Quest text[edit]

Step: Listen to Lantenal's ramblings.

<player>, thank you for coming. A theory hatched in my head like an eager newborn that found its egg tooth. What if it is the magic of the Riftrender that holds the memory to the Peak? If you are not familiar, or do not remember, Elial was a monstrous human that wielded a fabled sword known as the Riftrender. This sword could tear reality itself. Sleeper's Peak once held a massive statue of silver, a dragon, who many swore was alive many millennia ago alongside Drulkar.

When Elial struck the Sleeper's talon with his sword, her indestructible and immovable silver talons, a paradox occurred. The sword could not stop, and the object could not move. The Prime reacted by removing the issue, casting the two into the void and ruining the Peak. To this day, dragons cannot grow naturally due to this calamity.

  • (Continue)

The Riftrender was made by a human named Kon, a powerful wizard. Elial was simply the man chosen to wield it in his wars. Leave it to humans to lose such a powerful artifact so easily! But the tale stuck with me. If the universe wished to prevent this from happening - to remove the error - why would it send both the Riftrender and the Sleeper to the same place?

  • (Continue)

If both were in the same place, it could happen again, could it not? If Elial found a way to survive in the void, then he could strike the Sleeper again. So now, I wonder. Perhaps some of the Riftrender's magic was left in this Realm. As it is a sword, it needed a wielder, forming the last owner it had. This memory of Elial is truly a memory of the Riftrender!

  • Do you think we could destroy or disperse the magic of the sword?

Step: Defeat the Memory of Elial the Mercenary ten (10) times.

That is my wonder. If we focus on the sword, perhaps we could remove the memory. I have spoken enough today. My throat is starting to get dry! So please, enter the portal and try to destroy the sword.

Game Feedback: Despite your best efforts, the sword vanishes into the mists like the rest of his body upon death. Whether Lantenal is right or not is unclear, but one thing is - the sword cannot be isolated to be destroyed.


Step: Return to Lantenal the Hermit.

You couldn't destroy the sword? That is... depressing, truly. My theory was so sound! Perhaps I missed a detail. <He sighs.> I fear what may happen if the sword were to strike the Sleeper again. That is, if they share the same space. Time is lost enough as it is for dragons. Would we freeze like Kaiyar once was, leaving behind stone husks? Ack, I ramble. Thank you. I will have to think about this.
