Introduction
Alright well welcome to the wide, expansive, sprawling, fantasy world of Sacred
2! It is going to be a long, tough journey, with only your instincts, moral
compass, trigger finger, and myself, your humble guide, standing between you
and death in the form of a horde of slavering monsters and horrible conspiracy!
The world of Sacred 2, or Arcania as we'll call it from here on out, is tipping
on the brink of conflict. There is this stuff called T-energy, which is
basically magic. From this point on we shall refer to it as moonjuice,
because that is hilarious. The Seraphim guarded it since time immemorial, and
then one day decided to pass it off to the High Elves. HUGE mistake! The elves
used it to further their civilization, and the other peoples warred against
them. Because of their vast reserves of moonjuice, however, the High Elves won.
The war totalled the continent, caused the High Elves to build this huge wall
to keep out humans, and triggered an ongoing High Elf civil war which could
bubble over into larger conflict at any time.
To add to this, moonjuice, which was originally a power for creation, is
growing out of control and poisoning the lands. It's a delicate time for the
land, and one in which a hero or villain could cause a huge change. YOU ARE
THAT HERO OR VILLAIN. Let's get to it!
===============================================================================
[NTS]
Opening Notes
**SPECIAL THIRD EDITION NOTE**
Alright well obviously this game is enormous, and any document which purports
to be a general walk-through will have to be likewise enormous. I have tried
to focus this guide into condensing and summarizing the information into
useful categories. The main part of this guide will be the locations, as they
will detail everywhere your character can go, along with what can be done
there. Some quests are really hard to find, and this will help with that too.
ALRIGHT troops! Bacter has completed a single, triumphant run through the game.
Here I present to you what I earnestly believe to be everything that there is
to do as a Light-aligned Temple Guardian who worships Lumen.
I now plan to work through as a Shadow Dryad, to see what quests are only
available to dark aligned characters, and to get the Dryad specific quests.
WHAT YOU GET by helping me: You get to not have to do all this crap that I
just did. It is way easier to write down differences than note everything.
You also get EXTENSIVE credits for helping, not just at a little section
in the bottom. I'll put you on the TOP.
WHAT I GET: I don't have to do the stuff you do.
I'd like this to be the framework we build an excellent guide off of.
Please note that I know I skipped some numbers in the quests, but re-writing
it is such a pain I'm saving it for the next ed. Sorry!
**END OF SPECIAL EDITION QUOTES**
* Ok so this is a fun game but it is also enormous. There is a ton to see and
to do, so it might behoove you to get a little familiar with the shape of my
guide. I have tried to keep redundant information out as much as possible, so
I have divided up the guide essentially by region. In each region you can find
things to do, people to know, and monsters to kill. I have obviously summarized
a lot here. There are hundreds of encounters I don't detail, simply because
that would make this guide SO massive.
* For explanations of what various attributes do and which skills are more or
less worthwhile, check the strategy section.
* Lexicon: I am using a few terms of my own to substitute for the game's terms.
These include:
Moonjuice: T-energy
Follow Your Nose: Look at the minimap to see the quest circle. Go there
* I just felt that, since this didn't fit well in any other section, I wanted
to make it a matter of public record here that I find the character
customization hilarious. You can change the hair color to like three different
colors, and make it short or long. Woooo!
* In sections where I detail things by race, I always follow the left-to-right
order that you can pick characters in on the loading screen: Seraphim, Dryad,
Shadow Warrior, Inquisitor, High Elf, Temple Guardian. If you are having
trouble finding your race, that's the order they are going to be in.
* I don't have a HDTV, and I found that tinkering with the gamma and the
brightness settings (making each a little higher, specifically) GREATLY
improved the readability of the text. Just saying!
* Beyond a basic description I have left out PVP strategies. I may add this in
a later version but I felt it wasn't truly the domain of a "walkthrough".
===============================================================================
[STR]
Getting Started
Ok so this is the catchall category for getting started. Once you load up the
game you will be prompted to press start. Do so and you move on to getting a
character, after you are told that you need a Gold account to access some
multiplayer features. Up next is the CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN.
Here you see a picture of your character. You can switch classes with the L and
R trigger buttons until you find the one you want. If the options are not
darkened at the bottom of the screen, X changes haircolor and Y changes
hairstyle, though these customization options are somewhat... lacking. Once
that's chosen, press A to accept.
Pick a name, and press start to move on. Next you are prompted to pick a
campaign and a deity. THIS WILL MATTER A GREAT DEAL IN THE GAME. Choose if you
want to be good (light) or evil (chaos). Note that Inquisitors and Seraphim do
not have this choice. Next pick your deity- this can influence some quests and
will change some status boosts you get during the course of the game. See
the gods section and the main walkthrough for light/dark campaigns for more
details.
From this point you are given a menu of options. Note that this will be your
default screen after your first time creating a character!
* Achievements lets you see all the achievements you've earned so far
(which, if you're reading this section, is probably none).
* Leaderboards show the top players for multiplayer online PVP.
* Options lets you adjust game settings such as vibration, camera motion,
and if you want a tutorial, audio settings, and display settings. If
you, like me, don't have an HTTV you might want to tinker around with
display settings to help readability of the text.
* Start game, Continue game, and Select Character are pretty self-
explanatory. You can have up to 8 characters. Note that to create
a new character, go to the "select character" option and hit right
trigger to get to the "create a new character" option.
* Credits for those who like to give credit where it's due and applaud
the creators of this fine game!
When you click Start Game (as you probably should), you are given three
options. Only Create Game relates to the single player experiance, and if you
want the story of the game pick it. Quick Match and Custom Match are for online
PVP experiances, and are covered more in the PVP section.
Under Create game, you can pick if you want New Campaign, which starts you in
the beginning of the game proper with the main quest all laid out before you,
Free World which lets you explore Arcania without all the bother of the main
quest hanging over your head (there are side quests in this mode), or Free
World PVP which lets you brawl PVP style. Since again the bulk of this
walkthrough is centered around the main campaign, not PVP, we will assume
you've picked "New Campaign".
Also present here is the difficulty: it's recommended that you start with
bronze. Each difficulty level requires a character of a certain level to
join, the levels are:
*Bronze, 1-200
*Silver, 1-200
*Gold, 60-200
*Platinum, 100-200
*Niob, 140-200
Also note you must complete a silver campaign to choose a gold campaign, a
gold campaign to complete a platinum campaign, and a platinum campaign to
choose a Niob Campaign.
You can also specify if you want to be on or offline, if you are online
players have the option of joining and some PVP experiances are allowed. Also
set your Join policty to private (where random people can't join), or public,
which lets people join in. Level Gap lets you pick how close to your level you
want people who join the campaign to be. This shouldn't be too large or there
will be problems within the party!
Once that's all set, hit A and you are transported into the world of Arcania.
===============================================================================
[CTL]

===============================================================================
[HUD]
Heads Up Display 101
The HUD is your best friend on the battlefield, quickly summarizing all the
information you need to know to fight well. The main portion of the screen
shows your character, the objects, people, and mosters around him, and, you
know, the stuff they are doing.
On the top right of the screen you will see your portrait surrounded by a
circle, half green and half red. The red half of the circle shows your current
health. You want it to be full, when it empties you are toast. The green half
shows your current experiance. When it fills up, you gain a level!
The bottom-right shows two sets of four circles. The rightmost set of four
circles shows your action slots. These can be switched by the RT and LT buttons
they are activated by pressing the button from the XYAB button set that matches
the position of the circle. These can be changed in the character menu as well.
The leftmost set of circles shows your potion and divine gift slots. The left,
right, and bottom circles show potions while the topmost one shows your divine
gift. These are activated by pressing the arrow key that corresponds to their
position.
In the top-left of your screen is the minimap, which contains all the
information about your immediate surroundings. You may see on it:
Golden arrows: These are main quest quests. Move in the direction they point.
Silver arrows: Side quests
Blue arrows: Special quests specifically for your character type
Red Arrow: An enemy!
Question mark: A quest giver. The color matches the quest type (as above)
Exclamation point: Somebody who is ready to give you a reward. Find them!
Circle: Quest target, you are close to the target for the quest
Bag: Merchant
Hammer and Anvil: Blacksmith
Little symbol that I think looks like a guy shrugging: Runemaster
Horseshoe: Horse Trader
Dark Gray Peg: Inactivated Resurrection Monolith: activate it to resurrect here
Blue Peg: Activated Resurrection Monolith: you'll appear here if you die
Blue Doorway: Teleporter- use these to move around quickly
Dark Stone Door: Entrance to a dungeon
Chest: Hero Chest: Put items in here to pick them up from any hero chest.
===============================================================================
[MNU]
Menus
This section is a quick overview to how to use the options menu, active menu,
and world map. Much of this is covered in the intro tutorial, but I know that
some people don't like taking directions until it's too late :D. That being
said:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Options Menu
The options menu can be accessed at any time by pressing the start button. It
will give access to a variety of menus, which can be toggled back and forth
with the LT and RT buttons. It will not pause the game! The menus are
-Game Options
This menu allows you to turn on and off vibration, adjust the camera angle,
adjust the gore level, and turn on and off the tutorial as well as saving and
leaving the game
-Gameplay
This meuu adjusts damage details (if you are informed of experiance gained by
attacks or all relevant information), how potions are ordered (the most in line
with your alignment first or the strongest first), what should be collected
with the collection button (either everything or various levels of rarity),
and if the hero flag should be active
-Graphics/Sound
These menus allows the player to adjust various graphics and sound options in
the game, much like the main menu options
-Server
This allows for switching between various servers, and joining different games.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Menu
Access this at any time by pressing the RB. It opens a circle on the screen.
From here, the desired menu is chosen by moving the left analog stick in the
direction of the desired menu and releasing the RB. The menus which can be
chosen are:
-Inventory
This menu shows the weapons, armor, relics, miscellaneous items, mounts,
potions, and set values that the character has. The different menus are
navigated between with the left analog stick. Any item can be shown with more
information by pressing the RB.
-Combat Arts
Shows the arts that are available to you and that you have learned. There are
three possible levels per art, and they will be designated by the circles
underneath. Skills that can be added to will not be faded, skills that are
unavailable will be faded. Also at the bottom combinations are shown.
-Quest Log
This shows the various quests you have active. You can select the quest you
would like to be "active", in other words to show pointers on the maps for.
Using the RT you can also get to the books that you've collected and read
them.
-Overview
See a list of basic stats about your character, including alignment, deity,
enemies defeated, times died, experience, etc.
-Atributes
From here you can see your "vital stats": Strength, Stamina, Vitality,
Dexterity, Intelligence, and Willpower.
-Summon Mount
Call your noble steed, or big lizard, or wheel, or whatever it is you ride.
Character Menu
You can access the character menu by getting to either the inventory, overview,
combat arts or combat arts menu. Essentially the character menu is just all of
these menus and also a "skills" menu, which details the skills your character
knows. They are all linked together by the LT and RT buttons.
World Map
Click BK anytime to access the world map. This uses the same symbols
as the minimap. The most useful feature of this map is teleporting. You can
teleport between teleporters anywhere across Arcania, or, in multiplayer games,
you can teleport to the game leader. This can be done anytime, as long as you
are not in immediate danger (IE there are monsters close to you).
===============================================================================
[PVP]
Player Vs. Player and Online Settings
This section is shorter than the singe player walkthrough, both because I am a
shut-in misanthrope who detests human contact and because I feel like there is
less to walk through. The multiplayer experiance was meant to 1) augment the
single player experiance by letting you tackle the challenges with friends, and
2) provide challenges in the form of PVP combat, where you take on other
characters. The main quest is essentially the same (though more social) as the
single player campaign, and PVP is just a romping good time pounding on other
player characters. As such individual style and move sets are going to be much
more important than anything I could tell you. I guess what I'm saying is that
in this guide I'll summarize how to set up PVP, but I'll leave the actual
playing to you, or anybody who wants to publish a "how-to" for creating
uber characters.
The quickest way to set up a multiplayer experiance is with the "continue
playing" option in the main menu. It starts the game in single player, but you
can choose to invite friends too. If you choose "start game", you should choose
to not play alone to allow other characters in. You can start the game as a
single player; players who join will immeditally appear right next to you and
can pick up from there.
If you are the game creator, you must stay in the game or else it will end
(you are essentially the server for all other players), and so it's important
that you have a stable internet connection. Other players can come and go as
they please.
Campaign Mode:
All players who join a campaign are part of the same team, and hence must be
of the same alignment. The only statistics affected by a campaign game are
those of the creator, but any member can start quests or advance the plot.
Free World:
Characters can choose their party, and explore at their leisure. This is not
specifically designed for PVP but does not prohibit it.
Free world PVP:
Every character who joins is a member of a new party, which allows for a battle
royale!
Note that two people playing on the same console can also play with online
characters (i.e. internet play and 2P mode are mutually supported), but two
characters playing on the same console must be on the same team.
Trading:
Two heroes who are in the same game and both online can trade items. One player
must approach the other and press interact, and the other one also presses
interact to confirm. The game is saved and checked, and trading can then take
place.
===============================================================================
[CRS]
Characters
This section deals with the different character types the player can pick,
their powers, mounts, and general strategies. Also included in each are
alignment information and any quests that only one race can specifically
perform.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SRM]
*SERAPHIM: The ancient caretakers of moonjuice, these beautiful warriors are
the essence of goodness and decency. They are tall, beautiful, with long
flowing hair, pupil-less eyes, and ridiculous proportions. She is as
comfortable with a sword as she is with casting a fistful of magic!
-Alignment: Because these beings are the essence of goodness and decency, they
can only choose a good alignment.
-Gods: They can only choose good Gods. That's Lumen, Kybele, or Forens.
-Mount: The Seraphim gets a Sabertooth tiger as a mount. Awesome!
-Moves: The Seraphim has three Tracks to gain moves on: Exalted Warrior for
hack n' slash, Celestial Magic for casters, and Revered Technology for
a Technical player. See the moves section for more details.
-Notes: The Seraphim is a good all-around player for any player type. Fine for
beginners, just make sure you don't want to be evil if you play one!
They are good at casting or fighting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[DRD]
*DRYAD: Archer extrodionaire, the Dryads are High Elves that got sick of the
exploitation of moonjuice and withdrew to western isles to escape the main
High Elf civilization. She focuses on nature magic.
-Alignment: A dryad can choose either good or evil alignment.
-Gods: A dryad can pick any god, depending on what alignment they choose.
-Mount: The Dryad's mount is a giant monitor lizard.
-Moves: A Dryad has three Tracks: Capricious Hunter focuses on ranged battle
powers, Cabilistic Voodoo is dark magic that drains health from
enemies, and Nature Weaver uses status effects to hinder enemies. See
the moves section for more details!
-Notes: Not for beginners! The Dryad has weak magic in the beginning of the
game and learning ranged combat can be tricky. With a little help,
however, the Dryad can be a powerhouse. Also note that this class can
use shrunken heads, which are unique equippable items that give some
kind of status boost. See the heads section for more details.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SWR]
*SHADOW WARRIOR: Oh uh it is angsty zombie time! These guys are the tanks of
the game. They can wear the shiniest armor and wield the biggest hammers. They
were warriors who fought hard during their lives and should have been able to
enjoy the afterlife, but were dragged back by either a High Elf or Inquisitor
for service. They long for the sweet release of death and etc.
-Alignment: Salvation or damnation, it's up to you if you choose a Shadow
Warrior. These can be either alignment.
-Gods: Because they can choose either alignment, Shadow Warriors can choose any
God (appropriate to their alignment)
-Mount: A Shadow Warrior gets a big 'ol angry demon gorilla called a Hellhound.
-Moves: There are three moves tracks, which are all based around hitting your
enemies really, really hard. Death Warrior is not subtle, it is just
the "hit them harder than they hit you by a lot" track. Malevolent
Champion is for your more agile brutes, and Astral Lord lets you call
up your dead buddies to help you out. See the moves section for more
details!
-Notes: This is the ultimate beginner class (it is also awesome, so don't take
"beginner" to mean "only for newbies"). You can get access to really
fun weapons/armor, and bashing your enemies never really gets old!
Don't look to be an arch-mage, you're focused on physical damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INQ]
*Inquisitor: Yeah nobody really doubts that these guys are evil. Not ONLY do
they wear black robes and skulk around, they insist on saying things like how
they are really intelligent and so should be able to do whatever they want to
"lesser races". That's pretty troubling. Also there is the whole "can only
choose evil alignment" thing. Well anyway, these guys are fine casters and fun
to play if you don't mind being a jerk! They LOVE the moonjuice, as much as the
dryads hate it.
-Alignment: The nefarious and vile Inquisitor can only choose evil alignment.
-Gods: Owing as to how they are so vile and all, they can only choose dark Gods
Those are Testa, Kuan, and Ker.
-Mount: One of the coolest parts about the Inquisitor for sure, they get a huge
spider to ride around on.
-Moves: The Inquisitor has three tracks, all horrible and focused on different
elements of fighting. Gruesome Inquisition is good for the offensive
meleer, Astute Supremacy is the magic track and focuses on offensive
magic, and Nefarious Netherworld focuses on battlefield management,
draining enemies and using corpses as weapons.
-Notes: The Inquisitor is an offensive powerhouse, good at doing damage and
not stopping. In tougher battles healing can be an issue, but if you
manage him well he can usually drain enough health to keep himself
going. A fun class and good for intermediate players.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[HLF]
*High Elf: The jerks who started this whole mess to begin with. They are the
true casters of this game. Steeped in moonjuice, power can fly from them like
none other. They have studied for a lifetime, and they are just SO SICK of
books. They want to get out and BURN stuff, you know?
-Alignment: You can be good or evil as a High Elf, which goes to show the race
isn't all bad! Just a little power hungry...
-Gods: Take your pick: the High Elf can choose any god! They are of course
restrained by their alignment.
-Mount: The High Elf gets the somewhat adorable wind serpent. It's ickle!
-Moves: All 3 movesets for the High Elf are based around magic and casting
magic and MAN WE LOVE MAGIC GET IT? There is Arrant Pyromancer, which
uses flames to burn everybody to a crisp, Mystic Stormite, which is
much more defensive and uses ice to weaken enemies and buff up your
defense, and Delphic Arcana, which is a good all-around spell list that
supports one of the other types.
-Notes: The High Elf can be tricky, since even a little melee damage can take
down even a high-level elf. By that point, of course, nobody should be
able to get within thirty feet of you without turning into a flaming
chicken and getting their atoms blown apart, but still... a good type
for the intermediate player.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[TPG]
*Temple Guardian: Ok these guys are my personal favorite, if only from a design
perspective. You can be regular elf, wood elf, dark elf, angel, undead fighter,
or ROBOTIC JACKAL SAMUS ARAN. Heck and goodness yes. The Temple Guardians were
created along with the Great Machine and moonjuice by the creator. Their
numbers have dwindled over the years, but they were created to protect the
machine and they still do it.
-Alignment: The enigmatic Temple Guardians can be good or evil, but are always
awesome.
-Gods: Take your pick, based on what alignment you pick.
-Mount: You get to ride the Mobiculum! This thing is awesome since it is a
modern machine powered by moonjuice. You can use your combat arts when
seated in it!
-Moves: Devout Guardian helps the guardian do lots of damage. He is a competant
melee fighter. Lost Fusion aids in his blaster attacks, blowing up
enemies from a distance. Source Warden is more battlefield management,
as he changes his opponents and his environment!
-Notes: At various places throughout the game you will find batteries, which
govern your blaster's shots. See the batteris section for details on
where to find them. The Temple Guardian is excellent as a solo player,
but can also shine as a supporting character, good for multiplayer.
===============================================================================
[GDS]
Gods
When picking a character, you also pick what god you will worship. Your choice
gives you various benefits throughout the game. Patron gods can influence some
quests and can give very powerful protection spells, but the spell has a huge
regeneration time. Praying at statues of your god or visiting temples shortens
this length.
GOOD GODS
Lumen: The god of light, Lumen is an offensive based choice. With this god's
blessing, you can shoot powerful beams of searing light. The beams are
especially useful against undead and mutant creatures.
Kybele: The god of nature, this is a defensive choice. Status effects can be
reduced and an entire party healed.
Forens: The god of philosophy allows a worshipper to reflect attacks.
EVIL GODS
Testa: The god of science allows you to be filled with moonjuice, shooting out
globes of the stuff that heal allies and damage opponents. Offensive AND
defensive!
Kuan: The god of war, this is great in a battle with swarms of enemies. All
enemies become confused and attack each other for a time.
Ker: The goddess of chaos calls on a big 'ol angry shackled demon to fight for
the characters.
===============================================================================
[EMS]
Enemies
Here you'll find chronicled all the fools and mortals who would dare step into
your path as the savior or agent of destruction for Arcania.
They will be organized as follows: Name: strategy
Note that I name the monsters based on their name as it appears in the
"last monster killed" section. For bosses, this can be different than their
name in the "boss" section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyr Lysia
*Brigand: These are just your run of the mill human thieves. They think
your character is easy pickings for their loot bags, and they literally could
not be more wrong. They tend to be melee attackers so if you can take them out
from a distance, fine, but you can probably handle them up close too. Just
keep an eye on your health!
*Small Snapper: A little brown spiky turtle guy who waddles after you. If
you have ranged capabilities, unload them, because he can just melee attack!
Shouldn't be much of a problem, and gives out some coin.
*Snapper: As small snapper, but less small.
*Inquisition Guard: Ninja-like elves with dark skin and twin katanas, they
look like they put up a better fight than they do. They fall really easily
to ranged or melee attacks.
*Sailor: Read "pirate". They are after gold, and maybe
you have some. They talk all piraty, but are basically a bigger badder version
of the brigand. Not big or bad enough to cause you problems, so watch out for
their ranged attack and waste them. Melee attacks work really well.
*Archer (pirate): Just like their meleeing cousins, this is a
pirate that hates you. This one has a bow and arrow, so close distance and
take them out melee style or use your superior bow skills!
*Seaman/woman: Sailor v 2.0. Not even that much tougher.
Roll through them with ease, friend.
*Captain: Notable for their cutlass and fancy hat, these
guys are not notable for much else. You may want to make them a priority
target when dealing with swarms of pirates
*Dire Bandit: Nothing really new to report. They have creepier voices, better
ranged weaponry, but this is really just a brigand dressed up all fancy.
They can sometimes come from multiple directions, so pay attention!
*Malicious Brigand: We start to get tricky with these guys. They will have
hefy melee weapons or good ranged weapons so be prepared to pull out your
tricks. They will go down, but not without a fight.
*Wolf: Just a wandering beastie. They can run pretty fast so be on your guard
for charges, but they go down easily enough that you don't have to worry too
much.
*Black Wolf: Bigger, angrier brother to the regular wolf. Dealth with in
pretty much the same way. Just take what we said about regular wolves and be
a little more careful.
*Timber Wolf: Worse even than the black wolf, I always found these in packs.
They're very quick, so have some potions handy!
*Wild Boar: A really damaging charge on this one, but it's slow moving if it's
not charging, so take care of it before it notices you!
*Brown Bear: Big lug, shouldn't be much of a challenge. Keep away from the
claws, and watch out if you accidentally mutate it!
*Grizzly: The beefed up version of Brown Bear. You find these in caves a lot,
and by the time you've noticed it they're clawing out your eyes. Bring your
strong techs to "bear" on these guys (ho ho!)
*Kobold: Little green goblin like guy. They shouldn't put up much of a fight,
even regular brigands can take them down. The only time to be wary is if they
are in huge numbers, or swarm you in a tight space.
*Kobold Shaman: Most troubling when you are tied up with their kobold brethern,
these spiritual leaders lob green spells at you. If you can close distance
with them and take them down do so, otherwise mow through their weaker, less
magic cousins then deal with them.
*Kobold Stone Thrower: This is a highly precise and technical job description
among the kobolds. Given, they are idiots. This is just a kobold who chucks
stones at you- their version of an archer. Take them out.
*Kobold Archer: They finally get it together enough to have bows and arrows
after a few levels. These guys are actually dangerous at range. Close quickly
and break them
*Kobold Chief: A beefier version of your garden variety Kobold. Still not
exactly anything to freak out about. Watch out for their charges, and take them
out after dealing with their minions
*Giant Bat: A cave-dwelling blood sucker, this beast will replentish its
health every time it succesfully attacks you. Have some ranged attacks ready
or just do so much damage so quickly it doesn't matter.
*Poison Trap: If you don't keep a close eye on your minimap, you might find
yourself stumbling into a poison trap. You'll know because you'll be unable
to lose and getting poisonsed, which is never fun. Take them out quickly so
you can deal with other enemies!
*Cellar Rat: Ah, the humble rat. Ever the low end of the totem pole for video
game baddies. These guys are no exceptions chew 'em up! Often found in caves.
Do watch out for their poison attacks
*Bear Trap: Ouch! Avoid this thing- it'll freeze you in once place and do some
damage too. Your poor leg... Notice it on the minimap first and kill it from
there.
*Mutated Turtle: Kind of a beast. Has really good defense and throws a mean
lightning bolt. Flames will do it in, as will good melee skills.
*Cannon: Try not to stand right in front of them. The slightest tap will send
them toppling but they do lots of damage so make them first priority in a
fight
*Steelnose Forino: Basically an uber-pirate. By level 5 or so you should have
no problems with him at all.
*Bloodmouth: The second uber-pirate you'll be dealing with. He's hiding in the
caves in Copper Peaks. Not too much trouble to deal with. Status effects are
great against him, and so are melee attacks.
*Small Earth Elemental: This little whisp of gravel floats along and wants to
pummel you with its tiny fists. Rain on its parade with a quick, strong
attack to dissolve it back to gravel
*Heavy Turtle: A bigger version of the Small Snapper, and fought in exactly
the same way. They have much better protection, so be ready to attack a few
times before they go down.
*Copperpoint gang member: Basically a quest-specific brigand, these guys have
stolen a vegetable merchant's loot. It's up to you to blow them to atoms
and get it back!
*Copperpoint gang leader: MARGINALLY tougher than the gang members. Blast away
from a distance or close in and swing with your sword, this guy shouldn't give
you much trouble.
*Zombie: Probably your first undead fight, these guys shamble around and try
to melee attack you. Being quick on your feet is a bonus, as you can outrun
them and keep the pressure up not letting them land hits.
*Ghost: Floating through the air and attacking you with and ghost claws,
these aren't too much trouble alone but can be a major hassle when confronted
with legions of the undead. Make them a priority target.
*Cannonness: Unique enemy, fight her in the observatory. She is pretty easy,
just attacks with a knife. She summons a Wandering Stome early on, though, and
that means trouble. Take her out quickly!
*Wandering Stome: The stone guardian of the Cannonness. Chucks stones at you
through the battle and has a ton of health. Very slow, so tactical retreats
from time to time are perfectly acceptible.
*Thief: Kin to the bandits and brigands, the thief can have somewhat heavier
weapons, also wears a kerchief over their mouths, and dies just as easily.
*Wild Boar: I guess the ones you killed earlier were tame boars? Anyway this
guy is much tougher, and has thicker skin. Try to take them out before they
can start digging their tusks into you!
*Spider: A humble spider mutated by t-energy, the spider rushes up and attacks
close range. Low health means it isn't a huge problem.
*Undead Fighter: Skeleton. Has sword, will slash at you. Kind of a challenge
in large numbers. Tanks can handle them without much trouble, but casters
keep an eye on them and keep your distance!
*Undead Archer: Say what you will about them not having any tendons, but these
skeletons can really arch! They are damaging and should be a priority target
in fights.
*Undead Mage: basically an archer minus a few hitpoints plus some pain when
their spells connect. These get even higher priority than the archers, you can
easily pick them out by their glowing staffs.
*Troll: OH MAN BOSS FIGHT! Ok this guy will pick up huge glowing rocks to
toss at you, run around and generally pound you into the floor. Have plenty of
healing potions at the ready and remember that you have a divine spell to use
if things turn sour!
*Minotaur: A strong melee fighter, it towers over most enemies. Its club can be
quite damaging, so make sure to stay right on the outside of his range. If you
can surprise him from behind, so much the better!
*Highwayman: A brigand by any other name would steal just as much gold and
smell just as bad. That's my theory at least.
*Cold Charley: Leader of the brigands in this neck of the woods. He is just an
uber-bandit. He lives in the brigand camp far to the northwest. Waste him!
*Kobold Chieftain: Just an uber-kobold, noting too strenuous or scary. The
real danger is the troll this guy has with him. Take him out quickly so that
he's not harrassing you during the troll fight.
*The White Griffin: Big and scary looking, and puts up a really tough fight.
If you stay in close you're going to get stunned a lot, so make sure you always
have enough health to take a few seconds of pounding. Ranged is good here, and
retreating works wonders too. There is a long way to go whittling this guy
down, so take your time and stay calm. Divine intervention is a great tactic
to use.
*Mutated X: Any monster can get mutated: just have it glowing blue and a little
angrier at you.
*Inquisition Guard: These femme fatales have two katanas, red leather pants,
and they aren't happy to see you. Fortunately they are very weak, so just
mow them down.
*Officer of the Inquisition Guard: A tougher version of the Inquisition guard,
though still doesn't pack much of a punch.
*Corrupt Priest: Nothing to worry about. These guys are good at blood
sacrifices, but when it comes to fighting a fully-trained hero they come up
short. There are nine of them and they can swarm if you're not careful.
*Elven Ghost: Snobbish in death as well, these guys refuse to have the same
name or appearance as a common ghost. They keep their original shape
remarkably well. Hit them with fire!
*Lightning tower: White/blue glowing spheres on pedistals. They are basically
moonjuice turrets
*Wolf Riders: Sure the kobolds might LOOK primitive. But when was the last time
YOU tamed a wolf? Huh? These are kobold cavalry, and very dangerous. Try to
draw them away from the rest of the kobolds and take them on one on one.
*Undead Centurian: The heavy troops of the undead. Much taller than your
average man and wielding heavy weapons, these are shock troops and make no
mistake. If you're going to close with them have potions ready, and don't
be ashamed to use your divine gift!
*Alien: This weirdo hangs out in a cave, makes crop circles, and may or may
not be there as a joke. Anyway he is a meleer, and while he can do some decent
damage with his claws, not a big threat. Besides, there's only one of him.
*Rodent: A leveled up cellar rat, this disease infested beast swarms through
the countryside. Put it out of its misery!
*Undead Tribune: Sort of field lieutenants of the undead. These guys stand
taller and wear centurian style hats, and punch a little harder too. They
buff their troops, so make sure they are priority targets.
*Small Toxic Elemental: A disgusting creature, subsisting on muck and toxic
sludge, indistinguishable from the fraternaty broather, this little guy
doesn't take too much of a pounding but can poison you, so hit them hard and
fast.
*Werewolf: Big strong and fast, sharp of fang and claw, the werewolf can be
a tough enemy. It's best to keep your distance, whittle him down, and not
get pushed into a corner.
*Dark Rodent: The emo cousin of the regular rodent. Life is a little bit less,
poison is a little bit stronger.
*Cultist: General dark forces worshipper. They are only there to summon bigger
bads, and as such go down pretty quickly. They are still worth taking care of
before engagin whatever monstrocity they summoned.
*Duloriel the Depraved: A truly tough boss if taken on too early. He is
located in a tower on the southeastern side of the northernmost moonjuice
pool of the spills that's visible on your map. He wouldn't be so bad except
for his two spellcasters (see below), but he also does some pretty good
damage with his sword and has plenty of health.
*Bergenthiar and Mandarir: Duloriel's lieutenants, these are very potent
spellcasters. They will wipe away your health with magic attacks, and when
one of the trio of Duloriel, Bergenthair and Mandarir gets too low on health,
they will cast a powerful healing spell. To be able to win the fight against
them you have to be able to destroy them twice before the heal spell can
recharge. I would suggest tackling this trio only after some extensive
exploration. During my first playthrough, I was defeated by them once, but
won the battle pretty handily after exploring Bengaresh and the Jungle.
Bengaresh
*Fire Elemenatal: Got lots of health and a penchant for burning things. Be
wary of prolonged close contact- retreats are fine when facing this brute.
Fire reisistance is obviously a great deal.
*Harpy: These flying monstrocities sound terrifying when they scream. Be
ready for their attacks, especially since they fly in flocks.
*Elite Harpy: In addition to turning blue and getting stronger, elite harpies
leran the trick of throwing magic attacks at you. Make these your priority
targets when facing a flock of harpies.
*Lightning Harpy: Redder than the others, the name really says it all for these
beasts. They throw deadly electrical attacks at you, and should be early
targets so they don't chip away your health while you're busy with the other
harpies
*Undead Legionnaire: The medium troops of the undead, above fighers and below
centurians.
*Keltiar: Dude murdered his brother then tried to attack you. He is NOT a
challenge. Off him.
*Deer: Helpless, kill them for their pelt in one quest. Barely an enemy at all.
*Mummy: The bandaged, walking dead. People in desert climates frequently
mummified their dead to preserve their bodies along with their memories. Use
flame attacks to finish them quickly.
*Scarab: Desert-dwelling insectiod horrors, these are quick and vicious. Avoid
getting mobbed by staying mobile, and crack their exoskeletons with a strong
attack.
*Senate Aide: Nothing you can't handle. Elf with a sword, and they only attack
you on misison 123-4
*Berserker: Shirtless tattoo'd guy with a big 'ol sword. They can take quite
a few hits and keep swinging, so watch out for getting mobbed by them. Magic
works really well.
*Soldier: An armored infantryman- good protection and a heavy weapon. Try to
line them up in a confined space so you're only fighting one at a time.
*Paladin: Heavily armed and armored, you are in for a real good fight indeed
when you take on a Paladin. Bring your A-game and some potions. Buff yourself
up, cast any draining spells you have, and try to overcome their strength.
*Giant Rat: It is serious trouble if this thing gets into your storehouse.
Think regular rat, but HUGE. Use the same tactics, but beware because it is
quite a bit hardier
*Spitting Spider: Long-distance attacks are never fun, especially not from
something as higly mobile as the Spitting Spider. Pursue them, back them into
a corner, and take them out.
*Blade Spider: BOY these things are creepy. Enormous spiders with cutting legs,
they will rip you to shreds unless you take them out quickly. Distance is
preferable.
*Dur-rach Krimar: Bedouin desert fighters, deadly with a scimitar, they will
come on you suddenly in numbers and attack fiercely. They are susceptible
to brawn, though.
*Hydra: Oh gosh this three-headed terror just crashes around everywhere
destroying things and biting and stepping on you. It does a TON of damage
so be ready to be on a health potion IV drip. Keep moving and pounding and
you might have a chance at living
*Muduscker: A big swamp bat. It sounds gross, it is gross. It'll keep
replentishing its life by attacking you, so end it quickly by hitting it hard
or by keeping your distance so it can't land a hit
*Lich: The creme of the crop, undead-wise. These are the best undead
spellcasters, and can raise their troops over and over again. Use their
relative frailty to keep them down during a fight.
*General Teras: He is big and BOY is he mad. An enormous towering skeleton,
he is the lord and commander of all the undead forces in Tyr Lysia. He'll put
up an intense fight, using his buffs and his troops to throw at you while
pounding away with his big sword. Keep your health up, don't be afraid of
using your divine gifts, and he'll eventually crumble.
*Mutated Scarab: I felt these guys deserved special mention, because
besides turning blue and glowing and getting some magic, the transformation
makes the HUGE and terrifying.
*Stone Guard: Mummy-like warriors roaming the desert, angry because somebody
disturbed the tomb of their master. They are adept with both bos and arrow
and hand axe. Dangerous from a distance especially, once you close ranks
and start whaling on them they'll fall without too much trouble.
*Stone Warrior: The heavy troops of the stone guards, these will be seen
carrying a larger weapon. They are quite strong and put up a good fight, so
make them priority targets in desert skirimshes.
*Scorpions: Large red venemous insects, these are a constant desert threat,
though not as deadly as some otehr desert creatrues. Beware their venom!
*Desert Harpy: A deadlier version of the mountain harpies, the desert harpy
can prove very challenging to hit.
*Harpy Queen: Oh gosh this is the worst harpy. Just stuffed full of offensive
power and health, you trace her to her desert lair, eliminate her guards, and
then take her on. Make sure you have plenty of health potions because her
attacks HURT.
*Alpha Warg: Much meaner than your average wolf, these things are out for
blood and are quite adept at drawing it. They are quick but don't take too
much pounding to go down, so stay on them.
*Lion/Lioness: Big predators, and they know it too. Lions and lionesses do not
mess around when it comes to providing themselves with meat. They usually go
down in surprisingly few hits, but the elite ones will take forever to bring
down and will deal out incredible damage the whole time. Try to take down the
weaker members of the pack first.
*Griffin: Majestic looking in the evening sun, the mighty Griffin is the true
master of the plains. It will not hesitate to tear into you with its fierce
claws, so have an escape route ready
*Hunter Spider: fitting in very well with the jungle flora, the hunter spider
is sometimes only seen by the time it's too late. Watch out for swarms!
*Black Panther: Lithe and quick, the panther will rush you and tear with
sharp claws.
*Dur'Rach Almar: The distance attackers of the desert bandits, these will throw
knives at you while the Krimar tie you up. See if you can break through and
make them your first target!
*Dur'Rach Scarin: The tanks of the desert raiders, these troops are mounted
atop giant mutant scarabs. They have tremendous damage capability and good
armor, so make sure you have a retreat lined up before engagin them, and
beware of multiple Scarin
*Ice Elemental: Tempermental and hostile, the ice elemental is most at home
when freezing the crap out of you with blasts from his freeze ray, or pounding
you up close with his ice fists. Heat things up with some fire damage to make
short work of this one.
*Moilos: The lord of the minotaurs and an incredibly strong melee fighter,
it can really help to have an invulnerable sidekick with you when fighting him.
Try to get him trained on attacking them while you attack his back. Keep
your health up, watch for being stunned, and charge!
*Earth Elemental: Not as cute as their smaller cousins, the Earth Elemental
will buff himself up before coming in to take you to pieces. Obviously
elemental resistances are important when fighting them.
*Fire Elemental: Just this big 'ol burnin' man. Wants to punch you with his
on-fire fists. Elemental resistances are important, as are doing elemental
damage.
*Young Dragon: Aw, so cute! These lil' firebreathing tykes attack you both
up close with their claws and teeth and long-range with freballs. They
shouldn't be too tough, but watch out for them in swarms.
*Dragon: OH MY GOSH not as cute. This monsters has incredibly strong melee
attacks and a fire breath attack that utterly fills the screen. You'll want
to be on a constant health IV. You're kind of in high damage range if you are
in close or out far, because the claws will tear you down just as fast as
the fire attacks. It helps to have sidekicks when taking on this beast!
*Cursed Priest: Stumbling around after you and giving you a good pounding,
the cursed priest is a high-level undead worthy of your fear. Keep your
distance because their speed is still quite sub-par.
*Garganthropod: You will be lucky if you never encounter a bigger, angrier
scorpion than this one. He is in the caves in the south of Bengaresh, and he
is just BRISTLING with venom and claws. Sometimes he'll kind of freak out and
turn silver and white, and if that happens you had probably just better run
away for a minute or two while he sorts himself out. He goes down hard, and
to make sure he doesn't get back up again YOU LIGHT HIM ON FIRE. THAT IS
METAL.
Jungle
*Garcema Warrior: One of the peoples living in the jungle, these samurai-like
fighters will swarm you and hack until they bring you down. Despite being
fairly weak individually, they are usually found in larger groups that will
provide a credible challenge.
*Garcema Assassin: A little tougher than your average fighter, the Garcema
Assassin is deadly both at short and long range, serving as the archers of
the Garcema. Take them out first!
*Garcema Shadow Warrior: In the competition for most annying enemy of all time,
these guys are STRONG contenders. Pound on them quickly and they will die, but
if they are at a low amount of health for a long time, they will turn
transparent. At this point they will still be at your side, pounding away at
you with their dumb swords, but your auto-target doesn't work. You don't really
realize how valuable this has been until now, because it is so hard and
annoying to kill them.
*Garcema Levin Warrior: A notch above the warrior for toughness, these guys
are the casters and are a bit more rare. Make them a target after you've
taken out the weaker warriors.
*Garcema Daimyo: The leader of a bunch of Garcema, the Daimyo is tough when
with his subordinates, as he buffs them up pretty good. Make sure to make him
a priority target to avoid getting cut to ribbons!
*Hunting Spider: Easily camoflaged, the hunting spider relies on stealth and
speed to make a kill. It's easy to miss this critter in the underbrush until
you are already being ambushed. Its low health means that if you do see it
coming you're probably alright.
*Flying Demon: Looking kind of like a big gray and red angry fish, the flying
demon swoops down to take a big bite out of you. They can be a little over-
whelming if they swarm, so manage them one by one.
*Jungle Lizard Warrior: An armed and armored lizard, the warrior will charge
you in great numbers, hitting you with their weapon (some kind of femur bone
from their last meal!) While individually not much of a threat, they can be
difficult to hit and are just resilient enough to do a lot of damage if you
let them overwhelm you.
*Jungle Lizard Hunter: The lizard's archer, the hunter will stand back while
warriors are attacking you and fling knives your way. They don't do enough
damage to be a priority target, but try to take them down if you have a few
seconds in between warriors.
*Jungle Lizard Priest: The caster of the lizards, he will freeze you in place
with tangling vines before casting a long-distance poison spell at you, then
dealing more distance damage. Make him a priority target!
*Leader of the Jungle Lizards: Well, he is! Bigger and stronger than the rest,
he's got a spear and something to prove. He'll be a tough opponent, not taking
much damage and doing quite a lot.
Artamark
*Assassin: Not too bad, the assassin is a quick fighter, but not one that
should pose much of a threat. Faster than the rest of the bandits, you can
run away to draw them out.
*Exiled Slave: A weak fighter with a painted face, find him in the human lands.
*Gun Turret: Some advanced turret weaponry, this can generate shields and
fire blasts at you. Take it out quickly!
*Goblin Warrior: Think of these guys as kobolds 2.0. They are still little
ugly and mean, but have a slightly stronger punch. Take them out, but they
are dangerous in hordes.
*Goblin Shaman: The spellcaster of the goblinoids, they will drain you before
attacking with fireballs. Tricky buggers, make them a priority.
*Tusker: The next step up in warthog evolution. Their sharp little horns will
gore you pretty good, so try to take them out fast.
*Dark Temple Knight: The fighter of the "dark temple" series, these guys have
flaming swords and put up quite a decent resistance!
*Dark Archer: The archer of the dark temple bunch, these guys are mostly to
support the knights. You can take out the knights first before dealing with
them.
*Dark Mage: Fireball-packin' dark temple folks, they shouldn't be too much
trouble.
*Raging Boar: King of all boar-kind, this orange and black mottled terror can
be found northwest of black oaks in the forest. If you have any invulnerable
allies they will be very useful in this battle. Distract him with them then
move in and pound on him!
*Plague Rat: A diseased little vermin, if you're not careful it'll poison you.
*Dark Paladin: You probably know this guy as the big angry flaming sword man
who wants to cut you to pieces with his flaming sword. If you don't, you will
soon. He is the shock troop of the dark temple, so be ready for a battle when
he charges. Keep healing potions handy.
*Bloodthirsty Werewolf: I guess the other werewolves were pretty blood-quenched
because this one is just bigger and angrier than the others.
*Demon: A big gross looking thing that has a strong melee attack. Watch out
for them because they are strong fighters! Keep a number of health potions
handy when fighting one.
*Evocator: Kind of a really strong caster who is also a megalomaniac and
probably crazy too. He'll teleport all over the dang place and cast every
spell in the book at you. He doesn't have a ton of health so if you pour it
on heavy
*Ghost X: A human or animal can be a ghost, it's like being a mutant in that
it makes them tougher and harder to hit, but otherwise just like normal.
*Thraconian: A viking, essentially. Good with weapons but not a big threat
unless you're utterly mobbed by them.
*Banshee: A true undead terror, the banshee wails out of nowhere at you and
swipes with its powerful claws and spells until you are a bloody pulp. If you
aren't a significant number of levels higher than it, make sure to bring in
lots and lots of health potions. Spells that take off negative effects from
you will be especially helpful.
*Thraconian Captain: Notable for their fancy winged headgear as well as their
short tempers, the Thraconian Captains are essentially just Thraconians 2.0
*Hunter of the Cult: These jolly fellows enjoy worshipping horrible dieties
and attacking at both close range and from a distance. They can have any kind
of weaponry, and will be fairly adept at what they have. They do like to
swarm, so look out for many where you find one.
*Elemental of Destruction: I didn't really know that destruction was an
element. I guess these guys just love destroying so much that it is impossible
to reduce that desire into any other parts. Anyway they charge you and pound
you. Take them out quickly!
*Elemental of Protection: Tough nuts to crack. These guys will help their
buddies by making them harder to hit, and have impressive defenses themselves.
If you can take them out before they can buff their friends, PLEASE do so.
*Shaman of the Cult: The cult's very own casters, these guys usually fall too
quickly to unleash their poison magic, but they have nasty summon abilities.
*Orc Warrior: Bigger and meaner than goblins, the common orc knows well how to
use his blade, and doesn't hesitate to drive it right into you.
*Striped Rat: Meanest of the regular rats, it will bite your eyes out as soon
as look at you.
*TW-1395 Hunter Edition: A temple guardian with nefarious plans.
*Test Run XX: Bioengineered death in goblinoid form. They fire elemental
attacks and pack a mean punch, as well as having just a ton of health. In
addition, they're small enough to swarm you. Do everything you can to take
them on one at a time.
*Ogre: An enormous gorillalike opponent, the ogre loves nothing better than to
run up to you and pound you to pieces. His fists are deadly weapons and he's
too fast to retreat properly. You'll need some health potions!
*Tree Spirit: A huge walking tree, think of the ents from Lord of the Rings,
and you are Sauromon. Fire damage works great.
*Giant Spider: Exactly what you'd expect. The smaller spiders you've faced
before will seem like pleasant memories when these behemoths tear into you.
Keep health potions ready and have good defenses, they are a bit quick for
retreating.
*Bloodclaw: The angriest darn werewolf you ever saw. Find it in the southeast
of Artamark, behind what looks to the casual eye like a patch of solid forest.
He is quick and uses a number of physical attacks, so with good protection
against physical damage you can probably whittle him down pretty handily.
*Gar'Colossus: This guy is enormous! A big angry golem, he has all the T-energy
soaked through his body that he needs to pound you into rubble. Take him out
with your strongest attacks, and aim for the blue stones. Watch out for his
two-fisted pounding attack, it is a killer!
Nor Plat
*Mounted Boar Hunter: A goblin charging headlong at you on top of a huge
tusked squealing pig. It's alright if you're scared of it, I certainly am.
Also it casts a big angry lightning spell at you, so be on your guard.
*Goblin Boar Rider: Somehow different from the mounted boar hunter, these
guys seem to be a little more melee based.
*Fighting Boar: A big 'ol angry porker, this guy has had time to grow up and
brings his considerable muscle to bear on you.
*Kodiak: Oh gosh this is just the angriest old bear.
*Mountain Troll: bigger and stronger than y'average man, even orc, these
guys aren't too bright but will pound you into the ground regardless. Bring
a health potion when tangling with them.
*Mountain Troll Chieftain: You can tell them because of their shield and
club, which I guess is royalty gear in the mountains, they are just the most
threatening of the mountain trolls. Make them priority targets.
*Orcish Bear: I guess it's some kind of orc/bear? It's just regular to me.
*Theranak: Some kind of T-energy mage who lives alone in a cave in the
southwest. He will summon mutated animals and cast some bad spells at you, so
make sure to keep moving
*Flying Fox: I guess the idea is that this is a bat that's so big it might as
well be a fox. It sure bites like one! Bats are terribly annoying to me because
of how dang hard they are to hit. This one is no exception, so look forward
to a lot of time spent swinging at them.
*Ancestral Spirit: Blue glowing ghost, I include them as seperate only because
they have seperate names from "Human Ghost" or something like that.
*Orc Chieftain: BOY this guy is big and spiky. Carries a club, smacks you with
it, buffs other Orcs. He is the biggest and the strongest! Make him a priority
target for sure.
*Orc Champion: This guy can freeze you in place with a big 'ol white circle of
magic power, and he can dish out the damage big time while you are stuck
there. He is a champion because of his fighting ability, which he is all too
willing to bring to bera on you.
*Ogre Champion: Ugh. This is not a fun fight. This guy can take you by himself
on harder difficulties and he is usually flanked by his buddies. If you can,
try to draw him out and fight him one on one, otherwise use a lot of hit and
run tactics.
*Mountain Troll Archer: Not particularly good at their job, the Mountain Troll
archers are slower than most at firing but their big 'ol arrows do a lot
of damage.
*Albino Rat: Albinos are really misrepresented in mainstream media. I feel like
more people should be aware of the gross stereotype that somehow albino people
and animals are scary and evil. They are people and animals, just like the
rest of this. That said, kill these evil bastards as soon as you see them.
*Mountain Troll Shaman: Notable for being purple as well as casting a MEAN
spell, these guys
*Small Golem: Just a lil' guy! Made out of mud and lightning and just as angry
as spitting at you. Hit him hard before he hits you! Earth protection is a
good thing.
*Giant Octopus: Truly a formidible opinion. Spraying poison and ink all over
you and striking with its big tentacles, as well as possessing a ton of health,
you might just have bring a few health potions for this one. Remember that
retreat is an option, as it's fairly slow. Melee weapons will have to get in
really close to strike effectively, giving the edge to ranged folks in this
battle.
Seraphyria/Dragon Isles
*Ice Elemental: An animate bit of ice, this thing attacks you with its big
crystal fists. What it's doing in a tropical environment is utterly beyond me,
but anyway. Do elemental damage and melt it.
*Wandering Stone: Basically an earth elemental or Golem. Elemental damage.
Kill.
*Stone Creature: I don't know what the difference is between this and the
wandering stone.
*Dragon Cultist: Kind of a jerk. Keeps slaves, feeds slaves to the dragons,
wants to kill you with his big flaming halbred. Show him a thing or two and
smash him to pieces.
*Dragon Cult Leader: A bigger, buffer version of the Dragon cultist. They'll
have fancier shoulder pads, and maybe a slightly more on fire lance, but
otherwise act just the same.
*Fire Lord: Picture just the biggest 'ol flame you've ever seen with angry
fists and a propensity to smash you. I think this is a flame elemental gone
crazy, and what likes to pound on you. Pound on it FIRST, and do elemental
damage, and you'll come out ok.
*Fire Spirit: One of the little jerks that Carnach summons to aid him in his
battle. These guys cast flames at you, do flame melee damage, and can be
connected to Carnach by a string, strengthening him.
*Fire Demon Boss: A big stomping threat! He looks like a straight up melee
fighter but actually makes you chase after his dang little fire spirits that
he summons. When they have a little string like thing connecting them to
Carnach (the boss), they are strengthening him. Kill them quick, and make
sure those elemental damage dealers are on. He will take quite a long time
to go down and will probably drain your health several times, but he will
fall eventually!
Swamp
*Mouldered Zombie: Angry zombiem'n who lurches after you and tries to punch
you with his rotting hands. Gross! They aren't that tough but being undead
can take quite a licking.
*Mouldered Lich: Dressed in purple robes, and flying around pretty comically
when killed, the mouldered lich is the more dangerous cousin of the zombie.
He can paralyze you so watch out! Also poison.
*Mouldered Skeleton Warrior: The Mouldered skeleton warrior is a slightly
higher level undead. Clutching a sword, he stumbles after you seeking
vengeance or blood or whatever undead want. Stay away from him and try to
fight him one on one.
*Mouldered Skeleton Mage: This guy is a huge jerk. Lobbing spells at you from
behind a wall of skeleton warriors and Olms, he should be a priority target
even if you have to wade through some hits to get to him.
*Swamp Rat: Not dangerous because of hitpoints, this guy cumbles easily. It's
more the poisons and diseases that he carries that should have you concerned.
When swarming in large numbers can be deadly!
*Mudsucker: All the annoying of a regular bat (CAN'T HIT THEM WITH RANGED
GRR), all the bloodsucking ability of a vampire, and more health points too.
A lot to hate about this guy.
*Swamp Olm: These guys come in a variety of colors and shapes but they all
want to kill you pretty bad. You should put some effort into taking them out
but they are slow enough that they can be avoided usually. Except if they
use vines to stop you in your tracks. Grr.
*Nameless Warrior: The "cultist" of this region, this guy is mindless and
upset at you because you have broken one of his many, many codes of conduct.
He just has a big femur bone to hit you with though, so don't stress.
*Nameless Priest: A caster cultist, he is there to support the warriors. He
will buff them pretty good so take him out, yo.
*Leader of the Nameless: A upgraded version of the Nameless Warrior, the
Leader is so angry at you for breaking their codes of conduct that he can
barely STAND it. Tough to take down!
*Nefarious Prince: Found on the northwest of the swamps, this guy will drain
your health while summoning bats and stuff. I think maybe he's supposed to be
a vampire? POUR ON the damage. He can be hard to find among all the other
enemies in this region.
*Temple Guard: The robot guardians of yore, these guys will attack you if they
think you are going against some kind of code or protocol.
*Fog Monster: This guy is a serious jerk. You can spend your time swinging at
nothing, and not really connect with anything. The real secret to fighting this
guy is that you don't even fight the monster- just the undead abominations that
he spawns. He can sort of do some freezy attacks against you, and otherwise
swing some misty claws, but other than that he's harmless. Take out the undead
guys and he just vanishes.
Dyr Laigh
*Leaping Plant: Yeah I mean this is pretty representative of what they do.
They are humanoid plants that chase after you. They can leap great distances
in a single bound and when they land BOOOM the ground shakes. Kind of a scary
occurance!
*Jungle Cat: These cats are sharp of tooth and claw. They prowl the islands
of Dry Laigh looking for prey. You look a lot like prey. They can be tough
opponents and are often in large groups, so try not to get cornered and run
away until some of them lose interest.
*Leaping Spit Plant: The high grade of leaping plants, these guys will leap
after you and attack and they also have a mean spitting attack which will
poison you. They are much rarer than the regular leaping plant, but also
more dangerous.
*Forest Guardian: OH I HATE the forest guardian. This guy isn't too bad
except that he has a healing power that he can use every maybe half a minute.
It won't restore all his health but it means he effectively has a ton more
health than he would normally, unless you can absolutely overpower him and
kill him between charges. Certainly eliminate any other enemies in the
area before taking him on, and use any invincible allies you have to distract
his attention.
*Blood Dryad Warrior: The cultist for Dyr Laigh, the warrior has a big 'ol
flaming sword and a mohawk. You can recognize them by the way that they're
charging at you screaming for your blood. Individually they probably aren't
much of a challenge but where there's one...
*Blood Dryad Shaman: The shaman is an offensive caster, focusing less on buffs
and things like that than burning you to smithereens. They can cast a nasty
fire thing that will singe off all your hair and and give you a bad feeling.
Give THEM a bad feeling first in a fight- you can recognize them by the oaken
staffs they carry.
*Blood Dryad Champion: Wearing funny shiny armor and carrying TWO fire swords
(because what's better than one, right?), these guys are paragons of intensity
on the battlefield. They are surrounded by their warriors, and will keep
fighting until one of you drops. Notice your situation when you see one- if
you have good health and can take on the other enemies quickly, go ahead and
fight. Otherwise, don't feel bad about teleporting or running.
*Blood Dryad Berserker: Basically just a stronger version of the blood dryad
warrior, this guy has higher stats but exactly the same flaming sword. I mean
maybe it's crafted a little better or something but it works about the same.
*Fire Flower: The "caster" of the living flower plants (which is a weird thing
to type), you might think that you can grab this guy for a powerup (mario
reference ho ho!), but instead of that he just wants to cast fireballs at you.
Be ready to chop him off at the hilt.
*Fen Fire: Also known as will o' the wisps, these little guys are a real
pain. They are hard to hit and hard to see, and they float around casting
pretty strong lightning bolts at you. Forget about hitting them with ranged
weapons, you want to use a melee weapon.
*Cult Follower: A youngling in the cult that sprung up in the caverns below
Dry Leigh, this guy isn't much but a robe and a cheap sword, if he even has
that. There is some limited casting ability, but essentially these guys are
fodder. Take them out.
*Cult Overseer: Now this is a slightly better fight. This guy is identifiable
because his robe is more ornamented. He is a much better caster and more hardy
in close combat that the follower. He will mostly attempt to use his superior
casting ability to cause you grief from a distance, so counter this by
charging him and ending it quickly.
*Fanatic: When a young person becomes too enamored with this particular cult,
they lose all sense of self-preservation. Accordingly, this particular cultist
has higher offense but lower defense than other people in here. They are a lil
faster than their cultist brethern, so they'll be the first you can fight.
Try to damage them from a distance as they run towards you.
*Sacrificing Priest: I'm not honestly sure what the difference between this
person and the lesser cult followers are, I guess their job title is different.
Fight them just like normal- watch out for clusters and be ready to flee if it
gets too hot.
*Manataul's Huntress: Sporting a bow and arrow, and you KNOW how good Dryads
are with those things, the huntress is an expert at whittling down your health
while you are tied up with melee fighters. Some ranged folks you can let go
until the end of a battle before you break through and take them out- don't
make that mistake with the huntress.
*Arrow Trap: Yeah I mean... if you have good detection this isn't really a
problem at all. If you step on it an arrow fires at you, so that's lame.
Watch out?
*Tormenter: Confined to the dungeon part of the cult's headquarters, the
tormenter specializes in torture, which unfortunately for them means that
they are used to having their victims tied down. They should find you...
less willing to accept their particular brand of hospitality. I did not find
them in great numbers, but they have very damaging attacks.
*Mazzagon: I'm not sure why this guy gets his own unique name, to be honest.
He's just kind of a regular cult guy. He's got decent health and some good
magic attacks but seeing as he's alone it definitely shouldn't be anything you
can't handle.
*Crystal Monster: This thing is... yeah. Crystal monster describes it pretty
well. A big floating crystal that things you ought to die. It's got damanging
magic and stuns the goodness out of you. As you chip away at its life notice
that it gets smaller. This does not make it any more deadly! It just gets
quicker and attacks you more frantically.
Wastelands
*Nimouril's Guard: Basically the "cultist" of this region, a standard soldier
who can be armed with any number of weapons. They would be a challenge anywhere
else but given how dangerous the demons in this place are they are kind of a
cakewalk.
*Burning Skeleton: High-level undead. I have to give props to the necromancer
who looked at reanimation of skeletons and realized that it could be made
that much more hardcore by including FIRE in the mix. Keep them at bay because
their melee is punishing. Fire protection is necessary.
*Demon: Some are casters, some are fists melee, some are swords melee. All of
them are wandering the caverns and are extraordinarialy deadly. I don't have
any secrets. They are just TOUGH.
*Nomonuil: The Grand Inquisitor. Don't think he won't go down without a huge
magical fight. He will stun you and slam you with all kind of magic attacks,
and he can take a BEATING too. You'll need your health potions, god powers,
and combat techniques to be fairly high level before you think about going
after him.
*Boss: There are four of these jerks, and they are all sort of holograms
animated by the Great Machine. I suppose they are protection. Either way their
physical attacks are TRULY to be feared, you will have to be constantly
drinking down potion if you take them on one on one. When you engage them
try to run away from the Great Machine beacause a) you won't get mobbed as
much by guardians or the generators, and b) the great machine won't give power
to them.

