Nice, thanks. Keep 'em coming!

[jenizerk]

First, find Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar in Valdeholm. (Location: -1443.1385, 1539.1200) If you look on the map and see Wraithguard Seargant Aerik, that is where you should head. To the west of Aerik is a path that leads up to another "tier" of dwellings.....the first dwelling up the path (nearest the West zone wall) is where Fenegar is. He sees through invis (as does Aerik)....so con them first.

If you are glower or above, proceed with the quest, if not, you need to head to Frostcrypt and obtain faction (roughly 2 hours of killing there at a fairly steady pace will net you the required faction, and prolly a lil extra)

[Thu Oct 12 12:19:16 2006] Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar glowers at you dubiously -- looks like it would wipe the floor with you!
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:16 2006] You suspect that this being can see you.
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:18 2006] You say, 'Hail, Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:18 2006] Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar says 'Hello there. I have heard about the assistance you have given the Wraithguard. What can I do for you, tiny one? Or perhaps you can [do something] for me.'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:22 2006] You say, 'do something'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:23 2006] Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar says 'I have been tasked with evaluating information and items to see if they are of value to our work or to our people. Currently I seek information from within the crypts, perhaps you [can help] me with that. Otherwise I have very little time to [talk] about personal matters.'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:26 2006] You say, 'can help'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:45 2006] You have been assigned the task 'Construction of Shadows'.
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:50 2006] You say, 'talk'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:50 2006] Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar says 'Well, perhaps I have a few moments.' He smiles. 'What would you like to talk about? I was once a [high lorekeeper], and I suppose I still am in a way, so I know a few stories, though it's always the [personal stories] that interest me the most.'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:54 2006] You say, 'high lorekeeper'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:54 2006] Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar says 'Ah, well I guess you wouldn't really know what a lorekeeper's duties are. A lorekeeper is the keeper of our traditions, history and knowledge. He is often called upon to arbitrate disputes, serve as a priest at worship ceremonies, and keep a working knowledge of magic as well as engineering. Most of us specialize in an area, obviously there is too much for one being to know it all, but we all must have enough understanding to perform any of the duties. The duty that I enjoyed the most was the readings. Every day there is a gathering in the city to hear one of the lorekeepers tell a tale from history or pass on a tradition. Each of us is required to do this, though some put it off as long as they can. I rather enjoyed it.'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:58 2006] You say, 'personal stories'
[Thu Oct 12 12:19:59 2006] Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar says 'Well, since my [exile] I have little to tell.'
[Thu Oct 12 12:20:01 2006] You say, 'exile'
[Thu Oct 12 12:20:01 2006] Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar says 'Yes, I was declared a heretic, a worshipper of gods other than Rallos Zek. Of course I did no such thing. I found the heretics at their altar while I was searching for [lost tomes] in the ruins to the south. It was Fergarin who lead them, and it was Fergarin that testified against me. My only crime was that I kept seeking lost pages instead of rushing back to Valdeholm to report the heretics. They arrived first and claimed that they were the ones out seeking lost lore and that they found me at the altar.' He smiles sadly. 'My only crime is that I love my work more than I love the rules of society. Now I must fight for my life every day, but at least I have my brothers of the guard with me and they appreciate my work.'
[Thu Oct 12 12:20:04 2006] You say, 'lost tomes'
[Thu Oct 12 12:20:05 2006] Sorry Sveri, I don't have anything for someone with your abilities.
[Thu Oct 12 12:20:05 2006] Wraithguard Lorekeeper Fenegar says 'I never found complete books, mind you, but there are many pages of ancient Krithgor text that can still be recovered. If you can find them and return them to me bound carefully, perhaps I can find a way to reward you.'

He offers 2 tasks....the first one, construction of shadows, isnt that big of a deal, but you can request it if you desire. Its for a gimpy wolf/invis potion that you really dont need, however, doing that quest will raise faction, which I suspect opens up more quests eventually.

Anyways, lost tomes is the trigger phrase for the runed diamond aug, which you desire.
http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=53713

You may say "omg 10 percent mana pres only" and seem shocked. And yet its better than most focus fx when you factor in the degrading effect of your normal mana pres items.....theres a few mana pres items out there that, after degrading, are better, so you have to first see what you have and decide if the timesink is worth it (and this quest is a time sink)

Now that you have the container, head to the Steppes. Kill gnolls. Lots. And Lots. Of Gnolls.
When you kill gnolls, occasionally you will see different page drops. To add to the confusion, the gnolls drop brittle parchments, tattered scrolls (3 different kinds)...

