Hey Maggie!
Hope you and the baby are doing well! Just wanted to let ya know about a new quest. No lvl restrict as the dungeon is just a hole in the ground. The entrance can be found at 68.4N 66.6E, on the mainland near the vissadel isle. In the beginning you'll be facing raven conscripts with around 3000 health. Continue through the dungeon (it makes splits but they all lead to the same place. its very linear early on) until you come across Archon Merille, a lvl 165 Raven Conscript. Kill her and loot the note off her (shes on a 4 min respawn. there is 1 note per body, she may not look the same each time)

Once she is dead, continue on. (The dungeon is no longer linear) You will soon be facing shadows (wretched, twisted, and other such high lvl ones), coupled with the odd Raven Augur (lvl 165 human). Continuing straight in the dungeon you will bump into Dealith (lvl 165 shadow). He has some sweet armor and on his body you'll find a key (only one person needs to get this) as well as a "sticky lump" (needs to be translated in cragstone). He is also accompanied by Tenebrous knights (lvl 165 elementals).

Take the key from Dealith and use it to open the door just past him. Again, continue through the dungeon, this time until you bump into Faurset (lvl 165 shadow). Again, kill him and loot. Only 1 person again needs the key off the body. As before, use it to open the door past him.

Again, run until this time you bump into Liantor (lvl 165 shadow). Again, loot a key and continue on through the next door. Now it gets fun

Mukkir! Everyone favorite! You'll be fighting a host of them here this time. You'll face the old regular Mukkir and Barbaric Mukkir, as well as their new friends: the Fanatical Mukkir (lvl 180), the Vile Mukkir (lvl 180), the Coruscating Mukkir (lvl 180). You will eventually come to a dead end. Do not panic! Kill the mukkir in there then get ready! Targor will spawn after a little while. Watch out! He hits hard with both magic and melee attacks.

Thats all i have for now. Targor and his minions with him took down all 5 of us. Hope the info helps! I'll send the rest as soon as i get done with it!

Isin Dule's Instructions:
There is an Isparian, known as High Archon Kraest of the Raven Hand, who foolishly seeks to awaken Targor from his long sleep. He has sent those loyal to him to attempt this. We will not allow this to happen. If they gain hold of Targor, they may be able to use him to awaken the Black Spear.

Stop them. Take whatever resources you need, including those more enlightened Raven Hand who have recently joined us. If you cannot stop them from gaining access to Targor, destroy him. His death may awaken some of the other Mukkir who still sleep, but Targor will awaken them all, if they can push him to it. Perhaps even the Black Spear himself. This cannot be allowed to come to pass.

High Archon Kaest's Instructions:
Go, my Archon, to the ruin I have identified the location for. There is no portal, so you will have to gain entry through more mundane means. Once you have gained entry, find this Mukkir, this "Targor". Capture it, bring it to me. I need this Mukkir alive. Let nothing stand in your way.

Hey Maggie,

Here is a small write up for the Necklace of the
Golden Flame Quest.

Town Crier tells you, "There have been reports of an old Bloodless death cult, called the Raven Hand, searching for something in the northeast of Osteth. This should be investigated."
Town Crier tells you, "There are several reports of an old Bloodless death cult, called the Order of the Raven Hand, digging on Osteth, near the shores of Vissidal Island. Along with this, there have been reports of increased "Shadow" activity in the same area. Perhaps those loyal to Sanamar should investigate."

Miroku Mage of TD reports:

After reading some recent lore I found a mound in NE Osteth. (Shortcut: Rithwic, Isparian Flame settlemnt portals...run north to the beach). It is surrounded by 4 Ravens and inside is a huge underground dungeon. You pretty fight through Ravens, kill a boss, then fight shadows. The shadows have bosses near doors. I think there were 3-4 doors...Anyway, you kill the boss shadow, loot a key, go through the door, rinse, repeat. After the last shadow door you reach a small corridor full of Mukkir.(You will have Dark Spiral flashbacks ;)) The pathway finally widens and you fight numerous high level mukkir. After a few twists and turns, you find Targor. Kill him, loot a crystal, and head for Wai Jhou. Killcrane will take crystal and give you a necklace (lvl 150+ weild), and xp(My fellow members and I got 29 mil). The shadow bosses also drop lore that can be turned in at Crag to bretself. Not a must-have necklace, but it is a fun quest. =]

Sarkin Killcrane doesn't know what to do with that.

Riordin Nightbane tells you, "I have been brought here to assist Sarkin Killcrane in the collection of the Frozen Black Crystals he has been receiving from adventurers as of late. If you wish to try to retrieve one of these crystals for us, I have heard that they can be found on a Mukkir named Targor. Targor seems to be a part of an ongoing conflict between the Raven Hand and a group of Shadows up around 68.4N, 66.6E."
Riordin Nightbane tells you, "Shadows actually trying to stop the Raven Hand... Will wonders never cease."
You give Riordin Nightbane Frozen Black Crystal.
Riordin Nightbane tells you, "Ahh, a frozen crystal shard. The mages in the Order have had some luck with figuring out what this was. It seems that this is a fragment of some sort of Totem, similar to the Ice Totems built by the Ruschk."
Riordin Nightbane tells you, "We haven't been able to reconstruct the totem yet, as the pieces are small and badly damaged, but we are hoping to collect enough pieces to reconstruct at least one complete totem."
Riordin Nightbane tells you, "It is our hope to use this totem to learn more about the Mukkir, and possibly make a weapon against them."
Riordin Nightbane tells you, "It was a great risk and noble act that you undertook in acquiring this crystal and bringing it here. Sarkin has given me these medallions to award to those whom have aided us in this."
You've earned 3,967,448 experience.

You allow Riordin Nightbane to examine your Sticky Lump.

Bretself the Translator gives you Isin Dule's Instructions.