Quests
This section gives more detailed descriptions of each of the quests along with
how to beat them. They are numbered, and all other references in the game
correspond to their number here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1] Reactivated
* Available to: Temple Guardian (light)
* Given by: Starting game
* Description: All system reactivated. Recieved instructions from hologram. I
have been reactivated. My first destination is the Elven Settlement
* Instructions: Leave the Temple Ruins and head to the Elven Settlement. On the
way out, watch for brigands- be ready to blast them! When you get to the Elven
Settlement,
* Completion: (reached Sloeford) I should talk to the village elder
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2] Unpacking
*Available to: Temple Guardian (light)
*Given by: Hologram, as you are leaving Temple Ruins
*Description: I must retrieve my possessions from the archives.
*Instructions: Pretty simple. The location of the items will show up on your
minimap, just turn around (or go back to the Temple Ruins if you've already
left), and go get them. They are not guarded and I don't think they do anything
besides just look silly. Anyway you have to get the Teddy Bear, Ball, and
Cube 2.0 X 36 Phoenix Edition. Get them and head to Sloeford. Run into a little
boy on the outskirts, who wants a ball and a teddy. Fine, there's a toy dealer
in the next city. So head there, and find that toy dealer! The first one can't
help so you get re-directed. THIS one is happy to help you, but first you got
to rescue their son from the goblin camp to the east. Make sure you are
up to taking out many kobolds, but then go and wipe them out. Bring him back
and you'll get the doll. Now go have a talk with the competitor who slandered
the guy. He'll start a fight with the death robot, which is a bad move. Blast
him away. Head to Thylysia, specifically the museum. Follow your nose to get
there, and talk to the proprietor. He will be convinced you are the pest
control guy, so go in and control pests. They are just some vermin and
spiders, shouldn't be a big issue. Once they are smoking carcasses he'll come
in and tell you that the piece you want is in the hands of this guy TyBosso.
Go talk to him and he'll let you know that he's in a spot of trouble, and if
you'll only escort him out of the city he'll give you the thing. If you are
smart you'll have activated the teleported in Clearview before this quest
starts. If you have just teleport there and run to the cabin, the guy is
invincible anyway. He loses this quality on getting there, which is handy,
because the mages council lets you know he's a criminal. Time for judgement
and by judgement I mean melting his face off. Do so, and talk to the mages'
council lady. She'll give you the last thing you need, and opens up quest 149
*Checkpoint: Collected items from settlement, talked to boy in Sloeford, talked
to toy dealer in Twainbrook, talked to other toy dealer, found toy dealer's son
rescued son, went to museum, exterminated pests, got item, talked to TyBosso,
escorted TyBosso safely, talked to mage, killed TyBosso
*Completion: Picked up final object
*Reward: Unlocks quest 149
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3] The Turtle Eggs
*Available to: Everybody Light
*Given by: Ranger Mekeliel, in temple ruins
*Description: A gamekeeper by the name of Mekeliel is concerned about the spiny
turtle popluation. A poacher looted the nests under the cover of darkness. I'm
supposed to try and apprehend him and snatch the bag away from him.
*Instructions: Your goal is to "apprehend" the poacher. I put that in quotes
because apprehend in this context means "punch in the face until he dies". So
get to it! The location of the turtle eggs should be marked on your map,
you're looking for a brigand somewhere in this general area. Kill him, grab
the turtle eggs, and head back.
*Checkpoint: Killed poacher
*Completion: Brought eggs to Mekeliel
*Reward: 25 gold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4] Rusty Inheritance
*Available To: Temple Guards
*Given by: Trader Ryean in Happy Cow Farm
*Description: A Merchant Sent me to retrieve some components that thieves stole
from him.
*Instructions: He mentioned the thieves were hanging out southwest of town. Go
there and see if you can't convince them to part with the things they stole
from the merchant. You will have to use your blaster and flamethrower, but
that's not very upsetting. At least not to me! Anyway once you get them head
back to see the merchant for your reward.
*Checkpoint: Killed Thieves
*Completion: Returned parts to merchant
*Reward: Carapace Pants
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5] Four Yellow Feet
*Available To: All
*Given by: Galia in Happy Cow Farm
*Description: Galia, the mage's apprentice, is supposed to collect four
yellowfoot herbs for her mentor. These herbus usually grow on the shores of the
river, but were all apparently picked by Kobolds. I'm supposed to find the
Kobold camp and take at least four yellowfoot herbs from the little beasts!
*Instructions: Well nothing to do but do it. The Kobold camp will appear on
your minimap as an arrow pointing the way- just head towards it. You will come
over the top of a hill and see their crude huts. The Kobolds shouldn't cause
you much trouble but watch out for their shaman. Once they are down, grab the
petals and return.
*Checkpoint: Killed Kobolds, got Petals
*Completion: Returned petals to Galia
*Reward: 165 GP! Not too shabby
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6] Fishing Stores
*Available To: Everyone
*Given by: Gleroniwe (on road near bandit camp from quest 4)
*Description: A man has asked me to deliver a bag of worms to his brother in
Shoeford. His brother uses the worms as fishing bait. Shoeford is more or less
on my way, so why not?
*Instructions: This one couldn't be easier. Just make the trek, the pond is
right next to Happy Cow Farm, and hand off the worms. Bam, done.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Give worms to fisherman
*Reward: 55 gold for basically no work isn't bad!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[7] Books, Cows and Virgins
*Available To: All
*Given by: Farmer Walcott (Sloeford)
*Description: A local farmer told me that a strange mage is living in the area.
He has always been peculiar, but lately he's become even worse. First several
cows and sheep disappeared, and now even a little girl is missing from the
village. Rumor has it that the mage has gone mad, and the farmer asked me to
find and save the girl if possible. I can find the mages house in the forest
to the northeast.
*Instructions: Well this has all the markings of one of those "more than meets
the eye" type quests, so let's trek up to his digs and see what we can see.
Hm. As we approach the guy's house we see a cow pitchforked right through the
stomach. Bad sign. There is a zombie crashing all around in the house, and he
has killed the mage- this is
*Checkpoint: Entered mage's house.
*Completion: Talked to Farmer Walcott
*Reward: A cool 70 gold for your troubles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[8] Tutorial Hirelings
*Available To: All
*Given by: Lieutenant Niran (Sloeford)
*Description: A High Elf lieutenant asked me for help. He wants me to rescue
his comrades who have been captured in a pirate attack.
*Instructions: Oh boy. This would be a lot easier if it weren't for lieutenant
wet behind the ears slash total moron Birnarn who comes with you. Keeping him
alive won't be easy, but you'd best do if if you're gunning for the full
reward. Make you way down to the pirates cave. Before you go in you might as
well also accept quest 9. It is a tough battle in here,
*Checkpoint: Taking Birnan with you.
*Completion:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[9] Pesky Pirates
*Available To: All
*Given by: Scout Jelanthil (Near pirate cave from quest 8)
*Description: A lot of pirates seem to be roaming in this area. An intercepted
message mentioned a map in a cave, and that it's marked with all the landing
sites of these raiders. A High Elf scout asked me to go to the cave and get
the map. He's afraid of the rats there. Tsk...!
*Instructions: Head on into that cave. There's more to worry about than rats
though. There's pirates, and cannons, and everything you just read about in
the previous quest. Basically just storm into the cave and when you manage
to rescue the prisoners for that quest, or once the lieutenant's died, switch
active quests, find the map, grab it and get out.
*Checkpoint: Found Map
*Completion: Delivered Map
*Reward: 210 GP. NICE.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[10] Bounty
*Available To: Those who completed Quest 9
*Given by: Jelanthil (Golden Coast, right outside pirate cave)
*Description: I have to find the pirates leader and kill him. The man is called
Steelnose Forino, and he makes anyone who jokes about his nose suffer for it.
I should be able to find him at the cliffs. Well then, I'll just follow my
nose...
*Instructions: Ugh what a terrible pun in the description. You should have no
trouble killing pirates by this point, so just make your way along the road
slaughtering them as they come. Work your way up the cliffs and talk to 'ol
Steelnose. Talk to him, insult his nose, then run him through.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Killed Steelnose
* 120 sweet pieces of gold!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11] Gone Fishing
*Available To: All
*Given by: Fisher Alrail (beachcombers)
*Description: A fisherman has asked me to deal with a group of aggressive
tortoises that are scaring off all the fish.
*Instructions: Their locations appear on your map. If you have been taking
your time getting here some these things will be no challenge. They are just
small snappers. Anyway head over and murther them. You can retreat if you're
doing poorly, they are really slow. Beware, however, because there are loads
of pirates on the shore, and boar, wolves, and kobolds inland. Once they are
dead check back with Alrail
*Checkpoint: Killed turtles
*Completion: Returned to Alrail
*Reward: Book 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12] Attack on the Vegetable Vendor
*Available To: All
*Given by: Vegetable Vendor Piertyill (beachcombers)
*Description: Young vegetable vendor Piertyill has been attacked by brigands.
I have to stop them before they steal everything.
*Instructions: This is another "go there kill this" mission. You may have seen
the overturned cart if you came to the beachcombers by way of the main road. If
not, just follow the road up. You may have to deal with a few kobolds or
animals on the way, but nothing too major. The Copperpoint Gang Member and
leader aren't really much tougher than bandits. You'll have to kill the leader
and three gang members, then head back south.
*Checkpoint: Gang defeated
*Completion: Returned to Piertyill
*Reward: 426 gold pieces for ya
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[13] Kobold Canyon
*Available To: All
*Given by: Elven guard (beachcombers)
*Description: A guard has asked me to clear the path to the Gardens of the
Seraphim and drive the Kobolds from the canyon
*Instructions: Kill 20 of the little buggers. Believe me when I say that
finding 20 of them to kill will not be a challenge. On the higher difficulty
level you might want to bring some healing potions with you because you are
going to get MOBBED. Keep in mind that the guard you talked to in the beginning
of the quest is NOT the same person you talk to to finish the quest! To finish,
head north and follow the pathway through the mountains until you reach the
elven guard near the forgotten gardens. Talk to him to finish the quest.
S*Checkpoint: Killed 20 kobolds
*Completion: Reported to sentry
*Reward: 938 golden coins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[14] Captain Bloodtongue
*Available To: All
*Given by: Officer Renglewyn (copper peaks north of beachcombers)
*Description: An officier by the name of Renglewyn is missing one of his
scouts. the scout was supposed to explore some caves nearby. Renglewyn has
asked me to find the scout and tell him that he is overdue. If he's still alive
that is.
*Instructions: Time for some spelunking! Part of the Captain's problem might
be that he is standing by the wrong entrance. The caves that the scout is
hidden in are absolutely massive, and it's easy to get distracted. Just head
towards the circle icon on your minimap. There are some tunnels that show up
as black spaces on the minimap, don't worry about these and just head forward.
Be prepared to deal with earth elementals. Talk to the scout to end the mission
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Talk to scout
*Reward: Goooold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[15] Reporting to Renglewyn
*Available To: Any who completed Quest 14
*Given by: the scout from quest 14 (In cave, copper peaks)
*Description: The scout asked me to tell his officer about the precarious
situation he's in, and about the pirates' activities! The scout asked me to
inform his officer of the pirates' activities. He also asked me to mention
his "great heroism!"
*Instructions: This is pretty much exactly the reverse of the previous quest,
except easier because you already killed everything standing in your way.
Head back out of the cave and talk to Renglewyn. He... doesn't seem to get
the thrust of what you were trying to say.
*Checkpoint: (none)
*Completion: Talk to Renglewyn
*Reward: XP boost
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[16] Bloodmouth Must Die!
*Available To: Any who have completed Quest 15
*Given by: Renglewyn (Copper peaks north of beachcombers)
*Description: Officer Renglewyn has asked me to eliminate Captain Bloodmouth,
the leader of a band of dread pirates
*Instructions: Back into the cave! Bloodmouth is hiding at the back of the
cave, surrounded by his scurvy dogs. Keep an eye on the quest marker and you
shouldn't get too lost. Remember that he won't attack until you talk to him,
so take out all the pirates around him before starting the battle. He is just
a really tough pirate, and so shouldn't go down too hard.
*Checkpoint: Kill Bloodmouth
*Completion: Report to Renglewyn
*Reward: 1,103
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[17] The Shadows of the Seraphim
*Available To: Any good
*Given by: Sister Prudentia (Seraphim valley, west of the forgotten gardens)
*Description: A nun belonging to a Seraphim Order asked me to defeat an Earth
Elemental by the name of Itheral. The sisters are quite isolated and the
Elementals are really bothering them. Ihheril... weird name.
*Instructions: Well you've got a target now. The elemental is on a plain just
to the northeast of you. It shouldn't be a challenge getting there. Have some
potions ready, because the plain really is swarming with earth elementals.
Ihheril isn't that much tougher than your standard earth elemental, so just
keep swinging and you'll come out ok. Then walk the short distance back to
Prudentia
*Checkpoint: Kill Ihheril
*Completion: Return to Prudentia
*Reward: 301 gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[18] Kobold Grave Robber
*Available To: Any who completed quest 17
*Given by: Prudentia (Seraphim Valley)
*Description: The Sister sent me to the burial cave to chase off the Kobolds
that are apparently threatening to rob the graves of deceased nuns!
*Instructions: The cave is a little to the south of the nunnery, in very easy
walking distance. Inside the cave there are, as expected, tons of kobolds.
Make sure to take out the archers before dealing with all the little melee
guys, they will whittle your health away otherwise. The nuns don't seem to
mind overmuch if YOU loot everything in here, so go ahead. If you start
opening sarcophagi, however, watch out for zombies! To finish make sure you get
all six kobold warriors, then return to Prudentia.
*Checkpoint: Kill 6 kobold warriors
*Completion: Return to Prudentia
*Reward: 200 jangly coins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[19] A conversation with Sister Ligien
*Available To: Any who completed quest 18
*Given by: Prudentia (Seraphim Valley)
*Description: The order's First Priestess - Ligien- wishes to see me. I'm off
then. It is not good to make First Priestesses wait!
*Instructions: You um... you pretty much just walk 20 steps north and talk to
her. I'm not sure why this is listed with two little effort bubbles.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Talk to sister Ligien
*Reward: Can get quests from Ligien
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20] The Abbess
*Available To: Any who completed quest 19
*Given by: Sister Ligien (Seraphim valley)
*Description: The Order's First Priestess sent me to find out what's the matter
with the Abbess. She's been acting strange lately, and has shut herself up
in the medetiation hall. I wonder what's eating her?
*Instructions: Uh oh with something like "what's eating her" in the quest
description this sounds like it's going to be both a bad pun and a horrible
scene for us to view later. Well anyway, you can get into the old monostary
now. Head on in, and watch out for the ghost attack! This is.... wow. Yeah.
this is a pretty impressive monostary! You will walk past lava vents and
crystal tunnels. You will constantly be getting harried by ghosts in here, so
take your time and keep your health up. The last chamber before the Abbess
is just SWARMING with ghosts. This might be a fine time to use your divine
power to clear them all out. After that it is time for an audience with her
holiness. It seems she has got a demon inside of her, which she may or may not
have put there. Either way she is not repentent at all and wants to cut you
into ribbons! Killing her isn't too difficult, but at the start of the battle
she summons a Wandering Stome, a rock demon that throws rocks at you. They
hurt! Take out the cannonness QUICKLY, have potions cued up, and then whale
away at the demon until it topples. It is very slow so a tactical retreat or
two might be in order. Once the deadly duo are dead, you can go back to the
First Sister.
*Checkpoint: Defeated abbess and stone guardian
*Completion: Return to Sister Ligien
*Reward: 440 gp and the satisfaction of a job well done
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21] Eye Into the Sky
*Available To: All
*Given by: Nomengalus (celestial dome)
*Description: Nomengalus, the Chief Astronomer at the observatory, has asked
me to deliver a some [sic] spare parts to his workers. A defective moonjuice
pipeline needs to be repaired.
*Instructions: A delivery quest. Put on your delivery hat and get onto your
tiny bicycle, because here we go! The workers are along the pathway right
outside of the observatory, just follow the road. Be prepared for HUGE numbers
of kobolds to attack you, but by now you should be able to handle them. Just
talk to the people by the side of the road, and the quest is over!
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Gave workers parts
*Reward: 301 coins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[22] To the Focusing Station
*Available To: All who have completed quest 21
*Given by: Nomengalus (Celestial Dome)
*Description: Nomengalus has developed quite an exciting theory. He thinks that
... um... Oh, well. Never mind. My task is simply to collect the latest test
results from the focusing station.
*Instructions: For the focusing station being probably thirty feet away from
the observatory as it is, this is kind of a big trek. The shortest way there
is to leave by the main road over the bridge, then cut through the wilderness
to the bridge over the water right beneath the main observatory, and circle
back up to the station. It'll be a cave in the cliff that the observatory is
situated on. You'll be passing by a bandit camp and also recall the obscene
numbers of kobolds in the area. There are some mutant spiders in the focusing
station, but the guy in charge there doesn't seem to be particuarly worried
about it. Eh. Talk to him, get the report, head back the way you came.
*Checkpoint: Got report
*Completion: Gave report to Nomengalus
*Reward: 201 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[23] Mutants on the Rampage
*Available To: Any who have completed Quest 22
*Given by: Nomengalus (Celestial Dome)
*Description: The T-Energy leak in the transmission line appears to be worse
than I thought. Apparently there are three mutant wild boards marauding near
the transmission line. I must kill them before they hurt someone. As the saying
goes: Happy hunting to me! (editor's note: that is not a saying)
*Instructions: The pigs aren't necessarially near the line you fixed earlier,
they are probably hiding in the wilderness somewhere. Use your minimap to lock
onto them, and try to kill kobolds around them before tackling the mutant
boars themselves, as they tend to be pretty tough opponents. You'll know you
are fighting the right boars because they will be glowing blue. Hard to miss.
*Checkpoint: Killed three mutant boars
*Completion: Talked to Nomengalus
*Reward: That generous reward is 351 gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[24] In the Hands of Kobolds
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Lamela (Celestial Dome)
*Description: A child ran away from her mother while they were taking a walk.
She ran towards a Kobold camp, which is beyond the bridge. The desperate mother
asked me to save her daughter. Apparently, the little girl is in grave danger.
*Instructions: "Apparently in grave danger"? She ran straight into a camp full
of these little bloodthirsty trolls! Anyway the camp is right across the bridge
near the tower, so cut into the wilderness and head for it. You'll know you
are heading the right way because of the signposts with skulls and ribcages
and such things on them. Anyway make sure you thourougly clean the camp and
wilderness of kobolds before rescuing the girl, because she will have to
follow you back. She's surprisingly tough for such a little thing, but she
still can't take much of a beating, and obviously having her die is a pretty
sad end to the quest.
*Checkpoint: Rescued the girl
*Completion: Return the girl alive
*Reward: Some XP and can do quest 25
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[25] A Worthwhile Journey
*Available To: Any who have completed quest 24
*Given by: Lamela (celestial dome)
*Description: The Mother of the child whom I saved told me to seek out her
husband on the eastern edge of the village in order to recieve a reward.
*Instructions: This one is not too pressing and kind of a long hike, so you
may want to shelve it while you do some other quests. It's not difficult at
all, just head to the man's house and get your sweet reward.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Talk to husband
*Reward: A shiny ring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[26] Rust
*Available To: Temple Guardians
*Given by: Magonir
*Description: On my way to Thylysiam I was stopped by a man who commented on
my creaking joints. My elbow reall is quite stuff. He said he could help me if
I fetched some oil stones from the hills. Oil from stones? Stone oil? Hmm,
I've never heard of it
*Instructions: Hooo boy it is a far trek up north. The way to go is to follow
the main road up from the celestial dome until it curves off to the right.
From there head up into the wilderness between the forests, and turn to the
left at the top bridge across the silken river. If you hit the bandit camp
you've gone too far north. From here you will have to go into the kobold
camp to get up into the hills. Be prepared for many kobolds. All of the rocks
are in the camp itself, so just follow your minimap until you find them. The
first one is in this big clearing and OH GOSH BOSS FIGHT! Ok this is a big
angry troll who wants to crush you with rocks and his fists. Keep moving, that
is really important. Have lots of health potions if you want to do the close
quarters thing, otherwise circle around him and keep up the pressure all
the time because he has great health regeneration and so leaving him alone
for even a few seconds means a lot of work undone. When he lies dead, take your
rocks and leave. Note that he only had one, you need to get all the rocks
(just follow your minimap) before you leave. Don't worry, no more trolls.
*Checkpoint: Collected rocks
*Completion: Return to Magonir
*Reward: Some oil (potions)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[27] Unexpected News
*Available To: All
*Given by: Soldier (High elf encampment)
*Description: I am supposed to deliver the soldier's letter to his bethrothed.
*Instructions: This starts out as a simple "deliver the letter" quest and then
gets weird. So you agree to deliver it, and instead give the letter to... the
lady's brother. Whatever. He is living on a farm that's just off the main road,
it's not hard to find. Anyway he freaks out and starts attacking you. Just
give him a good hit or two and he comes to his senses and suddenly wants to
visit his sister, who lives in the main city. Fine then, off you both go.
This ends up being another escort quest, and if you've been paying attention
you HATE escort quests. As in all other ones, his survival is not guaranteed
or in fact even likely. If he does or survives, you still have to talk to his
sister. To keep him alive it helps to just run as fast as
you can past any danger. Go ahead and do so.
*Checkpoint:
*Completion:
*Reward:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[28] Holdup
*Available To: Anybody
*Given by: Walking towards the main city from the farm outside Sloeford
*Description: A woman is being harassed by brigands. I am going to tech those
scoundrels some manners!
*Instructions: This one is actually pretty tough, just because the woman is
often lying dead by the time you figure out what is going on. RUSH in and
proect her.
*Checkpoint:
*Completion:
*Reward:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[29]
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Aquetioen (Copper Peaks, off of a small road which heads east on
your way the main road north)
*Description: A minerologist asked me to search a cave for samples of a
special ore. He can't go into caves himself because he is afraid of small
smapces.
*Instructions: The cave is tiny, packed with wolves and a minotaur, and right
behind him. Head on in, being cautious of the claws and clubs, and get the
ore. It's behind a pillar, then go outside to talk to Aquetieon
*Checkpoint: Got the ore
*Completion: Returned to Aquetioen
*Reward: A nice xp boost
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[30] The Lost Amulets
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Mage School Graduate (by resurrection monolith north of Celioth's
tower)
*Description: A young mage messed up his first big assignment. He was supposed
to imbue three amulets with protective spiells then deliver them to his
customers. He was attacked by elementalists while delivering them and lost the
amulets. I'm supposed to find and take the amulets to the Lumerjacks who
ordered them.
*Instructions: The amulets are scattered around a pile of rocks to the east.
Make your way there, and, as was suggested by the mage, prepare for an attack
by elementals. You are a little mroe hardcore than he was, however, and should
have no problem taking on the elementals. Dispatch them, grab all three
amulets, and make your way to the lumberjacks. The lumberjacks are in a
brigand camp (?) slightly to the north of where you started. Give them the
amulets and get your money.
*Checkpoint: Got amulets
*Completion: Gave woodcutteres amulets
*Reward: 456 gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[31] The Eaten Cow
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Tirean (Brigand Camp South)
*Description: A hunting guide has lost a cow. It was attacked and killed by
a wolf, which probably also swallowed the cow's jeweled collar. He has asked
me to kill the wolf and retrieve the collar from the wolf's gut.
*Instructions: I like how a hunting guide can't find a wolf. Especially when
the thing is literally twenty paces outside of town to the east. This is an
incredibly quick mission. Dart out, kill the wolf, grab the collar, talk to
the guy again.
*Checkpoint: Retrieved Collar
*Completion: Gave Tirean Collar
*Reward: It was worth 436 gold to the guy. Strange.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[32] Hunting Highwaymen
*Available To: Any
*Given by: High elf guard (Brigand camp south)
*Description: Some highwaymen are harassing the nieghborhood. I should take
care of them.
*Instructions: Taking care of the highwaymen itself is no problem. They are
lurking right outside town, so go to it! The bizarre part is that you have to
check in with the guard at Sloeford to complete the task. Well no harm done,
head there and talk to the guard.
*Checkpoint: Killed Highwaymen
*Completion: Talked to Guard
*Reward: 456 additions to your treasure trove
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[33] Missing patrol
*Available To: Any who completed quest 32
*Given by: High elf guard (Sloeford)
*Description: A guard in the village told me that a patrol has been missing
for several days. He asked me to go find out what has befallen them.
*Instructions: The guards you're looking for are in a cave to the southwest.
Wind your way down, and be prepared for tons of rats and bandits in the cave.
The cave is just CHOCK full of them, but they are all relatively low level
so nothing to worry about. Once you've cleared the cave, notice those bodies
lying in the corner... shoot. Well, at least pick up the medals and map and
head back to the guard for your reward. They're in a better place.
*Checkpoint: Found Medals
*Completion: Talked to guard
*Reward: 435 coins. Blood money.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[34] Leader of the pack
*Available To: Any who have completed 33
*Given by: High Elf Guard (Sloeford)
*Description: The map I found shows the place where the band of highwaymen are
hiding. I am supposed to wipe them out and take the head of their leader to the
village as proof of my deed
*Instructions: Ok this is waaaaay far in the north. Depending on what order you
have done the quests in, you may have actually already run into this particular
camp. Anyway, head on up north, trying to sneak past the kobolds in the fields
below if you can. Once in the camp itself you will have 15 highwaymen to deal
with as well as Cold Charley. He is quite a strong fighter, so try to pick off
the other highwaymen first before tackling him.
*Checkpoint: Killed highwaymen
*Completion: Returned to guard
*Reward: 1601 coins and an amulet. Not bad! You might say you came out...
AHEAD?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[35] The Kobold Chieftan
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Thelal (Sloeford)
*Description: An envoy of the senate told me that the number of Kobolds in the
area is rapidly increasing (editor's note: yeah, we've seen). Apparently a
Kobold Chieftan has arrived which indicates that the Kobolds are probably
planning something big. I must go to the kobold village now and kill enough
kobolds to lure the chieftan from his hideout.
*Instructions: Ok this is a really busy area up north here. Three quests and
counting! Anyway first go to the celestial dome, then work your way northward
from there killing kobalds as you go. Once you get a message box that says
that you're getting close, move into the kobald camp and get ready to thwack
just mad amounts of kobalds. 40 to be exact. Once they're wasted, you hear a
distant roar.... uh oh. Head to the top of the kobald camp following your
minimap. For some players this will actually be their SECOND time fighting the
big troll. Keep moving, and keep the pressure on him! His regenerative ability
makes this fight tough. Once he and the chieftan are down, you get your
reward. If you've activated the resurrection monolith in Sloeford, go ahead
and teleport back, otherwise it's a long trek.
*Checkpoint: Killed Chieftain
*Completion: Return to Thelal
*Reward: 3052 gold and some neat artifacts
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[36] Tutorial Relics
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Liannea (Sloeford)
*Description: A little girl lost her teddy while playing in a cave. I wonder
what's waiting for me in there.
*Instructions: The cave you're looking for is to the northeast. Head on in and
be ready for rats and bears. You kill mama bear and find, because this game
is utterly insane sometimes, that her teddy is an actual bear. Talk to it
and escort it home. Because this is a short escort quest it's not quite as
odious as most of the escort quests in the game.
*Checkpoint: Talked to Teddy
*Completion: Return to Liannea with bear
*Reward: An anti-poison relic! Nice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[37] Muggers
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Markus (Sloeford)
*Description: A traveler has asked me for help. Muggers attacked him and stole
his luggage. He barely escaped with his life. The thieves have taken all his
equipment and money. Worst of all, they stole his father's sword, shield and
breastplate. These tiems are family heirlooms and he promised at his father's
deathbed that he would carry them with pride. He offered me a magic ring if
I could retrieve these items for him. There is no way that I could deny his
request.
*Instructions: The bandits aren't anything special, so getting there and back
will be the longest part of this mission. They are to the northwest, just
off the main road if you follow it. The three items are hidden in their camp,
so go ahead and grab 'em!
*Checkpoint: Got items
*Completion: Returned to Markus
*Reward: A rune!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[38] Tutorial Runemaster
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Zamnar (Sloeford)
*Description: Once more the runemaster's son stayed at the river bank longer
than his father has allowed him to. The runemaster asked me to go look for his
son. Afterwards he'll provide me with his services.
*Instructions: Oh I hate escort quests. Oh I hate them. This one actually
isn't that bad because the kid stays hidden for the worst of it. Head over
to the riverbank, east of town, and notice all the wolves in the area. Make
sure you clear the area before talking to the kid! Once you've done that,
talk to him and he'll follow you back to town. Keep a close eye on him.
*Checkpoint: Killed Alpha Wolf
*Completion: Returned Child
*Reward: 160 gold and services
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[39] Tutorial Blacksmith
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Michel (Sloeford)
*Description: The blacksmith's apprentice, Michel, was attacked and robbed of
some things. Michel asked me to get those things back so he owuldn't fall out
of favor with his master. Perhaps this will give me a chance to fall back on
the blacksmith's skills.
*Instructions: The most bandit-infested cave near Sloeford will be getting
another visit! Leave town by the west entrance and head south to get to the
cave. There is the usual assortment of rats and bandits inside, nothing in
particular to look out for. Clear out the rest of the bandits, head to the
back and talk to their leader. Hey! That double crossing fink! Well we'll have
some choice words for him once we kill all these bandits (do so) and open the
chest behind them (do so) and get his stuff (better grab it!) and head on
back to the village.
*Checkpoint: Talked to bandit leader, killed bandits
*Completion: Talked to Michel
*Reward: 275 gold and Journeyman's Work (sword)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[40] The Brigand Camp
*Available To: All
*Given by: Kylian (Sloeford)
*Description: A brigand camp is located north of here. Several soldiers are
being help captive there and they must be freed. The brigands must recieve a
just punishment.
*Instructions: "Just punishment" eh? You know what that means. It's murdering
time! Get your favorite pointy or shooty weapon and head northwest. It's best
to approach the camp from the southeast. You have to kill ten brigands, and
there are good odds that there'll be a big nasty force of kobalds in the area.
Clear the whole area out before opening the soldiers' cages. Once you've
freed them talk to their leader, who will direct you to a cave south of
Sloeford. Head there.
*Checkpoint: Killed bandits
*Completion: Reached Cave
*Reward: Quest 41
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[41] Punishment
*Available To: Anyone who beat quest 40
*Given by: Beating quest 40
*Description: I can hear voices from over there! That should be who I am
looking for.
*Instructions: This is a pretty standard cave, except for the lightning-
throwing turtles in the back. Watch out for them. Head into the cave, blasting
away (the cave is directly east of the Happy Cow farm), and fry all 10
bandits. You're not quite done yet. Look on the minimap for the last circle,
that will be the contract that the soldier mentioned pick it up and head back
for your reward. You'll find the quest ender in the high elf encampment north
of Sloeford.
*Checkpoint: Killed bandits
*Completion: Talked to Erestor
*Reward: Some neat artifacts and the gratitude of the elven army!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[42] Let's Have a Drink!
*Available To: All
*Given by: Melantion (Twainbrook)
*Description: A rich but somewhat wacky Elf called Melantion has asked me to
fetch him two barrles of the finest wine. His stock are depleted and he doesn't
want to drink cheap stuff. I should go and seek the wine merchant Naia in order
to find some wine for him.
*Instructions: Ok so the wine seller (and cellar! ho ho!) is to the northwest.
Follow the main baths on the way there and you shouldn't have any problem. You
might want to pick up quest 43 from the guard on the way as well. When you
get there talk to the merchant and learn that all you have to do for some
free wine is kill the vermin that are infesting her cellar. No big deal, right?
The cellar is close by. Head on in there, and get ready for some spiders!
They are pretty weak, so just pick them off one by one and go back topside
to the merchant.
*Checkpoint: Killed Spiders
*Completion: Talked to Melantion
*Reward: 527 Gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[43] Tutorial Damage Types
*Available To: Any
*Given by: High Elf Sergeant (Twainbrook)
*Description: A guard told me that undead have occupied the area past
Twainbrook claiming it for themselves. Kobolds might not be strong opponents,
but perhaps I should listen to the guard and try to learn the secret of the
Kobold Mage's burning weapon.
*Instructions: This cave us up north, right by the wine seller's hut. It is a
small one-room deal. head in to see the kobald being attacked by three undead
legionairres. Attack them first and kill them, then talk to the kobald. After
you get his secret be prepared for him to attack you on the way out, then go
back to the guard.
*Checkpoint: Killed Legionnaires
*Completion: Returned to guard
*Reward: 878 gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[44] The Hunter Camp
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Rangald (south of twainbrook)
*Description: The hunterse have asked me to bring them ten boar pelts. Sounds
like a solvable task.
*Instructions: A straightforward hunt in the wilderness. What makes this
doable is that your minimap will update with the position of the nearest boar,
so follow the gray circles. What makes this annoying is that there are a lot
of rivers and forests around here, and getting to the boars can be a long trek.
Use the absurdly high spawn rates of this game to your advantage for once, and
if a boar spawns too far away for your tastes, kind of circle around until one
spawns nearer to you! When you're done head back.
*Checkpoint: Killed ten boars
*Completion: Returned pelts to hunter camp
*Reward: 527 gold for some stinky pigskins. Good deal!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[45] Days Gone By
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Ambul (Due west of the High Elf Outpost south)
*Description: In the ruins close to here a magic ritual once failed. Since
then, the souls of the mages who tried to complete it have been haunting that
area. I'm supposed to collect fragments of a rare nameless stone so that the
ritual can be completed and the souls of the High Elf mages can be released.
*Instructions: The stone you're looking for is across the river to the
northwest on top of a hill. It isn't guarded or anything but there are
kobalds in the area not to mention wild animals, so don't be too hasty
rushing around. Grab it and get back.
*Checkpoint: Got Stone
*Completion: Give Ambul stone
*Reward: 527 gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[46] The Boar
*Available To: Any who completed quest 44
*Given by: Rangald (south of Twainbrook)
*Description: And now they want me to kill the giant boar, leader of the pack.
Seems to be a pretty tough animal. I should not take this assignment lightly.
*Instructions: Protip: It does not matter if you take this assignment lightly
or not. The wild boar you are chasing shows up on your minimap just the same.
Be ready for a tussle when you fight him, though. He's not too far away so
this should be a quick mission.
*Checkpoint: Killed boar
*Completion: Returned boar
*Reward: That hunting knife, and the acceptance you apparently so desperately
crave by a bunch of smelly hunters.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[47] Secure Shipment
*Available To: Anyone who completed quest 46
*Given by: Rangald (south of Twainbrook)
*Description: I am supposed to escort this consignment of furs and ensure that
they reach Rober the Merchant safely.
*Instructions: Talk to the lady and get going. I hate escort missions. This
time you've got a fair chance of surviving it. Stick to the main roadways, run
if you see any big scraps or groups of kobolds, and you'll be ok. PROTIP:
people you are escorting automatically teleport right next to you if you get
too far ahead of them, so if you are playing as a temple guardian and can use
your jets to get across the river directly into Sloeford, you will save a ton
of time.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Goods arrived safely
*Reward: One thousand, five hundred and five gold pieces
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[48] Old Friends
*Available To: Anyone who completed quest 45
*Given by: Ambul (Due West of High Elf outpost south)
*Description: Ambul prepared the stone. Now we're going to the ruins together,
so that the spirit of the mages can finish their ritual.
*Instructions: Now THIS is an escort quest I can get behind- one where the
target to be escorted is invulnerable! Take time out to marvel, as you travel
northwards, how stupid he is though. Running RIGHT into the middle of
kobolds and such. I just KNOW that if he wasn't invulnerable he would have
died three times over on the way here. Anyway once you reach the ruins all
heck breaks loose. It was a trap, Ambul was leading you to your death, so you
got to destroy those spectres and him too.
*Checkpoint: Reached ruins
*Completion: Destroyed Ambul and Spectres
*Reward: Some neat artifacts Ambul had on him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[49] The Sick Hermit
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Sick Hermit (East of Twainbrook across the river)
*Description: A dying hermit has askmed me to collect herbs in a mine not far
away and take them to a herb woman in the village. He's also given me a key to
the mine.
*Instructions: Head into the mine and collect the herbs. You shouldn't
encounter too stiff resistance. There are some giant bats, some cellar rats,
and some earth elementals. Once you've got the herbs head to Twainbrook to see
the sorceress
*Checkpoint:

