Chunk of Reklar's Flesh

Vargas is enlisting you one last time to help on the front against Reklar's army.

Quest text[edit]

Step: Acquire ten (10) chunks of Reklar's flesh.

The Empire is hounding us for more research, <player>, but I fear we are running out of information to give. Our scouts and spies can only watch, while you are truly our only combatant able to defeat this beast. His past only supplies so much - if we were able to physically study him, rather than from second reports, we would be far faster. I beg you, face the monster once more. When he falls, take a piece of him before he's brought back to fight again.

Game Feedback: You have collected a chunk of Reklar's rotten flesh.

Game Feedback: The slimy chunks of meat are disgusting in your hands, but invaluable for the Empire. They better reward you handsomely for this.


Step: Wait for Vargas to receive a reply to his report. It may take some time.

Fantastic! <player>, this will be more helpful than you know. Never before have we been able to study the makeup of this beast. The dirtiest work can lead to the most beautiful of discoveries. I must report to the Empire's council - and I will be clear about how much you have assisted us.

Game Feedback: Vargas should have his response by now.


Step: Return to Vargas the Bold.

The Council has responded to my letter. It requests to elevate our studies to the upper echelons of alchemists and mages! There is only so much we can do with field studies at our mere outpost, but it seems this fight is out of our hands. All thanks to you, <player>. Of course, they did not forget about you. In return for your valiant efforts, the Empire has awarded you this.

  • What is it?

It is a memory crystal from the times of Ashlander Vandus. The dragons have kept it to themselves, as it depicts the Battle of Bayn Hill. Dragons view their defeats as moments of shame - doubly so when it depicts an attempt at subjugation. Within, you can observe the battle between Lieutenant Reklar and Ashlander Vandus. It's believed that you may be able to glean more of the tactics used in this crystal than any else could.


Step: Gaze into the Memory Crystal of Vandus.

Game Feedback: The scenes of the ancient battle flash through your mind. Vandus' expert footwork, Reklar's lithe motions. The dragon in life makes you realise how much of a ghost of his former self he truly is. As Vandus' own sword rends flesh and scale, you realize all of your killings are a mercy to the tortured soul.

Game Feedback: <player> has glimpsed into the past and earned the title of Vandus' Sword!