The items you want are : TORN pages.
http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemlist.htm ... torn+pages
Shows what the item graphic look like.
You need 1 of each type to combine in container.

Once you obtain all 4 pages (and you will probably get duplicates, so either loot them on an alt or make sure a guildie is nearby that can loot) combine them in the container to get the book the task asks for.

Head back to Valdeholm, and hand the book to Fenegar, who will give you a small amount of faction, and you can accept your reward.

Not a bad aug, and for many it will be an upgrade, far as mana preservation goes.

Take but a moment and remember those who came before us. There are so many brothers and sisters that have died in the conflict against Dyn`leth, as well as the dragons that were slain in the raising of the spine, and our own mother Veldyn, who died from grief.'

You say, 'How can I reflect?'

Lawwe in Mourning says 'It warms my heart to know that you've taken an interest in our past, ____.'

You have been assigned the task 'A Tapestry of Words'.

At the end of "A Tapestry of Words"...

Vandimakir the Poet says 'Thank you so much for your help. When you speak to Lawwe again, let her know that this [reflects] well on both you and her, as well as those that raised you.'

You say, 'reflects'

Lawwe in Mourning says 'It warms my heart to know that you've taken an interest in our past, ____.'

You have been assigned the task 'Tears of the Betrayed'.

Lawwe told you that one of the most tragic death in dragonkin history was the fall of the scale guardian, Lethar. He was a noble and powerful black dragon. standing guard for centuries over the Reliquary and the artifacts of Veeshan. Yet when the temple was displaced from the Broodlands, the once proud and mighty protector of the Scale of Veeshan succumbed to greed, and later fear.

She wishes you to pay him homage. Begin by speaking to Y`ssuria in the Dragon's Grove.

Speak to Y`ssuria the Elder to learn how to pay homage to Lethar - Crescent Reach

You say, 'Hail, Y`ssuria the Elder'

Y`ssuria the Elder lowers her head and snorts out a puff of dark smoke, 'Lawwe sent you, did she? You're not the first to come here for my help, and you won't be the last. I have a riddle for you, Lias, and a contradiction. No mortal shall ever see a dragon's tears. And yet in the moment that Lethar betrayed us all, the burning dragon cried . . . And continues to shed tears to this day. To pay homage to Lethar, take this Crystallized Shard to the burning dragon and share a tear with him.'

You receive Crystallized Dragon Tear.

Search for an area in Ashengate where the burning dragon cries - Ashengate, Reliquary of the Scale

Is it just me or does the tier 4 necro arms seem weak in comparison to say the clr bracer? I'm not even talking about AC diff, 1 focus effect and 1 mod wtf?

well this explains a little better how to do tier 3 and 4 which are tss raids(gayness extreme)
his location is neg 1395 neg 1922 next to the alchemy merchants...you gotta take the elevator up.

You say, 'Hail, Terraxs'
Terraxs says 'Vasha, Fendiyenae. Have you come to me because you hunger for a [challenge]?'
You say, 'challenge'
Terraxs says 'Indeed! I have learned the secret of forming together armors of amazing power but only the strongest and most valiant should attempt to walk the [road] I can lead you down!'
You say, 'road'
Terraxs says 'Well not an actual road, no, of course not! I meant it more figuratively! I have discovered the forms of a [recipe] that I think may wish to explore with me, Fendiyenae!'
You say, 'recipe'
Terraxs says 'I have compared notes with my friend Tenish about the magical relics we have been coming across. We both have a theory about how to leverage the power lying dormant in these items but Tenish thinks too small for my taste. I have heard that the really powerful relics are closer to the [source] of the magic that has enchanted the relics we have found.'
You say, 'source'
Terraxs says 'I suppose I should say sources, not source. The peak our cousin Dyn`leth sits atop and the mighty giant enclave both appear to be focal points for incredible energy. If you would like to experiment with me, and if you and your companions are strong enough, then I can share with you my [thoughts] on the subject'
You say, 'thoughts'
Terraxs says 'Excellent Fendiyenae! Return to me when you have gathered these items and we will attempt to craft something fantastic together!'

Dyn`leth will absolutely not be a patron dragon, as he is not in fact a dragon at all, let alone one of The Six. I think you should read much more about the lore behind such things, especially since you refer to him as a "her", twice...