*Reward:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[50] The Tortured Soul
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Inkeeper (Twainbrook)
*Description: The Inkeeper of "The Broken Goblet" has told me a strange story.
HIs wife, who died two years ago, was somehow or by someone turned into an
undead and now haunts the cemetary. He saw her one night, and she asked him
to put an end to her miserable existance. But he couldn't. So now he's looking
for someone who can do this for him and free the soul of his wife. I feel sorry
for him.
*Instructions: The cemetary is just north of town. Head up there, and it's not
hard to see her shambling about. Just put her to rest quickly and head back to
the tavern for your reward.
*Checkpoint: Killed Argatha
*Completion: Return to tavern
*Reward: 527 coins for killing his wife. Re-killing. Whatever
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[51] Lahrian is Missing
*Available To: All
*Given by: Malte (copper peaks, in a mountain road north of beachcombers)
*Description: Malte the Merchant would like me to visit Lahrian the Mage to
make sure that nothing bad has happened to him. His Golem has not been coming
into town for groceries as he usually does, and Malte is concerned about
Lahrian's well being. The magician's hut is southwest of here. Apparently it is
quite a distance to travel, but I always wanted to visit the western part of
this region anyway.
*Instructions: He IS pretty far down, so use this opportunity to scope out the
territory, maybe check out some caves, etc. Anyway he's fine, so all you have
to do is get down there, talk to him, and then hoof it back up to talk to
Malte again.
*Checkpoint: Found Lahriman
*Completion: Came back to Malte
*Reward: Better deals on Malte's goods in the future.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[52] The Farm Woman's Husband
*Available To: All
*Given by: Farmer's wife (Copper Peaks, take westerly side road)
*Description: A farmer's wife asked me to look for her missing husband in the
forest.
*Instructions: Well first off he isn't in the forest, and second off you can
see him right from the path. They have a pretty lax guard in this town is
all I'm saying. Not that it's a happy ending! Follow the path up north and
you'll find the guy dead in a graveyard with a bone hand from the undead that
killed him next to him. Grab the hand, go back to the widow, who is TOTALLY
AVAILABLE now if you get my drift. Eh? Eh?
*Checkpoint: Got bone hand.
*Completion: Returned to wife.
*Reward: You get to give a lady a skeleton hand and tell her that her husband
is dead. If that isn't good enough for you, well then I just don't know what
to say.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[53] The Kobold Building Co.
*Available To: All
*Given by: Menteriel (Copper peaks north of beachcombers)
*Description: Ranger Menteriel has asked me to kill the four Kobolds that are
erecting a watchtower nearby. The Kobolds want to control the road. They must
be stopped!
*Instructions: They're up on yonder hill, sort of west-north-west of your
position. You'll be looking for four kobold shamans, and you can tell them
because they've got a different color than the rest of the kobolds. Also they
are marked on you minimap. This isn't a terrifically hard fight, so take them
out and return for your reward!
*Checkpoint: Defeated Kobolds
*Completion: Returned to Menterial
*Reward: 527 coins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[54] Desperately Seeking Golem
*Available To: Any who are undertaking quest 51
*Given by: Lahrian the mage
*Description: I have met an old magician who is in a difficult predicament. He
told me that his Golem has been missing for several weeks now. The wolves have
probably destroyed it. The old man is weak and the Golem was his handyman.
Unfortunately, the mage is missing several ingredients that he requires to
summon a new golem. He has asked me to acquire those ingredients for him.
I will need to collect two kobold hearts, five wild boar tusks and four
stones of earth elementals.
*Instructions: There is no set pattern to where the critters are, though you
do have to collect the ingredients in boar -> kobold -> elemental order. Just
follow your nose, and by your nose I mean the minimap.
*Checkpoint: Collected supplies
*Completion: Gave supplies to Lahrian
*Reward: A job well done, son.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[55] Protecting Noriath's Corner
*Available To: All
*Given by: Aristrocratic Spy (Just south of Noriath temple up a winding hill)
*Description: A High Elf spy found out that the Inquisition is planning to
construct a training camp in the area. I'm supposed to eliminate some guards
who have set up their camp in nearby ruins
*Instructions: The spy's little spyglass didn't lead him astray. There are
indeed some inquisition guards and an officer of the inquisition guard
*Checkpoint: Killed guards
*Completion: Report back to spy
*Reward: The council is exactly 1526 gold coins happy you did this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[56] Inquisitor Ortlewyn
*Available To: Any who completed quest 55
*Given by: Aristocratic spy (just south of Noriath)
*Description: I'm supposed to eliminate the Inquisitor who's leading the
clergy's campaign. He was seen while reconnoitering the area.
*Instructions: This is pretty much the same as the previous quest, except
there are fewer targets. Hoof it on over west to the lake where Inquisitor
Ortlewyn is hanging out, and talk to him. He lets you know that he will kill
you, then immeditally crumples under the fierce beating you administer. Go
to the building next to the temple up north to end the quest.
*Checkpoint: Killed Ortlewyn
*Completion: Reported to spy
*Reward: 561 gold for the death of Ortlewyn!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[57] Purification of the Temple
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Aleya (Noriath temple)
*Description: I must rid the temple of this unholy cult.
*Instructions: The unholy cult is all hanging out in the temple. Go in there,
and slaughter the priests one by one. When they are all dead (I guess the
janitorial service doesn't ask many questions) head back and talk to Aleya.
*Checkpoint: Killed Priests
*Completion: Talked to Aleya
*Reward: General's Signent Ring of Wealth
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[58] Impure Hands
*Available To: Anybody who has completed quest 57
*Given by: Aleya (Noriath)
*Description: Aleya has asked me to retrieve the Goblen of Light from an
evil mage and bring it back to the temple
*Instructions: The cave you're looking for is to the south. If you are the
adventurous type you've probably already seen it! Anyway the cave itself
isn't too challenging- there are some rats and poison traps and such in here.
Also hilarious is the fact that you have to talk to the mage before the battle
with him will start. This puts you directly in smack-with-a-hammer range, and
that is precisely where any right-thinking mage does not want you to be. So
take advantage of that range, smack him one, grab the goblet, and get out.
*Checkpoint: Got goblet
*Completion: Gave goblet to Aleya
*Reward: 2862 impure coins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[59] The Needy Water Elemental
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Passive Water Elemental (far north against right bank of Torreya)
*Description: A water elemental has asked for my assistance. A bunch of
kobolds massacred the frogs in his pond, and now their rotting corpses have
contaminated it. The elemental has asked me to collect all the dead frogs.
It's not my usual line of work, but how often do you get to do work for a
water elemental?
*Instructions: This is pretty simple: just run up the river and grab the frogs.
The kobolds who did the slaughtering are still around though, so keep an eye
out for them. Also make sure and smash the pot at the very top of the map for
quest 60. Anyway once you got the frogs talk to the elemental again.
*Checkpoint: Collected frog bodies
*Completion: Talked to water elemental
*Reward: Relic of Frost
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[60] A Tragic End
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Find it in a pot at the VERY top of the Torreya, right bank, in Tyr
Lysia. DIFFICULT TO FIND!
*Description: I have found a letter inside a jar: Dear Father, You wanted to
force me to marry that slimy astronomer Nomengalus, that's why I ran away. Not
only did I have no affection for the old elf, I was also in love with Feniwyn.
We weren't careful enough though, a band of kobolds ambushed us. My beloved
Feniwyn fought valiantly, but there were too many of them so I ran away in
fear. I can still hear the beasts and I know they will be back. I won't make it
out of here alive. Traveler if you find this letter, take it to my father. His
name is Nimanteus, and he's a lumberjack who lives near the mage tower. He has
to hear about my fate and realize his guilt in our death.
*Instructions: Well, she certainly is a jerk. Just let the old man think you're
living happily in some other country! Well anyway, we better go find him. He's
by the lumberjack camp.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Gave letter to lumberjack
*Reward: Some gold and a sad man.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[61] Threat from Beyond
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Retilyen (Hidden Valley)
*Description: A ghost hunter has discovered a supernatural presence at an old
grave. The ghost has to be stopped before it can fully manifest itself. The
ghost hunter needs an Elixer of Souls to banish the ghost, and has asked me
to collect the elixer from a mad alchemist.
*Instructions: Nothin' to it. Follow the trail back, talk to the alchemist,
grab it, head back, and we're clear.
*Checkpoint: Got elixer
*Completion: Delivered elixer
*Reward: 572 Goldies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[62] Ghost Hunting
*Available To: Any who completed quest 61
*Given by: Retilynen (Hidden Valley)
*Description: I have to destroy the evil spirits at the ancient grave. I'm sure
the elixer will be a great help.
*Instructions: Head north from the ghost hunter- there's only one path to take.
There are 8 ghosts to deal with, and each is kind of a tough customer. Be sure
to make good use of that elixer of souls for a good boost if you need it!
*Checkpoint: Killed ghosts
*Completion: Talked to Retilynen
*Reward: 1,767 jangles for your bangle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------s
[63] Corn Circles
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Buddix (Benny's Corn Circles)
*Description: Buddix believes that an unknown breed of creatures made the
circles in the corn. He has aked me to help him prove their existance. I have
to admit that even I'm interested in finding out the truth now. Buddix asked
me to get a copy of "irrelevant Arcanian Tall Tales" and see if it contains any
clues about corn circles.
*Instructions: Ok get ready for a multi-part, VERY bizarre quest. The first
part to this is going to the nearby town to get that book. Or a newspaper? A
newspaper boy has the thing, and apparently quotes it to you from memory. Also
you may get a copy. Anyway it mentions a flying machine headed towards the
mountains. This next part would be SO frustrating without the quest circles on
the map. How on earth do you know where to go? Anyway, head towards the circle
to meet a guard who was disgruntled because he brought up his abduction (do
you see how we're going for kind of the classic American alien abduction
story with this one?) Anyway he is just there to point you towards the path
you'll have to take. It's right behind him, so head up the path and take a
left at the fork. Go into the cave, all the way to the back, and on the
central pedistal press the button. There are some weird lights and an alien
comes out to attack you. Kill it, grab its head, head back to Buddix
*Checkpoint: found book, talked to soldier, pressed button, killed alien
*Completion: Returned to Buddix
*Reward: Some XP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[64] Sinister Figures
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Caranthir (Benny's Corn Circles)
*Description: A farmer has asked me to find a band of brigands who frequently
robbed him. He wants me to deal with them and return his gold to him.
*Instructions: It's kind of a trek to where the guys are- the derelict manor.
You'll want to approach it from the south, as it's hemmed in by thick forest
to the sides and north. Anyway, they aren't the toughest nuts to crack, the
leader's mutated wolf notwithstanding. Waste them one at a time, then find the
bag of gold on your mini-map. Grab it and get back!
*Checkpoint: Killed bandits
*Completion: Returned gold
*Reward: Half the gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[65] The Stray Cat
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Erris (Benny's Corn Circles)
*Description: A little girl has lost her cat. I will go and look for it.
*Instructions: Ugh escort quest. And you just KNOW this cat has like zero
hit points. Anyway it's to the west. Zealously clear out enemies as you
approach the cat, don't talk to it until everything around it is dead. When
you talk to it run quickly, clearing a path, back to the girl. Talk to her
and get your reward.
*Checkpoint: (found cat) I have found Tari. Now I must return her to Erris.
*Completion: (returned cat) I have returned the cat unscathed.
*Reward: An item that she feels like parting with
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[66] Disturbance of the Peace
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Mourning Lilly (Derelict Ruins)
*Description: Lilly, a poor woman at the ruins, asked me to find out where the
strange noises were coming from. It's probably a couple of undead. I'm going to
go make sure everything is ok.
*Instructions: This is a local quest. Tough battle with the undead, but not a
lot of legwork, so it all evens out. There are six of them creeping around in
the ruins, including an undead centurian, so stock up on healing potions and
waste them. Divine gifts are great against the centurian.
*Checkpoint: Killed Undead
*Completion: Talked to Lilly
*Reward: Lilly will pray for you. I guess that's pretty good?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[67] Strange Rituals
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Elrohir (high elf encampment north of Clearview)
*Description: Strangely clad people in black cowls are apparently meeting at
the stone circle outside of the village conjuring up Demons. The residents of
the village fear for their safety. I'm supposed to get rid of that pack of
Demon conjurers.
*Instructions: The peak you're looking for is to the east. Make sure you
approach it from the south, as there is only one path to the top. If you are
going steeply upwards and crossing rope bridges you're almost there. The
cultists, nine of them, are indeed on the peak, and right on cue they summon
a Horrible Monstrocity, a fire elemental. Take out the cultists first, then
waste the elemental and be on your merry way.
*Checkpoint: Killed Cultists
*Completion: Talked to Elronhir
*Reward: XP boost
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[68] The Wolf Problem
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Farmer Mahtan (piece of land jutting out near river
*Description: I should help the shepherd Gildor to drive away the wolves.
*Instructions: OK the shepherd isn't too far away, so just run up and talk
to him. He's a little to the east. Be prepared though, because as soon as you
do the wolves will come! Once they show up try to get them all to attack you
so they aren't focused on the shepherd. They should go down relatively easily.
Once they are heaps of fur, talk to the shepherd again and learn that much
further to the east they have taken refuge. It's up to you to go clean them
out! I was thinking there would be a cave or something, but it's just another
group of wolves over to the east. Clean them out and head back for your
reward. Uh oh it is unexpected fight time! After you mop the floor with
wolf-boy, talk to the farmer.
*Checkpoint: Found gildor, defeated wolves, defeated wolf nest, talked to
Gildor, defeated werewolf
*Completion: Talked to Mahtan
*Reward: A health potion. Woo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[69] Orpheus
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Mary Ann (High Elf Outpost - Heartland)
*Description: Mary Ann has asked me to accompany her to the underworld
*Instructions: Well this is certainly an odd quest. This lady, Mary Ann,
wants to see her beloved Logamir REALLY badly, except that he's kicked it.
Well, if you want to see your beloved again, and your beloved is dead, I guess
it just makes sense to head off to a crpyt. Now, this is an escort mission
and Mary Ann is not the strongest of people, so make sure that you keep a
close eye on her. Her one redeeming characteristic is that she's happy enough
to fall behind while you fight all the baddies further on. If you have
friend healing spells though, best to keep them handy. Anyway once you get her
to her mummified lover, they request that you get them the heck out of the
dusty tomb, but first they want you to go talk to Orpheus. This is where
things get bizarre. As soon as you talk to Orpheus you complete the
one quest and get another, (#71), which turns the lovers against you. See 71
for more details.
*Checkpoint: Reunited lovers
*Completion: Quest ends abruptly when you take on quest 71
*Reward: XP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[70] Quest
*Available To: Any who have completed quest 69
*Given by: ???
*Description: None
*Instructions: I think this is a bug. This shows up in my quest log after I
talked to Orpheus in quest 69. It is immeditally complete. Weird.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: None
*Reward: None
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[71] Orpheus Himself
*Available To: Any who have completeld quest 69
*Given by: Orpheus (Dungeon near high elf outpost - heartland)
*Description: Orpheus has ordered me to kill Mary Ann and her lover.
*Instructions: Kill them! It is not even a little difficult. Is there another
way to end quest 69? I hope so.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Killed Mary Ann and lover
*Reward: Some XP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[72] Annoying Little Kobold Shamans
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Kobold Hunter Myriam (High Elf Outpost- Heartland)
*Description: I have to slay five kobold shamans to take the fight out of the
other kobolds.
*Instructions: They'll show up on your minimap. Just chase them down one by
one. Each probably has other kobolds around it so be careful. If you can draw
them into fights with the undead to whittle down their numbers, so much
the better.
*Checkpoint: Killed Shamans
*Completion: Talked to Myriam
*Reward: Gold, XP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[73] The Last Drop
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Wine Merchant Jacque (just west of High Elf Outpost- Heartland)
*Description: The wine merchant is afraid to set foot in his own cellar,
apparently it's haunted! He has asked me to take a look around.
*Instructions: The cellar is right behind him and boy is it packed with
undead and rats! You might want to have some health potions, and remember
to use lots of flame attacks. Kill the undead, grab the book of the glorious
legion, and head back up for your reward. (The book can be found using the
circles on the mini-map)
*Checkpoint: Killed enemies, got book
*Completion: Talked to merchant
*Reward: 798 gold and some wine (health potion)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[74] A Long Journey
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Lina (Clearview)
*Description: A woman named Lina asked me to deliver a parcel to her son. He
is serving as commander for the human military and it is his birthday soon.
First, however, I must collect the parcel from the Der Effci trading post.
*Instructions: This IS a long journey! Also, if you take this on in act 1,
it's not completable right away. The first part isn't so bad, just move up
the main road until you come to the trading post, talk to the man there and
get the package. The second part of the quest IS a long journey, and it takes
you into a new region which you can't reach from act 1.
*Checkpoint:
*Completion:
*Reward:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[75] Blind Guardian
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Hansel (Clearview)
*Description: Blind Guardian is scheduled to give the last concert of their
Arcania tour. THey were robbed by undead metal fans on the way and their
instruments were stolen. I'm supposed to find Hansel's microphone and stand.
*Instructions: In a game full of bizarre quests, this one might take the cake.
You meet Hansel, one of the members of Blind Guardian, who has lost his
instruments. Some undead who were fans stole it from them. You have to go
get them back, by which we mean kill everybody who stole one. I guess heavy
metal bands are pretty hardcore about this stuff. So first off it is your
job to get his microphone, which is held by an undead guy south across the
bridge. Circle north around the copse of trees and kill him, then return the
microphone. Now you may be letting out a groan when Hansel says he's coming
with you to get the rest of the instruments but don't! This guy is METAL. His
microphone you gave him is actually a completely awesome lightning staff, and
he is invulnerable. Collect the guitar from the cave just to the north of
Clearview, then the other one from a field to the west. After this you head
due north to the undead camp and wipe out five undead legionnaires. There are a
ton of undead here, so be prepared. Talk to the undead fan after this for some
bizarre dialogue (if he was such a huge fan, why'd he steal the guitar in
the first place?). You are then teleported WAY down south. Talk to each of the
band members, then to Hansel. You are treated to a pretty awesome cutscene,
and after the show you get some COMPLETELY AWESOME equipment.
*Checkpoint: Get the microphone, get first guitar, get second guitar, kill
the undead legionnaires and talk to undead fan.
*Completion: Talk to each of the band members, then to Hansel. Watch the
concert.
*Reward: AMAZING equpiment and a neat cutscene
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[76] Mine Blockade
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Amras (Due south of Dragonmaw Pass, around some mountains)
*Description: It's said that ghosts haunt the mine. I've been asked to clear
the tunnels of this meace so that the laborers can go back to work
*Instructions: This mine is really massive, and while I know 25 of something
seems like a lot to kill there are easily twice that number of ghosts in here,
which makes it somewhat baffling to me that the miners would be happy with
just 25 dead. Anyway, there are also earth elementals and rats to worry about,
so line up the healing potions and stay on your toes. The ghosts are found
in small groups of 2-6, so be ready for that. The mine itself is, like I said,
huge. It might be a good idea to explore it fully and get quest 77 while you're
in here too. Once you're done head back out for your reward.
*Checkpoint: Killed 25 ghosts
*Completion: Check back in with Amras.
*Reward: Some gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[77] Haunted Mine
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Grenwyn (in mine described in quest 76, by east entrance)
*Description: A miner has asked me to destroy the ghosts of his coworkers. The
poor people were killed by pirates. He hopes to bring peace to their souls.
*Instructions: This is a search and destroy quest. Note that the ghosts are
different than those in quest 76- you can tell them because their feet are
on the ground. Beware the rats, other ghosts, and earth elementals in here.
Once the ghosts dissolve into thin air again return to Grenwyn.
*Checkpoint: Killed Ghosts
*Completion: Returned to Grenwyn
*Reward: 1557 gold!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[78] Meeting Geonamihr
*Available To: Any who completed quest 77
*Given by: Grenwyn (in mine described in quest 76, by east entrance)
*Description: The miner has asked me to kill Geonamhir, the captin of the
violent pirate gang. He's said to hide near the entrance to the mine.
*Instructions: Well just walk out the door and start pounding on the pirate
guards to start this one. Once they are dead talk to the captain himself- oh
wait not actually the captain just a stand-in. Darn actors. Anyway it's time
to hear west to the beautiful lakefront property of the actual scurvy dog. He
won't hear any reason and attacks along with his two guards. Simply dispatch
them (they aren't that tough, just regular pirates) and the quest is done!
*Checkpoint: Talked to fake pirate captain, talked to real pirate captain
*Completion: Kill pirate captain
*Reward: XP boost
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[79] The Diving Bell
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Master
*Description: An inventor has made a revolutionary creation. He made a machine
that allows walking and breathing underwater. I won't believe that until I see
it. The inventor needs a cogwheel for his machine, but his assistant hasn't
returned after being sent to get it. The inventor has asked me to look for him
and get the cogwheel.
*Instructions: Head down south to see the apprentice, or.... hm. What's left
of him. Get the thing and head back north. Another tragedy! Oh spit well I hope
we get to encounter the diving bell later!
*Checkpoint: Got cogwheel
*Completion: Talked to Master's son
*Reward: XP boost
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[80] The Wedding Ring
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Miner's Widow (just south of east mine entrance)
*Description: A widow has asked me to retrieve her husband's wedding ring from
the mine that he was killed in. Apparently the area around the mine is frought
with dangers.
*Instructions: Boy is that mine frought with dangers. The thing is enormous
and packed with earth elementals, ghosts, and rats. Make your way through it
slowly, keeping your health up. The ring itself is in a large pit in the
middle of the mine. Follow your minimap. Grab it and get out! There are a bunch
of other quests connected with this mine, and if you haven't already now would
be a good time to get started on 78. You're passing through that way anyway.
*Checkpoint: Got ring
*Completion: Returned to widow
*Reward: 1,557 Gold widow's coins. Doesn't she need them?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[81] The Slave-Driver
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Brutus Plutocratio (estate south of Clearview)
*Description: Slave Trader Brutus Plutocratio has asked me to bring him the
shackels of his escaped slaves, but he hasn't told me how I should do this.
*Instructions: The slaves are pretty close, but there are plenty of undead
between you and them. Head northwest, dealing with undead as you go. Whe you
reach them good characters will collect their shackles and head back.
*Checkpoint: Talked to slaves
*Completion: Talked to Brutus
*Reward: Can do quest 81 for good characters
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[82] Uncovered
*Available To: Any who have completed quest 81
*Given by: Brutus Plutocratus (estate south of Clearview)
*Description: Brutus Plutocratus has seen through my little ruse. Now he wants
to kill me. I should make sure he doesn't get the chance.
*Instructions: Uh-oh. Those people behind you don't look happy. Well they also
don't look that tough. They aren't. Buff yourself up and talk to the lead guy
when you're ready. Then take on the hunters.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Kill hunters and Brutus
*Reward: XP reward and you did a good deed!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[83] The Undead Legion
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Wylmieni (settlement south of Clearview)
*Description: An Undead Legion is apparently making this neighborhood unsafe.
The Thylysium Council sent a mage to look into this matter. She asked me to
assist her in her research. At Blessed Rock Manor there is supposed to be
a historian who might possibly have helpful documents in his records.
*Instructions: The manor is to the east, in the forest. There are a TON of
other quests here, so pick some up! To complete this quest just talk to the guy
who is in the house.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Talked to Lord Gemma's clerk
*Reward: Opens quest 98
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[84] The Prodigal Son
*Available To: Any

home to his parents. Can't thye look after their children properly?
*Instructions: Oh boy an escort mission. Babysit the kid, it's not far to go.
If you can one-hit kill enemies in this region that would be great. There
are usually a big group of pirates right outside the city walls, so take them
out and run in. Talk to the kid's day to end the mission.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Talked to child's father

better things to do than fight assassins all day. I should visit Ali.

so this should be no problem for you. After this talk to the apprentice then

seven enemies, each tougher than the last. That said, the only one who could
give you trouble is The Blood Sister, the last one. She hits really hard. A

people into monsters, but then I've heard some people consider poisonous fish
a delicacy.
*Instructions: Hoo BOY this is a gross drink. Ok so the T-energy fields are
pretty dangerous places, so make sure you're prepared (as you can be) before
you head there. When you reach the Bengaresh threshhold head east, and stop

stretch of desert too. If you have the resurrection stone from Khorem activated
then this becomes a lot easier, otherwise just cut westward through the open

INCREDIBLY irresponsible. You are agreeing to take these CHILDREN on this
VERY, VERY dangerous route. They will be attacked at all times. Anyway
to be honest I'm not sure if they are invincible or not. I would suspect
that they are because I just CHARGED up road towards the lake (which is
of course what they are going to see) and neither of them took a scratch.
You'll have to periodically listen to them complaining, the brats, and when
you finally reach the lake they'll eat the magic bean and teleport back to

to the leader and the whole mess will attack you. This is a tough battle!

better. Anyway it's a straightforward escort quest southeast to the outpost.

