Dialog from quest:
Talk to Sentry Maros at loc=49049,20558,11271 dir=217 Veil Rift.

Sentry Maros says, "Greetings, Celt. Activities in the Veil Rift have become increasingly disturbing as of late. These activities have raised the suspicion of both the Shar Queen and the Hibernian [forces]."

Sentry Maros says, "It started out with Prince Yraellyn being released from his protective shielld in which he was trapped by the Elves. He was trapped in a type of suspended existence until some foolish soul went charging along and released him in error. If only I could get my hands on that foolish being...Prince Yraellyn being out and about in the Veil Rift is bad [indeed]."

Sentry Maros says, "I partially blame the Elves and Lurikeen as well, with their frivolous nature. If they had just destroyed the Prince we would not have this problem. The Elves were too ashamed to slay him, as the entire Dark Elf creation was the result of the Elves and Lurikeens trying to move Marrach Briollag into the [Veil]."

Sentry Maros says, "The activity of the Dark Elves has increased, and we believe it is due to Prince Yraellyn's presence in the Veil Rift. We cannot prove this though, and the Shar Queen must see evidence before she will commit any time or forces to this matter. Would you be willing to discover the real reason for the increased Dark Elf activity and find us proof of the Prince's increased presence? I must warn you Celt, this duty will be perilous and will not be without bloodshed. Can you [stand] up to this duty?"

Will you assist Sentry Maros? [Level 8]
You have been given the Dark Threat quest.


[Step #1] Speak with Sentry Maros about the dark elves.

Sentry Maros says, "Thank you for accepting this duty. You have the thanks of the Shar Queen. With the right evidence she will be most ready to be rid of the Dark Elf presence here in the Veil Rift. This place and the Otherworld are really the [dominion] of the Shar."

Sentry Maros says, "Our Goddess, the Morrighan, led us to our home. It was given to us by the Morrighan therefore we cherish it. Upon passing into the Veil, we searched for our home and found it in the Otherworld. There were intense storms of magic though, and our Shar Queen realized that we needed [protection]."

Sentry Maros says, "Being creatures of magic ourselves, our kind thrived in this realm. We used our abilities and skills to construct our magnificent Shar Labyrinth. It was not long before the Elves and Lurikeens discovered our [city]."

Sentry Maros says, "They were too busy establishing their own cities in the Veil to notice us at first. Our presence was revealed, but the Elves were not pleased with our presence beyond the Veil. We managed to settle into an uneasy peace. They distanced themselves from us and over time the Elves forgot about us. This place has been our home ever since, and that is why we [must] protect it."

Sentry Maros says, "The Dark Elves were always aware of our movement beyond the Veil, and they have watched our movements along with that of the Elves and Lurikeens. I sense that they are plotting something evil that could be most distressing for all of the [magical] races of the Veil."

Sentry Maros says, "Not only has Prince Yraellyn been released into the Veil Rift, but reports have started coming in that say a Gargoyle Herald has been seen traversing the Veil Rift. I have heard separate reports of a Dark Elf Agent lurking around the same area. I believe that they are both conducting business on [behalf] of Prince Yraellyn."

Sentry Maros says, "It is up to you to find out just what this business is. You will need to travel into the Veil Rift and find the Gargoyle herald and the Dark Elf Agent. The Gargoyle Herald has been seen making a drop off of what looks to be scrolls to the Dark Elf Agent. He has been seen to the west-northwest past here. Pass three bridges and search the Veil ruins. Slay the Dark Elf Agent to obtain the scrolls Herald gives to him. That way the Herald can return to Marrach Briollag and the Royal Dark Elf Family will not be aware of our [movements] immediately."

Sentry Maros says, "The scrolls will need to be translated and I cannot do that. Please deliver them to Talal on the bridge past the large cavern near the ruins. He is one of sages and will be able to decipher the text. I will send word ahead for him to expect you and to [reward] you."

Sentry Maros says, "Be off now on this mission, Hero. This is an important mission for the Shar Forces, and you must do your best to help us. May the Goddess guide you in this duty."

[Step #2] Find and slay the Dark Elf Agent to find any intelligence regarding the Dark Elf activity. He has been seen to the west northwest past Sentry Maros. Pass three bridges and search the Veil ruins.
  • You'll find the Dark Elf Agent at loc=29412,24779,9983 dir=255, once there slay him and upon his death the Rioghail Sumain will appear in your inventory.


  • [Step #3] Seek out Talal in the large cavern in the Veil Rift. Follow the bridges to the large cavern. Talal will be past the top of the ramp out on the bridge. Speak with him.
  • Talal is at loc=23891,28295,13147 dir=319 Veil Rift.


  • Talal says, "Yes, Celt, what it is? I am very busy, so this had better be in regards to official Shar or Hibernian forces business."

    [Step #3] Give Talal the scroll of Rioghail Sumain.

    Talal says, "Ah yes, I have been expecting you to deliver this scroll to me. Let's see here...at the moment I can only translate the name of Prince Yraellyn and Royal Summons...hmm.. I will need to study this [quite] a bit more."

    [Step #3] Continue speaking with Talal to receive your reward.

    Talal says, "I will have a courier deliver my findings to Sentry Maros. Please take this bracer and money as a reward for your time. Blessings of the Goddess be upon you, Hero."

    You are awarded 7,650 experience!
    You receive the Rift Bracer from Talal!
    You are awarded 8 silver and some copper!
    You have completed the Dark Threat quest!


    Reward:
