Quest text[edit]

Stromba tells you, <player>, I would speak with you about the cult and these so-called prophets. Would you spare a moment of your time for an old wizard?


Yes, I have a moment. What about the cult?

Stromba tells you, I could not help but overhear your conversation with Teanna and Sebpherut about the Cult and this plague. The temple complex of which Sebpherut spoke still resides south of this village, but it has been obscured by the great sandstorm.


The cult is there now?


Stromba tells you, It is highly likely that they have taken up residence in the temples to Nazderon, in the place where he once held power and sway. What better place, I ask, to grow your cult and message, but one where you are hidden from sight and shielded not only by the desert but by the storm.


What should we do?

Stromba tells you, The cult cannot be allowed to grow unchecked, <player>, and the claims of Nazderon's imminent return are a great cause for concern. The Enclave, of which I am a member, is worried about knowledge of ancient magics or relics that may still reside within the ruins. We would like you to operate on our behalf. What do you say?


What would you like me to do?

Stromba tells you, I am pleased to hear that you are interested in helping, <player>. The sandstorm rages to the south and so we must be careful if we are to venture into the swirling sands. One of the villagers called Zalikhet offered to meet you there and act as a guide. Travel south along the road and she said you will find her camped. Be swift!


Zalikhet tells you, Did Stromba send you to meet me?


He did

Zalikhet tells you, Good. To the west lies the Great Sandstorm and within are the ancient temples of Nazderon. The Cult has grown more bold in recent weeks and I have seen them from this very camp. I fear they will not remain within the sandstorm.


What should we do?

Zalikhet tells you, The battle must be taken to the cult itself, driving them back. There are cultists roaming the sands seeking willing, or unwilling, sacrifices... much like a millennia ago. Will you do this, <player>?


Yes.

Zalikhet tells you, Good. Enter the sandstorm, kill the Cult Recruiters, and then return here to me.

You've slain sufficient recruiters for Zalikhet.

Zalikhet tells you, Well done, <player>. The cultists may think twice about abducting anyone in the future.