*Available To: Any who completed quest 166
*Given by: Antiques Dear (Tharum)
*Description: The antiques dealer said that the dubious tomb raider from whom
he bought the scond piece was probably in possession of the last missing
fragment. The tomb raider is ransacking the ruins near a small grotto right
now.
*Instructions: As dictated by law and tradition, this guy will not be
reasonable at all. In fact he is a huge jerk who is going to get both his

horrible monsters. Pfeh. Murder him quickly and take his scroll.

*Reward: Unlocks quest 227
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[227] Face to Face with the King
*Available To: Any who completed quest 226
*Given by: Gelminy (Nambriah)
*Description: We have deciphered the scroll but the meaning is still somewhat
cryptic. Now we are heading to the burial chamber of the king who died a long
time ago.
*Instructions: It's south of the city, and it's sort of underwhelming for a
burial chamber. Also it's a shame that the minimap spoils the puzzle for you
in this case. You were supposed to stand on particular "notches", or panels
in the floor, to make the king appear. The room itself is shaped like a key.
The problem is you just go stand where the minimap tells you and hey problem
solved. Anyway then the king appears. Take out all of his servants you can
before talking to him. He and his two toughest lieutentants will start bashing
on you when you talk to thim. They're quite tough and resurrect a few times
each. You might have to use some health potions. When they are done collect
the amulet and talk to Gelminy. Bid her farewell!
*Checkpoint: Reached tomb, pressed buttons, talked to King, defeated King,
got amulet

surrounding the ruins of Sulinar. A prehistoric, superior divinity rests
there and is waiting to be woken up. I've agreed to accompany him on this
little expidition. We'll have to be careful, because a hostile gorup of
Desert People lives there.
*Instructions: Uh-oh. This doesn't sound good. Anyway the place you're
looking for is in the gorge to the north. Make sure you approach it from
the south, going into the gorge from the southeast. There is no westward
entrance to the gorge for the whole bottom half.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ancient God. We are headed straight for wild Du'Rach territory!
*Instructions: Head east out of the gulch (and through the gulch, if you
teleported for the earlier quest) and then south to Sulinar. There will be
some slightly elevated levels of Du'Rach, but I don't think this area is
HORRIBLY more difficult.

*Reward: Unlocks quest 234
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Available To: Any who completed quest 236
*Given by: Limise (Dar Al Badja)
*Description: I was begged to protect the archaeologists from the Du'Rach.
I have to kill ten Raiders. The excavation site and the area surrounding it
must be protected!
*Instructions: A seek and find "kill these guys" quest. Follow your nose
to take out all ten of them. They aren't that tough and you only have to
fight them one or two at a time, so you can take time to heal between
encounters. Talk to Limise when you're done.
*Checkpoint: Killed raiders
*Completion: Talk to Limise
*Reward: Quest 238, 5312 gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks pretty bad. He's asked me to get a doctor. There's supposed to be
one at the beach down the path.
*Instructions: This is an escort quest, true, but it has an advantage over
other escort quests, at least in my mind, in that it lets you clear out the
escort path before you do the escort. Head on the path west to Na'Tian and
follow your nose to the doctor. Once you talk to her she'll follow you back
along the (hopefully) pretty clear path to the sick man. Keep a close eye on
her and this shouldn't be a tough quest.
*Checkpoint: Talked to healer
*Completion: Returned doctor to sick man
*Reward: An XP boost
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[240] The Boathouse
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Boathouse Keeper (North of Na'Tian)

your nose to it. Grab it and return. Watch out for garcema and hunting spiders!

that are relatively close to each other. Collect them gunning down Garcema
and spiders along the way, and then return.
*Checkpoint: Got the wood
*Completion: Returned to village elder
*Reward: The respect of a crazy man
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[243] Hunting Season
*Available To: Any who completed quest 181
*Given by: Keeper of the Forest (Archaeological Camp)
*Description: Some of the poachers weren't at the camp when the Guardian and I
attacked. I've been asked to locate and kill the rest. The guardian wants the
poachers' weapons as proof of my deeds. As far as I remember three poachers
are still missing.
*Instructions: This is another follow your nose style quest. There are three
hunters to take care of, and since they are thieves they should not be much
of a challenge. The Garcema warriors in the area may make this tough, however.
Have some healing potions and don't be afraid to withdraw for a bit.
*Checkpoint: Got poachers' weapons
*Completion: Returned to Keeper of the Forest
*Reward: She invites you deeper into the forest, and gives you an artefact

you'll have this for most of the game. What you have to do is find the 89,

nobility. He's sent me to track and expadition that got lost in the Orc

evil.

From there head east down a winding road to talk to Charos, who will open
the gate for you. Head through and make your way to the Royal Honky-Tonk.

cancels out the guy's debt. You are just SO nice. Go ahead and talk to Joshua,
who is right next to you, to learn that Rikal is kind of a jerk about
getting back his money, and has sent his thugs to go after another young
woman who is nearby. Follow your nose to her, and talk to her. After you take
out the thugs, talk to the husband who thanks you and lets you know about the
secret hideout Rikal has got going. Time to head there I guess. Once there
you'll see an inquisitor as well as Rikal and some thugs. Talk to the
inquisitor, who teleports out, and waste Rikal and the thugs. Now head to
the temple to pay that inquisitor a visit. See all them guys with swords? Yup.

*Instructions: As a brief public service announcement, if a visibly drunk man
asks if you want to see the dragon he has locked up in his cellar, just say
no. However, as you are an all-powerful being in this case, go ahead and go
to his cellar. Oh my goodness this is domestic abuse. Don't worry though, it's
hilarious because she is loud! Ugh. Anyway talk to her to finish the quest.

*Description: After my striking success the commander wants me to find the
nearby camp of the cultists and kil all but one, and then bring that one back
to him.

it so is "camp", the thing is just a statue that they hang around. Anyway it's
to the northeast, so head there now. Once you make it to the camp, there are
cultists to kill, but killed more making it here than there are cultists at the

*Instructions: Well you sure can! The camp is just north of you. There will

told me that this can be done from a nearby hidden cave.
*Instructions: Man this is the coolest cult ever! A temple with a magic shield,
a hidden deactivation cave, SO cool. Ok head up to the cave, being aware that
there will be cultists swarming all about. There are some more of them to kill
when you reach the cave, be aware that the shamans here are pretty high-
powered. Once you've killed all the marked enemies, touch the t-energy panel

their fun, I'll kill the cultists who are blocking the entrance to the cave.

part will be getting to the actual people to talk to. I played this on bronze
difficulty so I was one hit killing them and I was still getting swarmed
pretty bad. Anyway break through their barrier and talk to the cultist who

gold.

happened to them. It wouldn't surprise me in this neighborhood.
*Instructions: Their stuff is just at the base of the mountain, which is nice
because it is tough to get to the temple. You're just looking for their stuff,
which is behind a rock. With names like Heller and Quadling, they may have
just gotten beat up by a passing bully. Anyway return to the priest with the
sad news. He then sends you to get eight elemental essences, four from the

*Description: Two of the Thraconian scouts have taken up a position on a nearby
knoll. I'm supposed to neutralize them before they gather too much information
and have an opportunity to pass it along.
*Instructions: It's not too bad of a trek down to see the scouts. Head due
south and look for a way up the hill. You don't have to circle it to the
south. Talk to the scout, who is somewhat skeptical about your fighting
abilities. Prove them, then return to Bilter.
*Checkpoint: Talked to scout, killed scouts
*Completion: Returned to Bilter
*Reward: Unlocks quest 374
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[374] Impudence Wins!
*Available To: Any who completed quest 373
*Given by: Guard Gunaff (Pointed Peak)
*Description: A thieving beggar made off with the food that was brought as an
offering to the Gods. I'm supposed to take him a parcel with food, and tell him
that in the future he should leave the Gods' offerings alone.
*Instructions: This creep is just at the bottom of the ledge. Given how serious
the Gods seem to be about getting wronged, it's a good thing the quest wasn't
to flay the guy alive. Just talk to him to finish things.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Talked to beggar
*Reward: 2072 gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[375] Gathering Spume Herbs
*Available To: Any who completed quest 360
*Given by: Nemfilio the Physician (South of Island of Malday)
*Description: A healer on the island hid himself in a barrel during the
Thraconian attack. Now he reeks of rotten fish! He has asked me to gather some
herbs so that he can treat his surviving patients.
*Instructions: A pretty straighforward seek and find quest, just grab six
herbs while fending off some goblins and then return.
*Checkpoint: Got herbs
*Completion: Return to Nemfilio
*Reward: You helped some sick guys
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[376] The Olympic Potion
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Floyd Blantis (Entruag)
*Description: The local mangita team's doctor, Floyd Blantis has asked me to
fetch an invincibility potion from Libatte the Witch.
*Instructions: So first go talk to the witch lady. It then becomes a follow
your nose style quest to kill ten boars and get their testicles. You did read
that right. This is one bizarre potion. Anyway mop them up and head back.
She'll get really, really excited about the ingredients you just got her and
give you the potion. Head back to Floyd
*Checkpoint: Talked to witch, killed boars, talked to witch again
*Completion: Returned to Floyd
*Reward: One of each basic kind of potion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[377] The Lost Sword of Grammbrain the Mighty
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Ulof (Entruag)
*Description: I have met a young Orc warrior called Ulof. He told me the
old saga of Grammbrain the mighty Orc warrior. Legend has it that Grammbrain
single-handedly defeated an army of Demons with his magic sword. Ulof has
discovered the hero's grave where Grammbrain and his sword are buried. If the
sword truly exists, it would be worth a little detour
*Instructions: The cave you're looking for is actually in town, which makes
it quite handy to access. It's not heavily guarded either! Just a couple of
bats and bears and such. When you get there, get ready to get disappointed.
It's just a dang 'ol iron bar! Well, take it back.
*Checkpoint: Got iron bar
*Completion: Brought iron bar to Ulof
*Reward: Gold and one disappointed orc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[378] Feuding Clans
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Knarx Axegrinder (Entruag)
*Description: A warrior from the Gurag Orc clan asked me to free the kidnapped
wives from the hands of the enemy Orcs. I can't exactly refuse this request,
since I'm sort of a member of the clan.
*Instructions: Well, when I first got the quest I was nothing of the sort, but
I guess the game assumes people don't explore too thourougly. Anyway you'll
follow your nose to the enemy camp. Slaughter all the guards around, because
once the special quest guard is dead this becomes an escort mission. You'll
want to immeditally teleport back to Entruag to avoid having the womenfolk die
on you. Talk to Knarx to end it.
*Checkpoint: Killed guard, made it back with women
*Completion: Talked to Knarx
*Reward: Gold and the respect of the clan.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[379] Wantanor, Ogre Champion
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Gargaduck (Entruag)
*Description: Ogre warrior Gargaduck has asked me for 25 Troll hearts. He
wants to make a sacrifice to Wantanor, the legendary Ogre warrior and Troll
slayer. I have to take the hearts to Wantanor's statue and put them down there.
*Instructions: This is essentially a difficult seek and find. Trolls are not
the easiest buggers to kill, so putting them down might be a challenge. There
is a very fertile troll hunting ground to the southeast of Entruag in the
mountains, including a cave with a bunch of them, so try there. Take things
slow and keep healed. Once they are all toast, the statue shows up on your
minimap. Follow your nose to it and drop off the hearts, then return.
*Checkpoint: Got 25 troll hearts, dropped of hearts at shrine
*Completion: Returned
*Reward: Shoulder pads and an elixer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[380] Feeding Time
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Pakmarah (Entruag)
*Description: Pakmarah is a weird little Goblin with an even weirder kind of
grammar. Right now he has something of a problem. His master is hungry and
demands to be served venison, but nobody can find the Goblin hunter.
Pakmarah has asked me to kill a deer and then tell him where I have left it.
Some days I could eat a deer too...
*Instructions: This is pretty simple: the deer doesn't put up much of a fight
and it appears on your minimap right for the taking. Kill it and head back
to Pakmarah
*Checkpoint: Killed deer
*Completion: Returned to Pakmarah
*Reward: Gold and gratitude
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[381] Nargutz Derby
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Celal Candymoon (Entruag)
*Description: The Orcs call their brutal sport "Nargutz". Apparently the
objective of the game is to carry a Troll head into the opposing team's
end zone, and how you accomplish that is up to you. The local derby match
between Entruag and Tharak is soon. Unfortunately some Trolls have decided to
set up camp in the kick off zone. Unless they're removed the match will have
to be canceled. Celial Candymoon the Orc asked me to kill the Trolls and bring
back one of the skulls- just in case the Orcs need an extra ball for the game.
*Instructions: This is essentially just a really tough seek n' find, where
you'll have to defeat 11 trolls on the field. Follow your nose to them and
remember to heal up between battles. Once they are all done you'll have to
face off against a Troll Warlord. Once he's dead, take his head back to
Celal.
*Checkpoint: KIlled trolls, killed troll warlord, picked up head
*Completion: Returned to Celal
*Reward: Gold, unlocks quest 382
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[382] Plan Put Into Action
*Available To: Any who completed quest 381
*Given by: Shaman Tinytot
*Description: I have given the Troll's head to the shaman and he is making
a Nargutz ball from it. He will tell me about the plan when he's finished.
*Instructions: This quest is way easier than 382. Wait a few seconds while the
shaman messes with the head. After that follow your nose to the place where you
put it, place it there, and head back to Celal.
*Checkpoint: Talked to shaman, placed head in bushes
*Completion: Returned to Celal
*Reward: Master's hoop and potion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[383] Master Of the Hunt
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Guntha Spearsharpener (Southern end of Nor Plat)
*Description: An Orc by the name of Guntha was bragging about being the Master
Hunter of the clan. According to him, hunting boar is the supreme test of an
Orcs hunting skills. He wants me to bring him the head of a boar pack leader
so that I can be accepted into this elite circle of hunters. It's amazing that
and Orc can pronounce such a long term without making a mistake. To get the
leader to come, I have to kill as many boars as possible in a short amount of
time. That is supposed to attract the leader. I'd better get to work then!
*Instructions: Ok this one is timed, and almost no quest is timed, so be
alert. You'll want to kill the mounted boars QUICKLY. Once they are done, the
big daddy comes out, and you'll have a big fight in front of you. Take it down
and get back to Guntha
*Checkpoint: Killed boar attackers, killed big boar
*Completion: Returned to Guntha
*Reward: Nifty hunting gear
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[384] The Tooth Fairy
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Ollagga (Sloptok)
*Description: Ollagga's husband has toothache, but he refuses to go to the
tooth puller. So would I, to be honest. She asked me to start a fight with him
and knock his tooth out. It sounds a bit rough, but if it does the job...
*Instructions: This is a straight up fight. Head over to the guy and clock him.
One or two hits should do it, and he falls over. He isn't dead don't worry!
Wait for him to get up and talk to him.
*Checkpoint: Defeated Ollagga's husband
*Completion: Talk to husband
*Reward: 2110 gold and a worthwhile fight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[385] Wedding Anniversary
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Xatta (Sloptok)
*Description: The widow Xatta lost her husband two years ago. He died a heroic
death... in a tavern. I'm supposed to get her six boar tusks so that she can
sacrifice them to Katan. One for every year of their marriage.
*Instructions: Just one of those seek and find thangs. You know how they roll
by now. Find the boars roaming around in the wilderness, kill them, get their
tusks, meet the lady by the Temple of the Gods.
*Checkpoint: Got boar tusks
*Completion: Talked to woman
*Reward: Her gratitude and some xp.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[386] Pure Water
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Shaman Smoothroot (Sloptok)
*Description: Smoothroot the Shaman has asked me to gather seven wrathberries.
Apparently he needs the berries to cleanse the well in his village. The berries
only grow in areas inhabited by Trolls. Or to be more precise- they only
grow in Troll turds.
*Instructions: Most disturbing to me about this quest is that there are troll
droppings around everywhere and you've just been STEPPING in them. Anyway
the berries are all real close together, in a field to the northwest. Head
there and keep an eye on your companions, they really like to up and die,
especially from the meteor attacks and such. Once you've got them I would
teleport back immedtially
*Checkpoint: Got berries
*Completion: Returned to shaman.
*Reward: Some nice gear and some gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[387] Noveau Varguz
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Chieftain Gintonik Icelump (Tharak)
*Description: The Orc Chieftain Gintonik has given me a scroll from his
brother's estate. The deceased Orc was a keen varguz player, whatever varguz
is. Maybe Con hid his fortune somewhere? Let's see what this scroll says.
*Instructions: Ok so the cave you're looking for is to the southeast. Head
there and be prepared to deal with the albino rats in the place. Now I don't
know if this is the truth for everybody, or if I just happened to do things
right the first time, but I talked to the castle looking thing, the tower,
and that apparently opened the chamber on the chessboard. Head on in and
get the book. I...guess that ends at it?
*Checkpoint: Found cave, moved chesspiece
*Completion: Got book.
*Reward: You ended a bizarre quest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[388] Fan Scarves
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Toriak (Tharak)
*Description: Seamaster Toriak has run out of cloth. He wants to make fan
scarves for the upcoming Nargutz game, but he needs more cloth. He's asked me
to search the becah for rolls of cloth that have been washed ashore. He said a
ship wrecked there recently and its cargo might still be around.
*Instructions: Sort of a seek and find, only with little helpful bubbles
showing you where everything is. Go to the first- nothing there. No luck on
the second either. It's the third little circle that's paydirt. Open the chest
and get back to Toriak
*Checkpoint: Reached waypoints
*Completion: Opened chest
*Reward: Some gold and you don't have to wear his stupid scarf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[389] The Legend of Gronkor
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Orc Chief Contex (End of small road by Tharak)
*Description: The legendary Orc Hero Gronkor lies buried in this cave.
Apparently Gronkor is one of the most famous warriors in all of Orc history.
Both of the Orc clans claim to bear his right hand with their standard, but
even an Orc hero can only have one right hand. One of the clans must be
mistaken. The clans want to decide once and for all who really has Gronkor's
right hand. Thye asked me to enter the cave and find out which hand is the real
one. Orcs are not allowed to enter this sacred place.
*Instructions: Man I called this one before I finished it. Head on into the
tomb. It's kind of weird in there, there are orcs and goblins in pots that
you can't hit. Make your way to the grave site and find out that both sides
were wrong! Ok now time to get out. There are ancestral spirits milling about
when you try to leave, so blast them and bring the news to Contex.
*Checkpoint: Found gravesite
*Completion: Returned to Contex
*Reward: Unlocks quest 390
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[390] You Scratch My Back
*Available To: Any who completed quest 389
*Given by: Orc Chief Contex (End of small road by Tharak)
*Description: The clans have decided to make he best of a bad situation. They
asked me to reenter Gronkor's grave and bring back both his hands so they can
share them. These orks really are quite a handful/
*Instructions: Just head back to that place you were before. The ancestor
spirits aren't happy to see you are and are kind of swarming, so they'll take
a bit of dealing with. Reaching the tomb ends this quest.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Reached tomb
*Reward: Unlocks quest 391
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[391] Happy Orcs
*Available To: Any who completed quest 390
*Given by: Finishing quest 390
*Description: Gronkor has awakened! I will have to fight him!

three and hoof it back out. Contex is happy to see you.
*Checkpoint: Killed Gronkor
*Completion: Returned to Contex

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[392] The Fat Rat
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Shama Fellir Thornripper (Kargah)
*Description: Fellir the Orc Priest is in a pickle. He needs a nice, fat rat
that he can sacrifice to the God of teh Rats for the Festival of Fury.
Unfortunately all his best rats were killed off by a rat plague. If he can't
find a rat that will appease the God o the Rats, then the Law of Grumok
demands that Fellir sacrifice himself. Fellir has asked me to secretly
acquire a rat from the Priests of the neighboring tribes. These Orcs are just
amazing.
*Instructions: Ok this doesn't sound too bad. Just head over to the nearest
village as marked on your minimap and.... oh. Well. Looks like you blew your
cover and the shaman hates your questgiver. Also this ends the quest. Hm. Well,
before you write him off as dead notice the new circle that's shown up on
your minimap. Head there.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Talked to Shaman
*Reward: Unlocks quest 394
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[393] 7 Days of Rainy Weather

*Given by: Flutok Scatterbrain (Kargah)
*Description: An Orc shaman tried a rain spell but it was a little too
effective. Now it won't stop raining and he needs a counter spell to stop the
rain. He needs the heart of a Troll shaman for the counter spell. If this
works I'll eat my hat.
*Instructions: Well, he wants a shaman heart he'll get one. This is a one-off
follow your nose and kill it quest. Be warned that troll shamans are tough
buggers, so be prepared before you engage. Warp and head back.
*Checkpoint: Got heart
*Completion: Returned to Flutok
*Reward: Unlocks quest 395
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Description: A good hearted Orc lady has accidentally thrown her husband's
favorite chain in the fire. She wants to make a new chain before he notices
his loss. She asked me to bring her six kobold heads and three kobold guts.
Orcish fashion is something else!
*Instructions: Ok a seek and find quest and not a bad one at that either.
The kobolds are right next to the village. Grab them and give her the
components.
*Checkpoint: Got parts
*Completion: Gave Knutsmilla parts
*Reward: 7903 gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[395] Rat Tails
*Available To: Any who completed quest 393
*Given by: Flutok Scatterbrain (Kargah)
*Description: Just as I expected. The Troll heart didn't do the trick. Now I'm
supposed to get five fats tails. I'm going to guess that they're the wrong
ingredient too.
*Instructions: Well, let's find out. The cave is in town, so getting the tails
is no problem, and rats aren't exactly high class opponents. Collect them and
head back!
*Checkpoint: Got the tails
*Completion: Returned to the shaman. Hey big surprise.
*Reward: Unlocks quest 396
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[396] Hare Paws

*Description: The remedy now requires hare paws instead of rat's tails.
Anybody want to make a wager?

less intimidating every time? What next, pillows?
*Checkpoint: Got the hares paws
*Completion: Returned
*Reward: Unlocks quest 397
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[397] Kobold Paws
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Flutok Scatterbrain (Kargah)
*Description: The shaman seems to be having a bad day. DId he really misread
that? Instead of hare paws he now wants hairy paws. And that would mean
kobold paws. No bets yet?
*Instructions: Sigh. We all know what's going on here. Get the paws. Get back.
Try not to get so angry you kill him.
*Checkpoint: Got kobold paws. West of the city.
*Completion: Returned

[398] Couldcuckoo Weed
*Available To: Any who completed quest 398
*Given by: Flutok Scatterbrain (Kargah)

the west of town. Bring it back.
*Checkpoint: Got the weed
*Completion: Brought the weed to Flutok

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[399] The Chieftain
*Available To: Any who completed quest 398
*Given by: Flutok Scatterbrain (Kargah)
*Description: Who would have guessed? The couldcuckoo weed wasn't the right
ingredient. The shaman thinks maybe I should go and speak with the chief of
the clan.
*Instructions: Well, better go talk to him. He's in a nearby hut.
*Checkpoint: None
*Completion: Talked to Chief
*Reward: Unlocks quest 400
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[400] A Radical Solution

*Given by: Chieftain (Kargah)
*Description: I'm supposed to kill Flutok the Shaman. The Orc Chief hopes that
it will make the rain stop.

if you don't feel any better after he's dead.
*Checkpoint: Killed shaman
*Completion: Returned to Chief
*Reward: Money and SATISFACTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[401] Gar'Colossus (light)
*Available To: Any who completed quest 246
*Given by: The Broker (Orcish Byway)
*Description: I found the broker scared witless. A golem was attacking the
town, and he said if I killed it, he'd stop the slave trafficking. The
creatuer is surrounded by a T-Energy Shield. The magical blazing s tones must
surely hold the key to victory.
*Instructions: I don't know if there is some fancy pants way to end this, but
I just ran down the ramp and thrashed the Gar'Colossus within an inch of its
life. Then I came back to the dude. He said some things, then I went north
and talked to another man who told me to go to orc territory. Check.
*Checkpoint: Killed colossus, talked to man, talked to academy guy
*Completion: Talked to orc in orc territory
*Reward: Unlocks quest 403

looking into the appearance of the Golem. He has noticed some newly created
Earth Elementals and is worried about the mutations T-Energy might cause.
I've been asked to kill the creatures before they get too strong.
*Instructions: They are all in and around the ramp, so find them and give them
a pounding. They are various levels of big and nasty, so be sort of careful
about which ones you take on. Take them on and head backto Beltario
*Checkpoint: Defeated golems
*Completion: Returned to Beltario
*Reward: Gold and some potions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[403] Among Orcs (light)
*Available To: Any who completed quest 402
*Given by: Completing quest 402
*Description: I arrived at the place where "the magic flows from the earth".
An Orc told me to enter the fighting arena and prove my skills by killing the
Earth Elementals. Maybe they will accept me when I am succesful.
*Instructions: OK this is one long string of battles. Just what you'd expect
from some orcs, right? To complete this you'll first have to go into the pit
with the warring elementals and kill you up a few of them. After they are dead
talk to the orc outside, who directs you to the chief, who makes you a brother
of one of the clans. So go talk to one of their warriors, who directs you to
a village getting attacked by trolls. Go to the upstairs of their lodge there
and talk to the chief, who wants you to take out 10 trolls. Be careful with
this one, don't be afraid to use the other orcs there to help whittle the
trolls down. Grab the heads and talk to that orc twice. He'll make a necklace
from the teeth. Take that to the chieftain in the cith up north, who then
wants you to assassinate the leader of an invasion force. The invasion is
directly above the city. Again, use the orcs to absorb the brunt of the enemy
attack and only concern yourself with the enemy general. Once he's toast
head back to talk to the head orc who directs you to the BIG head orc and
ends the quest.
*Checkpoint: Talked to orc, killed elementals, talked to chief, talked to
warrior, talked to town chief, killed ten trolls, talked to town chief two
times, talked to head chief up north, killed leader of invasion squad
*Completion: Returned to chief

[404] Wet Danger (light)
*Available To: Any who completed quest 403
*Given by: Completing quest 403
*Description: I finally met the clanleader of the Gruntag Clan. He says the
clans have called a temporary truce to try and solve a problem. Something has
blocked the river that flows through the region, backing it up into a lake. A
water monster called Octaglomus has risen out of this lake and is attacking the
members of all the clans. It has become a point of honor to see who can kill
the monster, and whichever clan succeeds will become extremely influential in
the Orcs' society. The clanleader confided in me that he believes the monster
is strong only in the water and on swampy ground. Where the ground is dry,
it's weaker and slower. I musts escort a shaman to the river. He will perform
a magic ritual to dry the well.
*Instructions: Uh oh it is boss battle time! Woo! Ok so talk to the chief
orc to learn about the troubles they have been having with that big 'ol
octopus. You get a shaman (invincible) to escort to a well so he can run it
dry. Go head there, and the shaman will do his magic. Once that's done you
can head through a previously locked door to go fight Mr. Giant Octopus. Once
he is toast, head back to the chieftain, then talk to the elves, who are jerks,
and finally to a ships captain up north.
*Checkpoint: Talked to orc chief, escorted shaman to river, defeated giant
octopus, talked to shaman, talked to elf
*Completion: Talked to ship's captain

*Available To: Any
*Given by: Saskia (Northwest Seraphyria)
*Description: Seraphim Saskia is curious to know if I can win against a demon.
I'm supposed to put my knowledge to the test in some sort of arena. Naturally
I accepted the challenge.
*Instructions: Just a straight fight, the demon you'll fight is a big bruiser,
so have those health potions out. You may want to use your god power, but you
probably won't have to.
*Checkpoint: Killed demon
*Completion: Returned to Saskia
*Reward: Unlocks quest 406
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[406] More Demons
*Available To: Any who completed quest 405
*Given by: Saskia (Seraphim Arena)
*Description: Now I'm supposed to go up against three Demons at the same
time. Hopefully they're a little more skillful than the last.
*Instructions: Ok this one is a bit tougher. I would say in fact three times
as tough. God powers are perfectly acceptible here, and remember you can
take as long as you want between fights so you can recharge it before the
next one.
*Checkpoint: Killed demons
*Completion: Returned to Saskia
*Reward: Unlocks quest 407
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[407] Even More Demons
*Available To: Any who completed quest 406
*Given by: Saskia (Seraphim Arena)
*Description: Here we go again! those couple of Demons weren't enough.
*Instructions: Yeah this lady is tough to impress. This time it's you versus
SIX demons, so make sure you got your killin' shoes all shined and ready. If
you can possibly try to kill them one at a time, maybe hitting one with a
distance attack, try not to get mobbed. God powers are great here. Use them
and move one.
*Checkpoint: Killed demons
*Completion: Returned to Saskia
*Reward: Skullcap and a potion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[408] Almost Godlike
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Nicole (Northeast Seraphyria)
*Description: Seraphim nicole has given me an important assignment. I have to
kill a Dragon! Magmadur is an old, despotic Dragon who has been taunting the
Seraphim for a while now. Sophia sent Ambassador Katharina to him, but he
killed her in cold blood. That calls for vengeance. I will strip the scales
from this monster!
*Instructions: Alright brace yourself because this is a boss type battle
against a real life dragon. Magmadur has all the attacks you'd expect of a
dragon of his stature- flying, claws, fire breath. You'll want to stay close
to avoid the fire breath, and when he flies, watch out because taht is when
he really lets loose with the fire. When he lies dead, you'll teleport back.
*Checkpoint: Talked to Magmadur, killed Magmadur
*Completion: Talked to Nicole
*Reward: All the loot you can fish from the dragon,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[409] Researcher
*Available To: Any
*Given by: Nadja (Northeastern Seraphyria)
*Description: Seraphim Nadja seems to be pretty stressed out. She's working on
a weird looking thing that she calls a console. She is so focused on her work
that she forgot to stude a few Ice Elementals that were "switched" last week.
Apparently the Seraphim are able to create monsters on demand. I'm supposed to
kill 20 Ice Elementals and bring Nadja their crystals.
*Instructions: This one is a little tough just because of the relative lack of
monsters on the island (by which I mean you aren't tripping over thirty of
them every two feet) and she wants TWENTY of them, which seems like a bit
much. They aren't much of a challenge, just remember to do elemental damage.
Grab 'em and return 'em.
*Checkpoint: Got 20 crystals
*Completion: Returned to Nadja
*Reward: Unlocks quest 410, some gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[410] Studies of Ice Elementals
*Available To: Any who completed quest 409
*Given by: Nadja (northeastern Seraphyria)
*Description: Nadja has asked me for another favor. She needs 15 crystals
from Stone Elementals. I'd love to know if she really needs all this stuff, or
if she's just trying to look important.

I'll be able to find some at a site in the Dragon region where an Orc

him back to the beach unharmed.
*Instructions: OH BOY an escort quest. I don't like this one especially, and
you know how much I love escort quests in general. The problem with this one
is that the enemies down here are really too tough for our orcy friend, and

those heartscales for the amulet of protection. I should join with the hunter

overgrown.

where you'll find a big 'ol angry flying demon named "lava flow" I guess. Huh.

Many of them think that the Elves are destroying the island by farming,
mining, and cutting down the trees. In order to be allowed to go inland, I

shut it down to stop the pollution of the air it causes by constantly belching

attack the goodness out of you. Beat them into the ground and head back, and

gorge himself on them.

*Description: A Dryad agent asked me to help her. A cursed medallion was stolen
from her and she must get it back before the thieves can cause any damage with
it.
*Instructions: Oh man I don't like this quest. Ok so part of it is that it's
an escort quest, but it doesn't matter if your escort dies (sort of) so that's
nice. Head with her over to the east to talk to the pirates. Kill all of them.
That's what I mean by talk. Ok once they are all dead you can go and talk to
this guy that's alive now. Get to know him. You and he will diagree
FUNDAMENTALLY on what it means for an entrance to "not be that far away".
What doesn't help is that the stupid quest icon seems to indicate that you
want to go through the strip mine entrance. Maybe this used to be an
entrance? Maybe it is if you go through the main quest more? Anyway the actual
place you want is against the mountains on the west end of the island. Head
there and go into the tomb. Now you have to pass by the Forest Guardian to
get there and frankly I'm not sure if your Agent CAN stay alive through this
whole trek. Mine certainly died. Head to the tomb, find the crpyt, kill the
zombie.

enter into the east wind you'll want to head south, the door to the garden is
locked. Wind your way past seemingly endless amounts of undead and bats,
until you reach an "outdoors" area. You're still technically in a dungeon, but
it looks like gardens. Don't neglect the Temple of the Gods here, which is in
my opinion the hardest one to find. Pick you way down to the inquisitor who you

totally crazy. He's locked himself in a room. I'm supposed to speak with the
dungeon master's secretary.
*Instructions: Wait, what? His SECRETARY? Do Dungeon Masters have to deal with
a lot of correspondance? Ugh whatever. Instead of there being ghosties and
undead guys in this place there are a lot of cultists. Take them out in a big
battle royale (it helps if you have some invulnerable followers), and then
see the secretery who doesn't care if you off his boss. Some loyalty! Anyway
get the key, open the door, and take the man on. He's not that impressive,
though he gets his own name in the bad guy names book. Anyway break his bones
and get his pendant. Once you have it just head on back to get the next
part of this long quest.

[548] Lethal Crystal (light)
*Available To: Any who completed quest 501
*Given by: Queen (Dyr-Laigh)
*Description: I arrived at the main city and discovered the reason for the
unusual nature of the little girl I rescued- she is actually the Queen of the
Dryads! So many lives in the hands of one so young... She said she was
abducted by orders of the Grand Inquisitor to force her to reveal the location
of the key to him. The Queen told me that the key is hidden in the Crystal
Caves. It is safe there because the caves are being guarded by the
Facetiteiron- a monster so ferocious that no one has ever managed to get
past it.
*Instructions: Well YOU better get past it. The angriest crystal by far in
this game is in a cave up north. It is big and strong and boy will you need
some health potions to beat it down, I promise. Once it's dead move past it
to get the key from the pedestal with the light shining down. After that just
head your bad self out to the docks and talk to the guy.

Right One. Once that drops it's down to see the alchemist- follow your nose
to him to get the clean water. Return.

Grand Inquisitor have conquered this hill and they are now defending it against
the troops of Liosilath. An officer told me to meet Liosalath on the side
of the battle field.
*Instructions: Not only have his troops held the field, there are also
burning skeletons and demons all up in your business. This quest is pretty
much just a "follow the critical point indicators" quest, but there is plenty
to keep you busy along the way. You'll fight an inquisitor that took out a
seraphim, as well as Nimonuil, the grand inquisitor himself. He takes quite
a drubbing before he goes down, let me tell you! Clear the area of his lesser
enemies first before taking on the big guy.

