only by mere luck I managed to survive by holding onto some planks. I drifted for several days until washing up on the coast of the Isle of Dawn.
Sailing the seas I learned that the Pact of Anaman has been using Nobis as a base of operations. If you hurry, you might be able to intercept the Tagorian artifact as they are bringing it back.
Nobis Entrance
[Anaman will be standing in Oren City near the entrance to the Nobis. When an aisling group doing the quest arrives he should do as follows.]
What is this? Pathetic aislings, I know what you are here for. The artifact is pure energy inside me now. Oh, so they didn’t tell you, did they? Once either artifact touches mortal hands it becomes pure energy. The only way it can be transferred is to kill the host.
*draws blade* And dear aislings, try not to scream to much as I cut out your still beating hearts and offer them up to my Dark Lord. HAHAHAHA!
[Anaman enters into the Nobis monster area and begins to fight the aislings]
Lines to say during fight:
1: Eight centuries have passed, only two remain. 2: The Pact is stronger then death. 3: Even if you slay me, I cannot die. 4: Impossible! 5: *Dies*
GOOD PATH
Undine Closed Weapon’s Shop
Keyword – “Monolith”
Undine – Welcome aislings, thank you for recovering the Tagorian artifact. We knew more then we let on before, but we had to make sure you were up to the task.
You see this power source is the same that forged such legendary weapons as the Shadow Slayer, the Draco Fang, and more. Sometime after Ainmeal defeated Tenes the power source vanished. We do not know why. What we do is that the power source was split into two. One piece was buried in what would later become the mine near Tagor. The other was turned into pure energy and cast out of Temuair, with the Seal of Temuair blocking its return.
When the Seal of Temuair was broken the energy portion returned to Temuair and settled under Mount Garigan. Once either touches mortal hands it becomes pure energy. The only way the energy can be transferred from one to another is by killing the holder - as you did to Anaman. You now hold half of the ancient power.
No doubt you also heard our contact’s story on the Tagorian artifact. There can be no doubt that the man who lead the attack on ship carrying the Tagorian artifact is none other then you’re Lord Ramanayan.
Ramanayan has been holding the other half of the power source for deochs now. It now seems likely that he has been attempting to seize this power source for decades. He tried to use you aislings, just like he has used hundreds of others over the past few decades.
Ramanayan cannot be allowed to gain control of the power source. Even if you killed Ramanayan his portion would then transfer into you and then you would completely control the power source. Likewise, if he is able to kill you, then he would take complete control.
*raises an eyebrow* However, if you were to take your own life then the power would have no where to go and would cease to exist. You must sacrifice yourself aisling for the greater good. This power cannot be allowed to exist. Take some wine and hemlock, go to the center of Astrid and make the right choice. I fear because of aisling physiology it will not work in another location.
EVIL PATH
Tagor Farm
Keyword – “Pian”
Tagor Farm: Excellent, you have recovered the Tagorian artifact. We knew more then we let on before, but we had to make sure you were up to the task.
You see this power source is the same that forged such legendary weapons as the Shadow Slayer, the Draco Fang, and more. Imagine what it could do for necromancy! Sometime after Ainmeal defeated Tenes the power source vanished. We do not know why. What we do is that the power source was split into two. One piece was buried in what would later become the mine near Tagor. The other was turned into pure energy and cast out of Temuair, with the Seal of Temuair blocking its return.

No doubt you also heard our contact’s story on the Tagorian artifact. There can be no doubt that the man who led the attack on ship carrying the Tagorian artifact is none other then you’re Lord Ramanayan.
Ramanayan has been holding the other half of the power source for deochs now. It now seems likely that he has been attempting to seize this power source for decades. He tried to use you aislings, just like he has used hundreds of others over the past few decades.
Ramanayan cannot be allowed to gain control of the power source. You must kill him aisling and then you will control the power! With our aid, we will teach you to use it. Then a new darkness will descent on Temuair that will make the Night of Tagor seem as nothing.
Ramanayan was last seen in the area of Astrid Center. Go quickly and take the power from him! Then we will rule Temuair once again!
Astrid Center
[Ramanayan will meet the arriving parties]
For Good Groups –
Wait, before you take your own life. I know why you are here. That foolish Undine rebel has lied to you. This is not a dangerous power, but one that has the potential to reinvigorate the aisling spark.
As you probably know the other way either power can be transferred is by killing the holder. That is not entirely true. Since I have held half the power for many deochs I have done considerable research. By utilizing an ancient Genniel era spell the power can be transferred from one to another without death.
Simply say the words “Pian Na Dubh Ramanayan” and it shall be done. Do this, and together we can restore Hy-brasyl!
For Evil Groups –
Well, I see that Gigean has some new errant boys. If you think you’ll just kill me and receive the power source you are deluding yourself. Do you even know to use it? The answer is no, but I do. I am the pathway to a power greater then life itself.
I have spent deochs researching this ancient power and it can be transferred without killing by utilizing an ancient Grenniel era spell.
Simply say the words “Pian Na Dubh Ramanayan” and it shall be done. Do this, and together we will rule Temuair! What do you say?
[If they agree]: HAHAHAHA! *summons forth the ancient powers* You fools did exactly what I thought you would. Your own greed has destroyed you.
[If they don’t]: *draws blade* Then I will take the power from your broken bodies. |
