Badge of Merrasat

You recovered a strange badge from the remains of a leader of the Scorched Legion. Now, Ranger Elasses is concerned about their presence in the forest and wants you to travel into the Deep Forest looking for her companion and perhaps more trouble.


Quest text[edit]

I have been giving this badge some consideration, <player>. As you can see faintly on the surface, the badge was once covered with an ancient symbol of Merrasat, one not used for many centuries. You say you found it on the remains of the skeleton called Tarn?

  • Yes. How would he have obtained it?


There is an ancient temple in the deep forest. The presence of Tarn and others of the Scorched Legion this far into the forest combined with this badge may mean they have taken over that temple. This is most concerning and we must learn more about the movements and status of the undead.

  • I can scout further into the forest.

Speak with Ranger Elasses

That won't be necessary, <player>, but I do thank you for the offer. Another member of my order, Kishar, ventured further into the forest before me. Find him, he may have more answers. He turned from my path near the Ancient Stones and headed west into the deeper forest. Take this with you to show to Kishar.

Well, this is a surprise. What brings you this far into the forest, <player>?

  • Elasses suggested I speak with you about an ancient temple and the undead.

Search for Ranger Kishar in the Deep Forest. Start by heading to the Ancient Stones and follow the path to the west.

Well, she was right to send you here. However, I have a more pressing problem at this moment... spiders!


Defeat the ambush!

Game Feedback: The spiders wanted to add you on the menu but you were harder to chew than they expected.

Oh, thank Merrasat you were here <player>. That many of those spiders would have done me in, or chased me away. Now, you said you had a badge to look at and discuss?

  • Yes, a Badge of Merrasat is what Elasses called it. Please take a look at it.

Hm. Yes, this is most certainly an ancient symbol of the goddess. You say you took this from one of the undead?

  • Yes, a skeleton called Tarn.

Tarn? The Withered Aegis are reanimating our ancient tales now, it would seem. That is a tale for another time, however. If you took this badge from Tarn near the Ancient Stones, then it's likely they took it from the temple.

  • What can we do about it?

Speak with Ranger Kishar

Here, you can have this badge back and maybe find a use for it. Regarding the temple, please allow me a moment to consider this, <player>.
