Conspiracy: Rite of Binding (Chapter 2:2) (Mid)
|
DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different [Step #1] When you are ready to resume your mission for the King, return to Athr Hasetti Theyr in the Throne Room. Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "His Majesty is determined to stand firm against this evil, terrible though it may be, and [emerge victorious]." Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "We agree that the fate of the Keeper Iraeda must be determined. If she is alive and a prisoner, she [must be found] as soon as possible." Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "To carry out the King's wishes, we must rely upon your talents. Few in the realm can match your courage, loyalty, or skill. The King wants to know, (Your Name), are you [prepared to continue] in your role as his new champion?" You have been given the Conspiracy: Rite of Binding quest. Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "Splendid! Let us waste no time, then. The only way to learn Iraeda's location at this point is to ask the demons themselves. Demonology is a powerful and dangerous branch of magic, and [Morkosis has agreed] to help us." Athr Hasetti nods. Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "He's offered to perform an obscure ritual known as the Rite of Binding. After he has made his preparations, he will summon a lesser demon and compel it to speak to you. He will be able to describe the process in more detail, but for now, your orders will be to aid him in procuring whatever [materials] he needs for the rite." Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "Morkosis is staying temporarily in the castle in Jordheim. He's waiting for you now." [Step #2] Locate Morkosis within Jordheim and speak to him about the items he requires for the Rite of Binding. Morkosis is located outside of the throne room at 23k, 20k in Jord. Morkosis says, "It's a relief to finally be able to speak with you in a more normal setting, (Your Name). As Athr Hasetti Theyr may have told you, I'm making preparations to perform a ceremony known as the Rite of [Binding]." Morkosis says, "We haven't had call to use it in hundreds of years, but the knowledge is passed down from one generation to the next. When I have the proper components and have found a suitable location, I will attempt to summon a [lesser demon]." Morkosis says, "The spell should draw him forth from the netherworld and bind him to my will. For our purposes, that means compelling him to give up any knowledge he has [concerning] Iraeda, and the Rebellion." Morkosis says, "The Athr Hasetti said you would be able to help me gather the materials while I make the rest of the preparations. Here is a list of what I will require and a bag to carry the reagents in. Return to me when you have gathered the items." [Step #3] Right click on the List of Reagents and /use it to learn about where to find the first reagent. When you arrive at the area described, /dig to retrieve the item. List says: "The first item required for the rite is hallowed earth. Travel to the entrance of Varulvhamn in Skona Ravine. Once at the location /dig around the entrance and obtain a piece of sod." Popup Box: "You receive a clump of sod and place it in your Reagent Bag." You use the List of Reagents. The Rite of Binding also requires an eye from a sidhe gaoite. The ancient beings dwell in the area surrounding the Sidhe Draoi Camp in the Skona Ravine. Slay one and place the eye in the bag with the other components. You can find sidhe gaoite walking around to west of the dungeon entrance and to sw. Popup Box: "You pluck the eye from the sidhe gaoite's corpse. You use the List of Reagents. In order to ensure a balance of forces, cursed swamp mud must be spread around the summoning site. Travel to the small lake island with the tower, as shown on your map, in Vanern Swamp. Dig in the water along the banks of the island to retrieve a small amount of the cursed swamp mud. The island is located around 43k, 25k in Vanern Swamp. Be very careful when approaching the island because at lvl 50 it is occupied by several yellow con mobs along with a purple named one that has a huge aggro radius. I just did the /dig command to the se of the island in the swamp water. You begin digging. You finish digging. You receive a dollop of cursed swamp mud and place it in your Reagent Bag. Popup Box "You dig some cursed mud from the shallows near the island." You use the List of Reagents. The egg of a black orm is desired for its ability to aid in binding otherworldly creatures. Travel to the Jotun Camp of Vanern Swamp to find the black orm. They traverse the shores of the small lakes there. Kill a black orm for its egg. To the East and NE of where you just /dig you can find the black orm's, they look like worms. Popup box: "You receive an egg of a black orm and place it in your bag." You use the List of Reagents. The List of Reagents says, "The ritual's final component is a constricting potion, a dangerous concoction that can only be prepared by someone skilled in the arts of both light and dark. Ailder in West Skona is capable of preparing such a potion. Seek him out and ask him to brew the potion for you." You can find Ailder at 23.9k, 22.8k in Skona Ravine. You tell Ailder that