You say, 'Hail, Sihala, Lady of the Earth'

Sihala, Lady of the Earth looks at you, confusion and betrayal in her eyes. 'You are alive! And back to yourself, at least for now...

You say, 'I'm sorry, to have caused you worry my Lady.'

'Sihala, Lady of the Earth says, 'Seek out the traitor... be systematic, and leave no stone unturned.'

You say, 'I'm sorry, to have caused you worry my Lady.'

Sihala, Lady of the Earth smiles. 'I was worried about you, but this grief is due to the knowledge that there is a traitor in our midst. My agent in Surefall was killed shortly after you left... and Ice Keeper is dead now as well... again right after you left. I know these deeds were not done by you... but what is clear was an inside job... I know not who to trust.'

You say, 'Let me investigate it. Our enemy can detect the... corruption... and may believe me to be a friend.'

Sihala, Lady of the Earth says, 'I am worried about putting too much stress on you in your current state... but your logic is sound. This is one of the corrupted seeds. Take it with you, and show it to the denizens of this realm, see how they react. My Sentinels and the River Keeper have been with me since the great war, they are exempt from your investigation for your own safety. Otherwise anyone is suspect. Please, do your best. I'll continue to try and find some way to cure this corruption.'

You receive Corrupted Seed from Sihala, Lady of the Earth.

Show the Corrupted Seed to or talk to various named NPCs in Plane of Earth.

Find Melokh'Tanin (Plane of Earth  at -3117, 255, -531  • Underwater) and give him the Corrupted Seed.

Melokh'Tanin says, 'WHAT IS THIS YOU BRING TO MELOKH'TANIN.

You say, 'Wait you can talk?'

Melokh'Tanin says, 'I REPEAT MY QUESTION. WHAT IS THIS YOU BRING TO ME.'

You say, 'Uhmm its a seed...'

Melokh'Tanin says, 'FOR WHAT? IT IS SO Small! FOR A BLADE OF GRASS PERHAPS?'

You say, 'What do you know about this seed?'

Melokh'Tanin says, 'THEY ARE USUALLY USED FOR GROWING THINGS.'

You say, 'It's too Small for you to see isn't it...'

Melokh'Tanin says, 'THE REAL QUESTION IS HOW ARE YOU SPEAKING UNDERWATER?'

You say, 'Answer my question please.'

Melokh'Tanin tightens his enourmous jaws...

Melokh'Tanin says, 'YOUR EYES ARE VERY JUDGEMENTAL RIGHT NOW.'

You say, 'So you can see my eyes, but not the seed then?'

Melokh'Tanin says, 'WAIT! YOU ARE ACCUSING ME OF TAMPERING WITH THE TREANT SEEDS AREN'T YOU!'

You say, 'Why are you avoiding my questions? Have something to hide?

Molak'tanin roars angrily and waves one of his claws towards you, knocking out of the water. Wise adventurers would avoid the lake for the time being.

Note: It is a good idea to keep levitate on as the knock-backs could cause you to fall for 20k damage.

Find Darkbloom (Plane of Earth  at -446, -2483, 220  •)

You say, 'Hail, Darkbloom'

Darkbloom's mandibles point towards you, and his petals tilt slightly, curiosity perhaps?

Give the seed to Darkbloom (Plane of Earth  at -446, -2483, 220  •)

As you begin to uncover the seed with your hands, Darkbloom suddenly hisses and moves backwards- two tentacles shoot out of the ground and hit you in the chest!

Find Aiwen the Old (Plane of Earth  at -1580, -185, -53  •)

You say, 'Hail, Aiwen the Old'

The voice of Aiwen the Old booms in your mind, 'No I don't recognize the seed, nor am I a traitor. And yes, suspecting me will not end will for you.'

Find Veteran Klindra (Plane of Earth  at -3281, -1992, 268  •)

You say, 'Hail, Veteran Klindra'

Veteran Klindra says, 'Greetings friends, sit down, but watch where you sit!'

Give the seed to Veteran Klindra

Veteran Klindra says, 'Whoa careful with that thing! You better hold it!'

You say, 'Do you recognize this seed?'

Veteran Klindra says, 'Sure do! It is the cause of all the ruckus lately.'

You say, 'Indeed, know anything else about it...'

Veteran Klindra says, 'Anything other than the fact that it is clearly corrupted and about twice my size?'

You say, 'Er...yes other than that...'

Veteran Klindra says, 'Nope. I really hope you're not thinking what I'm thinking you're thinking...'

