Ryson Stormbringer, the Hero who sacrificed himself at the Battle of Tazoon, seems to be bound to you somehow. For better or worse, you two are intertwined and perhaps even linked to the Fate of Istaria itself.

Quest text[edit]

Ryson tells you, I have considered our situation, Gifted, and we should speak with someone who knows more of the area. Geleon the Wise will assist us. He is an old friend who helped the Protectorate out many years ago.




Geleon tells you, Good day to you, <player>. How may I be of assistance? Burial grounds of the Saris? The graveyard is on the north edge of town, near the water.

Geleon tells you, Older burials? *he narrows his eyes* Why do you ask?

Ryson says, 'I am sorry for the confusion, my friend, but we have need of your knowledge. '

Ryson says, 'It is a long story, one I promise to tell you in the fullness of time. For now, however, our needs are great and we cannot delay. I have felt a disturbance in the spiritual energies that surround us all and it has me concerned.'

Geleon says, ' Ryson! You died, how is it that you are here? '

Geleon says, ' Yes, yes, I understand. *he chuckles* Even in death you strive to protect Istaria from her enemies. I should have expected no less... It is good to see you again old friend. Now to your question.'

Geleon says, 'The Saris cremate our dead in the Holy Flames, but we are then buried on the shores where we will spend eternity beneath the loving gaze of Merrasat.'

Ryson says, 'These tombs, do they still exist?'

Geleon says, 'However, it has not always been so. Long ago, before the Rise of the Humans and the coming of the Sslik to our island, our people preferred, instead, to bury their cremated remains in cliffside sepulchres. The better to lay undisturbed but still close to Merrasat.'

Geleon tells you, Oh, yes, of course they do. They dot the coastlines of Lesser Aradoth. There is one relatively close to town, to the northwest, beneath the lighthouse. Search there for your disturbance, but please take care not to disturb the resting places of my ancestors. May Merrasat guide you.

It appears as if something is disturbing the rest of these ancient spirits. You should find it and destroy it!

You have slain the diviner! This should delay the plans of the Withered Aegis for a time.

Geleon tells you, What did you find, <player>? Agents of the Withered Aegis raising the ancient dead? Truly?

Ryson tells you, I feared as much. It would seem, Gifted, that the Cabal of the Withered Aegis are attempting to secure more troops, perhaps to reform the Undead Horde that I defeated many years ago. You have done well, Gifted, but I fear this is but a small piece of the puzzle.
