The Cult of Nazderon has spread its influence far and wide across the deserts south of the Ruin of Tazoon. You have slain many of the cultists to try and slow their recruitment of willing and unwilling individuals. Now, Zalikhet wants you to prepare for a greater challenge when facing the greater portion of the Cult itself.
Quest text[edit]
Well done, Monk. The cultists will think twice about coming close to my campsite now. The Cult, even back in my day, never recruited the swiftest amongst the villagers.
What now?
Do you know much of the one called Nazderon, <player>?
A little, not much
I thought as much. Nazderon was a powerful sorcerer, <player>, though that may be an understatement. He was perhaps the most powerful sorcerer that has ever lived, so powerful in fact that his power and schemes allowed him to cheat death... but, I get ahead of myself.
Nazderon rose out of one of a dozen small villages that dotted the desert in those days, more than a thousand years ago. We were under the yoke of Dragonkind at that time, though in truth they paid little attention to us.
Over the years, there were rumors of villagers being taken by the dragons, never to be seen again. Nobody knew why they were selected nor what happened to them and it had never happened in my lifetime, until Nazderon. He was taken by a dragon we know now was called Mellohndar and in the city of the Dragons was taught powerful magic.
After years he took the knowledge he had gained and fled back to the desert. However, instead of returning to his village he formed a Cult and recruited followers, fanatics, to help him build a great city of towers and temples and surrounded by high walls.
You know the tale of his rise, fall and return, I am sure, and so I will not repeat it. Nevertheless, it was his cult that helped his rise to power that also helped with his return. His defeat by the Gifted did not stop those fanatics still loyal from plotting and so here we are to this day.
Whew, talking out here in the heat is thirsty work. Would you be so kind as to retrieve some fresh water from Kaiyar's well for me, <player>? I much prefer its taste to water from anywhere else. I would be in your debt.
You've reached the camp, but Zalikhet is nowhere to be found. The Cult symbol on the tent is an ominous sign.
Steps[edit]
- Speak with Zalikhet
- Fetch some fresh water from the well in Kaiyar for Zalikhet (you will need an Istarian Army Knife or Dragon Inuition ability for this)
- Return with the water to Zalikhet at her camp in the desert southeast of Kaiyar
Rewards[edit]
