Quest text[edit]
Lantenal tells you, Lore surrounding the element of primal magic is plentiful. As you well know, dragons were the first to practice magic in Istaria. A gift from Drulkar to the dragons that came after, taught by their children to our ancestors, for age upon age primal magic reigned supreme. The lesser creatures came to us for instruction in magic, and for many decades we deigned to teach them. Even in the modern times, the path of fashioning spells for all the living races is available to every youngest hatchling, or the most aged ancients.
Lantenal tells you, Our magic is a pale substitute for that of our ancient ancestors. Where the power of the lesser races has waxed, our own strength in magic has diminished. Yet as the original practitioners of magic, the way lies open for us to reclaim this glory as well. Magic is our birthright, <player>, and thus we possess the key within ourselves to every focus of primal essence. If you wish to become an ancient, you must find and unlock one of these power sources yourself.
Lantenal tells you, As an ancient of the Helian faction, your legacy lies in the magic of healing and succor. Yes certainly in the past some of our fiercest warriors have come from the Helian line, primarily, however, the path of the Helian is the path of compassion. It is said that green gemstones often prove the greatest foci for healing magic, though the texts again speak in riddles as to the specific source you are to locate.
A glassy shimmer, grassy green,
Yet found among the ivory north.
How odd to find this thing of spring
An emerald out of snow drawn forth.
Lantenal tells you, We are almost done, <player>. You have obtained the fourth element. But give me a moment to channel the primal magic into your cask of holding.
Lantenal tells you, The first four elements, <player>, are combined and held safe within your cask.
Now it is time for you to look for the fifth and last element.
