Text: Story of Lunnum's Pyre.

The book describes the ritual required to preserve Lunnum's Pyre. You'll first need to retrieve the hatchet from inside the nearby chest (7 day timer). Next, head to the Great Frost Tree to cut a log.

Great Frost Tree - 92.1N, 42.2W
--Creatures: Copper Gromnie, Brass Gromnie

If you have trouble using the hatchet on the three, try backing up and moving your mouse and targeting the tree higher up.

Your hands grow numb with cold as you hack at the tree with your hatchet. With each strike the tree vibrates and a low ringing sound can be heard as if the tree were moaning. After only a few hacks, the ringing sound changes to a high pitched squeal that threatens to deafen you. And then just as suddenly as it began, all is quiet. At your feet lays a small Ice Log and the shattered remains of your hatchet.

As stated in the ritual, you'll next need to purify the log in the Glacial Waters found inside Abayar's Laboratory.

Abayar's Laboratory - 92.1N, 46.3W
--Levels: all
--Map: Abayar's Laboratory
--Creatures: Frenzied Fuin, Maniacal Fiun, Enoki Thrungus

From the drop go straight heading east. Keep to the right until you reach a large room with three doors. Take the leftmost door on the north wall, then keep right until you reach the Glacial Waters. Use the log on the water to purify it.

The Glacial Water begins to bubble violently as you drop the Ice Log into the water. The surface of the Ice Log seems to melt and coalesce in a rhythmic pattern. With each pulse the log becomes clearer and purer, until it becomes nearly translucent.

The final step in the ritual is placing the purified ice log in a Ruschk Fire.

Ruschk Fire - 90.1N, 51.6W
--Creatures: Ruschk Sadist, Ruschk Kartak

The Ruschk Fire roars to life as the Purified Ice Log is placed within its flames, but instead of being consumed, the log seems to absorb the Ruschk Fire. You pull the Smoldering Ice Log from the fire just as the flames begin to die out.
You suffer 1 points of damage from the unbearable cold!

Fiun Gaya tells you, "And so followed the Eater."
Fiun Gaya tells you, "Not only did we doom our world, we have now also set this world on the same path of destruction."
Fiun Gaya tells you, "So it was with great amazement, that for all the evil that we had done,"
Fiun Gaya tells you, "there was still talk among the Fiun of rebuilding our society. Deserve to live we did not."