This is my final test. I will take on my fellow student... and of course I
will observe general rules.
*Instructions: Man, is there any rule against having duels not fought among
wildy mismatched opponents? Your opponent is slow to attack, doesn't move,

the bridge, and follow the road northeast. Follow your nose to the Camp by

Inquisitor's shack in the capital. Oh and NOW this stupid guard thinks we are
a thief? Nothing for it my droogs, we'll have to waste him. And it's not hard.
The other guard lets you right in, and you learn that you have to prove
yourself in the arena. Just to be clear here, you want some guards to defend a
critical inquisition post. And you have to PROVE yourself? This is insanity.
But it's the best kind of insanity. The kind where you MURDER. So go talk to

identifying people. Well the guards aren't much of a threat, so once they're
wasted go ahead and move to the temple. Nimmy says he'll hire you if you want
to serve the inquisition (I AM ALREADY AN INQUISITOR NIMONUIL, OF COURSE I
WANT TO SERVE), and you get a ring that lets you through the northern gates!
Make sure you are levelled a bit before heading up there, but just show the
ring to the guard by the gates in the northeast of Tyr Lysia, and you're out!

being attacked by wolves. WOLVES. How on earth. Whatever, massacre the fanged
menaces, and you'll learn that the broker's partner runs a tavern in Valeview.

convincing to talk, which sounds like EXACTLY the kind of thing you're good at.
Murder his two guards, and he'll give you a place to go. Don't trust the loser
though. Don't try to be nice in the shadow campaign! Jeez. Murder him now and
get some phat lewt as well as the real directions, or believe him and go on a

*Given By: Honky-Tonk Tavern Owner

village was being attacked by the Gar'Colossus - a Golem. The coward. It
didn't take much to convince him to sell the girls to the Grand Inquisitor.
All I have to do is kill the Golem and my mission is completed. The creature
is surrounded by a T-Energy shield The magical blazing stones must surely be
the key to victory.
*Instructions: I like how you're so contemptuous of the owner being terrified
by this ENORMOUS FRIGGIN GOLEM. Well, you'll have to deactivate the T-energy
barrier. Do this by scrambling around and pressing the glowing stones, then
heading down into the pit. This'll be your first big boss battle, so be

Several Orc clans are at feud with each other, and lately the Ore-Thag-Clan has
the upper hand. He told me to find the leader of that clan and offer to help
him win. In return, once the Orcs are unified, the Grand Inquisitor will call
upon the support of the Ore-Thag Clan in our battles to come.
*Instructions: Alright time for some politics. Go talk to the Ore-Thag warrior
to the west, just south of Ruka. You'll meet with the Orc elder then, who
decides you need a little bloodshed to get admitted into the clan. Simple
enough, so go into the arena and kill you some earth elementals. Once that's
through, they say since you're so bloody-minded you might as well go with the
Ore-Thags. Good enough for me! Go talk to the chief, who points you towards
some other orcs who insulted them. You'll have to teach them a lesson (a
murderlesson), so go talk to the spy who is north in Ruka. He'll point you
toward some orcs you got to kill, so do the deed and talk to him agian. Oops!
Some spies got captured. Well no worry, they're nearby on a hillside, so just
head up, kill the captors, and return to him and then the chieftain. You're
through!

[565] Wet Danger (Dark)
*Available to: Any who completed quest 564
*Given By: Chieftain Klop-Tok
*Description: What rotten timing! I arrived at the leader's camp right in the
middle of some big clan meeting. He won't pay any attention to me until this
problem is cleared up. It seems something has blocked the river to create a
lake. Some sort of creature is living there now. It has poisoned the watter
and is attacking the Orcs. The clans have agreed to cancel their favorite sport
of killing each other until the monster is dead. They all want to be the first
to kill the damn thing, so naturally I've got to go out and do battle in the
name of the good old Ore-Thag Clan. At least the chief gave me a hint for
fighting the monster - if I blow up the dam that's blocking the river, it will
dry out the area and that will weaken the monster. Apparently he's tried this
arleady, but the Orcs carrying the gunpowder were killed by fellow Orcs. They
were furious because the poisonous water would consequently kill many Orcs. If
I can recover the gunpowder, I can destroy the dam and kill the monster. The
chief doesn't give a rat's ass about the Orcs who might die in the valley.
Figures!
*Instructions: Alright I hope you cats and kittens are COMPLETELY READY for
another thrilling boss battle! This dang 'ol Octagolamus has blocked the river
that runs through the orc region. Follow your nose first to the dead ambushed
group of orcs that have the gunpowder, and take it. Place it where the little
barrel is on the dam, and the dam will blow. Head north and deal with our octo-
friend. Remember, it's much easier if you can draw him north out of the water.
He'll be much weaker there. Still, expect to be on a heath potion IV drip for
this mission. Octo will go down eventually, so get his loot and head back to
the chief, who lets you talk to the captive elves. Head north, talk to them,
then pack your bags and get ready to head to Seraphim-land!
*Checkpoint: Talk to Klop-Tok, find gunpowder, take gunpowder to dam, blow up
dam, kill Octogolamus, talk to chief, talk to elves

*Description: Some blathering fool outside the palace let slip that there used
to be a sculpture of something called The Great Machine on the pedestal in the
village square, and that some pieces are still in a closed wing of the palace.

visit to the local librarian.
*Instructions: So first thing when you get to the island, you'll want to
follow your nose to the Maid of the Seraphim. She'll tell you about the
broken sculputre of the great machine, which is now broken. There are now
markers for you to follow to get to the pieces. And... get lectured. SO sweet.

*Given By: Bounty Hunter
*Description: I met a bounty hunter who told me that there are two kinds of
Dragons, roaming and settled ones. It seems he's afraid of the settled ones,
and likes to stay on good terms with them. What a gutless wonder. The Dragons
hold Humans in slave camps, but a guy called "Blackhammer" recently freed a
bunch of them. Gutless here wants to return twenty of them alive to appease
the Dragon Ordaurcl- can't hurt to play along in case the reward is good. And
if it's not, I can always have some fun with the magic amulet he gave me that
makes the slaves obey our commands when it touches them. Time to head out...
*Instructions: So to start with you'll get an amulet, and have to follow your
nose around to the slaves. They'll get a white ring around their feet, that
lets you know that they're enslaved again. Mua ha ha. After this go find the
dragon, who in a stupendous show of being a jerk, decides not to actually give
you any reward at ALL, but to attack you. A good tip is to take out all the
enemies around the dragon before talking to him, to make the dragon fight
easier. Once that's done, go see the bounty hunter who directs you to ANOTHER
dragon. Great. So you find him, and he tells you to kill some of his snacks
that have escaped. Follow your nose to them, off them, and return to Aetzel.
He'll show you where the settlement that'll make you the amulet of protection
from the dragon scale is, so head there. Once there, talk to the commander,
agree to hide them, and go find that dragon!

in Hisui'Sul, making sure to grab the marker nearby. You'll be tasked with

===============================================================================
[CBT]
Here will go the list of combat strategies, along with what moves work better
Temple Guardian: The Temple Guardian can focus on ranged or melee combat. As
a ranged fighter, attention should be put into the raned weapon category as
well as speed and regeneration of abilities. Close combat should focus more
on defensive abilities such as T-Energy Shroud.
Firey Ember works really well for taking out groups of enemies, and Archimedes
cannon is excellent for one tough one.

Combat Arts
This section details the combat art "perks" that each character can get. These
can be assigned slots just like weapons, and come in three aspects. It's
advisible to assign your slots to powers on different aspects, as once one
power for a certain aspect is used, all those powers must recharge. There is no
"mana", just a recharge time. These powers can be learned by reading Runes,
and sometimes when you level up you can put points into them. The points
will move you along either the High Track or Low track, each with their own
benefits

Orcish Cooking
At first glance, Orcish cooking seems pretty plain and simple. There are not
exactly many detailed and elaborate recipes to be found in the Orc cuisine.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why Orcish food has become increasingly
popular in the civilized areas of Ancaria during recent years. People are fed
up with sophisticated, strange dishes and they want to experience the taste of
nature and wilderness. Back to the roots! Or should we say: Back to the meat?
In every bigger town, there is at least one Orcish restaurant these days. More
and more people seem to enjoy the unusual and exotic taste of Orcish food in
combination with real event gastronomy like bar-room brawls, eating with hand
and scimitar and beating up the cook after the meal. Of course, the food in
those restaurants is slightly tweaked and adjusted to civilized standards. Orcs
are occasionally eating things that many people would consider inedible. Many
of them do not even have a name in our language, some not even in Orcish. This
book have been written to give you an overview of the Orcish way of cooking and
we would like to make you curious about this very special kind of food.
There are a few basic principles for Orcish cooking. The grand Orcish chef
Gkratulak once described the philosophy of Orcish cooking in his (admittedly
very short) book "Orc Food for Every Day" (3. ed.)
"Kill living being and cook it."
Note, that in the Orcish language, there is no specific word for cooking. The
corresponding word "hthak" describes the general process of preparing food. The
condition of the food when it is being eaten does not really matter, neither
does the type of animal. Also, the removal of skin, fur, feathers or scales is
optional.
Although the above quote is - in the true charm of Orcish tongue - a little
short-spoken, the principle still holds true: Orcish cookery requires meat.
Lots of meat! The more the better. There simply is no Orcish dish without meat.
Or the other way round: it is not easy to find something in an Orcish dish
that's NOT meat. There is an Orcish saying. They say: Karukh nah erak. Karuki
toptzak an erak. (translation: If it doesn't move, eat it. If it moves, hit it.
Then eat it.)
When it comes to beverages, the Orcish cuisine is even more straightforward.
Orcs are drinking beer or - if they are too young for beer (1-3 years) - water.
After a good feast however, they sometimes enjoy a liquor called "Chuke", but
the recipe for this drink seems to be a secret and it is generally considered
venomous for non-Orcish beings.
Now, without any further ado, here is a typical three course Orcish dinner for
your cooking pleasure. The following recipes are all taken from Gkratulaks
famous book. As most of them are usually quite simple, we decided to make
adjusted versions for each dish. You will find the adjusted version for refined
palates below the original recipe.
Starter: Long-eared fast-thing
Original: Kill long-eared fast-thing and cook it.
Adjusted:
* 1 rabbit, cut into pieces
* 1 onion
* 2 1/4 cup flour
* salt
* pepper
* cooking oil
Brown onions in cooking oil. Dredge rabbit pieces in flour, salt and pepper.
Put oil, onions and rabbit pieces into a frying pan and cook until the rabbit
pieces are browned on all sides. Take out the meat and make a sauce from the
oil and onions by sprinkling in flour. When the gravy is brown, add some water
and return the rabbit meat into the mixture. Cook until sauce thickens.
Main course: Bristly Grunting Thing
Original: Kill bristly grunting thing. Remove teeth. Cook it.
Adjusted:
* 1 wild boar
* 50 onion
* 10 garlic
* 20 liters of beer
Remove the boar hide and let the boar bleed dry. Open it and remove all guts
and organs. Fill with onions and garlic. Place on a spit and over a fire. Spin
around for 9-10 hours. Baste with beer frequently during the roasting process.
The wild boar is ready when the eyeballs begin to drop out.
Dessert: Cackling Thing
Original: Kill cackling thing. Remove beak and feet. Cook it.
Adjusted:
* 1 chicken
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup honey
* 1/2 cup mace
* 1/2 teaspoon cloves
* 1/2 ginger
* 1/4 cup almonds
Pluck the chicken and remove all guts, head, feet and organs. Put honey, mace
and sugar into a bowl and stir well. Apply the mixture to the chicken. Put the
chicken into the oven and leave to roast until the skin is gold/brown.

Dryad Cooking
Of all living beings. the Dryads have the closest bond with nature. Their
connection with the trees is of such closeness that they refuse to eat anything
that does not live or grow in the woods. Although the range of food supply
seems rather limited. Dryad cuisine is far from boring or repetitive. Over the
centuries, the Dryads have developed their culinary art to perfection. Dryad
cuisine is one of the most interesting cuisines of Ancaria with many nuances,
different flavors and exotic recipes.
For Dryads, cooking is a collective and social activity. Since they are living
in wooden tree houses. they usually do not have fireplaces inside the house.
Instead, there are usually several safe fireplaces in the central areas of the
villages, where all the cooking takes place. The Dryads prefer to cook in
larger amounts and they arc used to preparing their food in big cauldrons and
huge pans. There are no exact recipes in Dryad cooking. It consists of the
combination of certain basic ingredients and spices.
Meat plays an important role in the Dryad cuisine. There are many different
kinds of animals living in the forests and most of them are edible. Amongst the
variety of venison, there are deer, boars, small bears, but also fish, such as
wild salmon and pike. The Dryads are hunters and they exclusively hunt and eat
wild animals. You will never find domesticated animals in a Dryad dish.
Dryads traditionally do not grow plants. Instead, they reap what the forests
have to offer and that is quite a lot. There are all kinds of fruit and berries
available. In addition, there are many forms of wild vegetables, such as
potatoes, rice and wheat.
The most unique element of Dryad cooking is the variety of spices and herbs.
Dryads are using an amazing amount of different herbs and spices for their
dishes. Some of them only grow in their homeland regions, some are not even
recognized as useful in other parts of the world. The herb lore of the Dryads
is unmatched in Ancaria and a skilled Dryad cook is able to create something
unique even out of a simple rabbit.
Pike in Wine-vinegar Sauce
* 1 large pike
* 1 1/4 cup wine
* 2 tbl. vinegar
* 3 slices of bread
* 1/4 spoon wild cinnamon
* 1/8 spoon ground white pepper
* 2 onions
* fat
* wild parsley
* salt
Place the pike in a pan, pour in wine and vinegar and add parsley. Add enough
salted water to cover the fish and poach it until the flesh is white. Lift the
fish from the pan, then put the bread into a bowl. Add some of the wine-vinegar
liquid until the bread is covered.
Skin the fish and take out the spine and other bones. Cut the fish into small
pieces to make a manageable disk.
Strain the cooking liquid into a clean pan. Pour 2 cups of it into the bowl
with the bread, add cinnamon and pepper and mix it together until smooth.
Return the mixture to the liquid in the pan. Fry the onions in a little oil
until soft, and add them to the liquid as well. Taste for seasoning, add the
pieces of fish and re-heat gently to serve.
Deer Roast
* 4-6 onions
* 4-6 wild chili
* 4-6 garlic cloves
* salt
* red pepper
* lemon juice
* water
* fat
Cut the onions, chili and garlic into small pieces. Cut small holes in the deer
meat and insert pieces of onion, garlic and chili into the holes. Mix salt and
pepper and insert the mixture into the same holes.
Mix lemon juice and water. Pour over the meat and marinate overnight. Cook the
meat in a large saucepan. Melt the fat in the saucepan and add some water.
Leave to cook for 4 to 6 hours on low heat. Remove the roast and thicken the
gravy with some flour.
Dryad Stew
* short ribs of wild boar separated by rib
* 1/4 cup flour
* 1/4 cup oil
* 5 cups beef stock
* 1/2 spoon cinnamon
* 1/2 spoon ground cloves
* 1/2 spoon ground mace
* 2 spoon cardamom
* 4 peppercorns
* 1 onion
* 6 sprg. parsley
* 1 spoon sage
* 1/4 cup vinegar
* 1/4 spoon saffron
* whole wheat bread
Chop the parsley and sage, cut the onion into small pieces and crush the
cardamom. Dust the ribs with the flour, fry it in the oil until it is brown.
Add the stock as well as the spices and herbs except for the saffron and leave
to simmer for two hours. Soak in the vinegar and saffron with the bread, puree
it and stir it into the stew. Check seasoning, then simmer for another half an
hour.

Drinking in Ancaria
Many different beverages can be found (and ordered) in the taverns of Ancaria.
Unlike food, the different cultures and races of the world seemed to have
influenced each other when it comes to drinks. Except for the Orcs, who have a
rather narrow range of drinks (actually it�s just beer or water), all races are
sharing and contributing to the variety of beverages. For example, tea was
originally invented and consumed by the Dryads, but quickly adopted by other
races and now, people all over the world are drinking tea in their homes.
Water is the most natural form of liquid and it is the basic ingredient for
most beverages. The only exceptions are fruit juices and wine.
Mead
Mead is a brew based on honey. Quite a number of different flavors of mead are
known throughout Ancaria, some of them are seasonal, others are just regional
variations. However, they all have one thing in common: the combination of
honey and alcohol can have devastating effects on the incautious consumer.
Dryad Lemon Mead
This Mead variation originated from the southern parts of the world. The Dryads
are said to have invented this special form of mead. The fresh taste is a nice
contrast to the rather heavy aroma of the honey.
* 6 wine quarts water
* � ounce whole nutmegs
* 1 lemon peel
* 1 quart honey
* Pulp of 2 or 3 lemons
* Lemon juice
Time to completion: 1 month
To every quart of honey, add six wine quarts of water, half an ounce of
nutmegs, the peel of a lemon and the meat of two of the three. Boil these
together. When the scum does not rise anymore, remove from the fire and leave
it to cool down. Squeeze the lemon juice into the brew. The lemon mead will be
ready in less than a month.
Cloven Mead
A quit simple but tasty mead. The strong aroma of the cloves and the ginger
grant this mead a sweet accentuation. Cloven mead is especially popular during
the winter season when it is usually served hot.
* 3 lbs. honey
* 1 gallon water
* � ounce ginger root
* Cloves
* Mace blades
* Agrimony
Time to completion: 2 to 3 months.
Dissolve three pounds of honey in a gallon of water and boil it. As soon as it
starts to boil, add half an ounce of ginger, some cloves, mace and a small
quantity of agrimony. Leave to boil for an hour and keep it constantly skimmed,
as there will be plenty of scum rising from the pot. Strain into another vessel
and leave to cool down. Wait until it is creamed over with a black cream and
leave it to ripen for two or three months.
Ale
By far the most popular alcoholic beverage in Ancaria is ale. From the noble
taverns of Thylysium to the quayside bars of the shanty towns, large quantities
of ale are being sold everywhere. Ale is relatively easy to brew and thus can
be sold at a reasonable price. Of course, similar to mead, there are dozens of
flavor variations available and they also vary in strength.
Weak Ale
For 2 � gallons of ale:
* 4 2/3 lbs. malt
* 1 � lbs. oats
* 13 qts. Water
* 1 cup yeast
* � ounces light oak chips
Boil the water, then crush the malt and mix it with the oats while they are
still dry. Place the tun near the stove. Pour two quarts of water into the tun,
then pour all the dry grain into the lauter tun. Slowly pour three more quarts
of boiling water over the grain, then put a cover on the tun and leave it for
several minutes. Add one more quart of boiling water, then put the lid back on
and leave it for another 20 minutes.
Take off the lid and stir it all up. The consistency should be fairly thick.
Put the lid back on and leave to cool down for two hours. Open up the tun and
stir in three more quarts of boiling water. Stir it, then close up again and
wait for half an hour. Finally, add the remaining boiling water. Stir it, then
close up again and wait for half an hour. Finally, add the remaining boiling
water and stir well.
Strain out the wort, be very meticulous and make sure that most of the liquid
goes out. Close the fermenter and leave the wort to cool over night.
Add the yeast to the wort. Shake and stir it. Allow the ale to ferment for a
day. The yeast should have become active and the process should be well under
way. Boil the oak chips in a cup of water. Remove from the fire as soon as the
water is brown and leave it to cool. Pour out some of the water, then boil it
again. Add the oak water to the wort and allow the ale to ferment for several
days.

Table Manners and Etiquette
Much has been said and written about manners and etiquette already. And even
more blunders and errors have been made. There simply is no other occasion
where a lack of decent education will reveal itself more clearly than at the
table. Not knowing the basic rules of etiquette is - at the least -
embarrassing. Occasionally, however, it can be fatal. The infamous "Banquet of
Doom", which caused the "War of the Corned Beef", is the most infamous one.
Good table manners are no T-Energy science. Everybody should know how to behave
at the table and everybody should be aware of the cultural differences to avoid
unpleasant situations.
The first and most obvious rule when eating together with other people is: know
what cutlery to use for which kind of food.
Meat does not require a fork, just cut it with your knife and eat it with your
hand. Forks are there to pick up small pieces of food which are too hot to
touch.
If you really must use your fork and want to scratch your back, do not use the
fork you are eating with. Instead, politely ask your left or right hand
neighbor if he needs his fork. Only if does indeed need it for himself are you
allowed to scratch your back with your own fork.
Never clean your hands with the table cloth. There are usually cats or dogs
under the tables, waiting for leftovers, Use their fur to clean your hands. If
there is no animal available, you may use your clothes, hair or beard to get
rid of the grease.
If you need to burp, do not burp into your food. That is considered very bad
manners. Turn your head to the left or right and burp into the direction of
your neighbor. If your neighbor happens to be female, excuse yourself. If he is
male, lift your glass and raise a private toast to him. If it's an Orc, either
beat him up, or run.
Picking your teeth with the knife is forbidden. Using the fork is not.
Giving an official toast is a delicate and complex matter. There is a
predetermined order of precedence for the toasts, and even the most erudite
people sometimes commit a blunder. Describing the entire process would take way
too long. As a rule of thumb, the first toast always goes to the sovereign. If
there is no sovereign, or if there is uncertainty about the current sovereign,
the first toast goes to the noble with the highest rank. The consequent toasts
should go to the host of the evening, the oldest person at the table and the
one with the longest and most impressive last name.
If you are guest at an Orcish dinner, it is considered impolite to not
participate in the after dinner brawl. Beating each other up is considered good
for the digestion. If you refuse to take part, they assume that you did not
like the food. This is an insult.
Orcs never eat vegetables or plants in general. If you see something green in
an Orcish meal, it is NOT salad, it is decoration. Do not eat it if you want to
avoid embarrassing moments.
If you do not like your food, quietly drop it to the floor below the table. Do
not put it on your neighbor's plate when he is not watching.
Minstrels singing their silly songs during a meal can be annoying. Still, it is
not appropriate to attack them. Only the weak are resorting to violence! The
polite person just throws some leftover food at them.
Throwing pieces of bread, grapes or other kinds of food at the people on the
other side of the table is a well known and entertaining game. But don't be
excessive! Always make sure that the pieces of food are no larger than a
chicken or a small duck, and that the consistency is not too soft or too hard.
Also, bringing small catapults for this purpose requires a prior agreement.

Guide for a Successful Feast, or "How to not poison your guests"
Preparing a banquet can be complex Nothing can spoil a celebration more than a
failed banquet and unsatisfied guests. Hosting a banquet is quite a
responsibility and should not be taken lightly. But fret not! In this book, we
will guide you through the process and make sure you will be able to avoid any
obstacles and possible threats.
Preparation
This is where it all starts. In the first steps of planning, you need to answer
a number of questions. How many people do you intend to serve at the feast?
Will the kitchen hall and tables accommodate that number? Can you pie-cook
anything? Can you prepare everything that day! Who is going to attend your
meal? Are there any cultural or racial limitations for the food? Planning is
the key to everything here. Only if you have sufficient answers to all those
questions, you can safely continue with your next step. Numerous banquets have
been spoiled due to lack of preparation:
"But the page said there is enough wood in the kitchen. Whatever made him say
that!"
"What do you mean by, The meat looks a bit strange!"
"Did we really invite those Ore scu... those people of Orcish origin!"
"Where is my recipe book again!"
All those questions are a sure indication of bad preparation. Avoid that at any
cost! Eliminate all those possible threats right from the start. Trust nobody
but yourself. If you have a question, find out the answer for yourself. Don't
ask anyone. And if you have found out the answers, write them down. Papyrus
can't forget.
Make sure there are enough tables, benches and chairs available, as well as
enough table cloths to cover the tables. Candles and proper lighting are
essential as well ("I can't see the meat!").
Planning the Menu
Probably the most important step is deciding which dishes you want to serve.
For a large banquet, we recommend no more than four courses. It goes without
saying, that you should not try to serve dishes you have never done before.
Also, keep in mind, that some ingredients might be seasonal and may not always
be available.
For the courses, we recommend:
* Bread, Butter, Fruits
* Soup or Stew
* Meat course
* Dessert
For the stew, we recommend:
A chicken thyme stew with cream. This nice little recipe is highly popular in
all cultured parts of Ancaria and does not require too much preparation. Yet,
due to the rich flavor it is very suitable as a starter.
Chicken Thyme Stew with Cream
* 15 pieces chicken meat
* 2 tbl. olive oil
* 1/2 onion
* 2 garlic cloves
* 2 tbl. flour
* 1 1/2 mug mushrooms
* 1 mug chicken broth
* 4 tsp. parsley
* 1 1/2 tsp. thyme
* 1/4 mug sherry
* 1/4 tsp. pepper
* 1/4 mug sour cream
Cut the chicken into small pieces. Warm one spoon of olive oil in a pot until
it's hot, but not smoking. Add the chicken and fry until it is brown. Remove
the chicken and pour all the remaining oil into the pot. Add the onion and game
and cook them, stirring until the onion begins to brown. Stir in the flour and
cook until the flour dissolves in the melange. Add the mushrooms, chicken
broth, paisley, sherry, thyme and pepper. Boil until the mixture has thickened.
Return the chicken meat to the pot and cook for a minute. Stir in the sour
cream and serve the stew while it is hot.
For the meat course, we recommend
Wild Boar in Peanut Oil
* 3 tbl. peanut oil
* 1 wild boar
* 2 garlic cloves
* 1 spoon ginger root
* 1/2 bunch radish
* 2 onions
Sauce:
* 2 spoons crunchy peanut butter
* 1 spoons soy oil
* 1 spoons vinegar
* 2 spoons sesame oil
* 2 chili
* 2 spoon sugar
* 1/5 mug stock
Cut the wild boar into small pieces. Soak the radishes in warm water for
several minutes, then drain them and cut them into quarters. Cut the onions
into pieces.
For the sauce, cream together peanut butter and soy oil, then add the remaining
ingredients. Set the sauce aside.
Add oil to a frying pan. When it starts to smoke, add the boar meat and fry for
a minute. Add garlic and ginger and fry for another minute. Put the boar meat
into the saucepan and add the peanut sauce. Heat and leave to simmer for 15
minutes. Add the onions after approx half the time. If the sauce thickens, add
more stock.
Add the radish and simmer for another 5 minutes, then take it off the fire to
serve it.

Ancient and Foreign Recipes
Countless ancient books and fragments of scrolls are stored in the libraries of
the realm, yet only a handful of those books deal with the art of cooking. The
only surviving copies are the "Ye Great Booke of Foode" by the Elven Highlord
Taurith of Graat - written 829 Old Time - and "What Thou See is What Thou Eat"
by an unknown Human Nobleman, written probably before 600 old time. Both books
contain a number of rather odd suggestions for food. Many of the ingredients
are hard to come by these days, other recipes are particularly strange and
nobody would even consider eating their results anymore. Since both books are
written in a fairly arcane language, it is sometimes hard or even impossible
to to translate the passages into the modern languages of Ancaria. Some parts
of the content appear to be completely lost in translation. Still, those books
are highly interesting, not only for those who are interested in cooking. They
are contemporary documents and give us insight into the history of our world.
Excerpts from "Ye Great Book of Foode"
by Taurith of Graat, approx. 830 Old Time:
Goblin in Mustard Sauce
Kill some Goblins. Remove their heads, hands and feet. Fry them in a big pan,
with salt, pepper, garlic and some ham. When the skin turns brown, remove them
from the heat. Add onion rings to some water, boil for several minutes. When
the onion rings are soft, take the pot off the fire. Take a brush and mustard.
Apply the mustard to the goblins, make sure the entire surface is covered with
mustard. Take the onion sauce, pour it over the Goblins and serve them. If you
like your goblin an little more spicy, take some pepperoni, chop it into very
small pieces and season the Goblin with it.
Scrambled Harpy Eggs
Steal 2-5 Harpy Eggs, beat them lightly, add seasoning. Melt some fat in a
saucepan and pour the eggs in. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the
egg begins to thicken, then remove it from the heat and let it cool down. Serve
the Scrambled Harpy Eggs warm with some bread.
Giant Ravenous Llama Goulash
Gather a few friends and take down a Giant Ravenous Llama. (As a rule of thumb:
one Giant Ravenous Llama serves approximately 8 people.) Be careful, those
llamas are dangerous creatures. Avoid their toxic spittle under all
circumstances, always wear your safety goggles. As soon as the Giant Ravenous
Llama is dead, skin it and remove all organs. Place it into an oversized pot
with some water and cook for several hours. When the meat turns gray, remove it
from the head. Separate the meat from the rest of the bones and cut it into
small pieces. Put those pieces into a pot and set it aside. Put Onions, Ginger,
Pepper, Mace, Salt, Vinegar and some wine into the oversized pot. Add some
pints of water, throw in some dried squirrels and boils this mixture for half
an hour. Remove it from the fire, then take a huge frying pan and put all
pieces of Llama meat into it. Fry for several minutes, until the meat is dark
brown. Add it to the sauce. Stir well and serve it.
Basilisk in Bacon Wrap
Put a bag over a basilisks head and kill it. Skin it and remove all organs,
fill the chest with onions, apples, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Wrap slices of
bacon around the basilisk and fix them with thread. Put the basilisk on the
fire and roast it for 15 hours (basilisk meat is quite resistant to heat, so it
will take a while). Server it while it is still hot and remember to avoid eye
contact with your dish.
Evidently, all those recipes sound rather odd; in fact, some of the are quite
extraordinary. Therefore, this book is considered a hoax by some historians.
Others are suspecting sloppy translations of arcane language parts. However,
even the most renowned researchers choose their words carefully when they are
talking about he older book "what Thouse See Is What Thou Eat". The oldest
fragments of this book have been found during an excavation at an ancient High
Elven ruin site. The condition of the book is rather poor, many pages have been
completely destroyed and the reset was heavily damaged by water. In addition,
it is written in a very old Human dialect, which has been completely lost for
centuries. Still, some parts of the book have been deciphered and copied.
Excerpts from "What Thou See is What Thou Eat"
by unknown author, approx. 600 Old Time:
Vampire Tarte Flambee
* 1-2 vampires
* 1 wooden stake
* 55 garlic bulbs
* 3 onions
* parsley
* absinthe
Stake a Vampire. Leave the stake in his body to paralyze him. Place him in a
large pot along with garlic, onions, absinthe and (very little) parsley. Wait
until sunrise, then place him into the light for just under a minute (or half
a minute if you prefer your vampire medium).
Squirrel Stew
* 50-60 squirrels
* 10 gallons of water
* 3 tomatoes
* salt
* pepper
* mace
* thyme
Throw the squirrels into a large pot. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces, add
them to the squirrels, then add the water and boil everything for an hour,
while constantly stirring it with a large edgar. (translator's note: edgar =
ancient term for a large cooking spoon) As soon as the consistency is getting
thicker, add the salt, pepper, mace and thyme. Stir it again with the edgar and
finish it with some more salt for seasoning. serve the squirrel stew with a bit
of cream on top and eat it while it's hot.
Magic Scarabaeus in a Dumpling
* 20 scarabaeus
* wheat
* eggs
* onions
* pepperoni
* sugar
* salt
Collect 20 magic scarabaeus, remove their wings and antennae. Place the eggs,
wheat and some water into a bowl, mix them together until you have a dough. Cut
the onions and pepperoni into small pieces, add them to the dough. Take the
beetles and wrap the dough around them, forming a dumpling for each scarabaeus.
Roast the dumplings on a fire until the surface is brown, then remove them from
the fire and add some sugar and salt for seasoning. To soften the rather strong
beetle flavor, serve them with sour cream and vinegar.
Disclaimer:
I think even the most adventurous reader will agree, that those recipes are
very strange. We do not recommend trying them without proper research. The
editor does not take responsibility for any mental or health damage, caused by
those recipes. Nevertheless, if you are "brave" enough to try one of the above
recipes, feel free to send us your feedback.

Purchased an ancient book from an adventurer at the market this morning. He
claims to have found the volume buried under a mound of rubble in a remote cave
and demanded 20 gold coins for his prize. We bargained and I forced him down to
18. This seemed a fair price to me.
The book- an old manuscript with lots of text and some magical symbols - seems
most interesting. At first glance, I believe it to be of Ethurian origin, but I
am not quite certain. The bulk of the text seems to be written in some type of
code. I shall try to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.
Bad heartburn from the chicken in pineapple sauce that Cookie served at midday.
Note: Tell Cookie no more pineapple sauce!

A bad day. Cookie is ill. I have to run out of clean goblets - and plates, for
that matter! It looks as though I shall have to wash the dishes myself! How I
disdain such profane drudgery! The book is very promising. I had to remove
several security runes in order to see the entire text. Unfortunately, it
remains encrypted - I had hoped that removing the runes would reveal the clear
text. I have received a letter from the academy in Thylysium requesting payment
of my annual membership fees. Those decrepit leeches!
Note: Have opened last bottle of Elven red wine!

Cookie is still bedridden. I have washed the dishes. Have not had time to work
on book.
Note: When washing dishes - do not use spells, wands or other magical means to
heat water! Note: Need new burn cream!

I have yet to make any progress with the book. The code is proving particularly
obstinate - moreover, the text is presumably written in some ancient dialect.
This does not make my task any easier. My Lingua Arcana is quite rusty. Perhaps
I should attempt the Galharis decryption method-alas I cannot recall the
opening sequence. If only I could find his book in the library! The "Summer 129
Mage & Druid Catalogue" has arrived! Fantastic!
Note: Ask Cookie to organize the books in the library in alphabetical order. I
cannot work in this chaos!

Cookie found Galhari�s book jammed under the cellar door. Have now jammed a
dissertation on "Alternative Approaches to Animal Metamorphosis" by my former
pupil Walter under the door. I hope he can find it in his heart to forgive me.
I can now finally begin decrypting the book. Still plenty of work to do. I had
almost forgotten how complex the Galharis method is. Have ordered new stuffed
ravens from the Mage and Druid catalogue. They are a real bargain and the
delivery is free of charge! Cookie can dispose of the old raven.
Note: Tell cookie to order the new Elven red wine (the cheap label for 2,95,
not that expensive stuff from last time. After all, gold is the one thing I
can�t make!)

Mother is visiting. Cookie forgot to remind me of her birthday. Good servants
are so hard to find these days! I gave Cookie a good scolding while Mother
looked on. Despite (or because of?) this, Mother is still sulking. Cookie is
also in a foul temper. Not a good day. Just try making sense of women!!!
Note: Buy flowers for Mother and Cookie!

New raven has arrived - I immediately threw the old one on the compost. New

Brought Mother her new flowers - she nattered on about her various ailments.
Everything is back to normal then!
Received a letter from the academy- I am to be assigned a new apprentice this
year : hopefully not another work-shy dunce!
Note: Tell Cookie to bring the textbooks up from the cellar.

Hey presto! After 36 hours I finally decoded the entire text. It was indeed
written in a very ancient from of Ethurian Lingua Arcana. But what a
disappointment! The manuscript is simply a guide to decoding magically
encrypted texts! Eighteen gold coins and all that work just to find out that
someone discovered the Galharis Method before Galharis! Perhaps I can sell the
manuscript to the academy, or to Galharis - if he is still alive. I have not
heard from him for a long time now.
New apprentice arrives next week.
Note: Ask Cookie to clear out the attic!
Note: Ask Cookie to return "Alternative Approaches to Animal Metamorphosis" to
the library and jam Galhari�s book under the cellar door!

New apprentice has arrived. He is a small, rather stupid runt called Naithyl.
He is typical for the type of youth one sees in the cities these days - he
wears his hat back-to-front and dresses in over-sized leggings. I think I shall
have a lot of work with this one!
Word has come that I should expect important visitors from Thylysium. Erzmagus
Fionor arrives tomorrow to inspect Naythil�s lodgings. What he truly hopes to
inspect is my wine cellar!
Note: Naithyl! The apprentice is called NAITHYL!
Note: Tell Cookie to hide the wines in one of the outhouses!

Fionor has departed. A short visit - moving the wines was just the trick!
Have begun instructing the new apprentice - he is as gormless as he is
recalcitrant. He knows everything better - of course! - but cannot master even
the simplest of runes. I will give him three more days, before sending him back
to Thylysium. I have no intention of wasting my time on such a detestable
little toad!
The kitchen window is broken. Sat in a draft all day. Not good!

I have caught a cold! Woke up with a fever, a sore throat and an aching head!
Can barely get out of bed, slept most of the day! Cookie wanted to rub some
kind of "old remedy" on my back! I have no idea what it was, but it smelt like
rotten goat�s cheese. I would rather die than have something so foul smeared
upon my naked body! Cookie was in a sulk.
16. Tyrbor 129

Still in bed. Fever is worsening. I cannot think straight. Thirsty. I am
ravaged by thirst. I must be dying!!!! Have instructed Cookie on what is to be
done should I pass away. She laughed and mumbled something about menfolk. Well,
she will soon see what she gets for that!

Fever has subsided. I feel refreshed and healthy again. Cookie refuses to
believe that my talk of death was nothing but a harmless joke. How simple-
minded women are! They truly believe whatever we menfolk say!
Spent the whole day instructing the apprentice. Oh, how tiresome! Why does the
academy insist on sending me such useless wretches?
Note: Tell Cookie to repair the kitchen window!

Caught the apprentice playing magic cards again! These killer games are a
plague! No wonder so many students at the academy run riot!
Need a new homunculus - the old one has dissolved into dust. 3 years- a ripe
old age for a muncle. Must find my book of incantations. I cannot quite
remember the chant. Must be getting old!
Read a most interesting article in Magic User Magazine on the practice of
altering the dimensions of lodgings and study halls! Not the easiest of spells,
but were it to work, well!

My visit to Cookie was fruitless. She took the chocolates and threw me out. She
will not return as long as the apprentice is still in the house. I will wait a
week longer - sometimes women calm down after a while. So they say.
The apprentice is now meek and anxious to please.
Found my book of homunculi incantations! I really must clean up the library.
Have begun the summoning - will be finished three days from now.

Day 6 post-Cookie. Ordered apprentice to wash the dishes and clean the house.
We have had nothing to eat but dried meat for days now! This cannot go on much
longer!
Finished summoning new homunculus. Albino! (Add more color next time?)
Have begun to alter the dimensions of the house. The west wing of the library
is now five times as big as before! I got lost the first time I went in! Once
one has altered the dimensions of a room in this manner the exits become quite
difficult to find.

Altering dimensions with magic is a highly interesting pastime! I spent all day

install more shelving to use the new space. A very interesting side effect:
spontaneous occurrences of T-Energy. Must urgently check the hazard level!
Cookie has returned! Thank the Gods! It certainly took a lot of chocolates this

reverse the spell without risking a multidimensional convolution! The situation
is grave! Have sent the apprentice to the academy with a message. Perhaps
someone from the Inner Circle knows a solution to this quandary.

splattered across the entire Encyclopaedia Arcana Magica! If I could only
locate the dimensional tear in space, I could close it with a few simple

before, and can now lift heavy items. She also seems to speak less - a most
agreeable development! However. I am not entirely sure what to make of these
events.
I shall have to enter the library again some time in the next few days.

