(Trakanon's Teeth)
This is the first monster mission in a series of three which lead up to the 24-person raid monster mission, The Fall of an Empire.
"a forgotten noble" may be found at -3260, +2535.
You say, 'Hail, a forgotten noble'
a forgotten noble says 'The book. Charged, was I, with its safekeeping. All was well until that fateful day: the day of the fall. They descended upon us with horrible fury. I could not fulfill my task. The failure will haunt me. I will haunt this grave . . . until the end of time. An eternity of unrest awaits unless I can uncover the whereabouts of the ancient book of the dead. You, mortal . . . you must seek them out. Find Tulok the Folklorist and the Spirit of Kotiz. They can help pinpoint the location! Kotiz is nearby. Tulok wanders the Emerald Jungle.'
Tulok may be found at +4015, +3465 in the Emerald Jungle, in some ruins on the plateau in the northwest corner of the zone.
You say, 'Hail, Tulok'
Tulok says 'Ssssoo, what is a Halfling doing out this far from home? Now that you have. . .found me. . .what can I, Tulok, a mere [historian] do for you?'
You say, 'Historian?'
Tulok says 'During my long yearssss I have collected many talessss and other bitssss of hisssstory. For instancccce I have dissscovered more about the iksssar [dark lord] himssself, Venril Sssathir.'
You say, 'Dark lord?'
Tulok says 'Yesss. As Venril asssscended to the iksssar throne, he had many rebellionsss to crusssh beneath hisss heel. One uprising represssented the final obssstacle to controlling the entire continent. It wassss later known assss the [First Slaves' War].'
You say, 'First Slaves' War?'
Tulok says 'Asss the forcesss of Venril marched acrossss the face of the continent, ssssome of the other races willingly ssssubmitted before them. Othersss fled entirely, leaving whole citiesss to rot. Still fewer joined together in hopes of sssstopping the iksssar horde. The War of the First Slave's would sssseee [froglok and giant] ally in desperation.'
You say, 'Froglok and giant?'
Tulok says 'Ccccorrect. froglok and Mountain giantsss allied to defend againssst the forcesss of the dark lord. During the war, however, there wasss an impasse. The froglokssss proved to be sssskillful tacticiansss. And of courssse the mountainousss terrain of the battlefield aided the giantsss' ability to fight. Till Venril had a [plan].'
You say, 'Plan?'
Tulok says 'Yesss. He sssent in a small cccadre of iksssar ssshock troopsss. While the majority of Venril'ssss forcesss kept the froglokkkk and mountain giant armiesss bussssy, the sssmall band of elite sssoldiers sssnuck into the giant fort and ssslew the leadersss of the rebellion. If you clossee your eyessss, I bet you can almossst hear the sssoundsss of battle drawing [closer].'
You are offered a shared task called "One Shall Rule Them All." In the task window:
You are part of an elite cadre of Iksar Troops who have been given a special assignment. Whilst the rest of the Iksar Army keeps much of the Giant & Froglok Forces occupied, you must sneak into the Giant Stronghold and assassinate the five leaders of the opposing forces. Without these important officials, the enemy will surely crumble.
Quickly head to the location of the Giant Fortress as our spies inform us that a Froglok Emissary is about to leave and seek out additional allies.
You are offered the monster templates of Iksar Shaman, Iksar Monk, or Iksar Shadowknight (levels? abilities?).
Say "enter" to get teleported into the instance, where you will find yourself roughly south of the giant fort upon zone-in.
Discover the location of the Giant Fortress - Frontier Mountains
As you move toward the fort, you'll need to watch out for the giant patrols, each of which has approximately thirteen giants: 1 Giant Patrol Leader, 6-8 soldiers, and 4-6 shaman (need exact in-game names, level ranges, fight info). You can avoid them and head to the hill directly out from the entrance to the fort. Stay far away from the entrance as 1-2 patrols circle the fort.
Upon arrival at the fort, you'll receive your task update message.
Prevent the Emissary from going to the Overthere - Frontier Mountains
The froglok emissary is heading to the Overthere. He must be stopped at all costs!
When you reach the entrance, you'll see a froglok emissary being escorted by a Giant Bruiser and Giant Shaman (need exact in-game names, level ranges, fight info). Kill these three to receive the next task update.
Kill Tactician Zarius - Frontier Mountains
Kill Commander Kreegun - Frontier Mountains
Kill General Githyun - Frontier Mountains
Kill Commander Muglom - Frontier Mountains
Kill General Kraglok - Frontier Mountains
Stage description needed.
The tactician, one of the generals, and one commander spawn on the upper level of the fort. The other general and commander are located at the very end of the mine tunnel in the fort. Upon killing all five, you receive another task update.
Escape the Giant Fortress and report back to Zathrin - (Zone?)
Stage description needed. Who/where is Zathrin?
You can leave the fort and head to the Lake of Ill Omen zoneline. Instead of zoning there, you will be teleported back to Zathrin (need confirmation of this).
Loot your shards (called what?), collect the other loot, and tell Zathrin "I am ready to leave," at which point you are teleported back out.
(Do shards drop from chests at the end of this mission? If so, what are they called and how many drop?)
Rewards may be one of the following:
Common loot is Scaled Jewel, which transmutes to:
? (level 1-10),
? (level 11-20),
