Quest text[edit]

Speak with Sergeant Gortan Silvershield

I should have asked, but did you learn anything of use for your own investigation?

  • (You summarize what you found to Gortan)

I don't know much about the cults of Scorpus or Telak, but I have heard rumors of another cult that operates south of the Ruin in the sands. Lieutenant Elderincus likely knows more about it than I.

Welcome back, <player>. I hope you have uncovered the mystery of the explosion or verified it was an accident. Either way, what news?

  • (You tell him about Brilthor, the hooded figures and Gortan)

Return to the Imperial Army Camp and speak with Lieutenant Elderincus about the hooded figures Brilthor saw

Well, that is quite the tale. <player>, perhaps you were not aware, but there is another cult operating in the region. South of Kaiyar in the sandstorm a cult that worships Nazderon has been growing in popularity and strength over the last few months. As fortune would have it, two cultists are down near the barricade below this camp. You might speak with them about this matter, but first speak with Sergeant Andoraith.

Good day, <player>. What can I help you with?

  • Lieutenant Elderincus mentioned that you had two cultists here at the gate I might speak with.

Speak with Sergeant Andoraith at the barricade below the Imperial Army Camp

Yes, indeed we do. We found them near the barricade unconscious and so we moved them here for protection, but when they awoke they seemed confused. They spoke of the rising of a new god and got very agitated and aggressive. We managed to calm them down and convince them to remain for a bit until the threat of the Welger has passed.


Speak with the Mysterious Cultist

He will rise and you will all be destroyed.


Speak with the Strange Cultist

Leave us, fool.


Speak with Sergeant Andoraith

They don't seem very talkative, do they. I wonder who they are mumbling about... No matter, <player>, I will have them transferred back to the camp so that the Lieutenant can speak with them as well.


Return to the Imperial Army Camp and speak with Lieutenant Elderincus

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Ah, good, you're back. Did you speak with the cultists?

  • Sergeant Andoraith is having them transferred up here

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Oh, very good.

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Yes, here they are now! It seems you have something to tell us, boys. Your group was seen near the teleport gate just before the explosion at Tazoon.

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, We have nothing to tell you.

Game Feedback: Strange Cultist tells you, We don't care about you. Nazderon will rise and we will follow him and his glory!

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Nazderon? The mummy defeated by the Gifted years ago? That doesn't matter for the moment. What were you doing in Tazoon?

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, ...

Strange Cultist tells you, ...


Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, You choose to stay silent? I can't say I wasn't expecting it. Very well, we will see if your lips stay sealed long. Bring them to us!


Wait for the Cultists and listen to what they have to say


The group moves to the Dragons...

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Let the fun begin. BattleMaster, if you please...

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Who's next? That is what will happen to you if you don't want to talk.

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, Do you really think you can frighten us? Our life belongs to Nazderon, we are not afraid to die!

Game Feedback: Kemalata tells you, I prefer to eat raw. I don't even need to kill, and I start with the legs.

Game Feedback: Talaurukar tells you, You will have the second one.

Game Feedback: Kemalata tells you, Not fair! If he talks, I won't be able to taste him. And I'm hungry.

Game Feedback: Frathoom tells you, Stop bickering again, both of you. I'll flip a coin to decide who will eat first. BattleMaster?

Game Feedback: Talaurukar tells you, As you wish. Face.

Game Feedback: Frathoom tells you, Here goes nothing. Face, you won.

Game Feedback: Lieutenant Bakthor flips a coin.

Game Feedback: Kemalata tells you, Bah...

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, You don't seem to feel well, boy. Do you want to ease your soul by telling us what happened at the gate?

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, I... I don't know anything! Nazderon is with me!

Game Feedback: Frathoom tells you, You know, a consequence of the explosion was the release of the Welger. And they killed one of their kind. These Dragons want revenge.

Game Feedback: Talaurukar tells you, This one will be tastier than the wolf. No fur, and this hood won't resist my breath. I will just enjoy the crisp.

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Oh, BattleMaster! Did you know we dip our meat in a spice blend before roasting it in Tazoon? It adds some extra flavour and it's absolutely delicious! It happens I have a pot of this blend with me. Would you like to taste it?

Game Feedback: Talaurukar tells you, I'm always ready for a gustatory adventure.

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, I don't have enough to dip him into the blend, but I can at least coat him with it. Let's see...

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, Are you serious? You are going to let that... that... beast to roast me for a meal?

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Very serious!

Frathoom tells you, Very serious!

Talaurukar tells you, Very serious!

Kelamata tells you, Very serious!

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, You are insane! Nazderon will avenge me!

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, It is still time to spill the beans: what were you doing at the gate in Tazoon?

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, No... no... I can't say anything!

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, You know, if you don't talk, we still have your friend here. My patience grows thin and your time is nearly up. This is your last chance before you meet his stomach!

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, Aaaah! Fine! I talk! I talk! Don't kill me!

Game Feedback: Strange Cultist tells you, Traitor!

Game Feedback: Guard tells you, Silence!

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, We are all ears...

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, I don't know much. We received orders.

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, From who?

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, I don't know. We had to bring a heavy bag near the teleport gate of Tazoon and stay there to make sure nobody would take it. We were forbidden to open it so I don't know about its content. We were supposed to stay there until we got further orders.

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, How did you leave Tazoon?

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, Both of us were asked by our group leader to return to the camp to report about our mission. Shortly after we left Tazoon by the south gate, there was an explosion and we felt its blast hard. We could only walk a few meters before we collapsed. When we woke up, we were in this camp. I don't know anything more.

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Where is your camp?

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, I won't tell you!

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, BattleMaster?

Game Feedback: Mysterious Cultist tells you, Enough, enough! You will find it on the ridge to the north.

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Fine. Guards! Lock these two idiots in a cage. And toss the key.

Game Feedback: Frathoom tells you, This cult is more dangerous than we realized.

Game Feedback: Talaurukar tells you, What a pity! I would have really wanted to taste your spices blend...

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Ha, ha, ha! I will prepare some Gruok Flanks à la Tazoon just for you. I may be a soldier, but I'm also quite a good cook!

Game Feedback: Kelamata tells you, I would like to taste it too...

Game Feedback: Elderincus tells you, Then I will cook for both of you! Well, it seems we won't find Gruoks for a while after this.

Game Feedback: He snickers.
