You recoverd a rare artifact from an ancient dragon ruin atop the Dalimond Ridge. At Khalatorin's request you took the crystal to Karane the Historian to learn more about it and about the Dragons who created it. Karane suggested that you learn more about the ruin itself by looking into the Archives.

Quest text[edit]

<player>, you must research these ruins so that we may learn more about the Dragons that lived there. There may be much more to this ruin than we suspect! Normally you would just look through my Archives, but I am afraid the material you seek has been loaned out. You must retrieve them before you can proceed.




Welcome, <player>. What do you seek? My aid? My knowledge? The Tome of Races? Oh. *he seems a little disappointed* Yes, I have it and you may return it to Karane. The Tome of Races contains information about each of the Living Races of Istaria. While we Dragons are indeed the Superior Race, it is wise to learn about those whom you will fight or befriend or rule. To be able to predict their actions with a degree of accuracy is a must if we are to survive.

You have received 1 Tome of Races.




Greetings, <player>. What brings you to Chiconis this fine day? An errand from Karane, you say? Well, well. Yes, I borrowed the Tome of Ages from her some time ago. Are you familiar with it? The Tome of Ages is a comprehensive reference to the Ages of Istaria. This volume covers the last thousand years. Some of the older volumes have been lost over the centuries and others contain little more than myth and legend. I am finished with this volume, so you may take it back to Karane for me.

You have received 1 Tome of Ages.




<player>, are you always so loud? Can you not see that I am trying to study? *he snorts* Since you are here... What can I do for you? The Tome of Magic? *he glances over at a stack of Tomes* Yes, I have it. Karane wishes to have it back, does she? Very well, though I may come and retrieve it again soon. I have not completed my study of the effects of... Well, nevermind that. This Tome covers much about the magic that we Dragons have learned over the millennia. Do not let it fall into the hands of those who are not trusted! We trusted the humans once, long ago, and that is how they learned magic. We must be more careful now.

You have received 1 Tome of Magic.




<player>, I see that you have the Tomes I sent you to retrieve. Good. Now, let me study these briefly to locate what you seek.
