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, Dragon, 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 Lunus faction, your legacy lies in the magic of combat. Yes certainly in the past some of our finest healers have come from the Lunus line, primarily, however, the path of the Lunus is the path of domination. It is said that red or black gemstones often prove the greatest foci for combat magic, though the texts again speak in riddles as to the specific source you are to locate.


Far upon southeastern isle,

Shall your quest abide awhile.

Golem of fire guards the gemstone you seek,

Fight strong for his treasures fall not to the weak.


You have received 1 Crimson Gemstone.

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, I have the first four elements, <player>, combined and held safe within your cask. Now it is time for you to look for the fifth and last element.

Steps[edit]

  • Solve the riddle and find a symbol of primal magic...
    • The answer is: Granduus. He roams around in the Fire Opal Golem caves at Island of Fire. Cave entrance is at 27700/30900.
    • Alternatively he is seen at Saritova Islands. Best port to Clearport, then go south on the road and stay south once the road turns (27200/15500).
  • Return to Lantenal with the Crimson Gemstone...
