Quest Detail: Blackmire Temple
Fellowship only quest

LC Global: Clan Shelendil (Wyome Willow, Expended Soul, Elles, Thamior, Pyro Elf)

The great Blackmire Swamp in Osteth begins to boil. A visible wave of magic erupts from a small temple between the ruins of Yanshi and the city of Sawato. It spreads across the world rippling over the desert and the inland sea, stretching across Dryreach and the eastern shore until all of Dereth and the outlying islands has been touched. Still visible, the wave of energy strikes an unseen barrier.
As the blood is siphoned from Strage Device's wound, magical energy filters into the archways. The room shudders with power.
As the blood is siphoned from Strage Device's wound, magical energy filters into the archways. The room shudders with power.
For a brief moment the scent of a fetid, decaying swamp assails the senses. A visible ripple can be seen around Dereth and the islands. As quickly as the wave arose it is gone, and a voice carries on the wind, "Ekta vaik av kintiku, ia avtu ikni livaik ekta ukri! Tik Vaiktu Kiktij, ikni zirku zikt Bur av akri. Klia mijik av iaktik, ikni iak av ixk."
