Clues:
- Clues are written on the tapestries in the Monastery.
- In a monk’s cell, left of entry:
A thick tapestry hangs from the wall. Although ancient and dusty, the beauty of the tapestry is breathtaking. The heavy wall hanging is decorated with life-like images of wyrms and their kin slithering in their darkened caves. In the middle of the cloth a massive, black draconic form towers over the smaller wyrms. The glint of gold catches your eye near one corner of the tapestry. (shattered hilt)
- Tapestry, left off entry:
Shadowy, pale forms writhe in agony over the entire surface of this spooky tapestry. The thick film of dust and obvious age of the wall hanging only make the images that much creepier. How did this macabre tapestry find its way onto the wall of a monastery? Usually such a theme would have clerics banishing the undead horrors... but only the horrors themselves are evident in images. A tiny glint of silvery metal catches your eye from near the bottom of the tapestry. (tarnished shards)
- Tapestry, right off entry:
Thick dust falls away from the tapestry, swirling in motes in the thick shaft of light that bathes the wall hanging from a distant window. The image on the tapestry is itself very simple. Rays of golden light focusing on a marble altar on a hilltop. Priests are building walls around the altar to protect it from the elements. (ray of hope)
- Tapestry, left of entry, in cell:
A thick coat of dust covers the ancient tapestry. The elegant needlework shows an elaborate design. Dark, sinuous forms swim in a sea of deep red. They blindly seek the naked body of a hapless adventurer in the top corner of the tapestry. There appears to be something sewn into the hand of the adventurer... Maybe a closer inspection will make the object clear? (consecrated emerald)
- Master Clue (In Cathedral, Sanctuary)
A short note has been written on the scrap of vellum in the flowing script often practiced by Church scribes. The lettering is still easy to read, even after the long years since the note was written.
Lady Evalynn, We have found clues to your family's heritage. That which was lost to your house during the great War may be restored, but only if the pieces are brought together by a valiant champion to be used as a weapon of the Light once more. Even though the Divine might of the Avenger has surely been lost to us forever, it would be a glorious talisman even as a mortal blade in the hands of a pure soul in our never-ending fray with the Dark. Seek out the clues to our ancient heritage in one of our holy places. Travelers seldom visit there, now that the Dragon Sea has given forth navigable shipping lanes. Should I be gone when you arrive, I will have left the knowledge you seek. Look for it in plain sight and you are sure to find that for which you quest.
Required Items:
- Shattered Golden Hilt (enraged drake, Drake Isle)
- Consecrated Emerald (leech, Butchery Vat, New Thalos)
- Shards of a tarnished silvery sword (Cartilage Beast, Wamphyr Aerie Vats, Basement)
- Vial of divinely blessed holy water (Grim, Werith's Wayhouse)
- Ray of Hope (In front of the altar, Dais, Monastery)
General Quest Strategies:
- To obtain the Consecrated Emerald, defeat one of the leeches in New Thalos. Pick the trapdoor lock in the Butchery, located on the eastern side of the NT Central Square. For each zone reset (NT reset is every 25 minutes - occupied), the Butchery Vat will load a Monster Leech and two to four leech minions. If a Monster Leech occupies the room on zone reset, two to four additional leech minions are added, until the maximum number of leech minions, 16, is reached. If you have a low AC tank, park in the room and absorb hits as you farm. The Monster Leech is not aggro!, and your cleric can be PFE. Calm the leech minions before tackling the Monster Leech, or alternatively, send a mirrored Bard to sleep the Monster Leech. This is an !exit room, so park your summoner outside the !magic Butchery.
- To obtain the flickering Ray of Hope, pray at the Altar in the Monastery west of New Thalos. located through the Entryway, along the Center Aisle, and up onto the Dais.
- Find the Cartilage Beast and the Shards of a Tarnished Silvery Sword in the Vats in Wamphyr Aerie. The Vats are just east past Zek Foener on the lower levels of the Aerie. Open the unlocked door east the Smelly Tunnel and calm the occupants before tackling the Beast.
- The Enraged Drake holds the Shattered Golden Hilt. Traverse the Foul Cave to the Drake Rookery. The drake is aggro!
- Grim is located in the Wayhouse, on the second floor, opposite Werith's Room. Have a thief pick the lock. The occupants are aggro! Defeat him and secure the Vial of Holy Water. Beware the zone resets occupied, and the door will close and lock. Keep your summoner outside the Angry Adventurers just in case the zone resets while you're sifting through corpses.
