This quest begins at Ryson located in Inner Sanctum.
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]
Ryson tells you, 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.
Ryson tells you, Do you see the ritual circle, <player>? And the pylons, surrounding it. Yes, definitely a powerful ritual.
Ryson tells you, 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.
Ryson tells you, 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.
Ryson tells you, 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...
Ryson tells you, 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.
A powerful, dark essence shaper lies in the center of the room. You see and feel nothing else here that might serve a use.
Strange wisps float here. You see and feel nothing else here that might serve a use.
You see a fragment of a book on the floor before you... something about the name on it catches your eye... Galt.
Ryson tells you, 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.
Something about this section catches your attention. The books... they seem new while the others in the library had nearly all decayed from age!
Ryson tells you, 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?
Ryson tells you, Inside this chest, Carmelia, 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!
You have recovered the Empty Shard of Twilight.
You see an old knife laying nearby... Maybe this will be of use!
As you recover the Shard of Twilight from the chest, a nightmarish creature appears and attacks!
Ryson tells you, *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.
Ryson tells you, 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!
