New Quest - Power Forges!
Thanks to Chupon of LC, Theknight of SC, Rawen of HG, Phoenix Warrior of TD, Witch Hazel of VT, Wing Zero of MT!

Western Power Forge -- 21.9S, 43.8W (Levels 100+)
Northern Power Forge -- 18.4N, 22.8W (Levels 40-69) SE of Danby's
Southern Power Forge -- 82.3S, 3.9W (Levels 70-99) W of the spec temple

Chupon of LC reports on the Western Forge: "Has peerless drudges, prestilence rats, mottled carenzi, caul dolls, devastators and a new virindi, the desecrator.

Can't give the exact path but it's not too hard to figure out. You need to find a room at the end with a few virindi named the Western overseer. They drop a note (lore), a western forge essence (no use yet) and a ring has fire, blade magic resist 6 and moderate magic resist. Neither the essence or ring are givable."

Wing Zero of MT adds the following: "The drop is safe. The dungeon IS recall-able, but I am not sure if you can tie to it. Monsters inside: Mottled Carenzi, Desecrated Dolls, Pestilence Rats, Peerless Drudges, new high-level Virindi, Devastators (Tuskers) and the Boss, the "Western Overseer," a high level, high-health Virindi. The Boss spawn and the spawn around him are very quick, so it is best to fight in the hallway that you came from or another safer area where you cannot get surrounded."

On December 16th, a 3rd Emissary appeared in Yaraq:
Urleg tells you, "Isparian, hear my offer."
Urleg tells you, "Working with my citadel brothers, I discovered a way to construct forges which will bestow crafting boons to those that use it. We desire to place these forges within our citadels that we might better equip our warriors with the supplies which are so necessary in combat."
Urleg tells you, "However, we require the assistance of one brave enough to delve the depths of the Virindi Power Forges. The Overseers of those Forges carry a Forge Essence which I need if I am to construct these crafting boons."
Urleg tells you, "If you can venture into one of these pits and retrieve a Forge Essence, I will reward you handsomely. In addition, in my appreciation I will place five crafting forges for all of your people to use."
Urleg tells you, "The Western Power Forge lies upon the western shore of the Inner Sea. Be safe, young Isparian, and be quick. My time here is short. I shall leave your lands before the snow recedes."
You give Urleg Western Forge Essence.
Urleg tells you, "Isparian, you have done both our races a great service."
You've earned 1,671,639 experience.
Urleg smiles broadly.
Urleg tells you, "If you were not so small, I would invite you to join our citadel as a fellow in arms."
Urleg tells you, "I shall not forget my promise. As a gesture of appreciation, I shall erect a series of crafting forges in the town of Yaraq"

Deven-Kenyon has defeated the Western Overseer and delivered its Forge Essence to the Lugian Urleg. In exchange, Urleg has assembled and activated the crafting forges in the town of Yaraq. Crafters the world over owe a debt of gratitude to the mighty Deven-Kenyon!

The incantations necessary to create these forges are arcane indeed! Please wait a moment, I suddenly feel the need to meditate upon them.
Half a moment, as I contemplate the infinite crafting mysteries of the universe!
Ah! The beauty of my crafting forges! I am so fortunate that such a brave adventurer was able to bring me the forge essence that I required.
Such a lovely day we're having, don't you agree?
Voila! I have finished my meditations. Alright, who's next?

TD - Spirit Walker

Note: See this post for important information about the forge XP reward.

Mr Fizz of LC reports the following exchange:

You allow Urleg to examine your Inner Sea Directive.
Urleg tells you, "I have no need of such reconnaissance. But you would do well to heed the words within it. It appears the Virindi have some plan for you Isparians."
 

Magdala of TD reports on the Southern Forge: "Hiyas Maggie! Myself, Cerulia, Dohk Tug, and Shin Fai just went through the Southern Power Forge on Thistledown and defeated the Southern Overseer. Once inside, basically keep going up until you reach the Overseer. Among the random loot, he dropped a Circlet of Shielding (ring) and a Southern Forge Essence."

