Part of the Aerlinthe Quest

Aerfalle Keep is an ominous place. Before you even get to the heart of the Keep where Lady Aerfalle herself resides, you'll pass all sorts of oddities -- a lab room with an Olthoi Larvae; a study full of Olthoi statues; a pit of lava with corpses suspended above it, almost as if they were cooking. In addition, there is a oversized Umbris Shadow in what looks like a prison cell. It does not attack, cannot be spoken to or given anything. Its purpose has yet to be revealed.

You'll encounter numerous high level creatures as you make your way through the Keep: Dark Revenants, Vapor and Plasma Golems, Relic Bones, and even a Lag Beast. You'll have to use a levers and pressure plates to open some of the doors within. Use the maps to make your way to Aerfalle.

Deep within the bowels of the keep, the questers found Lady Aerfalle herself, a Level 117 Undead, donning a stunning black robe. After a fierce battle, she was finally defeated.

On far Aerlinthe Island, an intrepid band has found the lair of the Dark Lady Aerfalle, at whose whim the earth itself does shake. But the bold [insert name] has driven her back into her hidden crypts, and the ground stills... until she next awakens. The withered corpse of Aerfalle hisses in rage as it is hewn in twain... "I shall not be sent to a final rest by primitives like thee, [insert name]!" her severed head says from the stones. "Enjoy this insignificant victory, child. For I have walked this world for over ten millennia, and I shall walk it long hence your little race has returned to the dust that birthed thee!"

Her corpse contained a magnificent prize: the Staff of Aerfalle. In addition, she also held a Key and Aerfalle's Letter. After some exploring a Chest was located upstairs. Using the key on the chest, more treasure was unearthed, including the coveted black robe, Aerfalle's Pallium, and Leikotha's sword, Ashbane. Aerfalle's Letter can be translated in Zaikhal by Kuyiza bint Zayi. The Unreadable Scroll translates into the spell Aerlinthe Recall.

You give Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator Unreadable Scroll.
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "Ah, yes, this appears to be a unique teleport spell. Give me a moment, and I can teach it to you."

During The Slumbering Giant event, The Silifi of Crimson Stars quest was updated. Leikotha now gives a reward of xp in exchange for the Rubies or the Ashbane Sword (she will not return it).

Repaired Haft - 10,000 xp
Ruby Al-Shajar - 25,000 xp
Ruby Yuzajik - 25,000 xp
Ruby Sulmada - 25,000 xp
Ruby Mahwan - 25,000 xp
Ruby Al-Khur - 25,000 xp
Ashbane - 500,000 xp

From zedjin of TD: As far as lore goes, Ashbane (the sword from the Aerlinthe quest) was hers long long ago and she dropped it when she realized she had been tricked. I handed her an Ashbane and got a result!

"In your mind, a soft voice sighs, "Disturb me not... Travel past this hole
in the earth."
You give Leikotha Ashbane.
Leikotha releases a dry, rasping gasp.
Leikotha tells you, "Ashbane... mine own sword."
Leikotha examines her sword, feeling the weight of the blade in her hands.
Leikotha tells you, "I had dropped this on the hill of Ayn Tayan... My rage had so blinded me. Ferah, had played me for the fool..."
Leikotha tells you, "Spinning lies in my mind..."
Leikotha tells you, "What I did..."
A sound slowly builds within Leikotha, until finally an unearthly scream emanates from her. You feel the din about to deafen you when the scream stops.
Leikotha tells you, "Why... why..."
Leikotha stares silently at the blade of the sword.
Leikotha tells you, "How... where... ai, thy mind tells me that thou has found in one of Aerfalle's caches. Foul magus that she is. I shall reward thee for thy efforts."
You've earned 500,000 experience.
Leikotha tells you, "Now leave me. Leave me with my bitter memories..."

She then portals you to inside Hub.
