From the Waking from the Abyss event.

The defeat of the Ancient Olthoi Queen was cause for rejoicing, but the risk of danger is always lurking. High Queen Elysa seeks brave adventurers willing to explore the Olthoi Chasm -- tunnels created by the Ancient Queen -- to seek information about the activities of the undead and the possibility of the Olthoi Queen's return. As you explore the five sections of this dungeon, each successively more difficult, you'll discover notes left by Amauxi. Return them to the Royal Guard for a reward.

To begin the quest, head west of Lytelthorpe and speak to the Royal Guard stationed outside the Olthoi Chasm at 0.7N, 44.7E.

Xavier, Royal Guard tells you, "Hail! High Queen Elysa has ordered me to offer fair rewards for adventurers willing to investigate the tunnels beyond this portal."
Xavier, Royal Guard tells you, "We've also discovered that there are undead within these tunnels."
Xavier, Royal Guard tells you, "As of yet, we don't understand their part in these tunnel systems. The High Queen is offering rewards to any that will bring information regarding the motives of the undead, and information of the possibility of the Olthoi Queen's return through these tunnels."
Xavier, Royal Guard tells you, "If you find any such information, you can return to me and I will reward you in kind."
Xavier, Royal Guard tells you, "Additionally, if you received a token from Her Majesty during the time that followed the initial assault on the Olthoi Queen, I will accept those and grant you the title that you have earned."

The first section of the dungeon is symmetrical until the end. From the entrance room, take either the east or west ramp down, then head down the slope in the large room. The floor of the room will have two openings with ramps heading down. Don't take the ramps heading south. If you started east, go east again. If you started west, take west again. At the bottom of the ramp, you'll be in a room with an Olthoi area below. Jump down and take either the east or west passage from the room. Follow the hallway (go past the doors) until you reach the large open room with the mushrooms. Take the northwest ramp down (heading north) and you'll find an Untranslated Note right before the portal to the 40+ section.

From the entrance, hug the right wall until you head down a ramp. Follow the corridor straight (pass the ramp down on your right) until you head up a ramp. At the top of the ramp turn right, then make another immediate right down another ramp heading east. From here, keep to the left all the way to the end. You'll go through a large room filled with Skeleton and Undead, then you'll go down another long ramp to the Olthoi area.

Map: Abyssal Olthoi Chasm 100+

Creatures: Archfiend, Lich Oppressor, Chimera, Tormenter, Olthoi Primordial, Olthoi Sentinel, Jaenyn, Stone Shaper

Machine of MT reports: "Maggie, I got down to the 100+ area in Olthoi Chasm and found an NPC --Jaenyn, Stone Shaper. The upper part of this area was filled with Archfiends. A little further in there were SEVERAL Olthoi Sentinels, Primordals, Lich Oppressors, Chimeras, and other hideous critters in large quantity. As I was running around solo I haven't yet found the end but I have found some great places to die. I recommend a group for this one."

He continues: "I made it to the bottom of the 100+ area of Olthoi Chasm, found the final text and translated it (see 5th Missive). Additionally, there was an alloy machine in this hallway which when I got near it produced the following message;"

Where once a tunnel carved by the digging claws and corrosive bile of the olthoi stood, a solid core of near impenetrable rock now stands. The sheer surface of the stone leads you to believe that the change to this passage has been made through some enhanced mystical means.

Jaenyn, Stone Shaper waits near the drop of the final section.

Jaenyn, Stone Shaper tells you, "Ae...? Outlanders, for what purpose have you come to this place? Speak not. I care not. You are the cause of much suffering upon my ilk. I desire no discourse with those such as you."
Jaenyn, Stone Shaper tells you, "Leave us to our task, and allow us to shore these tunnels. Continue your efforts to supply the mechanic with the devices we require, that is the only assistance that we require from you, Outlanders."
Jaenyn, Stone Shaper tells you, "Be gone from this place. Your meddling here will only serve to remove the impetus of my workers, and cause a delay in the reshaping of these tunnels. Be gone, lest you wish to unleash the horde back upon you populace and bring and end to Killiakta."

This dungeon, like the 20+ section, is symmetrical. From the drop take either the east or west passage down. After the ramped area, take either the west or east passage down from the center of the room. Follow the passage then jump down to the level below. Take either the east or west passage until you reach the large open room. The ramp down in the center of the room leads to the final note and alloy machine. Whew!

The final note yields 4% of the experience required for your next level, as well as a Trade Note (250,000) and 5 Gem of Stillness.

You give Xavier, Royal Guard Untranslated Note.
Xavier, Royal Guard tells you, "Sealed, and the undead do not wish our
assistance? This proves to be most consternating. I will send this
information to the High Queen immediately. She must be made aware of their intentions. Perhaps they intend on some nefarious purpose or perhaps there is another reason for their involvement here. I gift you now with a token of her appreciation of your efforts."
You've earned 334,327 experience.
Xavier, Royal Guard gives you Trade Note (250,000).
Xavier, Royal Guard gives you Gem of Stillness.

You can also allow Jaenyn, Stone Shaper to examine your collection of Untranslated Notes for additional information!  (Thanks to Ac-so-cheap of TD for text!)

You allow Jaenyn, Stone Shaper to examine your Untranslated Note.
Jaenyn, Stone Shaper tells you, "I do not remember ridding myself of this order. It is inconsequential. It has no bearing on my task...which you have turned my attention from. Meddling outlanders! A pox upon your people, the Ice Throne will rise again, and you shall be swept aside!"

You allow Jaenyn, Stone Shaper to examine your Untranslated Note.
Jaenyn, Stone Shaper tells you, "Cease your interference here. Each moment that you distract me from my purpose is another moment that we risk her return."

You allow Jaenyn, Stone Shaper to examine your Untranslated Note.
Jaenyn, Stone Shaper tells you, "Why must you interfere? Your race is such an insignificant speck upon this world, and yet you feel as though you must place your fingers where they do not belong. I have no need of that memento."

You allow Jaenyn, Stone Shaper to examine your Untranslated Note.
Jaenyn, Stone Shaper tells you, "What care have I for a note that I discarded? You are being meddlesome. Be gone at once. Your presence here will only serve as a distraction from the Winds that strive to protect Killiakta."

You allow Jaenyn, Stone Shaper to examine your Untranslated Note.
Jaenyn, Stone Shaper tells you, "Another note dropped because of irrelevance. Do you think it is necessary for me to maintain my faculties? I may not be one of the Primogenitors, but my mind is still whole."

There is a 28 Day timer on the notes. When the quest was originally introduced, the notes became giveable once they had been translated. During the following patch this was corrected and they may no longer be given. When translated, you'll receive five Missives to the World Shaper.
