Ahassunu has been curious about the Emerald since you came to her for the polished azulyte prisms. With her help, you managed to trade the Dwarves for temporary use of the emerald so that she can study it.


Quest text[edit]

We Dwarves are true to our word, <player>. You have returned the Word of Brobbet to us and for that you may make use of the Emerald for your studies. Thazor will see to it.


Speak with Thazor Goldeneye, the Royal Treasurer

As m'lord Gulnor said, you may... borrow... the Emerald of Dahm'a'mun. I will not forget that you have it, <player>. Dwarves do not forget.

Welcome back, <player>. Did the Dwarves release the Emerald to you?

  • Yes, here it is.

Amazing! You have my thanks. Now, let us get down to business. While I am studying this emerald, why don't you go find me another to experiment on. I can't experiment on the Dwarven one, can I?

  • True! Where would I find a large emerald?

Take the Emerald to Ahassunu in Chiconis

Probably from emerald golems, <player>. The larger the better!


Defeat Emerald Golems and locate a Massive Emerald that Ahassunu can use to experiment on

Game Feedback: You've located an emerald large enough for Ahassunu!

Good timing, <player>. I had just decided to take a break as I believe I have made a breakthrough. Did you find an emerald for me to test on?

  • I did. Here you are!

Thank you. Yes, this will work perfectly. I have spent some time investigating the nature of the magical energies within the Emerald of Dahm'a'mun and I can say, with certainty, that whoever cast the spells upon it was an absolute genius.

  • The Dwarves claim it was Brobbet herself.

Well, I cannot say for certain that it is divine, but what I can say with certainty is that the nature of this emerald is beyond my level of knowledge.

  • So you cannot create a copy?

Return to Ahassunu in Chiconis with the Massive Emerald

Not an exact copy, no. However, simply examining it I have some ideas of new theories of crystal creation that I am eager to try out. Now that I have this emerald to test on, I will begin. Please, will you go get a slab of Blackened Gruok from Periadan for my lunch?

Welcome, welcome, <player>. Can I interest you in a Pickled Turgid Leg? Fresh from the barrel! No? Perhaps a Blackened Gruok slab? Charred them myself just this morning.

  • I will take two of the gruok slabs.

Two slabs! A wise choice, my young friend, a wise choice indeed. Here you are, two slabs for the modest price of fifty silver. What do you say?

  • Fifty silver? That is robbery!

Hold on, now, hold on. Did I say fifty? I'm sorry, I meant to say forty. Yes, forty silver. Do we have a deal?

  • Ten silver and not a copper more.

Pah, ten silver. The spices alone cost more than that. Thirty-five silver. Any lower and I'll have to fly to the mountains to get more gruok instead of using the travel gates.

  • Twenty silver. Final offer.

Acquire two slabs of Blackened Gruok from Periadan the Pawnbroker in Chiconis

Ugh... You drive a hard bargain, <player>, but I guess I could use the exercise. Twenty silver it is.

Ah, there you are. I had begun to worry that you got lost. I can smell the food you brought. Shall we enjoy it first?

  • Yes, here are the slabs.

Oh, thank you <player>. Blackened Gruok, nothing like it. I think it might be my favorite food. I hope you bought some for yourself, it is quite tasty.

  • Did you make progress on the emerald?

Yes, of course, to business. Time to savor our food later. I did, in fact, <player>. I was able to imbue this emerald with some magical properties. Unfortunately, I am not even half or a quarter as good as the individual who created the original.

  • I'm sure you did a great job.

Return to Ahassunu with the Blackened Gruok Slabs

Thank you, <player>. Now, unlike the original, you will need to consume this crystal to gain its benefits. Obviously that will destroy it, so you will need to create more. I have the formula right here that you can use and some samples.
