Quest text[edit]

The dangers here in the dark caverns are considerable and each of the denizens of this lightless place can be deadly. I was gravely wounded and poisoned by one of the giant scorpions that lurk in the dark. We were unprepared for the strength of the venom and I quickly knew the end was near.

  • <continue>

With my dying breath I handed the Thom'Dorogath to Ganesh and asked him to use it in service to my people. I believed then and now that in the hands of one such as he, the Axe would be a formidable weapon indeed!

  • Ganesh did not return to Aughundell.

No, he would not. I knew him for but a short time, but his manner suggested that he would not have given up on his mission even after I fell in battle. So, too, you must continue searching for him. Not just for the Axe or for my people, but for the fate of all of the Living Races.

  • <continue>

If other Artifacts do remain in these caverns then they are likely found deeper into the darkness. How far these caverns go, neither I nor Ganesh knew, but I do know that there are older and fouler things in this place than you have seen before!

  • Fouler than giant scorpions or the undead?

Listen to Lord Dralnok

Rest assured, you will find out. Follow Ganesh's footsteps, <player>, and you will recover the Axe. We will not meet again for Brobbet calls me to stand before the Tribunal. I will heed his call. Farewell and May Brobbet's Justice Preserve You.


Follow Ganesh's Footsteps into the Deep

Game Feedback: You have discovered the remnants of a campsite. The bodies of two Dwarves lie here, their faces twisted in agony. The path continues deeper into the Deep.


Continue following Ganesh's Footsteps

Game Feedback: Before an ancient portal that appears to be inactive you find the remnants of another campsite with the body of a dwarf laying near an old firepit. Other items including bedrolls and a pack lay nearby. You begin searching the campsite for clues.


Searching the Campsite

Game Feedback: In the pack you find a journal of some sort, written in a script you are not familiar with. The name on the cover reads "Ganesh Hulgrath". You can see that pages from the journal are missing. If you want a complete picture of his journey you must recover these pages.


Recover the ten (10) missing pages of Ganesh's Journal from the denizens of the Deep before returning to Aughundell

Game Feedback: Ganesh's Journal is now complete. Return to Gulnor the Elder with it.

You have returned, but I see from the look on your face that your search was not entirely successful. What happened?

  • <You relay the story of Dralnok and Ganesh.>

Ganesh Hulgrath? I would not have expected one of The Protectorate to be there, but if, as you say, he was there searching for Artifacts of Power that the Dryad hid in the caverns long ago... I suppose I can see the logic of joining forces.

  • The Thom'Dorogath appears to be lost.


Yes, it would seem so. For now. To think that the King gave it to Ganesh freely. You mentioned that you found it before an ancient portal?

  • Yes, at a campsite, but it had been abandoned for quite some time.

Return to Gulnor the Elder in Aughundell with the re-assembled journal and 10 pages and Ganesh's Journal

This is most strange, most strange indeed.

Game Feedback: He flips through the pages of the journal.