General Conspectus of Magic
For more than five hundred years I have been studying the secrets of magic and
I am walking the thin line between the thirst for knowledge and the realization
that even an immortal existence would not be sufficient to unveil every last
secret concealed by this arcane power.
1. Essence
All magic within this world derives from magical Essence. This mysterious power
saturates everything, it never stagnates and it cannot be caught nor explained.
Every race and each person in this world uses the Essence one way or another.
From the more primitive shaman spells of the Kobolds, to the complex
conjuration rituals of High Elven magic lore - everyone everywhere on this
world utilizes the Essence... some knowingly, some blissfully unaware.
Many cultures have begun to divide magic into fields and disciplines. Even the
most extensive research did not spare us from having to use this kind of aid
Therefore, we are using terms such as Fire Magic, Ice Magic, Conjuration
Magic... even Poison Magic is being regarded as an independent discipline these
days. Still, by now we know full well that all these divisions are nothing but
feeble attempts to categorize something that is simply beyond categorization.
In fact, these categories even prove to be impediments when it comes to
transforming Essence into new spells.
The Essence is ubiquitous in Ancaria, albeit its presence appears to be
stronger in some areas than others. Nobody has been able to explain this
phenomenon though. The terms Essence accumulation' and Essence dispersion' are
widely used for these occurrences. If a magician is in an area with high
Essence accumulation, the desired effects will require considerably less
transformation energy than in area with Essence dispersion. As yet a location
with a complete absence of Essence is unknown,- however, persistent rumors
exist that the Dragons are aware of such locations (which allegedly is the
reason for their move to Ancaria). In all my years of research I have been
unable to confirm these theories.
2. Transformation
Discovering and researching magic spells is not the true art of magic. The art
is using Essence according to your own will and transforming it. That, of
course, is far from being easy. Only very few people have been blessed with
this talent; most people do not have the ability to influence Essence. Surveys
have revealed that only one in three thousand High Elves is capable of it.
Those who do have this ability face a long and arduous path before they are
able to use their magical powers purposefully and efficiently. Magic results
from the perfect combination of two powers: Essence and the individual power
of the spell caster. That is the only way to invoke magic!
Having said that, even this profane approach does have its limits. There will
always be fields that cannot be accessed successfully by merely combining
Essence and the talent of transformation. The most distinctive example would be
necromancy. Although it is possible to reanimate dead beings with relatively
little effort, it is impossible to create new life by magic means. Essence
always implies the change of a status quo. Delaeniel described this factor in
his standard work "Lex Magica" in the year 974 (Old Time) as re-creational
principle'.
3. Lex Magica
"How inadequate the thought that magic should be divided into categories. How
pathetic to hide behind such a construct. How deplorable this naivety that will
inevitably lead to failure!"
- Delaeniel The Elder
The Lex Magica is arguably the most extensive work about magic. Its author,
Delaeniel the Elder, created a systematic list of all known magical aspects.
The central part of his work is the transcription of all the laws of magic.
Although the Lex Magica is now more than 1,200 years old its contents are still
as valid as ever. Delaeniel was the first to recognize that magic is not a
priori divided into aspects, and that the categorization is merely a figment
created [artificially]. This was a revolutionary thought at the time.
---------------------------------
[MG2]
Fire Magic
"Fiery balls sped like comets across the battlefield and destroyed everything
in their wake. Spirals of flames and the bright lights of explosions blinded
friend and foe alike as they lit the night sky. I wielded my sword relentlessly
but wherever my blade struck, it only cut deep into the charred flesh."
--- Description of the battle of An-Athail
The destructive powers of fire have been known since the beginning of time.
Fire kills effectively and fast. Thus, it is not surprising that the school of
Fire Magic focuses on destructive fire spells.
The most basic form of fire magic simply heats an item. The ethereal essence of
the target object is transformed into energy. As this process is straight
forward it is possible to reach extremely high temperatures. Although this form
of Fire Magic can only be applied to inanimate matter it has a variety of uses.
Some suspect that the famous alloys, which the Dwarves manufactured in their
forges, were the result of strong fire magic as the temperatures for these
alloys were impossible to create by natural means.
Evoking and focusing fire in an open space is much more difficult and requires
considerable experience. Once this step has been mastered, the evoker is able
to stabilize and maintain fire energy, confining it to a small space until it
hits its designated target discharging its full potential upon impact. These
fire globes are magically accelerated, which renders them deadly projectiles
typically referred to as "Fire Balls".
"My first successful fireball required half an hour of preparation. When I
finally bundled enough energy and attempted to hurl it towards the stone target
in front of me, my strength faltered and my fireball sped off in the opposite
direction towards the window. There, it struck my mentor's chest - may the Gods
be merciful - and singed off his beard. I think he never forgave me for that."
--- From the memoirs of Arch Mage Jaquemart
The most complex part of Fire Magic has to be the combination of all known
aspects in order to create or conquer flame beings that are able to act
independently or follow their conjurer's orders. This aspect of Fire Magic can
create fire elementals or conjure existing beings such as fire demons. Only the
most powerful and experienced magicians are able to deal with this aspect and
control these beings. However, many have succumbed to the temptations of these
powers and have lost their lives during their feeble attempts. Despite
centuries of research, fire magic has not been conclusively explored yet. New
possibilities to make fire effects even more deadly are constantly being
discovered. Fire Magic is already consistently being used by all civilized
armies and has become a tactical element during battles and sieges.
However, no mortal being has been able to compete with the annihilating powers
of Dragon fire. The fire breath of these creatures is the most devastating form
of fire magic. Many magicians have attempted to research the nature of the
Dragons in order to reveal the secret behind their fire breath. So far, all
their efforts have been in vain.
"The old dragon regarded me with an expression resembling both boredom and
concealed curiosity while I concentrated. I hurled the fire beam towards the
rock and barely held onto my footing during the recoil. The impact of the beam
split the rock in two. 'Well, what do you think?' I inquired.
The Dragon stared at the split rock for a while, then his eyes turned towards
me and finally wandered back to the rock. He made a vague movement with his
head and a thin, bright beam shot towards the rock, melting it down to a small
puddle of lava. 'It does make things easier, when you use fire,' he retorted
before he rose and flew away."

Ice Magic
"But master, why should I put this much effort into learning all these ice
spells, when you can kill enemies with fire?"
"Fire resistant armor, efficient use of essences, special effectiveness against
certain magical beings...I could lecture you indefinitely on the countless
reasons. However, just to keep it simple... Have you ever smelled a charred
Orc?"
---Dialogue between Ragnoir and his disciple
The destructive powers of Ice Magic are similar to those of Fire Magic, albeit
many believe that Ice Magic is inferior to Fire Magic. The reason for this
misconception is probably that most beings harbor a natural fear of fire while
ice - although causing discomfort - is not being regarded as ultimately
dangerous. This may hold true in nature, but if you ever witness an experienced
ice magician in battle, you will most likely have a change of heart. Should you
ever have the misfortune to be at the receiving end of an ice magician's wrath,
you will unfortunately not have the opportunity to change your mind, though.
Ice Magic owes its destructive powers to the manifold of shapes that it may
adopt, thus enabling it to penetrate even the smallest of gaps, cracks or seams
of any type of armor. The magic iciness then has a paralytic or even lethal
effect on almost all creatures.
On battle fields, the effects of ice spells that affect whole areas are most
devastating. Ice shards are the perfect weapon to keep attackers at bay - they
inflict injuries and the magic ice has extremely adverse effects on metal.
"The early morning fog was still lingering while the first faint sunbeams cast
an almost surreal light on the field. The Orcs were closing ranks and stood
there shield next to shield - an unusual display of discipline on their part.
Rain clouds had approached from the east and when the Orc troops started to
move, the first drops of rain fell, splashing onto the spiky armor of the
green-skins.
Our army was by far outnumbered but we had taken up formation on top of a
mound, ready to take advantage of our elevated position. When I noticed the
raindrops I called for our battle mages, ordering them to spread out. Finally,
the horn sounded and the Orcs began to charge. All battle mages cast their
spells simultaneously. A fierce blizzard erupted and swept towards the Ores,
transforming the raindrops into icy spikes. The fight was over before it had
even begun. The Ores fell like grain during a storm. We did not lose a single
warrior in this battle, but the Orcs' casualties were devastating. Those who
survived the initial wave suffered frostbites all over their bodies and many
lost their eyesight due to the icy spikes. Never again did I win a battle with
such ease, never again did I have to witness such devastating injuries among my
enemies. Our empire owes this victory solely to Ice Magic. No legion of fire
mages would have been able to succeed in this fashion."
---From the memoirs of Celirathian, General of the High Elves
Ice Magic is the best choice against creatures resistant or even immune to fire
such as Dragons, Fire Demons or Lava Golems. Fire can not harm these beings,
but they will suffer consider damage from cold.

Poison Magic
"How are you feeling?"
"Good, very good! My tongue is tingling a little, but otherw..."
"Very well, dispose of him and bring the next one."
--- From Varmac's research protocols while testing a new substance on a
delinquent.
The lore of creating poisons and researching their effectiveness is one of the
oldest aspects of magic. These disciplines comprise more than merely mixing
substances. Each traveling charlatan is able to concoct some type of poison
from plants, crystals or other ingredients. The true art of Poison Magic lies
within refining the effectiveness of poisons, transforming them into different
shapes and finding alternative methods to apply them by means of magic. The
study of antidotes is also part of this branch of magic as almost every
existing poison is curable by an antidote.
The roots of Poison Magic are lost in history. Fragments of old scrolls from
the era of the Dragon Wars prove, that magicians were already getting involved
with this discipline. One of the fundamental and classic works of poison magic
is the "Arcana Alchemica" written by Archmage Trinysil in 78. In this
compendium, all known poisons were sorted into groups for the very first time
and all effects of magic in connection with poisons were described. All these
classifications are valid to the present day. Of course, Poison Magic has
evolved since then. Still, "The Trinysil" - as it is lovingly called by all
students - is the standard treatise for Poison Magic at all academies of the
empire.
The list of possibilities involving Poison Magic is endless. It ranges from
creating simple poisons to constructing complex traps that could emit a deadly,
poisonous cloud when they are being touched or otherwise triggered.
Despite being taught at all official academies of the empire, Poison Magic
still maintains a sinister reputations; something does not taste right about
it... pun intended. Far too often, Poison Magic is connected with
assassinations, political intrigues leading to attempts on the regents' lives,
or perfidious murders of competitors and rivals. Poisons are the first choice
when you want to dispose of someone inconspicuously; this fact does nothing to
improve the reputation of Poison Magic. Of course, this is all merely a figment
of our imagination. Poison Magic - so far as it is taught at our academies - is
a respectable science, albeit one that took a long time to be officially
recognized as a branch of magic. Long and heated debates and negotiations were
required before it was finally accepted. One of its most ferocious opponents
was the eccentric Archmage Gotan who was so adamant in his rejection of Poison
Magic that it was almost obsessive.
"Here they are at their desks, mixing powders, grinding herbs, murmuring their
ridiculous formulas and then they call it magic! MAGIC, I say! The entire
quarter is contaminated by the stench of their creations. Birds are falling
from the sky when they are unfortunate enough to fly over our roofs! There are
not enough criminals in the empire to serve in their test series! And now these
dabblers have the nerve to demand that their quackery should be called sublime
magic? These fairground magicians, unable to weave a single, decent spell? If
these wannabe-magicians are going to be admitted to the academy, I will resign
this instant."
--- Gotan about poison magic
"May this hedonist babble as much as he pleases. His opinions are weighed down
by the dust and cobwebs of centuries gone past and his outlook on the world is
as boring and naive as Fire Magic. Still, I must admit that I am profoundly
impressed! Gotan is able to spread more venom in one speech than I am able to
produce in one week. I recommend parsley as an antidote. Just stick it in your
ears."
--- Varmac's reply to Gotan

[MG5]
T-Energy
"What is it?"
"T-Energy."
"What does it do?"
"It glows blue."
Two constant streams of energy flow through Ancaria. They may seem similar, but
they actually could not be more different: these two forms of energy -
T-Energy and the Essence, are like fire and water. T-Energy is an inherently
destructive power. Like a wildfire, once it is out of control it devastates
anything in its path. The Essence, on the other hand, is a silent, surging
force that requires a catalyst to unleash its full potential.
T-Energy is much more difficult to control than the Essence. Whereas masters of
the magical arts need only to concentrate on channeling the Essence, T-Energy
must be subdued before it can be used. For a long time it was believed that it
was impossible to combine T-Energy and the Essence in a single spell. Various
theories were put forward to explain what might occur if T-Energy and active
Essence met. The theories ranged from apocalyptic visions of exploding
continents to shifts in the fabric of reality and holes in time - the scholar's
imagination knows no bounds, or so it would seem... What everyone agreed on was
that combining T-Energy with Essence was a fatal undertaking! It was only after
the emergence of the first spells, which successfully synthesized T-Energy and
Essence, that such absurd theories lost ground. And thus began an era of
intensive research into the potential benefits of combining these two energy
streams.
In the years that followed, however, it became evident that as pessimistic as
these theories may have been, they did possess a modicum of truth. At the
Imperial academies T-Energy research resulted in a wave of fatalities, the
likes of which Ancaria had never seen before. Unforeseeable accidents rocked
the academies as experiments got out of control. Unexpected results wreaked
chaos and devastation. The Academy in Lanithiain had to be reconstructed four
times. No fewer than eight esteemed seers of the magical arts were either
killed on the spot or transformed into hideous creatures with the intelligence
of steamed broccoli following their exposure to raw T-Energy. It was eventually
decided to restrict access to T-Energy research and continue it on a smaller
scale in more secure facilities.
Under Qrenuir IV, T-Energy research was banned from all of the major urban
academies and shifted to remote regions in order to minimize the dangers to
people and property. Research centers were set up throughout Ancaria, most of
them in largely unpopulated areas. This development led to a series of
spontaneous revolts among the rural population. Some peasants even went so far
as to chain themselves to the gates of the research centers in a desperate
attempt to hinder the transport of T-Energy materials. Such rebellions were
swiftly quelled. In the year 42 the now renowned researcher and mage Lanopyth
made a major breakthrough in tlx* study of T-Energy. He discovered a method of
transforming and safely channeling a small amount of T-Energy. The energy was
barely sufficient to reanimate a dead frog for even a short while, but his
discovery marked a major turning point. In the years that followed, Lanopyth
refined his technique and was eventually able to boost most magical rituals
with T-Energy. This was an epoch-making development! Prior to this, T-Energy
had been viewed with some suspicion, now its popularity surged to new heights
throughout the magic community. New research programs were launched in
academies across the Empire and new applications for T-Energy emerged by the
day. The scribes and copyists of the realm were buried under an avalanche of
manuscripts and bulletins.
After 200 years of scientific inquiry, T-Energy was well on its way to conquer
the magic world and emerged as a serious alternative to the powers of the
Essence.

Forbidden Magic
For more than forty years I have been devoting my studies to Forbidden Magic.
Of course, officially and by request of the academy and for investigation
purposes only. It is not easy to deal with the dark sides of magic day in and
day out - to study all these repulsive rituals and monstrosities and to concern
oneself with the scum within these dark circles.
Little is written about Forbidden Magic. The essays you may find in libraries
are few and far between, typically incomplete, or they are based on assumptions
and speculations. This is understandable since Forbidden Magic is... well,
forbidden. How does one report about something that is not meant to exist
officially? When I began my research for this book, I was facing this problem
myself; however, owing to my position I enjoy certain privileges and those
opened the doors to several secret documents. Otherwise, this book would have
been unthinkable. Now, however, I hope to present to my readers a reasonably
correct and comprehensive treatise about the subject, although this scroll is
not meant for everyone's reading pleasure. Let me begin without further delay
and let us delve into the realm of darkness.
The seemingly most harmless variation appears to be the Curse Magic. At first
glance, this branch of magic would not seem very dangerous. However,
appearances can be deceptive! Curses can be extremely dangerous and it is
almost impossible to lift them.
Then, of course, there are necromancers. They are abominable scum, obsessed
with everything connected to death and reviving the dead. These people will not
stop short of anything, they animate dead flesh and turn the mortal remains of
creatures into mindless puppets. Semi-decayed bodies aimlessly amble through
the night screaming for brains, despite the fact that their bodily functions
have ceased to exist. The more advanced the decay, the more repugnant these
monsters become. Even skeletons may be reanimated by Necromancy. They wander
about although they cannot see where they are going - obviously, as they lack
eyes - and they will lash out at anything that crosses their path. An
experienced necromancer is able to create entire armies like this. Hordes of
mindless warriors who do not know fear. This is repulsive and condemnable. And
unhygienic!
Alas, this does not satisfy every necromancer! In an extremely repulsive
incident, a necromancer attempted to create a body from many parts of corpses
by sewing them together. However, he had to break off his experiment without
being successful, sold his memoirs for an obscene amount of money and moved
abroad.
In comparison to Necromancy, Curse Magic is much more subtle. Curses are almost
impossible to lift once they have been activated. Unfortunately, there are no
limits to the minds of curse magicians. Curses can be hexed to individuals, to
groups of people, families of tribes. The probably best-known incident involves
sword master Crauthain, who apparently incurred the wrath of a dark magician
during a seemingly insignificant dispute. He spent the rest of his life with a
rain cloud over his head. Even inanimate items can be subject to curses, such
as corn fields, for example.
Another aspect of despicable Forbidden Magic is the Demonology, which deals
with the conjuration of creatures from hell and other frightful spheres. Once
brought into this world, these creatures of chaos can only be controlled by an
immense amount of magic. If this magic falters, they break free and then, they
are able to roam around the world freely, which is equivalent to a major
disaster. Something like that will happen eventually; maybe in a thousand
years, or even two thousand years, but it WILL happen.
Beware of Forbidden Magic, for all it breeds is disaster. Beware of cursed
hags, necromancers and demonologists and bring them to the attention of the
authorities. Baneful are their deeds and nefarious their desires.
You believe that to be strange? Well, such are the words written down in this
scroll...
-----------------------------Books of Religions
[RG1]
Kybele - Goddess of Nature
Kybele is the Goddess of nature, fertility and motherhood, flora and fauna. She
is worshiped by people of all races all over Ancaria, especially by farmers,
hunters and in small villages in the countryside.
Mythology
The mythology says that after the creation of the world, Kybele wandered
through the empty and sparse lands, looking for life and a worthwhile, friendly
place to be. Deeply saddened by the lack of life and the hostility of the
place, she rested below a dead tree and began to cry. The tear dripping from h
er eye fell down to the earth, trickling into the soil. When she continued her
journey, a bud grew from the dead tree. Before long, the desert turned into a
green meadow. Since then, every tear lost by Kybele created life or fertile
lands.
Therefore, she is also known as the "Crying Goddess" or the "Tear of Life" in
some languages and dialects.
Appearance
Although Kybele has many different shapes, she is most commonly displayed as a
feathered, snakelike being with a sad but friendly face. She can change the
color of her feathers at will, and often lets her feathers shine with
iridescent lights.
The Cult
Followers and priests of Kybele have erected countless memorial shrines all
over Ancaria, although many of them are hard to recognize as one. The church
of Kybele does not emphasize grandiosity. Instead, they prefer chasteness and
humility, which is consequently reflected in all her shrines. Worldly
possessions do not mean anything to Kybele, for the only real and most valuable
treasure in the world is life.
The symbol of Kybele is a bead. All her priests wear a bead made of stone or
wood as a pendant. It represents the life bringing tears of Kybele and the
blessing of her sympathy. Members of her cult will occasionally gather around
the shrines for collective meditation or celebrations. It is not surprising
that spring is commonly considered the time of the year dedicated to Kybele.
When plants reach up toward the first beams of the warm spring sun, the
followers of Kybele all over Ancaria bring all kinds of sacrifices to her,
welcoming her back from her long absence and trying to convince her to stay for
a while to restart the cycles of life. The second high feast of Kybele is in
late summer, when the fields are harvested and the grapes of the earth are
stored for the upcoming winter. This time, they are celebrating their
thankfulness and their hopes to see her again next year.
Opponents and Supporters
In the Ancarian Pantheon, Kybele supports Lumen, the God of Light in his
eternal struggle against Ker. She is also opposed to Kuan, the God of War.
--------------------------------------------
[RG2]
Testa - God of Science
Testa is the God of science. He is the God who defines the rules that govern
how things work. His is the spirit that animates mechanical things and causes
machines to operate.
Mythology
Being the God of science, Testa works hand in hand with Forens, the Goddess of
philosophy and wisdom. However, while Forens is focusing on the aspect of "the
word", Testa is responsible for technical and mechanical knowledge. From the
simplest laws of physics, to complex machinery, Testa is the spirit and the
force behind it. Testa always follows a clear path of cause and effect. All
events are triggered by other events and can be backtracked. That's the
decisive difference from the rather elusive and obscure answers to the
questions of philosophy.
The theological descent teaches us that shortly after the creation of the
world, Testa himself built a huge machine, which is now known as "the great
machine", and animated it. Then, he created replicas of himself to maintain the
machine. Replicas, which are in fact partly machines themselves.
Appearance
Testa is commonly displayed as a dog head made of steel on a mechanical
apparatus in the shape of a human body. His ribcage is open and one can see the
complex machinery with gears, bolts and pipes inside.
The Cult
Since every culture has at least some form of Science, Testa can claim temples
and followers in virtually all regions of Ancaria. However, it is obvious that
his influence is stronger in the more industrialized regions of the world.
Reflecting his focus, the science, many of the followers of Testa are
intellectuals, or at least educated people. Many people consider Testa as both
a God, but also an inspiration. They are not just worshipping him, they are
trying to emulate his spirit and let themselves be guided by his ideas.
Testa's symbol is the gear wheel, representing one of the heart pieces of
mechanical animation. This symbol is displayed in all his temples and memorial
shrines and it's considered the perfect shape amongst the believers of Testa.
Opponents and Supporters
Testa is closely related to Forens, the Goddess of Philosophy and wisdom.
Otherwise he takes a neutral position in the Ancarian pantheon, especially in
regards of Ker and Lumen's battle.
--------------------------------------------------
[RG3]
Forens - Goddess of Philosophy
Forens is the Goddess of Philosophy and Wisdom. She is the goddess who inspires
men to ask the question "why?" She endows people with the power of speech,
wisdom, and learning. She is also elusive, just as the answers to the great
questions are elusive.
Mythology
Forens is a constant wanderer between the worlds. She is constantly moving
around the universes, back and forth into time, but at the same time, she's
omnipresent. Whenever a new universe is created, she is the first one to bring
"the word" to it, which is a synonym for enlightenment and speech. Because just
like living beings, "the word" needs to be created, it doesn't come naturally.
For her, a world without words, without thoughts and questions is a lost world,
empty and without a soul. Living beings need to learn, because that's what
makes them living beings. Therefore, Forens is on an eternal quest, trying to
evoke the fire of asking in every race and being.
Appearance
Like any other God, Forens has multiple forms of appearances. In the elven
mythology, she's displayed as a beautiful woman, with black hair and shimmering
eyes, which - if you look into them - contain the entire universe. In other
regions, Forens doesn't have a human or even physical form and is just a
shining halo, talking with a deep, soft voice.
The Cult
There are temples dedicated to Forens in every bigger town in Ancaria.
Especially amongst the intellectual circles, Forens is a very popular goddess.
Every elven University in Ancaria has a small chapel, dedicated to Forens,
where students meet every week to pray and ask for blessing and enlightenment.
In the rural regions of the world, the cult of Forens is not as popular,
although some local groups in certain elven areas are still worshipping her.
The symbol of Forens is the candle. It represents the light that's being
ignited to bring knowledge into the darkness of the mind. High priests of the
cult wear an embroidered candle on their robes.
A side arm of the main cult follows the "Codex Forens." It's an ancient
manuscript, containing long chunks of philosophical and theological text. The
author claims, that Forens herself has insinuated everything to him in long
sessions of trance and meditation. However, the main cult leaders don't believe
this version, so this sub section of the cult is operating independently.
Opponents and Supporters
Although Forens supports Testa and Lumen, she is actually an independent
Goddess and does not interfere much in the struggle between the other Gods.
She instead prefers to focus on her eternal quest.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[RG4]
Lumen - God of Light
Lumen is the God of light. He makes things seen, he heals, he can see the
future and he can see the past. Lumen represents the good side, benevolence and
care.
Mythology
Lumen and Ker... the Yin and Yang. The fire and the water. The light and the
darkness. Lumen is fighting an eternal battle against his arch-opponent, Ker,
Goddess of darkness and evil. A battle, which he both wins and loses every day.
It is obvious to both sides that neither of them can win, and that they cannot
even exist without the other. But this battle is their destiny, their fate,
which they seem to have accepted. The two opposite entities Lumen and Ker play
a special role in the Ancarian religion. Being the extreme sides, all other
Gods have to take a stand in their battle, or remain neutral, which is just a
third position in the divine equilibrium. There are many different theories
about the relation between Lumen and Ker or the origin of their antagonism. In
some cultures, the two Gods are considered twins, who hate each other, because
they can not stand the idea that they are not unique. Consequently, they took
the most contrarious positions against each other. In other cultures it is
being said that both gods are claiming a deciding role in the creation process
of the world. Lumen says, that the essence of the world is actually light and
that darkness is just a by product, while Ker claims that the opposite is true.
Appearance
Lumen is commonly displayed as a male human. Despite his long, white hair, he
has a young face. Another identifying feature is the bright Halo that surrounds
him, merging his entire body into a silhouette.
The Cult
There are temples dedicated to Lumen all over Ancaria. Since the cult of Lumen
represents one of the extreme side of the eternal battle of good against evil,
he - as well as Ker - are the Gods who can claim to have most followers. Lumen
is not only the God of light, he is also the God of healing. Therefore, many of
his temples have become some sort of hospitals as well. Sick and injured people
often visit his temples, seeking cures and remedies. Priests of Lumen are said
to have the ability of channeling the divine powers of Lumen through their
hands. In the church of Lumen, the cycle of the day is very important. Sunrise
is a very special moment for all his followers, because it represents the
arrival of Lumen. On the opposite, every sunset is bemoaned, and in their
prayers the believers express their hope and confidence that the night - the
reign of Ker - will soon be over.
------------------------------------------------
[RG5]
Kuan - God of War
Kuan, God of War. This is the god who protects the warrior and fills him with
the raging spirit he needs to succeed in battle.
Mythology
Kuan is the divine personification of the perfect warrior. For him, fighting is
the ultimate reason behind all things. All beings must fight and struggle for
superiority. As soon they stop fighting, they have lost their reason to live
and deserve death. Because only fighting ensures the survival of the stronger,
and the elimination of the weaker side and - thus - progress and evolution.
Just like a gardener has to remove the dead branches from a tree and the
surgeon has to burn out an ulcerating wound, war is there to cleanse the world
and constantly eliminate everything that's not strong enough. All contrary
aspects such as mercy, compassion and love are just symptoms of diluted
weakness, leading to stagnation and poisoning the natural flow of things. There
is no alternative to war! Kuan disdains sacrifices or pleas for his favor
before battles. He will support the side that is strongest unto itself, without
the aid of deities, although his spirit will encourage all warriors.
Appearance
Kuan is a tall warrior, wearing black, heavy armor, a black cloak that goes all
the way down to his ankles and a full helmet that covers his entire head.
Although his shape is obviously humanoid, it is impossible to tell what race he
is.
The Cult
Kuan is omnipresent in Ancaria. There is literally no part of the world where
he is not known, and where his word and doctrines are not being spread. Since
Kuan does not emphasize prayers, sacrifices or being worshipped, the followers
of his cult strictly focus on sharing the ideas of the world, war and the
reason for living. For them, war is a religion and a God in itself. And Kuan is
the driving force behind all this. This is a remarkable difference from all
other churches and Gods. There are no holy days in the church of Kuan. Amongst
the believers, every battle is automatically considered a religious event. The
symbol of Kuan is a sword sticking in a skull.
Opponents and Supporters
Although Kuan is in some ways related to Ker, he is actually a separate,
isolated deity with his very own, hedonistic views, which does not leave much
space for other philosophies.
------------------------------------------
[RG6]
Ker - Goddess of Evil
Ker, Goddess of evil. She is the destroyer, the bringer of darkness.
Mythology
Ker is the synonym for destruction and death. She is the impersonation of evil,
the origin of all chaos. She doesn't tolerate any form of order, because order
is a form of stability and stability means stagnation. Chaos is the only valid
form of existence and the darkness is the only answer to the weak. Ker is
fighting an eternal battle against Lumen, the God of light and this battle is
the great religious theme in Ancaria. But it's a battle which can not have a
winner, for chaos can not exist without order and destruction is impossible
without creation. Both deities are eternally bound together, depending on what
they hate most. It's their fate to fight their very own counterpart, knowing
that annihilating one means destroying the other. A tenacious theory amongst
Ancarian mystics says, that Lumen and Ker are actually brother and sister, who
are both trying to fight the other in an attempt to be unique.
Appearance
Ker is described as a woman of unnatural beauty, with red, shimmering hair. But
her eyes are so cold and cruel, that just looking into them will drive any
living being into insanity. In addition to her human shape, she's got a single
horn, protruding from her forehead. Ker is usually dressed in many layers of
cloth, seemingly loosely wrapped around her body.
The Cult
Although Ker has a huge amount of followers behind her, most of her temples and
shrines have been erected in more or less secret places. For obvious reasons,
Ker is a feared deity amongst those who're not members of here church, and
people tend to avoid any contact with the believers of Ker. Therefore, the
church of Ker has to operate furtively in most parts of the world. Ker has
quite a number of holy days during the Ancarian year. Most of them are
celebrated with bloody, chaotic rituals, which usually include human
sacrifices, torture and lots of blood. The exact reasons behind all those
feasts are written down in the secret sacred books, the "Codex Ker". Only the
high priests of Ker have access to those books. The symbol of the church of
Ker is a broken chain link, which represents breaking the boundaries of order
and the destruction of stability.
Opponents and Supporters
Ker is the arch enemy of Lumen, the god of light. These two are fighting an
eternal battle against each other.
---------------------------Lore Of Weaponry
[WP1]
Preface
Since the dawn of time, all intelligent races have spent endless resources
studying, developing and perfecting the lore of weaponry. The art and science
of weaponry is not only about creating the most efficient ways of killing an
opponent. It's also about having the best response to an opponents weapon and
especially his armor. Of course, this requires dedicated study of your
opponents. Generally, there are four categories of weapons: single-handed,
two-handed, pole and ranged. All of them have their very own advantages and
disadvantages, and play their role in duel as well as battle situations.
Single-Handed Weapons
This category contains the widest range of weapons. From a simple club to a
dagger and all the way to mace, axe and sword. Using a weapon in one hand is
the most natural way of fighting, because it emulates the bare fist punch, In
addition, single-handed weapons also offer the fighter a good variety of
options for the off-hand, thereby determining his fighting style. He can equip
a shield to increase his defensive potential, or another weapon to give him
more attacking chances.
There are single-handed weapons designed for all kinds of damage, slash,
thrust and crush. Some of them are limited to just one type of damage, while
other weapons are more versatile in terms of damage output. The most versatile
weapon is the sword, which, if used properly, is able to deal all kinds of
damage. This flexibility is certainly the main reason why swords and sword-like
weapons are the most popular.
A special fighting technique is the Armantin or dual-wield style. Here, the
fighter will use one weapon in each hand. There are numerous ideas and tactics
for this style. Many fighters are used to wielding two weapons of the same
type, others prefer different types of weapons to enhance their offensive
abilities.
Two-Handed Weapons
Two-handed weapons are of longer range than their single-handed counterparts.
The combined force of two arms in combination with excellent leverage and
swing momentum also means that a blow from a two-handed weapon is much harder
than the usual one-handed blow. However, there obviously has to be a drawback
somewhere. It's very hard (and in some cases even impossible) to fight at close
range with such weapons. Two-handed swords and two-handed battle-axes are the
most common weapons of this type. Although they seem to be similar, they
require a completely different fighting style. While the sword is controlled
from a rather small hilt, the axe fighter has access to the whole shaft, which
allows a number of additional moves and levers.
Two-handed weapon fighters dismiss almost all defensive options, and are purely
relying on their offensive skills. Fighting with those weapons is extremely
aggressive.
Pole-Weapons
Pole-weapons are basically a special form of two-handed weapons. However, since
fighting with these weapons requires a special style, they are classified as a
different type of weapon. Pole-weapons are polearms, pikestaffs, spears and
halberds. All these weapons have a very long range of effect. On the downside,
they are almost useless in close range combat, which is one of the reasons why
pole-weapon fighters tend to wear a secondary weapon on their belts. Pole-
weapons are generally considered weapons for mass battles. When operating from
behind a safe shieldwall, a polearm or spear squad is a devastating unit.
Ranged Weapons
Bow, crossbow and all other forms of missile weapons are a special, unique
class of weapons. They are used for killing at long distances, so there is no
direct contact between the combatants. Missile weapons are the perfect choice
for siege situations and for large battles. For single combat, they require a
special tactics. Good bowmen will not reveal their location until they have
fired their arrow.
Armor
Simultaneously to the development of weapons, all Ancarian races have developed
some form of armor to counter the effectiveness of weapons. The deciding factor
of armor is the trade off between protection on one hand and encumbrance of the
wearer on the other hand. All kinds of armor offer good protection against
certain types of damage, while being vulnerable to other kinds of damage. Plate
armor is especially useful against slash and crush weapons, but considerably
weaker against thrust. Chain is the perfect protection against slash, but
almost useless against crush. Whichever armor a fighter prefers, he always
needs to take into consideration that some weapon types will render his suit of
armor useless.
Technology
Quality of material and craftsmanship should never be underestimated. The
difference between a good weapon and a mediocre weapon can decide a fight, a
battle, possibly an entire war. In centuries of research and development,
blacksmiths of all races have gained enough knowledge to create long lasting a
nd flexible weapons. Still, it is the High Elven steel that is considered the
best choice for a weapon. A sword made of good High Elven steel is highly
resistant against rust. It is also extremely flexible and can bend up to 90
degrees before it finally snaps.
Technique
Even the best weapon in the world is just a useless piece of wood and metal if
the fighter lacks the skill to wield it properly. The ability to use the weapon
is as important as the weapon itself. There are lots of different schools of
fighting in Ancaria, some of them more popular than others. But they all have
one thing in common and that's the goal of distracting the opponents defense
and landing the first and deciding blow. This is mostly achieved by a
combination of blows and fast and quick movement.

