Walkthrough

Find Kheechiz, Master of Stories (The Emerald Jungle  at 3899, -2077, -344  • Near the lake) .

You say, 'Hail, Kheechiz, Master of Stories'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Have you considered my proposal to help me more?'
You say, 'What do you have in mind?'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Several things, actually!'
Kheechiz browses through the book.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Ah, here!'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'These stories of the common folk are quite enlightening, but they DO let some questions unanswered. So I'd like to learn the stories of the people of rank as well.'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'As you might know, my people had been quite secluded from the world untill  [sic] recently. And while I know more than I'd care to learn about Kaezul, I know little about his allies, the Dark Elves, nor his enemies, the orcs.'
You say, 'What do you require to learn about the people of rank?'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Those stories you gathered from the common folk are fascinating and disturbing at the same time! It seems as if most everybody was expecting a war to break out any day, so now I'm really curious what the ruling caste of that time had on its mind! Will you help me gathering their stories in the same way as before?'

Warning: You are about to receive a container!

You say, 'I'll head right back to old Ikild then!'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Good luck my friend!'

You receive History of the Ruling Class.

Your journal has been updated. [Stories of Old: People of Rank]

 
Journal Text: I agreed to help Kheechiz, Master of Stories in composing a book full of ancient stories from the people of rank of old Ikild. For this to happen, I will have to find three distinct items connected to an individual. Once I have gathered said three pieces per individual, I'll have to return them to Kheechiz, and he will divine the story, so that I can put it down in the book. Kheechiz thinks that four different stories will make for a splendid book.


Gathering Stories

You may do any of the following four steps in any order.


A Captains's Story

Gather and give to Kheechiz, Master of Stories:

  • Captain's Shield
  • Captain's Sword
  • Captain's Insignia
Kheechiz takes the items you hand him. His eyes turn white, as if he enters a trance. Shortly after, he starts talking with a voice not quite his own.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'The triumvirate ordered us to march north to Yclist. War on our own people. I hav  [sic] no idea what is going on here, but how difficult could a fight against a bunch of academics possibly be?'
You take note and write the story down.

You receive A Captains Story.


A Councillor's Story

Gather and give to Kheechiz, Master of Stories:

  • Councillor's Kirt'san
  • Councillor's Robe
  • Councillor's Spirit
Kheechiz takes the items you hand him. His eyes turn white, as if he enters a trance. Shortly after, he starts talking with a voice not quite his own.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'The triumvirate introduced the oddest bill to the council today - something about a special ore they apparently have been studying in secret for quite some time now, and to send some samples of it to the university up north.'
Kheechiz's voice changes slightly. Some time seems to have passed.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'The university agreed to look into the ore but requested more funding. Some funding might be in order, so we agreed to give them half of what they asked for.` [sic]'
Kheechiz's voice changes more. From the changes, you'd guess a few months have passed again.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'The university sent a request for more of the ore. We put it to a vote, but the triumvirate overruled the council. They seem to be worried about their power. What are they hiding about the ore, even from the Elder Council?'
You take note and write the story down.

You receive A Councillors Story.


A Inquisitor's Story

Gather and give to Kheechiz, Master of Stories:

  • Inquisitor's Gavel
  • Inquisitor's Noose
  • Inquisitor's Mask
Kheechiz takes the items you hand him. His eyes turn white, as if he enters a trance. Shortly after, he starts shouting with a voice not quite his own. This one seems more intense than the others.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'HOW DARE THEY? These insolent fools in their university! Denying the Elder Council!'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'And naming the metal after their own pathetic excuse of a city? The AUDACITY!!!'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'They will all burn at the stake.'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Time to dispatch the army and teach them a lesson!'
You take note and write the story down.

You receive An Inquisitors Story.


A Triumvitae's Story

Gather and give to Kheechiz, Master of Stories:

  • Triumvitae's Shin'tuk
  • Triumvitae's Mark
  • Triumvitae's Gauntlets


Kheechiz takes the items you hand him. His eyes turn white, as if he enters a trance. Shortly after, he starts talking with a voice not quite his own.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Spirits guide us, this ore is amazing and terrifying at the same time! And as much as I hate to admit it, we might need to get some arcanists involved - it seems incompatible with our magic.'
Kheechiz's voice changes slightly. Some time seems to have passed.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'The university asked for more of the ore. Who do those morons think that they are? They will have to make due with what WE deem appropriate!'
Kheechiz's voice changes more. From the changes, you'd guess a few months have passed again.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'The liason  [sic] we sent up north came back with deeply troubling news. Apparently those arcanists have no issues enhancing their powers with the ore. This is not acceptable, they must be stopped. We will march our troops north in a week.'
Kheechiz's voice changes slightly yet again. Only a few days seem to have passed.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'The punitive attack failed, those pesky mages raised an impenetrable barrier around their university. Something must have happened to the slaves as well, as if their mind control is crumbling. We will deal with the slaves first, but those treacherous arcanists WILL pay for their treason.'
You take note and write the story down.

You receive A Triumvitaes Story.

Kheechiz browses through the book.
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Apparently they went to war with their arcanists in Yclist! But wait, there is more, one final request I have in this matter! If you would go to Yclist and return to me with the core of one of the ancient golems there, I would be very gracious!'
You say, 'Yclist is a dangerous place, so I will make no promises!'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Good luck!'

Your journal has been updated. [Stories of Old: People of Rank]

 
Journal Text: The book wasn't enough for Kheechiz. Now he is asking for the core of a golem in Yclist. This will better be worth my time!
