Symbol of Istara

You have recovered Holy Symbols from three ancient tombs across the Dalimond Peninsula. Now, Bishop Adan Orlas of the Clerical Order is concerned about the Holy Symbol located within the desecrated Tomb of Ashlander Vandus.

Quest text[edit]

Adan tells you, <player>, word of your efforts has reached my ears. You recovered three Symbols of Istara from desecrated tombs, preventing their destruction or misuse! That is quite a feat and one which will be remembered. The Archbishop speaks highly of you and of your efforts on the Order's behalf.

Adan tells you, Cleric, one Symbol yet remains in a desecrated tomb... One Symbol that is more precious than the others, that is also more powerful than the others! And we must recover it and quickly. That symbol lies within the Tomb of Ashlander Vandus and I hear you are seeking it out on behalf of the Archbishop, no?

Adan tells you, I thought as much. That is good, to remove the corruption in the tomb. But you must recover the Symbol, <player>, or the consequences could be dire. The Symbol placed within the Tomb of Ashlander Vandus is a powerful artifact. We do not know its exact powers, but manuscripts of the time talk of power of the Spirit and of the Outer Realms.

Adan tells you, Power of this sort cannot be let into the hands of the Withered Aegis or the Lich King! So the Symbol must be recovered or all could be lost. Go to the Tomb, <player>, and recover the Symbol. It will be in the deepest part of the tomb, perhaps within the sarcophagus of Ashlander himself. The Archbishop has given me leave to hand this relic to you for use in recovering the Symbol. Legend claims that this key opens the Burial Chest of King Vandus himself! I do not know the truth of it, but it cannot hurt to try it for yourself.

You have received 1 Gem-Encrusted Key.

Adan tells you, You found it! Well done, <player>. Yes, this is the artifact. Can you feel the power it contains? More than I thought possible for a mere artifact. If the Lich King had obtained this, Istaria might well be doomed!
