From the Throne of Destiny Expansion.

The Knights of Karlun is the second quest in both the Stag and the Bull faction quests. After completing the Dericost Ruin quest or Eleonora's Heart quest, you'll be able to enter Karlun's Fort.

Begin by speaking to either Grand Mother of Silyun or the Grand Knight of Sanamar.

NPC: Grand Mother - 87.4N, 70.5W (Silyun)

Grand Mother tells you, "I wonder if you might help us, since you have helped us once before. There is a group of knights who has broken away from the murderous Viamontian loyalists. They call themselves the Knights of Karlun."
Grand Mother tells you, "Unfortunately for them, they possess something that would be useful to us: a ring that once belonged to Karlun, the Great Father of Viamont."
Grand Mother tells you, "I would have you take this ring from their leader, a knight named Sir Belfelor. Kill him if you must. But to even see this Belfelor, you must infiltrate the Knights of Karlun and gain their trust. They have a fortress located at 89.0N, 67.6W."

Karlun's Fort - 88.8N, 67.8W
--Levels: 40+

NPC: Sir Ginazio

Guard says, "Knights of Viamont are men, not monsters. Varicci has gone too far..."
Guard tells you, "Speak with Sir Ginazio. He deals with all outsiders."

Before you can be trusted to enter the Hall of Karlun, you have to earn Sir Ginazio's trust.

Sir Ginazio tells you, "Ah, have you come to join the Knights of Karlun? I do not trust you enough to send you on to speak with our Grand Master. Perhaps if you could prove yourself trustworthy..."
Sir Ginazio tells you, "If you would enter our confidence, seek out the vile Eater-thing that swallowed my sword. It can be found at the heart of the Eater Pit, located at 88.8N, 72.6W . Bring me my sword, and we will speak further."
Sir Ginazio says, "Fighting alongside one of those foul Eater things would make me feel as debased as a Milantean..."

Eater Pit - 88.8N, 72.6W
--Levels 40+
--Map: Eater Pit
--Creatures: Famished Eater, Sword Swallower

From the drop, take the east passage keep right until you eventually go down a ramp. When you reach the large, glowing room, you'll find a passage down in the middle of the floor. Go west down a ramp, then keep to the right until you find another large sloping room. Take the NE passage from the bottom and take the passage north until the final area. You'll see an exit portal down the hall to the right. The Sword Swallower is in a room down the left hall. Kill it and retrieve Sir Ginazio's sword!

This proof of trust is still not enough for Sir Ginazio. When you return the sword, he sends you on another task.

Sir Ginazio tells you, "Ah, you found my sword. Wonderful. Please give it to me, and I will tell you how else you might aid the Knights of Karlun."
You give Sir Ginazio Sir Ginazio's Sword.
Sir Ginazio tells you, "Well done. You have my thanks, but you have not proven yourself to the Knights of Karlun just yet. Now I must ask you to take on a more sensitive task. One of our leading warriors, a knight of great virtue named Sir Coretto, journeyed into the Heart of Madness to discover what afflicts the Fiun who have gone mad. It has been some time since we heard from him. Please follow him into the Heart of Madness at 84.8N, 68.6W and discover what has become of him."

Heart of Madness - 84.8N, 68.6W  
--Levels 40+
--Map: Heart of Madness
--Creatures: Raving Fiun, Demented Fuin, Deranged Fiun, Sir Coretto

From the drop, keep south (taking either the right or left passage initially) until you go down a ramp. Keep straight heading east until you pass through the large auditorium room. In the next room to the north, go up the ramp and pull the lever. Jump below to the open gated door on the NE wall.

From here just keep left following the passage down several ramps. You'll eventually see a dead cow, it's carcass steaming, lying on the ground. Take the passage to the west and you'll find Sir Coretto in a small room.

Sir Coretto tells you, "I would wager my friend Sir Ginazio sent you to find me. Noble of you, but futile. I am no use to anyone. I am... broken. I have discovered things too terrible to bear."
Sir Coretto tells you, "Please, put me out of my misery. Strike me down so I may die like a true Knight. And when I am dead, take my last testament to Ginazio... So he will know. So they all will know."

Well, he asked for it!

You bring Sir Coretto to a fiery end!
Sir Coretto tells you, "Thank you..."

Take the text from Sir Coretto's corpse and return to Sir Ginazio at Karlun Fort.

Text: Testament of Sir Coretto

Sir Ginazio tells you, "Well done. I see you have succeeded in making contact with Sir Coretto. Give me his last testament, and I will grant you permission to enter the Hall of Karlun and speak with our Grand Master, the honorable Sir Belfelor."
You give Sir Ginazio Testament of Sir Coretto.
Sir Ginazio gives you Breastplate of Karlun.
Sir Ginazio tells you, "This is... heartbreaking. We all will mourn the great man that Sir Coretto was, and I thank you for putting him out of his misery. You have proven yourself to me. I will give you permission to enter the Hall of Karlun and speak with our Grand Master. You have also been judged worthy to receive a piece of armor of the Knights of Karlun. Wear it with honor."

Now that you have gained Sir Ginazio's trust, as well as the Breastplate of Karluln, you have permission to enter the Hall of Karlun.

Hall of Karlun - 88.9N, 67.8W  
--Levels 40+
--Creatures: Guard, Sir Belfelor

When you enter, simply fight past the guards and head down the center hall to where Sir Belfelor waits.

Sir Belfelor says, "Treachery! Guards, attack!"

Sir Belfelor is torn to ribbons by your assault!
Sir Belfelor tells you, "And so I die by treachery. Go running to your masters, corrupt puppet."

Return to Silyun with the Ring from Sir Belfelor's corpse for your reward.

You give Grand Mother Ring of Karlun.
Grand Mother tells you, "Beautiful. It is regrettable what had to be done to brave Sir Belfelor, but we are glad the Ring of Karlun is ours. You have our gratitude."
Grand Mother gives you Champion of Silyun Token.
You give Grand Mother Champion of Silyun Token.
Grand Mother tells you, "May your kindness to the people of Silyun be known to all you meet."

Following is the text when you complete this quest as part of the Sanamar series.

Grand Knight tells you, "You have served us before, I see. There is another task for you, if you are strong enough for it. The King desires a bauble in the possession of a rogue group of Knights who have left our service. These so-called Knights of Karlun disdain the... physical gifts brought about by the transformation of our own Knights. But they distrust the rebels, too!"
Grand Knight tells you, "The leader of the Knights of Karlun possesses a ring that once belonged to the great Karlun, founder of the nation of Viamont. Do whatever you must to gain their trust and take the ring from their Grand Master, a fallen knight named Sir Belfelor. You will probably have to kill Belfelor. Seek them out at 89.0N, 67.6W"

Sir Ginazio tells you, "Ah, have you come to join the Knights of Karlun? I do not trust you enough to send you on to speak with our Grand Master. Perhaps if you could prove yourself trustworthy..."

You give Sir Ginazio Testament of Sir Coretto.
Sir Ginazio gives you Breastplate of Karlun.

Sir Belfelor says, "Treachery! Guards, attack!"

Sir Belfelor tells you, "You may have fooled Sir Ginazio, outsider, but I know you are working for someone else, and that you seek the Ring of Karlun. I will not attack you, but you will get nothing from me. You may as well leave."
Sir Belfelor tells you, "And so I die by treachery. Go running to your masters, corrupt puppet."
