The Cult of Nazderon has spread its influence far and wide across the deserts south of the Ruin of Tazoon. Shau sent you to rescue his wife from the High Priest, but she doesn't appear to need rescuing and has demanded you defeat her in the arena in order to convince her to meet her husband.

Quest text[edit]

Are you sure? Some have tried, none have succeeded because Taur-el is skilled and deadly. Shau chose well so many years ago. He is the only one to defeat her... It is the way of things, yes? I ask you again, are you ready?

  • I am ready.

Prepare yourself then. When you are ready, enter and fight.

You've defeated Taur-el. She whispers "I will follow you to Shau." before slipping away out of the arena.


Shau tells you, Well, <player>, were you able to free Taur-el from the High Priest?

Taur-el tells you, You know me better than that, Shau. You know they could not imprison me if I did not wish it. Did you think I had grown weak?

Shau tells you, *he laughs* No, not at all, my heart. I feared they might have a mystical hold on you.

Taur-el tells you, Pfah, they would not dare. Do not worry yourself, they had no hold on me that I did not wish.

Shau tells you, No hold... what are you saying, Taur-el?

Taur-el tells you, I am here because of the persistence of this Saris who bested me in combat.

Shau tells you, You were not imprisoned... you came only after defeat in combat. *his eyes narrow*

Taurel tells you, You were a fool to have exposed yourself, my husband. The priests will not allow you to live... you know that as well as I.

Shau tells you, You are right, my wife. I believed they would send an assassin for me once they discovered I lived... I simply did not expect it to be you.

*retches!!!!!* plueghhhh......the coil on my vape just went halfway thru an inhale......*wretches*

Pathfinding has faded.

To send my own wife to kill me... what have we become. What had she become. <player>, you fulfilled our bargain and brought my wife here to me. You could not have known her motivations. Here, take the BattleStone and stop Nazderon.

You have received 1 Shau's Battlestone.


Welcome back, <player>! Did you obtain what you sought from this Shau?

  • A Welger BattleStone he claims can defeat Welger blood-magic.

Fascinating! Well done, <player>.