You say, 'I really hope I'm not either.. please don't hit me.'

Veteran Klindra grins, than rushes at you, palming you in the chest.

At this point, there will be no further clues as to who to visit. Go inside the bottom floor of the treehouse that Sihala, Lady of the Earth resides and hand the Corrupted Seed to Felwood the Earth Mephit (Plane of Earth  at 1596, -1669, 46  • Treehouse, Roams)

Felwood the Earth Mephit's eyes widen in shock when you hand him the seed. 'Where you get this kid?'

You say, 'You recognize this seed?'

Felwood the Earth Mephit nods, 'Ya... but... I can't talk about it to someone like you...'

First option

You say, 'Sihala NEEDS this information, she's depending on you!'

Felwood the Earth Mephit grins. 'Be that as it may... you are gonna need to prove you are on our side. Prove to me that you are still an agent of Balance. Go to Darkwoods and challenge the warped skeletons you find there. Bring back to me an intact warped skull. This will show you truly believe in the natural order.'

You say, 'Hail, Felwood the Earth Mephit'

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'Prove your intentions! Kill the Warped Skeletons in Darkwoods!'

Gather and give a Wapred Skull to Felwood the Earth Mephit (Plane of Earth  at 1596, -1669, 46  • Treehouse, Roams)

You gain 50000 experience!!

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'Well then you sure have proven yourself to me! As a reward, give me your Mark of the Tracker, I'll make it even more powerful. You'll need the boost to get the traitor.'

You say, 'Hail, Felwood the Earth Mephit'

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'Don't dwadle! Handy me your Mark of the Tracker!'

You gain 1 experience!!

You receive Mark of the Fool from Felwood the Earth Mephit.

Felwood the Earth Mephit cackles and runs!

Second option

You say '[Act like you are corrupted]The Master wishes this delivered to him.

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'Is that a fact? He he he. Well I'd like to believe you, but this could be a trap... you are gonna have do more than use words to influence me. Prove who your Master is! Go to the frozen north, and kill the rare and beautiful snow griffon. Bring back to me an intact pelt, that we may present it to the Master. Go now!'

Head to Eastern Wastelands and kill A snow griffon until you get a Pristine Snow Griffon Pelt

Return to Felwood the Earth Mephit (Plane of Earth  at 1596, -1669, 46  • Treehouse, Roams) and give him a Pristine Snow Griffon Pelt

Felwood the Earth Mephit smiles. 'A most worthy servant of the Master! But that Mark no longer suits you. Give me the Mark of the Tracker, and I'll give you something more appropriate.'

You gain 50000 experience!!

Hand your Mark of Sihala's Tracker to Felwood the Earth Mephit.

You gain 1 experience!!

You receive Mark of the Fool from Felwood the Earth Mephit.

Felwood the Earth Mephit cackles and runs!

Felwood fight

Felwood runs to the Plane of Earth zone-in area. This allows you to assemble a group of non-Sihala followers to fight him.

Note: Healers sworn to Sihala still cannot heal their own party while fighting Felwood. It would be a good idea to bring a non-Sihala sworn group healer.

Fight Felwood the Earth Mephit until he yields, and then use the dialogue options which will ultimately end with him dying.

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'I surrender! I'll answer your questions, just don't hurt me anymore!'

You say, 'Who else up here is in on this? Who has been stealing the seeds and corrupting the plants!'

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'I tampered with the first set. I pricked them with a scimitar Temptation gave to me, that was all that was needed.'

You say, 'Temptation? Who is Temptation?'

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'You've met her... she's is a vessel for- No! NO! I'm SORRY! PLEASE NOW!'

You say, 'Keep talking! Answer my questions!'

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'No! My insides... they are freezing. So cold! I... I...'

You say, 'Hail, Felwood the Earth Mephit'

A familiar voice can be heard. You do not know if the words were meant for you to hear. 'You are a failure Felwood. No wonder the Master chose me to finish the job.'

Felwood the Earth Mephit says, 'No! I helped you! I made sure they never saw through you! Dammit I helped you get to Rivervale!'

The familiar voice speaks, 'And reaffirmed that the Master is right. Through his power I will right that wrong, and many many others.'

Felwood the Earth Mephit shivers and slows down. 'I... you... Master... Sihala... someone... help me... Everfrost...'

The familiar voice giggles like a child...

Felwood the Earth Mephit explodes into shards of ice!

Felwood the Earth Mephit died.
