Ryson Stormbringer, the Hero who sacrificed himself at the Battle of Tazoon, seems to be bound to you somehow. Together, you have uncovered a Withered Aegis plot and have rushed to stop a magical ritual from being performed within the Inner Sanctum of an ancient Saris temple known as the Kiatar.


Quest text[edit]

Proceed further into the Inner Sanctum

Yes, something is definitely wrong. Let us proceed, <player>, but be wary. There is more happening here than we know. Let us not run blindly into a fight we might not have any hope of winning.

Proceed straight ahead, <player>, but be careful.

Do you see the ritual circle, <player>? And the pylons, surrounding it. Yes, definitely a powerful ritual.

This is curious and oddly familiar. A summoning, I believe. Surprised? Do not be. I once saw Meira perform a summoning on at least two occasions.

Meira always said that rituals such as this were delicate and that the most powerful practitioners would sometimes use symbols of protection to prevent unintended disruptions to their fragile work.

The symbol in the center is most definitely one of these, but do you also see the symbols beneath the pylons? Yes, I'm afraid they are also protected. A curious setup, one which causes me to believe that the pylons serve a central role in this ritual. If they could be destroyed...


Speak with Ryson

We must find some way to damage these pylons, <player>, if we are to interrupt the ritual. Let us explore this ancient fortress further, perhaps together we can discover something of use. You passed stairs on your way in that lead to the galleries above us, let us use those to avoid the center of this chamber for now.


Explore the Chamber of Devotion

Game Feedback: A powerful, dark essence shaper lies in the center of the room. You see and feel nothing else here that might serve a use.


Explore the Chamber of Resistance

Game Feedback: Strange wisps float here. You see and feel nothing else here that might serve a use.


Explore the Chamber of Wisdom

A library... I would not have expected that here. I sense something... something of great power. Search this chamber's stacks, <player>, what we seek is surely hidden within.

Game Feedback: You see a fragment of a book on the floor before you... something about the name on it catches your eye... Galt.

Game Feedback: You sense nothing in this section of the library.

Game Feedback: You sense nothing in this section of the library.

Game Feedback: You see nothing here but mounds of debris and numerous spider webs!

Game Feedback: You sense nothing in this section of the library.

Game Feedback: You examine the orb but nothing happens.

What is this on the floor? A fragment of a book... This looks important, <player>.


Search the Chamber of Wisdom

Game Feedback: Something about this section catches your attention. The books... they seem new while the others in the library had nearly all decayed from age!


Talk to Spirit of Ryson Stormbringer

What do you see, <player>? *he looks at the wall of books* These appear to brand new... How odd. Wait... Power, vast power. It is here, <player>, behind this wall. An illusion perhaps?


Enter the Hidden Chamber

Inside this chest, <player>, is something that might be of use. A source of power, somehow linked to the Realm of Twilight. I can feel it, hear it even. It is whispering... whisper... no... she's dead. No!


Recover the Shard of Twilight from the Massive Chest

Game Feedback: You have recovered the Shard of Twilight.

Game Feedback: You see an old knife laying nearby... Maybe this will be of use!

Game Feedback: As you recover the Shard of Twilight from the chest, a nightmarish creature appears and attacks!


Talk to Spirit of Ryson Stormbringer

  • he smiles* Pardon my weakness a moment ago, <player>. My link to the Prime is sometimes tenuous and leaves me subject to... well, let us just say that standing this close to a Shard of Power is dangerous to my current form.

Speak with Ryson

Who knew that any Shards of Power still existed, <player>. Most were lost or destroyed centuries ago. This one, however... Locked away here in this ancient fortress, hidden behind a false wall. Fortune shines upon us!