you are seeking a constricting potion for a binding ritual. A constricting potion, eh? Well, I can't remember the last time that I prepared one of those. I think I still have the materials handy. The ingredients for such a dangerous thing tend to last a [long time]. The healer turns around and sorts through assorted bottles and boxes inside the storage chest behind him, selecting a few and nodding slightly. Yes, these will do. Allow me a moment to mix this for you. It requires the utmost concentration on the part of the alchemist, (Your Name), for this potion possesses power to pierce the barriers between [worlds]. Ailder says, "Here is your potion, (Your Name). I would suggest you deliver it quickly to someone schooled in its use. It is very volatile. Safe journeys to you, friend." You receive the Full Reagent Bag from Ailder! [Step #4] Take the Bag of Reagents to Morkosis in Jordheim. Morkosis says, "Welcome back, Glenlock. Have you gathered the materials I'll need for the ritual? I'll just have a look at the list I gave you earlier. Please hand me the reagent bag as well." Morkosis retrieves his list from you. Morkosis says, "Ah, good. It looks like everything is here and in ample quantities. This will make things much easier. Normally members procure their own reagents, but given the [urgency] of this situation the help is much appreciated." Morkosis says, "I have but a few things left to see to and then we will be prepared to conduct the Rite. When you are ready, travel to the ritual site and wait there for me. I have selected an area that I believe is ideal for containing the [demon]." Morkosis says, "In Skona Ravine, the Seithkona Stone Pillar Circle is where this will be performed. The seclusion will make it easier for me to control the demon and limit his earthly [influence]." Morkosis says, "I will meet you at the stone in the center, Bonedancer Glenlock." [Step #5] Travel to Skona Ravine and look for Morkosis near the Seithkona Stone Pillar Circle. Be cautious of the demon summoning and be prepared for combat. Morkosis is located at 54.6k, 10.2k in Skona Ravine. Morkosis says, "Greetings, Glenlock. Everything is prepared, so we can begin when you are ready. I must ask that you stand back during the initial summoning and binding, since we will be most vulnerable at that time. Shall I [begin]?" Morkosis mutters an ancient incantation and casts a spell of summoning. Beltadis a flying demon appears who cons green to a lvl 50. Morkosis faces the demon, maintaining eye contact. In a commanding voice he says, ''Hear me, demon! You will do my bidding and tell us all we desire to know!'' Morkosis questions the demon, ''How is it that a demon was free within the realm and taking the form of a human?'' The demon responds, ''Yes, master?'' Morkosis presses on, ''Where is Iraeda being held?'' The demon obeys Morkosis and answers the questions, ''Within the darkest halls of Darkness Falls, master.'' Morkosis continues his interrogation, ''Who ordered her capture and who is holding her now?'' The demon hesitates, ''Rugak, keeper of demons.'' Morkosis questions the demon further, ''What is the name of your master, demon?'' Impatient with the demon, Morkosis demands, ''His name, demon! Give me his name!'' The demon's cool but condescending persona quickly turns to agitation, ''I tire of you. I will answer no more questions.'' Morkosis, unnerved by the demon's retort, attempts to reassert control, ''You will answer as many as I want, demon. You have no choice in the matter.'' The demon cackles, ''That's where you are wrong, foolish Valkyn. Your binding spell has never held me. I was answering your questions of my own volition because there is nothing the realm can do to stop what has been set in motion. Prepare to die!'' Beltadis kills Morkosis and then attacks you. Popup Box: "You destroyed the demon Beltadis." [Step #6] Return to Athr Hasetti Theyr and tell him of Rugak's identity and of Iraeda's whereabouts. Notify him of Morkosis' fate. Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "Welcome back, (Your Name). I take it the demon summoning went well? Wait...where's [Morkosis]?" You tell Athr Hasetti Theyr about the demon's words and Morkosis' death at the hands of the creature he summoned forth. Theyr's eyes go wide in horror. Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "How can this be? Are you sure the demon said there are more demon doppelgangers throughout the realm? They aren't supposed to be able to come and go like this. The damage they could do if they are not stopped is [beyond imagining]." Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "We are facing a more frightening enemy than we could have imagined. These demons not only possess the tremendous powers of a demon, but they have an intimate knowledge of and influence over [Midgard]! They almost caused a civil war by fanning the flames of the Rebellion." Athr Hasetti Theyr says, "With Iraeda being held prisoner by Rugak, we are deprived of our greatest asset in the fight against his demon host. The King must learn of these developments, (Your Name). Let me know when you are ready to continue." You have been given the Darkness Rising Chapter 2: Conspiracy quest. You have earned 819 champion experience! You are awarded 1,638,000,000 experience!
