DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different
Your path on this quest depends on your race, talk you your trainer for details.
Your trainer talks about "treasure of the past" and then asks if you will
research information about the Moonstone. You are told to talk to Maeve. Maeve (a firbolg known better as Maeve the Crone) lives in a hut a little way past Ardee. When you get to the town (from Mag Mell) go a little to the right and follow along near the base of the hills till you see a hut by the river near some mudmen houses. Maeve is inside the hut, and usually the mudmen are neutral so you can talk to her. She wants you to collect some items for her.
Maeve the crone says, "What brings you out this far? Shouldn't you be training at your Master's knee child? Or do you think to connive [knowledge] out of me?
Maeve the crone says, "Aye. I thought so. Well, an old woman like me can't survive long on her own, being to old to practice the trade of my youth. Knowledge is my only trade now. The price is four rat tails."
[Step #2]Kill four rat boys and bring their tails to Maeve for information
on Caithor.
[Step#3]Kill three more rat boys.
[Step#4]Kill two more rat boys.
[Step#5]Kill one more rat boy.
[Step#6]Return to Maeve with rat tails. She knows about Caithor.
Return the items, and she gives you a choice of several topics, but you can only choose one!
[Step#7] Give Maeve the tails.
Maeve, the crone says, "Have you the rat tails?"
You give Maeve the crone a rat tail.
Maeve the crone says, "I need three more. Stay away from the ruins of the
Tower of Tir na mBeo. Its a place of powerful enchantment."
You give Maeve the crone a rat tail.
Maeve the crone says, "Two more ought to do it. Remember Eadienn, Fagan
is Lord over Mag Mell, but the town's concerns arn't his. Some say he's the
same Fagan of Fagan's feast."
You give Maeve the crone a rat tail.
Maeve the crone says, "One more, and I'll tell you what I know."
You give Maeve the crone a rat tail.
Maeve the crone says, "Yes, this will do. I shall tell you one more thing
only. Which would you hear of, [Caithor], [Duana and Edan] or [the Moonstone]?"
*Caithor:
Maeve the crone says, "Caithor is the Champion responsible for the enchantment placed on Edan. Duana, in retribution, placed her own enchantment on Caithor. For every hundred years that passes in the land of men, only a day passes for Caithor. He wanders the land, seeking out a child of Duana and Edan destined to retrieve the Moonstone. This will break the enchanetment Duana placed on him. Some say he seeks Fagan's death as well.
*the Moonstone:
Maeve, the crone says,"Ah, the Moonstone. It's a stone wielded by an
Enchanter, and the only thing that can break the enchantment placed on Duana
and Edan. It is here, in these lands. But none know where."
*Duana and Edan
Maeve, the crone says,"Duana and Edan are the hounds that roam the ground of the ruined Tower of Tir na mBeo. In a time only the elders remember, Fagan held a feast, Edan asked for Duana. Against Fagan's wishes, she said yes. Fagan was enraged, but his geas strickly forbid him from killing the son of a man he had killed. He had his Champion find a way to remove Edan without killing him. Caithor challenged the bard Edan for Duana knowinf Edan would easily die on his blade. To prevent his death and Fagan breaking his geas, he made an ointment and rubbed it on his sword. The first strike hit Edan, and slowly, he was changed into a hound."
