Bones Tell the Future

Shilen is the holy mother who created us Dark Elves from water. However, to foreign races like yourself, Shilen is only a fearful being that brings death. There is not a chance that an outsider who does not understand the truth hidden within the darkness of the abyss will assist me properly in what I do.

(Quest for Dark Elven characters.)

For the past 300 years, I have lived to fulfill the will of Gran Kain and Shilen. As a reward for my devotion, goddess Shilen gave me the ability to see into the future.

Once a month, I perform spells to foresee the dangers or disasters that will affect my race and forecast the direction in which the Temple of Darkness must proceed. However, the spells are not that simple. The preparation process is complicated and I need many different materials. Sooner or later, I will tell you to collect the materials I need for the spells, so be prepared.

(Quest for Dark Elven characters level 10 or above.)

I am a member of the Tetrarch council, but at the same time I am an Abyssal Celebrant. For the past 300 years, I have lived to fulfill the will of Gran Kain and Shilen. The goddess Shilen controls death and fate and sometimes lets us steal a glance at the future through death. The goddess taught me how to read the future by throwing bones of the dead and examining the shape they make when they fall on the ground.

Once a month, I perform spells to foresee the dangers or disasters that will affect my race, and forecast the direction in which the Temple of Darkness must proceed. In days like these, when enemies that threaten our race are all around, it is my bounden duty to see whether there are any disasters or dangers in the future for my race.

Every time I make my predictions, I need new bone pieces. The older the bones are, the stronger the power of death that lies within them, so I can see the future more clearly. I would ask you to collect the bone pieces needed for my spell. Well, are you interested?

• Say you will take the task

If you follow the road to the southwest section of the village, you will come to the abandoned School of Dark Arts. It was built a long time ago, for the greatest sorcerers of our race to study black magic. There, we developed a way to undo the curse on our race which made sunlight scorch our skin, and we also began studying spells to unseal our Hierarch. However, when we were at war with the Elves of Light, we abandoned the school for strategic reasons.

We destroyed all the research materials so our magical results would not fall into the hands of our enemy. However, the few brothers who could not escape and were surrounded by the enemies put an end to their own lives and rose as the undead to fight the enemy until the end. The brothers who were sacrificed then still wander along the corridors of the Institute as skeleton spirits. I would like you to bring me their bone pieces. The bones of those who died in a war that was rampant with slaughter and death have especially strong black magic powers. I do not need many. Just find me ten.

You agreed to get me ten bone pieces of the skeleton hunters from the School of Dark Arts, did you not? You know the way to the School of Dark Arts, do you not? Follow the coastline and go to the southwest and you will be able to find it.

You have collected all 10 bone pieces. Well done! Within these bone pieces that you have collected are the final breaths of the brothers that were sacrificed at the hands of the enemy 100 years ago. Can you feel it? The beautiful smell of death?

Here is the compensation that I promised. Now, may the peace of the darkness and the shelter of the abyss be with you.
