Dialog: submitted by Baaboo

Haral says, "Greetings, Healer. Is this your first time to the [Underground Forest]?"

Haral says, "It is a strange place to one who has not seen it before. I remember the first time I stepped foot into this place. It was a sight like none I had ever seen before. I had seen these trees before, since they are scattered throughout the Frontlines, but to see a whole forest of them together. Why, it was amazing! Now I know how [Kolfinna] felt the first time she entered this cavern."

Haral says, "Oh, have you heard of Kolfinna before? She's the young Kobold that actually discovered this Underground Forest. Her mother, Astrior, had led a group of Kobolds down here to build their own city, since Astrior and Hallvaror, the leader of the Undercity, didn't get along very well. Well, Kolfinna was a restless Kobold and often went exploring. That's how she came to find this [vast cavern]."

Haral says, "At the time Kolfinna entered the cavern, she thought the Kobolds were the only ones there. I have been working with Ulorik, an advisor to Odagi, and Sordaya, one of Odagi's historians, and I have learned that Kolfinna quickly discovered that the Kobolds were [not alone] in this vast forest."

Haral says, "On one of her first far-reaching explorations of this land, Kolfinna and her group encountered a group of strangers. We know now that these strangers were the Shar, those vile creatures of Hibernia. Kolfinna and her group launched a few arrows at the group then fled in fear. But the Shar were not the only ones Kolfinna and her group were [to encounter] that day."

Haral says, "As they fled from the Shar, Kolfinna and the others encountered another group of strangers - the Inconnu. Again, in fear, they launched a few arrows then fled back to the safety of Nyttheim. These two encounters were only the beginning of their conflicts with the Shar and the Inconnu here in this forest. But what Kolfinna did not realize on the day she encountered those enemies, was that a [third enemy] watched her movements."

Haral says, "From the depths of the shadows, a race known as the Terracites watched not only the activities of the Kobolds that first day, but those of the Shar and the Inconnu as well. From the few bits of information I have retrieved from Nyttheim, it seems that the Terracites soon began [to terrorize] all three groups as they patrolled the Underground Forest."

Haral says, "I have found parts of reports given by Kobold spies of Terracite attacks on both the Shar and the Inconnu as well as on the Kobolds. I must say, I'm not surprised at the anger of the Terracites towards all three races. But now I wonder if the Terracites have put [their anger] towards the Shar and Inconnu aside."

Haral says, "We have noticed some changes in the behavior of the Shar, the Inconnu, and the Terracites and it has us worried. Since Sordaya is so busy, Ulorik has charged me with learning what I can about these changes. But the task [is too big] for one person, Healer."

Haral says, "Ulorik has authorized me to hire a person or two to help me with this research. I know for a fact that the reward you will receive for helping me will be worth the danger you face. What do you say, Healer? Are you up to [assisting a Kobold] with his research?"

"Will you help Haral learn more about the strange happenings in the Underground Forest?" [Level 37]
You have been given the A Pact Among Enemies? (Midgard) quest.


Haral says, "Thank you, Healer. Your help is greatly appreciated. I feel that before I am finished with my research I will need the power and strength of a Healer like you. Now, here is [what I know] so far."

[Step #1] Speak with Haral to learn what you must do to help with his research.

Haral says, "According to Ulorik's spies, both the Shar and the Inconnu have been acting strangely lately, but we already knew that. We have suspected for a while that some evil force is controlling both the Shar and the Inconnu. What we don't know is if it is the same evil force that controls our brothers and sisters, or if there is a new evil lurking in the shadows. But that is not our [only worry] these days."

Haral says, "One of Ulorik's spies recently reported that thought they witnessed a meeting between an Inconnu and a Terracite. The spy saw a creature he thought was a Terracite walking away from an Inconnu. Because his view was limited, the spy couldn't be sure. He followed the Inconnu back to the edge of their city to identify him, but did not engage the enemy. That is what [you must do] now, Healer."

