Sooner or later it had to happen; a developer has his eye on a prime piece of real estate. But his plans include moving the local Banderlings off of a holy shrine, by any means possible! Where's the ACEDL when you need it?!

Rid the Shrine of the Banderling Ancient Spirit and return an evil Oily Stone to Entrepreneur Cyphis Suldow for a reward!

To begin this quest speak to Cyphis Suldow in Stonehold at 68.8N, 21.6W.

To reach Stonehold, take the Azaroth Settlement portal from Qalaba'r at 74.8S, 17.8E. You'll exit at 84.1N, 31.1W, a short run from a portal to Stonehold located at 85.8N, 27.6W. You can also take the portal from inside Umbrall Hall on the Vesayan Isles.

Cyphis Suldow tells you, "Greetings! I'm Cyphis Suldow and you are? Nevermind, who you are is unimportant. The important thing is I need some help and you seem to be more than qualified to do so."
Cyphis Suldow tells you, "I want to build a resort for the weary adventurer and I found the perfect spot just to the east of here."
Cyphis Suldow tells you, "The only problem is that some banderlings have a village there. That is where you come in my friend. Go and...relocate those banderling."
Cyphis Suldow tells you, "Come back when the job is done. I'll give you a nice reward, but I'll need proof that the banderlings won't come back."

If you speak to Cyphis again, you'll receive this message:

Cyphis Suldow tells you, "You're back. Any luck getting those banderlings to relocate their village?"
Cyphis Suldow tells you, "No? Well hurry up then. If you don't do it I'll hire someone else who is more persuasive."
Cyphis Suldow tells you, "Remember, the banderling village is east of here. I don't care how you do it, but get those banderlings to leave."

The Banderling Village is located at 72.8N, 6.8W. You can reach it by taking the Dire's Door Estates settlement portal from Stonehold at 69.6N, 20.2W. You'll exit at 78.1N, 16.9, a brisk run from the village.

You can also reach the Village by taking the Neydisa Castle portal from Holtburg at 41.9N, 33.4E, then the Anadil portal at 66.4N, 14.3E.

You'll find a Crude Stone Statue guarded by a few Amethyst Gromnies, Banderling Chanters and a Banderling Spirit Dancer. The Spirit Dancer carries a Crude Carving. When you give the Carving to the Crude Statue, a portal to the Banderling Shrine will appear (cannot be summoned, restricted to levels 60+)!

Map: Banderling Shrine

You give Crude Statue Crude Carving.
The air behind the statue begins to shimmer until suddenly a portal to the Banderling Shrine appears.

Inside the dungeon, you'll be looking for three Banderling Spirit Seeker. Each carries a trophy that when combined, create a key. All three items are on a 7 day timer. You'll also encounter numerous Banderling Chanters and Ruby Gromnies, so bane for fire damage!

Note: You must have lockpick trained in order to create the key.

The first Spirit Seeker carries a Ring of Vines. It can be found in a large open room in the upper level of the dungeon. Keep left from the entrance.

The second Spirit Seeker carries a Stone Emblem. As you head down into the Shrine, bearing right from the entrance, you'll come to a wide sloping area. The Banderling is at the bottom of the first slope, before you hit the wooden bridge.

Once you cross the bridge, you'll be in the Gromnie area. Head deeper in moving west. The third Spirit Seeker is located around the corner from the surface portal.

Once you have your three items, combine them as described into a Banderling Holy Symbol. You'll get a skill check warning (lockpick) asking you if you'd like to continue.

You successfully attach the Ring of Vines to the Stone Emblem to create a Ringed Emblem.

You successfully attach the Murky Gem to the Ringed Emblem to create a Banderling Holy Symbol.

The Shrine Door is located just past the surface portal. Use the Holy Symbol on the door to enter the final room. Inside you'll find a large Banderling Idol resting on a platform surrounded by molten lava. If you touch the idol, you'll disturb the spirits of the Shrine and receive the following message:

A cacophony of voices can be heard growing ever louder until the noise threatens to deafen you.

Two Ruby Gromnies will spawn, along with a Banderling Ancient Spirit! Kill the Ancient Spirit and retrieve the Oily Stone it carries, then return to Stonehold for your reward. After, of course, you bow your head in shame for defiling a holy place!!

You give Cyphis Suldow Oily Stone.
Soul Taker says, "Malar Zhavik"
Cyphis Suldow tells you, "Those heathens were worshipping some kind of spirit, huh? I guess with you killing their 'god' they won't be coming back."
Cyphis Suldow tells you, "Good job! Here's a little something for your troubles."
You've earned 360,000 experience.
Cyphis Suldow gives you Cyphis Suldow's Half Moon Spear.
Cyphis Suldow tells you, "Hey! Wait a minute. I can't drop this stone..."

Next up... the wetlands!