Swords
"The day I lose respect for my swords is the day I die."
---Nuagin Thedoilin, Elven Swordmaster
In many ways, the sword can be considered the king of weapons. A sword in the
hands of a skilled master at arms is absolutely deadly. No armor can withstand
a well placed strike. If two swords meet, only the better fighter will win.
There is no room for a lucky strike. Sword fighting requires three different
skills: speed, strength and precision. A good swordfighter doesn't need to be
equally good at all three aspects. Any two of the three combined makes a good
fighter. The choice of the type of sword highly relies on the style of the
fighter. If a warrior is strong and precise, he can use a long and heavy sword.
The fast and precise fighter will prefer a shorter and lighter blade. There are
many different kinds of swords.
Shortsword
The shortsword is a small, compact weapon, that's able to inflict devastating
damage to a target, simply by the force of the impace. Shortswords are usually
not sharp, but pointy. Due to their reduced length, they're the perfect weapons
for very close combat, like fighting indoors during a siege for example.
Shortswords are the weapon of choice for a speed-precision fighter.
Broadsword
Broadswords are bigger versions of shortswords. Like their smaller cousins
they are not overly sharp, but thanks to the mass of the blade they are able to
crush through any kind of armor. Wielding a broadsword requires a lot of
strength and stamina, and controlling the blade takes a lot of practice and
clever use of the swing momentum. Broadswords are suitable for strength-
precision fighters.
Longsword
The longsword is the longest version of all one-handed blade weapons. Unlike
the short sword and the broadsword, the long sword has a very sharp blade and
can deliver both, slash and crush wounds. The extra length of the longsword
renders it a perfect dual weapon. However wielding a longsword requires the
expertise of a true master of swords. Strength-speed fighters will usually
choose the longsword.
Bastardsword
This weapon is also known as the 1 1/2-handed sword. It is too large for a one
handed weapon and too small to be called a two-handed sword. Very strong
fighters can wield a bastardsword with just one hand. However, fighting with a
bastardsword is usually a very special and unique mixture between two-handed
and single-handed fighting techniques. The ability to wield it with one hand
highly increase the variety of possible swings. While the impact of a
bastardsword cannot be compared to the damage of a two-handed sword, it is
still much more severe than the strike of a one-handed sword.
Forging the Sword
Decades of research, experience and learning are essential if one intends to
create a good sword. The steel must be perfect - flexible but strong. The
balance point needs to be exactly in the right spot. If it leans a smidgen to
either side it will turn a sword into a useless chunk of metal. The best swords
in Ancaria stem from northern Artamark, which has a long tradition of
weaponsmiths, all following the heritage of Tunathin, the legendary swordmaster
and smith, who lived 580 years ago. Very few swords made by him survived
throughout the centuries and each one of them is invaluable.
Rumors claim that Tunathin wrote a book containing all his secrets
experiences about swordmaking, and that this book is kept in the vault of the
weaponsmith guildhalls in Artamark's Gate. Others say that this book never
existed, that all his knowledge was transferred by word-of-mouth. Either way,
it is a fact that the swords from Artamark are of extraordinary quality, and
whoever is able to afford one calls one of the most powerful weapons in
Ancaria his own.
--------------------------------
[WP3]
Two-handed Swords
"The Gods had their reasons for giving us two arms. Encumbering one with a
wooden board was not one of them."
In many ways, two-handed swords (aka "Great Swords") are the kings of swords.
They are similar to their single-handed counterparts, but yet so superior. A
blow from a two-handed sword, unblocked and delivered with full force, is
devastating. No armor can withstand such a blow, if it is not magically
enhanced with protective or deflecting spells.
Although the weapons are kindred, it is impossible to compare the techniques of
fighting single-handed swords to two-handed swords. The mass of a single-handed
sword is small enough to be completely controllable by a human arm. However,
the two-handed sword is far too heavy for that. Two-handed swords are impact
weapons, the edge is usually not overly sharp and all the damage results from
the mass. Swiftly swinging a two-handed sword requires intensive use of
leverage and the swing momentum of your weapon. Precision is very important,
because once the blade is in motion, it is very hard to correct the blow, let
alone stop and change it. The two-handed sword fighter can chose from a wide
variety of moves and blows and thrusts. As with melee weapons, the most
successful moves consist of the combinations of different blows. A long swing,
distracting the defense, followed by a sudden, hard thrust to the face is hard
to counter.
Two-handed swords are purely offensive weapons. It is extremely hard to block
or parry with them. In a fight against any single-handed weapon, the two-handed
fighter will always try to land the first blow, while the one-handed weapon
fighter will try to get past the critical range and into close range combat,
where the great sword is no longer as effective. Many great swordfighters carry
a secondary close range weapon, dagger or rapier, on their belt as a backup
weapon.
"Watching a duel between two-handed swords is like watching a dance rather than
a fight."
A mirror matchup on the other hand is completely different. A duel between two
masters of great sword fighting is highly aesthetic and exciting to watch.
Both sides are constantly trying to anticipate and counter the opponents moves
and actions. It is the battle of two minds as well as the fight of two swords,
and the win usually goes to the fighter who managed to land the first blow by
unbalancing his opponent or tricking him into leaving a gap in his defense.
Polearms
"This wound was delivered by a WHAT?"
--- Chyriac, field surgeon of King Larenoir, examining a body mauled by a
polearm
Although there seem to be many similarities between greatswords and polearms,
the fighting style is in fact completely different. Unlike greatswords,
polearms concentrate the mass of impact to a much smaller area, making the blow
considerably harder, but at the same time more difficult to land.
Unlike the greatsword, which has a relatively small hilt compared to the rest
of the blade, the polearm features a much larger part for the control of the
weapon. The pole can be up to six feet long. The wide grip means excellent
leverage and thus extremely fast motions. A skilled polearm fighter is able to
deliver any kind of blow out of a resting stance with no preparation.
For the same reason, blocking is a lot easier with a polearm than it is with a
greatsword, leaving the fighter more options to adjust his style. Polearm
fighters have no need to be as aggressive if the prefer to fight defensively.
Many polearms have a buttspike for close range combat.
However, the same tactical basics hold true for all two0handed weapons: their
main advantage is the range. Once the opponent is too close, the weapon is
weak. Without any doubt, the most efficient use of polearm fighters is in
battle situations. A group of polearm fighters, protected by a defensive wall
of shields is extremely hard to eliminate.
Spears
"I didn�t see that coming..."
--- Last words of Duke Throidor, who died from a spear in the battle of
Ai�Unthain
Spears are pure thrusting weapons. There is no blade, there is no edge, just a
spearhead. The shaft of the weapon is up to nine feet long and extremely hard
to control. A spear is not the best choice for duels. But in battles, a skilled
spear fighter can eliminate dozens of opponents. An incoming spear is extremely
difficult to see - by the time you do, it is usually too late. Therefore,
thrusts to the face from behind a wall of shields are the most effective
tactics in open field battles.
----------------------------------------------
[WP4]
Dual Wield
"Shields are overrated"
--- Armantin, in his book "The Art of Two Swords" (written in 529)
The oldest document of a dual wielding fighting style is dated 1500 years ago.
It's a small image in the Elisithian manuscript and shows a Seraphim defeating
a Camach with two longswords. Numerous Heroes and masters at arms are known to
have used this style in battles, duels and tournaments. The most well known of
all is certainly Armantin Tarabath, Warlord under Emperor Turiam III in the
limes of the Six Wars. Every student of dual wield sword fighting is still
following his techniques and principles, as described in bis famous book "The
Art of Two Swords". Because of this huge influence, dual wield sword fighting
is commonly known as armantin-style or armantin for short.
Wielding one weapon in each hand is without any doubt the most aggressive
fighting style. The armantin fighter dismisses the protective element of a
shield in exchange for an extra sword. This automatically determines his
fighting style and tactics. The lack of blocking capacity makes it impossible
for him to fight defensively. Instead, he will try to kill his opponent as
quickly as possible by covering him with enormous amounts of combined swings
at an incredible speed, keeping his shield and weapon constantly busy. A good
armantine fighter will try to force his opponent to move his shield, thereby
leaving gaps in his defense.
Fighting armantin requires lots of practice. Both arms need to be equally
skilled and trained. If the off-hand isn't able to deliver swings, blows and
thrusts at the same speed and precision as the main-hand, the offensive
advantage of the extra weapon will vanish and leave the fighter with a poor
shield in the form of a sword. Only truly ambidextrous fighters can fight
armantin to its full potential. But armantin is not only about training the
arms. Movement and balance are of equal importance. While fighting with a
single weapon and shield can be quite static, the armantin fighter needs to be
able to move around and readjust the balance of his body, which is constantly
changing during the combination of swings.
"Your arms may deliver the deciding strike. But your legs win the fight."
--- Armantin in this book "The Art of Two Swords"
Of course, armantin is not limited to fighting with two swords (although
Armantin himself never used a weapon other than the sword). There are many
possible combinations, such as sword and axe, sword and dagger, two axes, mace
and sword and so on. While the combination of a crush and a slash weapon
certainly can be helpful in some fights, most fighters tend to use weapons of
the same kind, because it's a lot easier to master the flow of motions.
"The two-weapon fighter should always try to use the longest weapons he can
comfortably swing. It's essential to attack the opponent before he gets a
chance to get too close to you. You should always aim for the initiative, and
kill your opponent as soon as he's into your weapon range"
--- Passage from "The Art of Two Swords"
----------------------------------------------
[WP5]
Archery
"A bow is like a cat. It has its own will that you can't bend In order to
control it, you need to understand it first. And in order to understand it,
you need to let it control you."
--- Seribas Whitelock, Master Archer
Archery, the Science
Bows are the perfect symbiosis of different materials. The flexibility of the
bow-stave, transferring the acceleration to the string, which then passes it on
to the stiff and rigid mass of the arrow, made of steel and wood. It is the
inherent properties of the materials, which make the bow such a deadly weapon.
Interestingly, bows can be found in the history of every single culture in
Ancaria. However, it remains unclear, which race or culture can actually claim
to have invented the bow. Many theories are focusing on this question. Some
historians even say that bows are an Orcish invention.
One of the oldest examples for archery was found during the archaeological
excavation of an ancient Human cemetery. The burial objects in the graves
indicated that it must have been an extremely wealthy village. However, one of
the graves was different from the others. Instead of the usual amount of burial
objects found in the other graves, it just contained three arrow heads. It
took quite a while for the historians to figure out that in this particular
case, the arrow heads were actually not burial objects, but the cause of death.
No other weapon in the history of Ancaria went through an evolution like the
bow did. In ancient times, the bow was merely a weak and unreliable instrument,
used for hunting small animals. But over the centuries, the High Elves and
especially the Dryads have developed the technology to perfection, and created
one of the most powerful weapons ever seen. Made of a special kind of magical
wood called "Nyugharii" (Dryad: "Soul of the Forest"), Dryad bows are extremely
precise and long-ranged. A well crafted Dryad bow is the only missile weapon in
Ancaria that's able to penetrate the heart-scale of a Dragon.
Elven bows are usually made of yew wood. The typical Elven bow is longer than
its Dryad counterpart, and almost (but not quite) as strong. But this downside
is equalized by the fact that Elven arrows are commonly considered the best
arrows you can get. The expertise of Elven smiths is still unrivaled, and the
quality of arrowheads made of Elven steel definitely makes a difference - as
thousands of Orcs can't attest to any more.
Archery, the Art
"Are you longing for perfection! Don't fool yourself. A lifespan is not enough
to master the bow."
--- Seribas Whitelock to a student
It is the most efficient way to kill an enemy. Nock an arrow, draw the string,
release it and watch the arrow find its target. Silent and with deadly
precision, bows are able to kill at long distances, long before the enemy can
even reach you.
But not so fast! It is a long path before this picture becomes reality.
Countless hours of practice are required before you can call yourself an
archer. Only the most talented will make the cut and become a master bowman.
Archery requires a combination of physical and mental skills. High dexterity,
sharp eyes, the ability to concentrate and good reflexes are all equally
important.
Archery in Battles
An army of skilled archers is able to decide battles and entire wars. There are
many examples in the history of Ancaria, where archers have been the deciding
factor for a victory. However, just having archers is not enough. It takes some
tactical skills to use them to their full effectiveness. Archers are generally
weak as soon as their targets get into melee range. Therefore, protecting the
archers is a key tactic in battles. It is essential to give them as much time
as possible, because more time means more opportunities to fire arrows.
Archers in battle units usually wear light armor to keep them as mobile as
possible, enabling them to avoid direct encounter with heavily armored troops.
And even in siege situations, where most of the heavy armored troops are
rendered useless, archers are a useful unit due to their ability to shoot
burning arrows or take out single defenders from the distance.

[WP6]
T-Energy
Since the beginning of systematic research on the Lore of Magic, magical
weapon (and armor) enhancement has been one of the top disciplines. Simply
embedding a spell or enchantment is the basic form of this art. More complex
ideas include chains of spells or even spells that can be triggered by the user
of the weapon. In many cases, weapon enhancing magic will just add magical
damage to the damage that is already being dealt by the weapon, increasing the
overall damage and avoiding certain resistances. But the variety of options is
in fact far wider. Literally all kinds of spells can be embedded into a weapon.
It was only a matter of time until someone came up with the idea to replace the
controlled magic energy with the most primal and dangerous form of magic
energy, the T-Energy. There is no way to control T-Energy. It is a constant
flow of chaotic power that is almost impossible to channel, let alone control.
However, in the year 352 - After decades of dedicated research - the Archlords
of the High Elf school of essence finally found a magic ritual that bound tiny
pieces of T-Energy to a static object. The results were amazing. The T-Energy
promptly took control over the object, but did not destroy it. Instead, it
frequently unleashed small bits of energy with devastating effects. The
ultimate weapon seemed to be born, but soon it became obvious that this was
just an illusion, because the energy strikes were not targeted. Anyone wielding
such a weapon would sooner or later inevitably kill himself. But the initial
step was made.
Another fifty years of research were necessary before the means to concentrate
T-Energy to a certain part of a weapon were found, thus ensuring that the
unleashed energy would only target the intended object rather than leaking
randomly. With this major advancement, the path to T-energy weapons was clear.

How to Deal with Undead? A Guideline
"He moved towards me - swaying, his body oddly twisted and dislocated. His
staring squinting look appeared to go right through me. Some strange and
indiscernible green liquid oozed from his mouth while he attempted
to speak. I drew my sword but then I realized it was not a zombie, it was the
captain who was completely drunk on his way to his cabin."
---from the travelogues of Nayjol the Adventurer
Every adventurer has heard of them and many have already encountered them:
Marauding zombies on derelict cemeteries, erratic skeletons on historic
battlefields, vampires in their shape shift forms as wolves or bats, or ghosts
doing their boring spooking routines, undead come in many shapes and forms.
Undead creatures are not only extremely obnoxious, they are also classed as
highly dangerous! Many unprepared adventurers underestimated the danger and
lost their lives to the 'un-life'. This guide was written to assist the
aspiring adventurer in his dealings with undead creatures. "Know thy enemy!"
is our motto. Well then, let's meet the enemy!
The lowest form of undead creatures are skeletons, zombies and mummies. All
these forms are reanimated bodies without mind or intellect. Reanimating bodies
is the simplest form of necromancy, basically dead easy (pun intended) for any
conjurer of death. This is probably the reason why these kinds of undead
creatures are encountered more often than the other, more complex variations.
The rules of conduct while dealing with skeletons, zombies or mummies are
pretty straightforward: If you wish to avoid them, do not go near any
cemeteries or battle fields. Catacombs and dungeons are also preferred habitats
of these creatures.
If an encounter is inevitable, your choice of actions is rather limited. Each
and any attempt to lead a conversation will be futile, thus, you will have to
resort to pure violence. However, do be careful! Zombies, and even more so
skeletons, are tough opponents. They are held together by necromantic magic and
thus, they are able to regenerate severe wounds and even severed limbs within a
short amount of time. The magic will only dissipate when the bodies have been
completely dismembered and only then will their remains dissolve.
While skeletons and zombies are rather dumb, ghouls do have some sort of
ability to think. Ghouls are creatures which are half dead and half alive.
Trapped in this interstage they wander the world without aim, feed on carrion
and human bodies and they are typically timorous. Still, attempting to solve
an imminent conflict with ghouls by verbal means is also futile. Your first
choice should be drawing your weapon.
"Approximately three hundred years ago a blow like that could have killed me!"
ranted the ghost before he disappeared through the closed door and left me
standing with my sword in my hand.
---from the travelogues of Nayjol the Adventurer
Ghosts and apparitions are bodiless and as such the exact opposite of the
bodied undead such as zombies, skeletons and mummies. Here, only the ethereal
part of a being has been reanimated. Ghosts and apparitions are thinking beings
- often even capable of speaking - created by a complicated focus of
necromantic energy.
Despite - or because of - their lack of bodies, ghosts and apparitions are
dangerous opponents. Average weapons do not have any impact on ghosts. If you
intend to stand your ground against a ghost, you will require magic or at least
magical weapons. That is the only way these beings can be hurt.
Vampires are the ultimate form of undead existence. They are free, independent
and thinking beings with supernatural abilities and powers. They are not
created by necromancy, instead, they create themselves. Nobody knows where they
came from, yet they exist. And they are extremely dangerous!
Not many adventurers can claim that they encountered a vampire and lived to
tell the story. Evidently, a wooden stake, driven through the heart of a
vampire will paralyze the undead creature. Furthermore, beheading a vampire
will kill it. Contrary to popular belief the use of garlic, holy water and
escaping across running waters are all ineffective according to several
sources.

How to Behave Around Dragons
They are without a doubt some of the most fascinating creatures of the world.
Dragons in all their various shapes arc not only truly impressive, they are
also intelligent, sentient beings. Their stature is awe-inspiring and demands
respect. Dragons can measure up to 500 Ancarian cubits in length and 350
Ancarian cubits in height. It is impossible to obtain any definite information
about their weight. Nobody has been able to persuade a Dragon to step on scales
(well... weighing machines, they do step on other scales fairly frequently!).
Several adventurers have already paid for their curiosity about a - female, no
less - Dragon's weight with their lives.
Their origins as well as their motivation to settle in this universe are
unknown. We do know, however, that they have found refuge on Ancaria and now
they are shielded from the rest of the mundane world. They are a very rare
sight, which makes it even the more important to be prepared for such
encounters. Dragons are not necessarily hostile towards other creatures. Yet,
they are bizarre creatures with somewhat eccentric characteristics. A seemingly
insignificant remark or an unobtrusive gesture may arouse their anger. Those
mistakes are usually avoidable - and more often than not lethal.
Dragons are undeniably vain, They are susceptible to flattery and compliments.
On the other hand they perceive any kind of objection or criticism as a
personal insult. Anyone conversing with a Dragon should bear that in mind. We
highly recommend a positive choice of words! Patronizing remarks, even if they
are not intended lo be condescending, should be avoided at all costs.
All Dragons naturally display an aura of arrogance. They deem themselves as
generally superior. Usually, they do not regard other beings as adequate
counterparts. When dealing with Dragons you should always be aware of that fact
and tread carefully.
One of the biggest weaknesses of Dragons is their curiosity. They are always
interested in the unknown and you might be able to use that to your advantage.
Body odor - a very sensitive subject. No matter which way you look at it, there
is no denying that Dragons stink! Generally, they are surrounded by a stench of
decay, sulfur and burnt flesh. You will have to be able to control your body
very well in order to suppress the naturally occurring retching reflex. Still,
it is essential that you do so. You should also refrain from holding your nose
as that would be perceived as an insult.
Dragons feed on Humans. Many Dragons keep Humans in kennels. These poor
creatures are typically not a pretty sight as they are left to vegetate in
their own excrement for years. However, you should never refuse an offer of a
snack, as Dragons detest rejection of their food or invitations.
Dragons expect to be treated with respect and courtesy. They do not appreciate
it if you attempt to curry favor or chum up with them. Although Dragons arc
certainly not Elves, they are aware of their conduct and they have adapted it
for themselves.
Beltorak awoke with a start when his corporal entered the tent. He needed
merely a second to be aware of his surroundings.
"Is it time yet?" he asked.
The corporal nodded.
Shortly after, the small delegation was ready to leave. Beltorak checked that
the dispatch, which he was supposed to relay to the Dragon in the name of the
empire, was safely tucked away in its document case and fastened to his belt.
Finally, the small group began to advance up the hill.
Beltorak had not been born a diplomat. Once again he asked himself why he had
been entrusted with that task. Negotiating with Dragons about small adjustments
of borders was not commonplace for him. He was certain there were people better
suited to that task than him.
Once they arrived at the designated meeting point, they saw the dragon who had
settled on an elevated rock. He rested his head on one arm, scratched symbols
into the stone with the claws of the other arm and peered intently at the group
of five Elves coming up the hill, panting.
Beltorak, flanked by his corporals, look a moment to compose himself. He
fumbled for his document case, opened it, took out the scroll of paper and
unrolled it. He cleared his throat and then raised his voice in order to read
out the government's dispatch. "Through unspeakable dangers and despite
uncountable difficulties I have made my way to this castle on the outskirts of
the Kobold city..."
Beltorak froze! His thoughts began to spin around while he tried to analyze the
situation. Whoever was responsible for the bad joke of switching the dispatch,
he would pay for it. He quickly scanned the faces of his corporals and then he
spotted a faint grin on one of them. Telthoe - he should have known! He never
forgave him for taking his wife away from him.
The Dragon raised an eyebrow. Despite his naturally rather limited options for
facial expressions he produced a surprised look.
Beltorak's brain was working frantically. He had to improvise. Quickly! A drop
of sweat trickled down from his temple while he attempted to come up with an
appropriate salutation. It look only fractions of seconds to discard
"my dear" or "pal" as suitable options. He was under pressure and the situation
was on the verge of escalating so he decided on a desperate attempt. He drew a
quick breath and began his address with a simple:
"Hello!"
---Ancarian Heroic Sagas. Book 4
---------------------------------------------------
[MT3]
Searching the libraries of the empire for works about Trolls is usually futile.
The general consensus states that there is nothing worth reporting about this
species. They are too basic, their mind is too dumb. Trolls are huge,
aggressive beings living in the Orc territories. Most scholars and adventurers
agree that this is all there is to say about them.
Admittedly, Trolls are not the most intelligent creatures in Ancaria. The
average vocabulary of a Troll comprises of approximately one hundred words -
most of which are variations of the basic needs: eat, drink, fight, procreate.
Trolls with the ability to produce complete sentences or solve simple
arithmetical problems are few and far between. Still, some individuals stand
out from the crowd. The best-known example of a gifted Troll is Trugzk from
northern Artamark. He wrote no less than three novels - although short ones -
in his lifetime and published them. However, some claim that these novels did
not stem from his chisel and hammer but instead, from a mediocre Ogre author.
Trolls love to fight. They love to crush their opponents and to devour the
dismembered body parts afterwards. Fighting gives the Trolls some kind of
purpose in life. Other than that they are peace-loving, even gentle beings
underneath. When Trolls are unable to fight - let's say in captivity - they
become wistful, withdraw and die. In fact, Trolls never survive for longer than
a few years in Captivity while they can reach the age of 150 in freedom. Grotz,
who used to live in the area around Orcish Byway for many years, was reputedly
184 years old when he was battered to death in a fight against brigands.
Similar to Ogres and Orcs, Trolls feed predominantly on meat. They are able to
consume enormous amounts of meat at once and within a very short amount of time.
Additionally, they eat pebbles and they will not refuse the odd rock or two
either. Their teeth are perfectly adapted for this kind of diet. Troll teeth
are amongst the hardest materials known to man.
Trolls boast an excellent sense of smell as opposed to their atrocious sense of
vision. The short-sightedness of Trolls is proverbial and it is the subject of
many jokes and metaphors.
--------------------------------------Herbs
[HB1]
General
Most residents of Ancaria aren't able to distinguish more than four different
kinds of herbs. They know that hermit leaves stink and are a good spice for
their food, that Celandine can cause the milk of their goats to taste bitter,
that shadow moss is good for sprains and that Mandragorum Officinarum (even
though most can't pronounce the name) can perform miracles in relation to love.
They tend to divide the herbs in three different categories: flavor enhancers
for food, medicinal herbs and poisons. Knowledgeable herbalists also know that
the herb that can heal is also able to kill, and that deadly herbs are
sometimes useful for love - and not just to gel rid of an unwanted rival.
Herbalists can be found far away from the streets and villages, in places where
no horseshoes trample the green and where the shadowy forest doesn't have to
give way to fields. Their knowledge is passed on from generation to generation
but only to those who have proven themselves worthy. Healers, poisoners and
cooks seek out these herbalists when they start their training, and the best
stay for many years. The herbalists generally don't care why their knowledge
is sought, much as a blade isn't interested in whether it's chopping bread or
heads. Some of them choose to enter certain guilds, and they offer their
services as healers. They have a high position in most villages and towns,
because many of the residents owe their lives and well-being to the herbalist's
skill. They rarely work for free. Contrary to popular opinion most herbalists
aren't spiritualistic forest goblins who live in mossy huts, they are clever
business people who know quite well that some herbs are worth a hundred times
their weight in gold.
If you're interested in this profession you'll need a lot of patience and good
eyes. It's a time consuming business to gather herbs, and the difference
between a simple weed and a medicinal herb can be tiny. Beginners in this field
shouldn't worry if their first tries bring about nothing more than a tasty soup
or - in the worst case - a potentially fatal concoction (they should plan their
testing accordingly though). In the beginning it's advisable to concentrate on
the sick who are at death's door already, because in these cases nobody will
blame the healer when the attempt to heal them fails. Once you pass the first
obstacles, there are many doors that will open for you. everybody needs herbs,
from the hunter whose feet hurt in the evening to the prince who wants to get
rid of a nasty wart. Over the centuries immoral herbalists with a love of
experimentation have been able to increase their knowledge to such a degree
that today there's a remedy for almost every illness and condition. Its
possible to heal shaking plague, speckle fever, yellow blazes, sleeplessness,
dream fever and tinnitus as well as unanswered love and bad breath. Of course
even the best herbalist can't know all herbs, because some only grow in
deserts, others on mountains or in swamps, and one of them - fire lance, the
most valuable in all of Ancaria - only grows inside of volcanoes. So a sick
person can count themselves lucky when they find an herbalist who knows what's
needed to heal them as well as where to find it. You should turn away from
herbalists who ponder for a while and then say: "I haven't tried this myself,
but..." or "Let's see what happens, when..."
Let me add a word of warning: The life of an herbalist is quite dangerous, as
the story of King Halmud the fool proves. A prophet told him that he would die
from poison so he immediately ordered that all poisoners and herbalists would
be hunted down and killed. Shortly after the last herbalist passed away he died
from blood poisoning, because he cut his thumb while peeling an apple.

Ancaria's Herbs - Their Effects, Use and Special Features
* Thread Rush - grows in high grass and on the edge of fields. Cooked and
thickened you get a sticky spread that can be applied to aching eyes or any
kind of bruise, where it should remain for up to one day. It can also lessen
the after-effects of too much alcohol when applied to the temples and
forehead It's a staple supply for any healer that lives near a tavern or
barracks.
* Purple Coneflower - can be found on dry and sunny plains, but never in the
shadows. If you chew it, it can dispel bad breath so can be used to counter
the effect of hermit leaves. As a spread it can protect the skin from the
sun, and in it's liquid form has a calming effect on the stomach and
digestion. If the dosage of the liquid is too high, it can occasionally lead
to a blue discoloration of the skin. There's no known antidote against this
state.
* Shadow Moss - grows in damp and shadowy places, mostly in caves and swamps.
You can cut it out of the ground and immediately apply it to contusions,
sprains and broken bones without any preparation. Bandages with shadow moss
should be changed on a daily basis. It's not advisable to eat it, even if you
cook it, because it can lead to delusion, fever and death.
* Hermit Leaves - can be found in almost every deciduous forest of Ancaria,
where they grow between bushes and under old leaves. Hermit leaves can be
eaten raw or cooked, and they ease the pain of all kinds of sores. Applied
on the skin they reduce pain in neck and ears, but afterwards the skin smells
awful for several days. Eating it leads to bad breath, but this can be
countered with purple coneflower. It makes a nice seasoning for all kinds of
hearty meals, but eating hermit leaves with large amounts of alcohol can lead
to flatulence and diarrhea.
* Mandragorum Officinarum - is also called the "herb of lovers" and grows in
rocky and sandy areas. This is one of the herbs every man and woman in
Ancaria knows. The flowers have no scent, but when mashed and mixed with food
will cause the person who eats it to fall in love with the first person they
see. The responsible herbalist will make it clear to all interested buyers
that the feeling cannot be removed by eating the herb again, so extensive
planning should be used when considering serving it in food. The Mandragorum
Officinarum stems can enhance potency, and it's possible to remove unwanted
body hair by using a spread made with this herb.
* All-Herb - grows in stagnant water and swamps. Cooked with water and consumed
hot it can help with colds and internal organ problems, especially the lungs
and liver, and the same liquid is good for polishing tarnished silver.
All-herb can induce a deep slumber with pleasant dreams, warts will disappear
when it is applied to them, it can reduce pain in the head and teeth and
speed up the healing of wounds when the bandages are soaked in the liquid.
You can also use it to sweeten food, but you should never use it uncooked
because when consumed raw it can cause hair loss, cardiac arrest and even
death.
* Fire Lance - this is the rarest plant in Ancaria, because it only grows in
the craters of active volcanoes. It should be harvested with extreme caution
because the stems contain a potent acid, one that can corrode skin, leather
and even metal. The recommended harvesting method is to dig them out with
their roots, and cook them in a huge tank of water before trying to transport
them. This impressive long and red plant was used only as an exotic spice at
the tables of Princes and Kings for a long time, then it was discovered that
its roots can heal dream fever and the dreaded yellow blazes.
* Celandine - an unimposing plant, it grows near brooks and other running
waters as long as the temperature doesn't get too warm. A Celandine draught
is good for your digestion, but the effect kicks in after a few minutes so
the timing and place it's taken should be considered well.
* Speckle-Moss - grows on the trunks of old broad-leaved trees, but only on
their northern side. When applied to the skin or scalp it can reduce
dandruff, dry skin, skin irritation, rash and athlete's foot. After eating it
you have the temporary belief that you're a llama. Nobody knows why this
happens.
* Desert-Herb - a rare plant that can only be found in the places where ocean
and desert meet. Chewing the fresh or cooked leaves triggers a state of
euphoric happiness that can last for several hours, but being prepared as a
tea clearly reduces the effect so you'll only feel a pleasant contentedness.
Desert-herbs help the patient cope with the grief of losing a loved one or
similar situations. It should not be eaten for long periods of time, as
prolonged use can lead to paralysis of the legs and stultification.

Poisons of Ancaria: Their Use, Effect, and Attributes
* Shadow Weed - the most well known poisonous plant in all of Ancaria. It
grows in caves, under rocks, and in other dark places. Uncooked the plant has
a distinctively bitter taste that even strong spices can�t hide. However,
when cooked for several hours shadow weed becomes almost tasteless and can be
easily added to the victim�s meal. Adding hermit weed makes sure that no
trace of the telltale taste remains. Shadow weed acts swiftly. It causes
insanity, fever, finally death.
* Bear Paw - a poisonous plant from the coniferous woodlands of the north.
There it grows on treetops and crutches. The fine hairs that cover its leaves
are poisonous. They look like brown fur and can be scraped off with a knife.
It can be added to a victim�s meal without further preparation. The plant was
named not only for its look, but also for the swiftness of its kill which has
been compared to being struck down by a bear.
* Withermilk Weed - a nasty poison. This white, sweet smelling liquid can be
found in the roots of withermilk weed. One should take caution not to touch
the liquid as it is absorbed through the skin and slowly poisons the inner
organs. Withermilk poisoning is subtle and often only becomes apparent after
many months. The weed grows in desert regions, mostly on mountain sides or
between rocks. It should be applied to the sole of the foot as it causes a
slight discoloration of the skin which usually remains unnoticed there.
* Death Root - a herb that grows on decomposing cadavers. Drinking a brew made
from the cooked leaves of this herb causes almost instantaneous insanity. It
is said that death root sucks the spirit out of the dead and the living.
Uncooked death root leaves can also be put in cupboards to keep away moths.
* Ghost Mist - skillful administration is needed for this poison as only the
fumes that rise when cooking it are poisonous. Great care should therefore be
taken in windy regions. Ghost mist causes painful lumps when it comes into
contact with the victim�s (or the unlucky poisoner�s) skin. This symptom is
often confused with the deadly blain fever which healers tend to exploit for
their financial gain. Left untreated the lumps usually disappear after two or
three days.
* Farmer�s Curse - grows on wheat and corn fields. Its blossoms consist of fist
sized seed sacks that burst upon touch and cover the victim with poisonous
thorns. These thorns cause painful swelling and can be deadly when swallowed.
Poisoners avoid the plant because it is so difficult to handle.
* Stumble Weed - often found near ponds. The cooked roots cause a severe loss
of balance making normal movement impossible. They are mainly used in
moonshine to demonstrate the alleged strength of the liquor. The dried leaves
can be used as a spice and taste like cinnamon.
* Cramming Moss - a poisonous, but also agricultural plant. It grows in barren
mountain regions and is used by farmers to fatten cattle as it strengthens
the appetite. The moss is dried, then added to the cattle feed in small
amounts. Undiluted it is quite a spectacular poison as it forces victims to
eat until death. Often used at royal feasts as a deterrent.
* Blackfinger - grows in dark places like caves or ruins. In the south it is
also known as Two-Step because after consumption death is almost
instantaneous. Its black leaves are tasteless and odorless when cooked. They
can easily be added to dark sauces. The remaining brew can be used to dye
fabrics.

I. Tyr Lysia
Geography and climate:
Tyr Lysia, land of the High Elves lies south of the barren Western and Eastern
Dragon Teeth and north of the deserts of Bengaresh. It is a fertile and mild
land rich in rivers and streams, guarded by fortresses. Villages are surrounded
by small fields, birds nest in green hedges. The woods offer rich game.
Picturesque fishing villages line the coast in the west. The climate is
generally mild, but it can get rather hot in summer, except for the west where
a constant cool breeze attenuates the power of the sun. During the summer
season there is a chance of extended drought periods, although famines are
almost unheard of.
Inhabitants:
Tyr Lysia is mainly inhabited by High Elves who came here a long time ago from
the south. Farmers, fishermen, and craftsmen are governed by both nobility and
the clergy who lease land and collect taxes (usually food, goods or money. The
villages consist of simple houses, the inhabitants are friendly, but not very
outgoing around strangers. There are altars and small cult sites in almost
every village. They are usually decorated with flowers and grain ears. High
Elves believe in a large pantheon of deities. Villages show their wealth
through the number and sizes of their altars. Poor villages usually only have
one altar that all deities must share. Humans serve the noblemen in their
mansions or work as farm hands in rural areas. Only rarely does one come upon a
Human craftsman. Most Humans are servile, however some (mostly free Humans)
tend to be brazen and rude- One should avoid them as they tend to combine
stories about their unjust fate with begging.
Places of interest:
When visiting Tyr Lysia one should - of course after seeing the capital
Thylysium - also travel to two other places. One is Farview, an unassuming
small town blessed with a spectacular view. It lies at the top of a mountain
surrounded by smaller hills and plains which on a clear day allow the visitor
to see places as far away as the Dragon Teeth to the north and even Bluestone
Lake to the east. It's a steep ascent to Farview, but the most spectacular view
in all of Tyr Lysia is well worth the exertion. Unfortunately the amount of
visitors has also let to an enormous increase in thievery. Keeping a close eye
on one's possessions is advised. The other place of interest is called
Sonnenwind. It used to be a simple fishing village at Bluestone Lake, but then
aristocrats began building their summer residences there to escape the summer
heat. Nowadays nearly ten times as much people live there compared to the time
before the arrival of the aristocracy and the village specialty Eye Clam Salad
is nowadays renowned in all of Tyr Lysia.
Practices:
The harvest festival season in the fall almost guarantees that visitors will
have a good time. Every village celebrates the festival at a different date so
that one can spend weeks traveling from one festival to the other. Houses and
huts are decorated with flowers, noblemen open their wine cellars to the
public, jugglers, actors, and bards travel the land.
Recommendations:
Tyr Lysia is suitable for travel all year long, though it can
get very hot and dry upcountry in the summer. Visitors should avoid areas with
burned down villages, as these are often frequented by the undead which make no
difference between locals and travelers.
II.Thylysium
Geography and climate:
Thylysium lies near a river delta on the west coast of Tyr Lysia, land of the
Elves. Because of the Jade Sea the climate is dry, slightly salty, and
generally pleasant. In winter there's a likelihood of storms, but floods are
rare.
Inhabitants:
The population consists mainly of High Elves. The city is governed by the
Senate. Among its members are merchants, priests, and noblemen. They are the
upper-class of Thylysium and live in large townhouses. Leaving the broad
streets one soon comes across an astonishing number of different languages,
smells, and faces. People come to Thylysium from all parts of Ancaria,
sometimes to trade, sometimes just to satisfy their curiosity. Some are rich,
some poor- there are merchants and laborers, fishermen and thieves. Travelers
should be aware that a friendly face often hides a drawn dagger. One should
also avoid the town guard as its soldiers are known for taking bribes and are
often in league with one of the many gangs in town.
Places of interest:
Thylysium is a magnificent city. Even simple houses are made of granite (the
construction of wooden houses or mud huts is prohibited by law), townhouses and
temples are built with white marble. There are many places one should visit,
among them the Academy of Magic, the Senate and the surrounding gardens with
their exotic flowers, and the Road of the Aristocrats, a boulevard lined with
the largest and most opulent townhouses and mansions. Travelers who wish to
experience real life in Thylysium should visit the harbor where they will meet
all kinds of people and see an astonishing selection of goods. It has been said
that everything in Ancaria will sooner or later arrive at Thylysium's harbor.
After spending a day watching the harbor and eating in one of the many
cookshops travelers will most likely agree. The sea is covered in white sails
and dark brown wood Barrels are rolled from ships, crates are carried to the
markets, bolts of fabric are sold to the highest bidder. Even late in the night
one can hear the merchants bargaining and the laborers shouting. Humans,
animals, materials, jewelry, food - everything is traded in Thylysium.
Practices:
There is only one day without trade in Thylysium. On the Day of Contemplation
no ship may enter the harbor and all shops remain closed From sunrise until
sunset the city belongs to the Gods. Pilgrims walk between the temples to honor
each and every God. Priests smear ashes on their face or walk by swinging jars
with burning incense. The city is filled with the chants and songs of the
believers,- there is dancing, singing, and meditating. Until sunset no coin may
change hands and no business may be conducted The citizens of Thylysium hold
this day in such high regard that even thieves respect it and guards refuse to
be bribed.
Recommendations:
A clear mind and open eyes are needed in Thylysium. Travelers should be careful
when talking to citizens and should trust no stranger.
Notes
* Tyr Lysia, land of the High Elves lies south of the barren Western and
Eastern Dragon Teeth and north of the deserts of Bengaresh
* Capital is Thylysium
* Farview, at the top of a mountain surrounded by smaller hills and plains.