Haral says, "The spy reported that the Inconnu is a creature known as An'shi. You must travel to the edge of their city here in the Underground Forest and find An'shi. Do what you must to learn if there is any kind of involvement between the Inconnu and the Terracites. Here, take this potion. I have had it made just in case you find anything written by the Inconnu. It will allow you to read their writing. Return to me with solid proof either way - that there is a pact between the two or there isn't. You may find you want a friend to come with you. Good luck, Healer."

You receive Haral's Potion from Haral!

[Step #2] Seek out An'shi and do what you must do to obtain the proof that Haral needs. From Haral, head north to the Forest's edge, then follow the edge east untill you find An'shi.
  • Go to loc=31100,16200 & kill An'shi to get his map.


  • You search An'shi's corpse and find a map. Glancing at it, you can see something written on it in the language of the Inconnu.
    An'shi dies!

    [Step #3] /Use Haral's Potion so that you can read the notes written on An'shi's Map.
  • /use haral's potion.


  • You attempt to use Haral's Potion.
    Haral's Potion doesn't seem to do anything.
    You drink Haral's Potion. Your eyes begin to tingle.

    [Step #4] /Use An'shi's Map to read it.
  • /use the map


  • You attempt to use An'shi's Map.

    As you look at the map, you realize it shows the location of a meeting place in the Underground Forest. A line is drawn from An'shi's location to the south. The line runs southeast around the tree close to An'shi and continues south. A circle has been drawn near a tree. Off to the side is a note that says, 'Meet with Paavu here as soon as possible. He will be waiting for you.'


    [Step #5] From An'shi, head due south into the Underground Forest. If you need more directions, use An'shi's Map. When you see Paavu, stop and watch what happens.
  • go to approx 29800,19800 & stop and wait when a popup message tells you to stop (you should see Paavu, Ru'ua & Da'mesh there).



  • The Inconnu say something in a language you don't understand.
    Paavu throws back his head and laughs.
    Paavu says, "Foolish Inconnu, did you really think I would carry that message to the Chieftain? I would rather die than shame myself by asking my Chieftain to leave these lands!"

    The Inconnu say something in a language you don't understand.
    Paavu lets out a battle cry and engages the Inconnu.

    Watch Ru'ua & Da'mesh kill Paavu.

    Paavu says, "You may have killed me, but others will avenge my death!"
    Da'mesh kills Paavu!

    "Now is the time to attack Da'mesh and Ru'ua!"

    [Step #6] Defeat the Inconnu Da'mesh and Ru'ua and obtain the proof that Haral needs. The pair may be killed in any order.
  • Kill them!


  • Ru'ua dies!
    You receive Inconnu Orders from Da'mesh!
    Da'mesh dies!

    [Step #7] Return to Haral at the outpost in the northwestern corner of the forest with the proof you have obtained.
  • Go to Haral in the camp.


  • Haral says, "You have been gone a while, Healer, and that has worried me. Either you bring me good news or bad. Let's not delay any longer then. Let me see what you have found."

    [Step #8] Give the Inconnu Orders to Haral.

    Haral says, "Ah, Healer, you have done well. This scroll contains an order for two Inconnu named Da'mesh and Ru'ua to execute a Terracite named Paavu if he will not agree to get his people to leave the Underground Forest. Tell me, Healer, did [you witness] this event?"
    Haral says, "Then this proves that there isn't a pact between the Inconnu and the Terracites. And that in turn proves that our [newest ally] speaks the truth."

    Haral says, "A Terracite by the name of Hurrnos has defected from his people and come to us. He swore that there wasn't an alliance between his people and the Inconnu, but we had no way to prove it, until now. Ulorik will be happy to know that our informant speaks the truth. And you shall know that I speak the truth also, Healer. I must [properly reward] you for your help today."

    You are awarded 4 gold and some silver!
    You are awarded 255,000,000 experience!

    (reward for lvl 39 healer, 1 bub of xp)

    [Step #9] Speak to Haral to obtain your reward.

    Haral says, "Here, please take this with the thanks of Ulorik as well as myself. We have gained a great deal of information today thanks to you. I hope this serves you well as you continue your battle against the evil forces that threaten Midgard."

    You receive the Cloak of Tenuous Alignment from Haral!