Witch Hazel of VT reports :"Hi Maggie, The Southern Power Forge has Unconquered Drudges, Virindi Executors, Pandemonium Shadows, Virindi Profatrix, Assailers and the Southern Power Forge Overseer a level 135 virindi. It seems all the dungeons are the same layout. I took 3 of my friends and was debuffed so much thruout that dungeon so bad at times it looked like a fireworks display. So be ready to heal alot. Dispells are useless cause you are constantly be debuffed. As far as I could tell I the debuffs were level 5's. The Southern Power Forge Essence goes to a NPC named Amaroth and he is located in Holtburg."

Gyes of SC reports: "Hello Maggie - Just dropping you a line to let you know the forges in Holtburg on Solclaim are now operational. Here's the text:

June the Intrepid has defeated the Southern Overseer and delivered its Forge Essence to the Lugian Amaroth. In exchange, Amaroth has assembled and activated the crafting forges in the town of Holtburg. Crafters the world over owe a debt of gratitude to the mighty June the Intrepid!

Fayt Xenosus and I went through alone and took down the Southern Overseer - it was quite the trip, but evidently a good duo of mage and melee can do it.

A couple notes: The Overseer has impressive magic resistance and elemental resistance. Unless he buffed himself (which is a distinct possibility), he has magic defense of around 360-380. Using a Fire Rending wand, I was only doing about 180 points of damage a shot. His natural armor is on par with an Executor. Mages should use Singularity Wands to take him out.

The Forge Essence is worth 20% of your current level. At level 82, I got around 6.5M and Fayt (95ish) got 11M or so." Thanks also to Woon Leng of LC!

Wing Zero of MT reports on the Northern Forge: "Weatherlight(Wing Zero), Telrik(Phinius), Hoshigaki Kisame(Rage Lao) completed the Northern Forge Quest. Basically the dungeon is rather linear. Just keep going up. We were kind of rushing it, so we wouldn't lose buffs. As I said, rather easy to find your way up. The boss is a Virindi of level 104. Rather easy to kill with the three of us. After we gave our forges to Kerrak a forge spawns in Shoushi that buffs your salvaging skill by 45 points."

You allow Kerrak to examine your Western Forge Essence.

Mortar & Pestle on Strand Siraluun Claw = Strand Siraluun Claw Hairgel

You give Aun Kahuiura Strand Siraluun Claw Hairgel.

Perhaps the little ones could amuse themselves by flinging it at the Hea on the lower plains."

Soul Stone Quest Updated!
Thanks to Spirit Walker of TD!

Guard Audrey tells you, "We still need to collect more soul gems to craft into the Noble Weapons. You'll need to get a small bit of information from Nuhmudira's cottage located near Uziz on the rim of the A'mun desert. The location is near twenty-one south and twenty-two east by your compass. Apparently something in the book makes you aware of how to use her teleportation device. Once that is complete you can make your way to the island that she found. We have reports that Nuhmudira has moved on and left a student in her place, hopefully she will perform the same deeds as her mentor."

Guard Audrey tells you, "See if you can get her student to talk about what she knows of that night that Oswald tried to kill the High Queen. If you learn anything visit Guard Chandler Hammett in Lytelthorpe, Guard Gabrielle in Rithwic, or Emissary Ydnew in Yanshi. They will reward you for your service and they can be trusted."

Camryn, Nuhmudira's Student tells you, "On an errand from the High Queen? Nuhmudira has decided that she will assist those who will continue to show her aid. The lady has been pulled away by business elsewhere. I am her student, Camryn. I will fulfill the role that she once filled in this place."
Camryn, Nuhmudira's Student tells you, "Within the halls beyond are three objects that I require. I am not wont to leave my study of this place and have no students here at present to undertake this endeavor. You shall do."
Camryn, Nuhmudira's Student tells you, "Within the halls beyond are three objects. Nuhmudira requires them in order. I will catalogue their arrival and ensure that you are properly credited with finding the objects for her."
Camryn, Nuhmudira's Student tells you, "The first is a book found in the library, the second is an urn from the crypt and the last is the corpse of the woman who held court in this chapel. Collect these and return them to me in the order I have listed and you shall be rewarded."