[TV2]
Artamark
Geography and climate:
The land of the Humans is green. From the mountains that line it a cold wind
constantly blows carrying rain in summer and snow in winter. Large woods cover
Artamark. Beneath the trees the ground is fertile. The large variety of crops
that grow here are responsible for the many tasty kinds of breads taverns serve
in Artamark. This green land again and again surprises the traveler with its
beauty like the view of snow covered mountain tops and mist rising from the
woods and evaporating in the pale sunlight.
Inhabitants:
The inhabitants are friendly and open-minded toward strangers. Artamark is
almost exclusively populated by Humans. The thatched huts and houses they live
in look picturesque, but offer good protection against common winter storms.
Most people in Artamark work as farmers or craftsmen, but some go to the woods
and try their luck as hunters. They kill game for meat and sell the pelts to
passing merchants. Brigands who also live in the woods often rob these
merchants.
Strangers are welcome in Artamark, but its inhabitants generally do not care
for High Elves or Orcs. This is understandable as High Elves regard Humans as
slaves whereas Orcs constantly threaten Artamark�s northern borders.
Places of interest:
Humans aren�t particularly renowned for their architectural masterpieces. There
buildings are mainly simple and practical, and they seem to have no eye for
beauty. Still, there are some places one should visit, for example Urthak�s
Moxie near the Orcish border. It is said that it was built over a period of two
hundred years and looking at its mighty walls rising out of the woods one can
almost believe this.
The market in Blackoaks in the south of Artamark should be the last stop on
one�s journey through the land simply to avoid being robbed further north. It
is the largest market in Artamark and deals mainly in furs, meat, and
craftsmanship, especially wood carvings. Human woodcraft is highly regarded in
all of Ancaria and may well be the only form of artistic expression displayed
in this land. The market offers all sorts of carvings from small earrings to
life size warrior statues that look so real one almost expects their hair to
move in the breeze.
In Artamark it is considered impolite to make a gift of something that could be
of use to the giver, as it implies that the giver is better off and therefore
superior to the receiver.
Recommendations:
If at all possible, one should travel through Artamark in the summer. The
weather is mainly pleasant then and one can also get a taste of a local
delicacy: a mush of deer brain and strawberries that is served with fresh
bread.
Notes
* Urthak�s Moxie near the Orcish border
* Market in Blackoaks in the south of Artamark. Largest market in Artamark
* Human woodcraft highly regarded in all of Ancaria

[TV3]
Nor Plat
Geography and climate:
Nor Plat, land of the Orcs lies in the north of Ancaria. mountains enclose huge
frozen plains that border in the north on the Dragon Sea. Looking from the
mountains over the land no trees are to be seen, only the dirty brown tundra
with patches of grass and moss that cling to the rock fighting against the cold
winds. The river Numak runs from north to south through the land. It is frozen
most of the year.
Inhabitants:
Monsters and creatures roam this harsh, cold land. There are Trolls, Ogres, and
Goblins, but the Orcs are the only ones who build settlements and exhibit signs
of a "culture".
Two attributes characterize Orcs: their stupidity and their enthusiasm for
battle. These potentially volatile combination is best met with a friendly
demeanor and short, easily understood sentences. Not many travelers make their
way to Nor Plat, that's why the Orcs always welcome visitors and invite them to
their mead halls to listen to stories from foreign lands. Travelers who are
asked for such a story should make sure that it deals with war and death and
still be grasped after five or six jars of mead.
There is only one God in Nor Plat: Kuan, the God of war. Almost every orc prays
to him. However, this spiritual unity has not led to a peaceful togetherness.
In fact, most Orc settlements are at war with their neighbors. The reasons for
this are complex clan hierarchies, blood feuds with long forgotten causes, and
the Orcish code of honor. Every Orc, from the ice fishers on the Numak to the
trappers in the tundra considers himself a warrior. A wrong word spoken under
wrong circumstances almost inevitably leads to bloodshed. It is said that the
major cause of death among grown male Orcs is a sudden loss of the head.
Places of interest:
Orc settlements consist of simple huts and dirt holes with a large mead hall
that serves as a gathering place in the center. The Orcs share these one room
huts with their cattle. They have no chimneys. Instead a simply but elegantly
constructed drain causes the smoke to pass through the roof while
simultaneously smoking the meat that hangs from the ceiling of every Orc hut.
Passionate hunters will find many things to their liking in Nor Plat, everyone
else should hope one of the infrequent ice storms that come suddenly over the
land and transform it into a landscape of bizarre forms and figures.
Practices:
In Entruag, the largest settlement and the only one on the Numak a strange
festival called Walrus Wrestling can be witnessed at summer solstice. At
sunrise Orcs line the banks of the river and jump into the water as soon as the
first ray of the sun touches it. In the water they wrestle walrus bulls thrice
their size and try to pull them on dry land. Orcs come from all over the land
to be a part of this festival. They are cheered on by Kuan priests. The Orcs
believe that Kuan will grant them victory over the elves should they defeat a
walrus. This hasn't happened yet, but the festival still takes place every
year.
Notes
* Entruag, the largest settlement and the only one on the Numak
* The river Numak runs from north to south through the land
* There is only one God in Nor Plat: Kuan, the God of war
-----------------------------------------------
[TV4]
Dyr Lain
Geography and climate:
The island of Dyr Lain lies in the middle of the Jade Sea. It has often and
quite rightfully been described as paradise. Waves roll gently over white
beaches, colorful birds sing in trees that carry all kinds of fruit. The water
of the many small rivers is so clear that it is almost invisible if one is more
than a few steps away, and the dark blue surfaces of the lakes and ponds
sparkle in the sunlight. The climate is generally pleasant and slightly humid.
There is a short rainy season in spring and a longer one in the fall.
Inhabitants:
The Dryads are descendants of the ancient Elves of the south, but have long
since developed their own distinct and independent culture. They live as one
with nature. Their settlements consist of tree houses, their gardens are
renowned in all of Ancaria. Especially the citizens of Thylysium value the
sweet fruits that grow there and are willing to pay quite extraordinary prices
for them. The Dryads don't care about money. They only grow as much as seems
appropriate to them.
For a very long time the Dryads lived alone on their island, shying away from
contact with the outside world. But after monsters started attacking them, they
allowed a few Elves to build a settlement called Aerendyr in the south of the
island. They have come to regret this decision because Aerendyr seems to poison
the whole island. Maybe this experience is responsible for the reserved manner
with which the Dryads approach strangers. They welcome them to their villages,
but engaging a Dryad in a conversation beyond a simple greeting is quite
difficult. One can only get to know them better by sharing their belief in
Kybele, Goddess of nature and by helping them take care of the fauna and flora
of the island. Travelers who have sufficient time should not miss this
opportunity as the Dryads have a lot to say. Their wisdom will come as a
surprise to those who dismiss them as "plant whisperers" and "fruit huggers".
Places to see:
There are no places to see on Dyr-Lain, the whole island is worth seeing. One
can spend weeks admiring the beauty of the many gardens and the gracefulness of
the animals that inhabit them. A visit to the capital Dyr-Laigh is a must. No
other place in Ancaria shows such a perfect harmony between nature and
architectural artistry. There are no sharp comers in this city, no straight
lines, no right angles. Everything is smooth and rounded and the colors of the
building and even those of the Dryads' clothing is reflected in the surrounding
plants. Dyr-Laigh is a fascinating city, unfortunately the night life leaves a
lot to be desired.
Practices:
It is customary to plant the stones from fruits one has eaten and to take care
of the plants that grow from them. Visitors are expected to give these stones
to Dryads, so that they can take care of them instead.
Recommendations:
It is considered extremely rude to cut off a woman in mid sentence. Some people
claim that Dyr-Lain is the chattiest place in all of Ancaria.
Notes
* Dyr Lain lies in the middle of the Jade Sea
* Elves settlement called Aerendyr in the south of the island
* Belief in Kybele, Goddess of nature
* Capital is Dyr-Laigh.
* Dryads are descendants of the ancient Elves

[TV5]
Bengaresh
Geography and climate:
Bengaresh is a surreal land. It is covered by huge sand and gravel deserts that
seem endless in the oppressive, shimmering heat. The eye welcomes the rare
sight of a small oasis in this monotonous landscape. At the coast one may find
rock formations that the sand has shaped into smooth forms resembling animals
or demons. The natives tend to avoid these formations. Upcountry it is silent.
There is no wind, and the air burns like fire in one's throat. At night the
heat turns into a bitter cold only familiar to those who have spent time in the
land of the Orcs. Sometimes sandstorms strong enough to rip the flesh from
one's bones sweep across the desert. At the coast the constant breeze causes an
itching layer of salt and sand on the traveler's skin. It never rains.
Inhabitants:
Only a few beings are dumb enough or proud enough to challenge the desert. No
one knows why the descendants of Elves are among them. They roam the land as
nomads, traveling from one oasis to the next and live off goat meat, dates,
cacti, and milk. With Elf merchants who come on ships they trade gems and salt
from the mountains and get food, clothing and weapons in return. The desert
tribes are no seamen and tend to remain near the coast when they go fishing in
their longboats. They almost never stay at sea during the night. The tough
desert life has changed the Elves' appearance over the long centuries. Most are
thin, with dark leathery skin. Their eyes are slitted as if from staring too
long at the sun. In contrast to their ancestors they only pray to one God:
Testa, the God of science. Every tribe follows their own interpretation of the
holy scriptures. During large gatherings this can lead to heated theological
debates, but these rarely turn violent.
Strangers are welcome in Bengaresh and are usually greeted with calm
friendliness. The desert tribes are always helpful, but never brash. Behind the
black scarves that protect their faces from the sun and the sand hides a dry
sense of humor that has surprised many travelers. Maybe this is the result of
the constant struggle against a land that seems set on killing all life on it.
Whatever the reason, a sense of humor is more than welcome around the camp
fires of the tribes.
Places of interest:
Khorum, the capital of Bengaresh lies in the center of the land, at the
hottest, driest, and most silent place in Ancaria. It lies on a hill and is
surrounded by rocks and sand. The walls are made from yellow stones that blend
in with the desert and seem to almost disappear in the shimmering heat. These
walls have protected its inhabitants from sand people attacks for centuries.
Practices:
Most practices in Bengaresh are connected to water. Drinking from the well of
another tribe is an offense punishable by death. Spitting is considered rude.
Spilling water is considered bad luck, spotting a cloud brings happiness. Every
meal is prepared with either milk or oil, only the strong tea made from cactus
blossoms is cooked with water.
Recommendations:
Travelers who despite the climate wish to visit Bengaresh should do so during
the Great Gathering when all the tribes meet in Khorum for the year's weddings.
The festival only ends when the last couples have been wed by a priest. This
can take days, sometimes even weeks. To pass the time more quickly many turn to
chewing desert weed. Officially, this practice is forbidden, but during the
Great Gathering no one cares.
Notes
* Bengaresh, desert of Ancaria
* One God, Testa, the God of Science
* Khorum, capital of Bengaresh, lies in the center of the land
--------------------------Interesting Facts About Arcania
[FT1]
Dwarves
Do they really exist?
For centuries, reports and legends about the race of the Dwarves have existed
all over the world. Countless stories songs, poems and make-believe 'facts'
have been told and written about this race. However, the race of the Dwarves
appears to be like a deep-water monster that rears its ugly head only once
every few years. Nobody truly believes in it - but what if it were true after
all? So everyone travels to that location and buys mugs with an image of the
monster, uses those mugs as presents for relatives and they end up gathering
dust on the shelf. Still, do they really exist, those Dwarves? Or are they
indeed simply a myth - created in order to scare little children, conjured as
creepy stories by the campfires? In this book i will attempt to solve this
puzzle - I will uncover the rumors and name faces and certainties.
Origins, Initial References
Two historic sources allegedly prove the existence of Dwarves. Both are of the
same age and derive from the same regions:
First, the "Hailstone Songs" - a collection of ancient texts and poems, dated
back to the year 1500 (Old time) by archaeologists. Very few pages still exist,
and one of them features a song with the words:
Little man, long beard and hammer,
Whacking iron with a slammer.
Wearing coat and helm from chains,
Eating well 'til none remains.
Belly's bulging, nose is knobbly,
Drinking stout that makes him wobbly.
This song - as well as the entire book - was written in Old-Eruthrean. Thus,
numerous varying interpretations and translations of this text exist. Many
historians have expressed doubts about the accuracy of the translation;
however, they have failed to offer convincing alternatives. Therefore, this
fragment is regarded as the initial reference to Dwarves. Still, even if the
translation were correct, it would not necessarily mean that the described
person was indeed a Dwarf. Visit any village inn throughout the Human
territories and you will find dozens of people matching this very description.
The discovery of the "Hailstone Skydisk" in 242 (New Time) added fuel to the
fire of the Dwarf-theory supporters. This strange arcane artifact consists of
copper and brass rivets and it puzzled researchers for years. Finally, the
historian and scholar DeNiken discovered that you have to connect those rivets
in a certain order, which revealed this picture:
This revelation was a scientific sensation. Even the most passionate critics of
the Dwarf-theory had to admit that the Hailstone Skydisk was yet another
indication for the existence of Dwarves in the region.
Popular Belief and Legends
"Eat your food, it ain't so tough,
or Dwarves will grab you by your scruff"
--- Nursery rhyme, traditional
Many myths, legends, ideas and theories about Dwarves are floating around. The
fact that nobody has ever seen a Dwarf does not convince anyone that they do
not exist. Quite the contrary - the common people regard Dwarves as even more
mysterious due to that fact. There are many legends about Dwarves entering
houses of Humans at night and cleaning them (the houses, not the Humans) while
consuming enormous amounts of beer and singing merry songs. Elsewhere, stories
are told about an obscure Dwarven cult taking in exiled aristocratic ladies and
nursing them. Additionally, the myth "Dwarves" was widely used as a sanctioning
tool for children's education: In the northern regions a terrible threat was
issued to children that they would be cooked and eaten by Dwarves if they did
not behave. A much less sinister approach in the southern regions offers the
vision that Dwarves come to pick up baby teeth once they have fallen out, and
turn them into diamonds.
Dwarven technology is yet another endless field for vivid imaginations.
Supposedly, Dwarves are able to build extremely complex machines. The
technological and mechanical capabilities of this race are allegedly very far
advanced, and even enable them to build flying devices! There claims prove yet
again the absurdity of the stories about Dwarves that are told among the common
people.
Another skill associated with Dwarves is the art of blacksmithing. According to
common belief, Dwarven steel is supposed to be the hardest and most sturdy
material known to mankind. Swords forged at Dwarven anvils, ornate with runes
and other magic signs, are apparently the ultimate weapons in the hand of any
warrior; there are even claims that they are superior to High Eleven blades.
Approximately 250 years ago, strange circles appeared in the corn fields around
Urthak's Moxie. Rumors were spread at the time that the circles were the result
of Dwarves having gotten lost in the fields during nights when they were drunk.
More reputable researchers are adamant that the Dwarves did in face exist but
they are extinct. A possible reason for this extinction could be the impact of
a huge meteorite, which caused the Dwarven mines to collapse. Others assume
that a change of climate and the resulting shortness of food resources could be
responsible for the extinction of the Dwarves. Finding a reason for an entire
race to have apparently dissolved into thin air seems to be even more
challenging to scientists than answering the question of whether this race did
exist or not.
Do Dwarves exist?
During all my years of research and studies I have never encountered a single
solid proof that the Dwarves really existed. All traces and findings such as
the bone samples of Urthak turned out to be forgeries of misinterpretations.
Even studying ancient history books did not facilitate a final judgement.
Therefore, my approach to this theory is still skeptical. If the Dwarves
existed, where would they be! How could they conceal their existence from the
world, where are they hiding? Do mines and tunnels exist which are deep and
long enough to hide an entire race of people?
Frequently, sightings of Dwarves are reported. However, upon further
investigation you will find that usually the probability of such a sighting is
closely connected to the amount of alcohol imbibed by the reporter, which does
not render there statements very believable. Can you trust these sources?
Personally, I highly doubt it.
It remains difficult to prove the existence of a race that has never existed...

The Winning Gambler
By Husganson the Elder
They say you only need three things to win the game:
* A good knowledge of the rules
* A clear head
* Luck
But who wants to rely on unpredictable things such as luck when the table�s
bending under the sheer weight of the gold and the moneylender already sent
his thugs after you? Isn�t it more intelligent to have some advantages like
knowing which cards your opponents have in their hands?
The successful (or desperate) gamer should buy certain skills and items, if
these arguments sound reasonable to them. One thing that�s helpful, especially
when playing cards, is to wear clothes with wide sleeves where you can hide
some cards occasionally to improve a lousy hand later on. Take heed that you
don�t slip and play a fifth ace or similar nonsense that will get you caught!
For these occasions it�s helpful to have a swift horse, never be a miser when
it comes to your mount. As the formerly great gamer Jonah No-Finger once said:
"If I had paid attention to this simple wisdom I wouldn�t need another person
to scratch my nose now."
Players should start with smaller games in villages, and act na�ve. It�s also
advisable to lose the first rounds. Occasionally ask about the rules or do some
awkward shuffling to give the impression of being less skilled than you are. If
you should by chance win a round you should be generous. Buy a strong wine for
everyone and your opponents will be more careless in the future, just don�t
drink it yourself.
In these circles every player can train their finger nimbleness. They should
find out what kind of cards and dice are common in the areas they plan to
travel, and they should buy a large supply of them. About half of them should
remain untouched so they can be checked if anyone gets suspicious. Then you
mark the rest of the cards with tiny symbols on their backs. Try to buy cards
with an especially patterned backside, as they are commonly used in the
southern provinces and marks aren�t as noticeable in the pattern. You should
make the symbols as inconspicuous as possible, but they shouldn�t be too small
either - you don�t want to stand out by making strange movements with your eyes
or your head. A good rule of thumb for this is: If you can�t distinguish a
horse form a bucket when you�re twenty feet away then you shouldn�t try to mark
your cards.
These players shouldn�t despair, because they can always make their own luck in
a nice game of dice instead. The marking of dice was reserved for the
carpenter�s guild for a long time, but since their secret was unraveled you
don�t have to pay them large amounts for this service anymore. You just drill
into the points on the side opposite the one you�re interested in, fill the
hole with lead and paint the points above it again. Be careful because even in
the country it�s common to exchange the dice before playing, or to pass them in
circles on one tip to find out if they have been manipulated. Nimble-fingered
players should keep their dice in the the wide sleeves of their clothing and
exchange them for normal ones after every round. Players whose fingers aren�t
nimble enough should lay the dice aside and take up the plow instead. They�ll
live much longer there than if they played in the taverns.
When you�re able to cheat some farmers out of harvest and home you should move
on to the next city. Before you do this you should think about looking for the
right partner to distribute the winnings in a discreet manner. It won�t be
necessary to emphasize that this decision shouldn�t be made lightly. You should
always expect the worst from the others, as they certainly expect the worst
from you.
Last but not least we should talk about the opponents you should pay attention
to while undertaking this profession. Beware of the ones who dress and act like
you, they�re probably up to the same thing. Then there are the members of the
so called brotherhood of honorable gamers, a society that is fanatically
dedicated to the purity of gambling. You can identify them through their stern
faces and through their habit of praying over their cards and dice. If you are
unlucky enough to meet them, it is advisable to make a lively retreat and to
rely on your already mentioned fast mount. If you want to know more about them,
just pay Jonah No-Finger a visit.

How to Beguile Aristocrats
Princesses
"Your eyes are like the stars in the night" or "How to beguile noble women"
Not every man who grows up with pigs and chickens plans to stay there for the
rest of his life, and many a farmer�s son has stood yearningly in front of a
palace or a castle. These places are reserved for the people of Ancaria who
became powerful and rich through the labor of others: the aristocrats.
How nice it would be to walk through the marble halls and to eat with golden
cutlery. But he only sees the nobles when they gallop past him on their horses,
raising dust for him to swallow. Luckily for the young farmer, and for everyone
who strives for more than he has, there are some tricks that can help you get
to know and to even fall in love with a noble woman.
1. To meet aristocrats
Of course you can�t meet a princess at the wine press as you would Martha, the
wine maker�s daughter. They mostly look for quiet and peaceful places where
their fathers can hunt and talk about politics while the girls listen to the
musicians and cause confusion among their house maidens. The potential suitor
has to keep in mind that the thing a young noble woman hates most isn�t the
shaking plague or the war but boredom. He must entertain her to win her heart.
In the beginning it�s enough to appear near her a few times while doing an
arduous job that she would never see a noble man doing - like chopping wood or
tending the fisher nets. The arduous nature of the work allows you to cool
yourself by removing the clothing from the upper part of your body- do it no
matter what the weather conditions are! It doesn�t hurt to oil you chest and
arms too.
Depending on how bored the girls is, it shouldn�t take longer than two
encounters until the noble woman addresses the suitor. Many men fear this
moment, but don�t worry, the situation isn�t that difficult to handle.
2. How to address a noble woman
First of all you should not greet her - wait until she speaks to you. Your
answer should be as short as possible, and it is advisable to refrain from
jokes, offensive remarks and too much information about yourself. The less she
knows, the more interesting you are to her. As a rule of thumb you can answer
everyone hundred words of hers with ten of your own. This may seem difficult,
but you�ll soon notice that your remarks are unnecessary as they are unwanted.
Noble women are used to having the attention and not to listening to other
people.
The first and of course secret meetings should take place at a small and
secluded location with a romantic atmosphere. A small lake with some trees, or
another similar place, to give her the impression that the simple people know
secrets she never imagined. But you have to keep her away from the simple
people at all costs! Marakus the swineherd maybe a good companion, but he
shouldn�t get to know your new friend. You should also deny her desire to meet
your parents. It�s recommended to say that you were found lying in a small
basked as a child, or that you were abandoned and raised by wolves.
3. How to get an invitation
Did you pass the inspection of the first meetings by showing no interest in her
way of life? Ignore every reference to her wealth, and then she will think
you�re not interested in mundane things and that you�d prefer to live in a
simple cottage in the woods. Sooner or later she�ll find it irresistible to
introduce her unpolished diamond to her friends (who she�ll see as quite
decadent by now). This would be the perfect moment for some compliments! Use
them sparingly and refer to natural things - but be wary of mistakes like
comparing her eyes to those of Better the cow.
If you follow this simple advice, the gates of the castle will be open for you
in no time, and you�ll never have to spend another night in the mosquito-ridden
forest behind the barn.

[FT4]
Princes
"Oh, my hero" or "How to beguile noble men"
Farmers, herders, farmhands - girls in the country don�t have much of a choice.
Perhaps they wouldn�t even notice if it wasn�t for those aristocrats in their
nice clothing with golden embroidery, riding their noble horses or taking their
women for a drive in their carriages. Every girl starts to dream of a better
life when she sees one of them in the distance while herding the goats, but
only a few try to realize their dream. For those who have made the decision to
flee their boring life in the country there are only three practicable things
they have to think about: Who? Where? How?
1. Who?
This question mostly depends on how far you are willing to go. If you are a
girl who doesn�t look like if the bull sat on your face there are several
possibilities: an old noble widower, a fat and unimposing one or a young and
good-looking fellow. They all have their advantages. The old aristocrat won�t
live much longer, but you shouldn�t underestimate the intrigues his descendants
will start to get rid of an unwanted rival for the expected inheritance. In
these circles people don�t think twice about hiring poisoners or skilled
assassins. The unimposing noble will certainly live longer, but he could turn
out to be the right choice and it�s also quite possible to meet him in the
tavern next door - but keep in mind that this man usually doesn�t have much in
the way of coins in his pocket. Of course you don�t long for riches, but for a
young aristocrat who will pour gifts upon you and whose sight you can stand the
whole day without having the impulse to close your eyes.
2. Where?
Most country girls know which taverns the nobles meet in before or after their
hunting trips, to drink and to boast of their deeds. At first glance this looks
like the perfect place for a meeting, but that�s not true: All girls who sit in
these taverns hope for the same, and all these nobles know that. They have the
free choice, which is not good if you think you�d be the right choice for that
man.
It�s much better to go into the forest where they are hunting and act as if
you�ve sprained your ankle. A feigned attack is also quite helpful to attract
the attention of the mercy of some nobles. The exact details of this made-up
situation depend on your fantasy and on your acting talents. The most important
thing is to look helpless, but not stupid. Should you be lucky enough to
descend from a simple, but intact family (that maybe even owns a little farm),
you should ask the noble to take you home on his horse. Aristocrats mostly
descend from families in which the sons kill each other to get the inheritance
for themselves. A friendly family and a house in which the knives just lay on
the table without being used for deadly deeds will soften the heart of most
nobles. If you live in a stable with the goats and the pigs by your side it�s
better to invent a stern father and to keep the noble away from your home.
3. How?
Simplicity, naivety and honesty - these are the three characteristics a noble
doesn�t see in the woman of his social circles. If you possess these traits, or
can even fake them convincingly, your journey into the castles shouldn�t take
very long. Don�t overplay it though, a noble with good intentions could come to
the opinion that it would be better to deny love because otherwise this
innocent and simple girl would have to endure the intrigues of the rich. You�ll
need some good instincts in this area. You should leave all praise to the noble
and you should blush when he compliments you. You can practice turning scarlet
in front of a mirror or a smooth water surface. It�s much easier than you
think. Once you�ve finally arrived at the castle you should be very careful:
When you are insulted (and you notice it) you should just smile, and if you�re
unsure if you just heard a rude remark you should just gently bend your head.
Always be nice to the housemaids and servants, because they know a lot more
than anybody else. Aristocracy is like a snake pit: Only snakes can survive
here - and the mongoose that jumps in briefly to catch what it wants.
Every girl should decide for herself if she wants to be a snake or a mongoose.

Orcish for Beginners
Preface
Congratulations on your purchase of this latest work in our "Lingua Ancaria"
series. The present volume is dedicated to Orcish and provides interested
readers with a lucid and comprehensive introduction to the Orcish language.
We would also like to draw your attention to our works for more advanced
learners "Orcish for Intermediate Learners - From Drinking Hall Anthems to
Marriage Proposals", and our course book for budding experts "Debating in
Orcish - The Concise Compendium of Insults and Curses." All of these works are
available at a well-stocked parchment and scroll merchant of your choice.
Our scribes are currently also preparing a new edition of the companion volume,
"The Complete Guide to Orcish Grammar" (5 pages - with a wealth of explanatory
pictures and plenty of room for notes) which is to be published next Garon.
Let�s get started!
The history of Orcish languages spans thousands of years. Like most languages,
Orcish is distinguished by an abundance of dialects and local variants. This
myriad of local variations presents an almost insurmountable challenge to even
the most learned of experts in the field of Orcish linguistics. The only
attempt ever made by a non-Orcish scholar to describe and analyze all of the
Orcish dialects was undertaken nearly 2500 years ago by Master of Lingua
Thaddeus. Sadly, he failed to complete the mammoth task which so absorbed him
for 40 years. The deeper he delved into the labyrinthine complexities of
Orcish, the more firmly melancholy gripped his soul. Eventually, one morning,
Thaddeus was found dead in the attic of his house. In his despair, the Master
of Lingua had disemboweled himself and cut short a lifetime of erudite
scholarship. A note found at his lectern allegedly read: "I have no idea which
dialect this is, and I do not care! HUSH NOW! SILENCE! LEAVE ME IN PEACE! ALL
OF YOU!"
His life�s work, encompassing 350 handwritten manuscripts, was tragically
destroyed by the fire the following year.
The present volume is concerned solely with High Orcish, or, as it is otherwise
known, Classic Urguaz. This purest form of Orcish is spoken only seldom today,
although Orcs of all tribes and clans are familiar with it. Students will soon
learn to take great pleasure in the diversity of the Orcish language and will,
no doubt, revel in a range of novel and exciting linguistic possibilities.
Many of the sounds unique to Orcish result from the peculiarities of Orc
anatomy, and students are advised to use the false incisor teeth accompanying
this volume. (Alternatively, you can substitute corks for the false teeth)
False teeth are in indispensable aid for students who wish to pronounce Orcish
vocabulary correctly. And now, we with you all the best in your endeavors to
learn what is perhaps one of the most colorful and vivid languages of all
Ancaria! Or, as in Orc would say: Hataz Dura!
I. Getting to know Gragash
This is Gragash! He will accompany you on your way through this book. Say
�Hello� to our Orcish friend!
You say:
Hello, Gragash! How do you do?
In Orcish we say:
Artak Gragash, etok?
Gragash answers:
Tirtak! Naturok?
(I�m good! And you?)
Let�s take a closer look at some of the unique features of the Orcish language:
The -k at the end of "artak" is a hard, unvoiced -k. However, the -k in the
interrogative word -etok- is much softer and guttural - a combination of -ch
and -g.
Note:Greetings are an extremely complex matter in the Orcish culture. Precise
rules exist on how to greet your counterpart; age, status and the intended
purpose of the conversation are all important factors. Any digression from
these rules may be interpreted as a sign of weakness, provocation or insult.
At this stage, students are advised to dispense with the use of standard Orcish
greetings. Occasionally, some Orcs may take offense at this practice but
learners will usually be able to avoid any violent confrontation by clearly
evincing their ignorance of the Orcish language and customs.
Now that we have successfully greeted Gragash, let�s continue our conversation.
You say:
Do you want to eat some chickens with me?
And now in Orcish:
Nghuash su kruag topa ni?
Gragash answers:
Larguok tasniz ni egul!
(I have to do something else, unfortunately!)
There are only two personal pronouns in Orcish grammar:
I = ni
Not-I = su
In some cases the personal pronoun -su- can be substituted or complemented with
a more precise description as necessary. In order to make a statement more
ambiguous, well versed orators may choose to dispense with such nuances.
Note:We recommend that students eager to test their master of Orcish do not
attempt to inflect personal pronouns - conversation partners may take violent
exception to any unnecessary or incorrect references. Learners may,
consequently, find themselves maimed or dismembered.

Hunting
Hunting is one of the noblest jobs in Ancaria. You'll face nature alone, you'll
fight against the wildest creatures and you'll carry their carcasses to the
village to eat their flesh. It has always been this way, and it will always be
the same.
A little help is always welcome though, because there are few things more
embarrassing than coming home to your village after a long hunt with only a
squirrel or - even worse - nothing at all.
The most important things for a successful hunt are the right clothing and the
suitable equipment. The hunter who dares to enter the forest clad in colorful
clothing better suited for a clown and armed only with a kitchen knife should
expect to be attacked by a baffled bear, not to return to their village with
prey for dinner. In the forest it's a best to wear clothes of colors that match
and blend with the trees, which means green and brown tints. If you're not sure
if your clothing is suitable you should ask a woman, they're usually more
experienced with these things.
It's also important not to wash yourself with soap and not to use fragrances as
a perfume. All deer know that other deer don't smell like rosewater. It's best
to wash yourself with only plain water.
As soon as you are clad accordingly you have to choose the right weapons. You
should concentrate on ranged weapons, there are very few hunters skilled enough
to stealthily get close enough to a wild animal to be able to use a blade
against it. When hunting animals like bears or wolves it's generally best not
to attack them at close-range, unless you're forced to because the bear/wolf
got aggressive after smelling your rosewater.
In addition to your primary ranged weapon, you should also always carry a
knife, and in a way that you can't fall onto it. In the dense forest arrows and
a bow are good ranged weapons, but crossbows aren't bad either because they can
pack quite a punch. For a slingshot you need a lot of space in front of and
behind you, therefore you should only use them in the light forest, on the
grassland and in the mountains. For the latter they are especially useful as
you can find your ammunition there and don't have to take it with you. A bag
full of stones can get very heavy in the long run. Spears are good for clear
ares too, but they're somewhat unmanageable. Throwing knives are a good choice
when hunting small prey even though it's not easy to hit them, but bigger
animals aren't wounded much by these weapons. It can get quite expensive to
replace knives if the wounded bear or deer runs away with your knife stuck in
its body. Many hunters wonder if it's useful to poison the blade of their knife
or the tips of their arrows so that even small wounds can be fatal. These
hunters should keep in mind that the cemeteries are full of hunters who touched
their blades with their own fingers, and that there are a lot of stories in the
taverns about what happened to families who thought it would be a good idea to
eat the flesh of a poisoned animal.
If you enter a forest armed with a bow and arrows, it's best to look for a
watering place with lots of tracks around it. If you don't know which animal
leaves which tracks, you should bear in mind the following: If it has hooves
you can hunt it, if it has paws it will hunt you. If you manage to find a
watering place with tracks of desirable prey, you can make yourself comfortable
here. Consider the wind direction when you choose the place you will wait. It's
best to stand where the wind will not blow your scent, with or without
rosewater, in the direction you expect your prey to come from. It can take
hours for an animal to appear at the watering place. When it comes into view
it's important to stay calm and to take shallow breaths. The bow can be handled
almost silently, but all animals that have escaped from an arrow once know the
sound of a bowstring. If everything goes as planned the deer or stag will go
down then the first arrow hits, but if it doesn't you should show mercy by
tracking and killing it fast. When you have successfully taken your prey, be
sure to cover its wounds with mud or bandages. You'll have to convey it back
through the forest, and the smell of the blood could attract bears and wolves.
If bears or wolves are your prey, you can disregard this caution but it's
always advisable to take some companions with you on these hunts.
If you heed all these tips you'll be able to come back to your village burdened
with prey and more importantly, alive to entertain (or bore) the farmers in the
tavern with tales of your hunting trips.
---------------------------------------------------
[FT7]
Fishing
How can I catch a fish? That�s the question every boy and girl asks when they
see the glittering scales in the village pond. A fishing rod with a hook can be
built in no time, but the bait is the first obstacle you have to overcome.
Will the hook alone be enough, or will it work better if you attach a worm or
a bloody piece of meat to it? The latter is indeed suitable for fishing
sometimes, but you rarely find fish that are attracted by blood in a village
pond. If you find it helpful in your village�s pond, you should tell someone
that the pond isn�t safe for swimming anymore!
The basic requirements are simply something that covers the hook and moves in
the water. Some fish eat plants, others mosquitoes and some even eat smaller
fish or crab. With a little patience and some training you�ll soon learn which
kinds of fish like what kind of bait, and what kind of water you�re likely to
find certain kinds of fish in. You�ll also figure out which is the right moment
to give the rod a tug, so the hook pierces the fish�s mouth allowing you to
pull it in rather than gets pulled out of it. You�ll also notice that most of
the people you started your fishing adventure with will soon get bored, and
begin to herd goats or watch the tanner at work instead. If you find yourself
enjoying being alone in a boat in the middle of the pond, making the bait out
of feathers and small stones, you should seriously consider fishing as a
profession.
There are many large and small fishing guilds in Ancaria. They�ve divided the
fisheries along the seashores and in the huge lakes among themselves. Guild
members show that they belong to a special guild and that they are allowed to
fish in a certain lake or part of the sea by wearing specific colors. At
especially desirable fisheries, like the ones near cities, there are often
fights between competing guilds. Sometimes you can even witness a siege by
hostile fleets. When the fighting subsides and the fishing is occurring it�s
mostly accomplished with nets. The nets are thrown out from boats, or are bow
nets. You can learn how to use them easily enough, but it takes much longer to
find out where the good fisheries are located and which fish to catch there.
An apprentice being trained by seasoned fisher shouldn�t need much more than
one year to learn which areas their guild can fish, how to read the weather and
to learn the basics of seamanship.
On rivers and lakes most fishers reject and distrust each other, but at sea
they share the camaraderie of soldiers who have to face a common enemy every
single day. Especially those who fish the Jade sea, with its numerous shallows
and sudden unpredictable changes in the weather. Every fisher knows that one
day it could be the boat of another fisher that saves their lives.
But then there are the ones who are respected by all fishers from the lakes,
rivers, shores and oceans alike: the master fishers of Ancaria! They don�t
belong to a guild, they won�t ever fight and they wear white scarfs to show
their independence. Only other master fishers are allowed to train them. You
call for them when you have to catch enormous fish, the ones that will tear
apart each and every net and are able to shatter the boats with one single whip
of their fins. Only armed with a harpoon will the master fishers fight them.
They lead a very dangerous life, but they know that they are the best of the
best. Becoming one of them is the dream of every fisher who sits in his boat
in the middle of the pond.
-------------------------------------------
[FT8]
The Art of Trapping
Hunting is said to be noble and refined, but anyone who has spent days in a
rainy forest only to return to their village wet, ill and without any prey
knows that it's not always accurate. Why should you endure the dangers and the
boredom if you can make use of traps made of shroud-spider-silk and sharpened
logs?
Of course many hunters eventually have the idea to set up traps to make the
whole hunting business a little easier, but if they were all successful it
wouldn't be possible to take a step into the forest without falling into a pit
full of spears or getting caught in a sling and dangling from a tree by your
feet. Luckily the art of trapping is complicated. The secrets of this
profession are taught in the trapper's guild but it's very selective and there
are difficult entrance examinations, for example you'll have to catch a Dryad
monitor lizard or a similar unpleasant animal alive. If that doesn't frighten
you, just ask the furriers or the people in the taverns about the members of
this guild. You can find it in almost every city and near the profitable
hunting areas.
If you pass the entrance examination you will begin your training. Training can
last up to seven years, depending on your skill and your thirst for knowledge.
Nobody knows exactly what they teach, but according to rumors you only practice
binding and placing slings in the first year. Squirrels and rabbits are mostly
caught this way. Afterwards you practice how to hunt with nets, which are hung
in trees and activated with a mechanism on the ground. With nets and with
slings you are able to catch living animals. Apprentices allegedly have to kill
all animals that get hurt in those traps, and set the rest free.
After this skill is mastered, the apprentice moves on to the deadly traps. Pits
full of sharpened logs are quite laborious, but with them the trapper is able
to kill larger animals which they could otherwise only hunt in groups or at
great danger to themselves. The most important part of this trap is the
material the pit is covered with. It has to be cleverly disguised and look
robust enough to fool the animal, but it can't be too solid so it will burst
when the animals walks over it. A perfect cover collapses at the moment the
animal reaches the middle of the pit, too soon or too late gives the animal the
chance of reaching solid ground instead of falling. Good trappers build those
covers with such precision that a whole herd of deer can pass by and it only
collapses when the first stag steps on it.
It's obvious that these traps can't be built in most areas. In populated places
it's strictly forbidden, as is the setting up of so called spear throwers -
wooden gates with spears that quickly come out of the ground or a tree. When
hunting predators these traps are quite common though, so most hunters stay
near these traps to warn unsuspecting people who may be passing in the area.
But of course there are also hunters who prefer to spend their days at the
tavern and to trust the mercy of the Gods. If you should happen to meet one of
these trappers, it would be advisable to not take the shorter way through the
forest...

Temples of the Gods
This section tells where all 20 of the Temples of the Gods are- this is useful
for getting the Polytheism achievement. Note that the temples in the major
cities must be explored (i.e. you have to go there and see "Temple of the Gods"
appear on your screen), even though they are revealed automatically.
Tyr Lysia
* Near Sloeford, quite hard to miss
* One in Thylysia, in the northeast part. Make sure you visit it
* Northwestern Tyr Lysia, follow a main road to this one. Southeast of Noriath
* Southeast of Thylysia, in the Sea of Heavens.
* Directly northwest of Libi's pratfall. You'll have to take stairs down
Bengaresh
* North-east of Tharum in the mountains. Quite tricky to get to. Look for a
cave northeast of tharum, and hug the mountaintops heading east. The hidden
path to the temple is right by a green tree, a relative rarity.
* The capital city of Khorum has one
Jungle
* Make your way east directly after coming into the region. You're looking on
the map for a large ridge, the temple is on top of this.
Artamark
* In the undiscovered map, this looks like a spiral hill east of Grunwald
forest. It must be approached from the south
* The southeast of Artamark has a patch of forest which looks solid but can
be traveled through. Bloodclaw, a werewolf boss, will be guarding this
one.
* The main city, Griffinbourough, has one.
Nor Plat
* The "main" city, Tharak, has one to the southwest.
* The far south of the region has some caves, one of which leads to Gronkor's
Outlook. This place also holds a Temple
Seraphyria
* Easy to get to, a bridge on the north of the island leads to it
* The Isle of mounts has one. You will have to finish the epic mounts quest
to get here.
Swamp
* Hug the southern mountains of the swamp due south of Hissil'Ta to find one
* There is one along the west coast north of Sar'Thaz. The Nefarious Prince
guards this.
Dyr-Lain
* South of Dyr Laigh, move into the valley between the mountains. Move west
along the north of the valley, hugging the top. Eventually you will be
able to move north along a hidden path. This leads you to the temple.
* The hardest one to find is here too. You will have to be engaged in the
Halls of the Ancestors quest arc, exploring the west wing. While here you
will exit into "the gardens". It looks like it's outside but it's still in
the dungeon. There is a temple here, but it won't show up on your map
Wastelands
* Teleport to the final resurrection monolith before the great machine. From
there head south along the narrow corridor. Continue all the way south
until you see what looks like a dead end with a pillar by it. Go around the
left side of the pillar and you can continue on. This leads to the temple.
===============================================================================
[BOS]
Boss Locations
This is a listing of the big, mean style bosses. I have defined a "boss"
monster as one that has a health bar and changed the camera angle when you
fight it. They all have higher health and are much angrier in general than
your average monster.
An *M* means the boss is encountered as part of the main quest
An *S* means the boss is encountered as part of a side quest
An *R* means the boss is encountered at any time by wandering into its space
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyr Lysia
*S* Troll - Kobold Camp northwest of Tyr Lysia
*S* Gahanka (Troll) - Kobold Camp northwest of Tyr Lysia

Batteries

batteries. Make sure and keep the best one you find equipped, because they
govern how tough your blaster arm is!
===============================================================================
[Horses]
[HRS]
Horses/Mounts
This section includes basic information about the various means of
transportation available to heroes in Arcania. The earliest mount you can get
is a horse, available at any town with a stables. Look carefully at a horse
before buying it- different horses will have different stats and different
levels. While the needs of each hero are unique for mounts, I would recommend
that you purchase a horse with the leaping ability- this allows you to quickly
bypass difficult terrain, and can actually save a lot of time- jumping over
small fences instead of going all the way around them for instance.
Special mounts are a different category altogether. They are particular to the
class that you choose. Special mounts must be accessed by going to the Orcish
Byway, a town in Artamark, and finding the archaeologist's sister. For more
information on this quest, see quest 363 in the quests section.
SPECIAL MOUNT ABILITIES:
Temple Guardian- Mobiculum: The mobiculum is a wheel that you ride inside, and
has the special ability that a temple guardian can continue to use all of his
battle techniques while riding it. Jumping is done by activating the propelled
levitation battle technique.
===============================================================================

Combinations
Two sklls can be combined so that they will be executed together. Below will
be listed particularly effective combinations for each character

Temple Guardian. It's ok)
